BYU wide receiver Kyler Kasper is lifted in celebration by teammates after his 13-yard touchdown catch against Arizona State in Provo

BYU built a 17-3 halftime lead, watched Arizona State erase all of it, and still found the answer drive when it mattered, holding off the Sun Devils 27-20 in Provo on Saturday.

The game’s defining play came in the first quarter. At the goal line, BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier fumbled, and after two official reviews, running back Sione Moa was credited with a fumble-recovery touchdown. FOX’s rules analyst disagreed with the call on air, Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham was furious, and in the end that touchdown was the margin of victory.

Bachmeier finished 19 of 29 for 236 yards and a touchdown to Kyler Kasper, who caught four passes for 57 yards. Legend Glasker led BYU with 87 receiving yards. Moa scored twice, adding a 1-yard touchdown run with 2:12 left at the end of an 11-play, 82-yard drive that answered Arizona State’s comeback.

Arizona State freshman Jake Fette, making his first career start, threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to tie the game 17-17 after trailing by 14 at the half. Fette finished 22 of 42 for 166 yards with no interceptions while taking six sacks. Cardae Mack ran 23 times for 123 yards for the Sun Devils.

BYU improves to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the Big 12. Arizona State falls to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play.

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers hurdles an Oklahoma defender during the Gamecocks' 42-25 win in Norman

LaNorris Sellers put on a show in Norman. The South Carolina quarterback threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 96 yards and two more scores as the Gamecocks routed Oklahoma 42-25 on Saturday, their third straight win.

Sellers opened the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown run. Oklahoma’s only first-half life was a Kip Lewis 30-yard pick-six that tied it 7-7 early in the second quarter, and South Carolina answered immediately: Christian Clark’s short touchdown run, then Sellers hit DJ Black for an 84-yard touchdown on third-and-12 and Nyck Harbor for an 8-yard score with 16 seconds left in the half. Oklahoma’s offense managed just 71 total yards before halftime.

Sellers’ 11-yard rushing touchdown made it 35-10 in the third quarter, and after Oklahoma finally scored on offense, he answered with a 79-yard touchdown strike to Mazeo Bennett Jr. early in the fourth quarter. Bennett finished with four catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Oklahoma scored twice late against the reserves, John Mateer finding Ivan Carreon for touchdowns of 34 and 10 yards, the first two scoring catches of Carreon’s career, but the Sooners’ last drive died on downs at the South Carolina 1-yard line. South Carolina outgained Oklahoma 521 yards to 359 and won despite throwing three interceptions.

South Carolina improves to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC. Oklahoma falls to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play.
