Mason Rudolph once again led that offense, completing 25 of 31 passes for 376 yards with three TDs while keeping it clean in the interception category.Oklahoma State trailed 42-34 late in the fourth quarter, but Rudolph threw two TD passes in the final 5:55 to secure the win for the visitors."We've been down so many times throughout my career. Down 14, down 21, down 17, it doesn't matter because we know we can bounce back real quick, get points on the board, get back into the game," Rudolph said, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com).Auburn RB Kerryon JohnsonThe Tigers were going to need a total team effort if they were going to beat top-ranked Georgia, and that's just what they got in front of their home fans at Auburn, Alabama.Auburn also received a sensational offensive effort from Johnson. He carried the ball 32 times for 167 yards as he shredded that Bulldogs defense. However, Johnson did not stop there, as he caught two passes for 66 yards and a touchdown.USC QB Sam DarnoldSam Darnold started the season as one of the leading candidates for the Heisman Trophy. While Darnold had some disappointing efforts in the first part of the year (9-8 TD-to-interception ratio in USC's first five games), he was on top of his game in USC's 38-24 victory over Colorado.Darnold completed 21 of 34 passes for 329 yards with two TDs and no interceptions, and he also had a 24-yard TD run early in the third quarter, and that gave USC a commanding 27-0 lead after the extra point.
