Andre Anderson scored the tying touchdown with one second left in regulation, then rushed for the winning score in overtime as Tulane defeated Texas-El Paso 45-38 on Saturday in New Orleans.

Anderson scored on an 11-yard pass from Ryan Griffin to conclude a nine-play, 86-yard drive and force the extra period, then scored on a 7-yard touchdown run on the first possession of overtime. He finished with 105 yards on 29 carries.

The Miners reached the Green Wave 2-yard line on the ensuing possession, but on fourth down from the 5, Alex Wacha sacked Trevor Vittatoe for a 21-yard loss that ended the game.

McNeal leads SMU past Rice: Shawnbrey McNeal rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns to lift SMU to a 31-28 win over Rice in Dallas.

The Mustangs (5-4, 4-1 Conference USA) blocked three kicks.

After Sterling Moore blocked one as time expired in the first half, Bryan McCann returned the ball 74 yards for a score, giving SMU a 21-20 halftime lead.

McCann's score helped SMU erase a 13-point first-half deficit.

Defensive end Margus Hunt blocked an extra point attempt and a field goal attempt by Rice (0-9, 0-5).

McNeal scored on a 9-yard run in the fourth to give SMU a 31-20 lead.

Rice narrowed the SMU lead to 31-28 with 1:47 left when Nick Fanuzzi threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Toren Dixon and the Owls converted the 2-point conversion.

Tennessee routs in-state rival Memphis: Jonathan Crompton threw for a career-high 331 yards and five touchdowns and ran for another as Tennessee routed Memphis 56-28 in Knoxville, Tenn.

Crompton surpassed his previous career high of 310 yards with a 10-yard pass to Denarius Moore on Tennessee's first drive of the second half.

He tied his career high of five touchdown passes on the next play with a 16-yard connection with Moore to make it 49-7 with 12:38 in the third quarter.

Crompton finished 21-for-27 and no interceptions and was replaced by backup Nick Stephens halfway through the third quarter.

Tennessee (5-4) gave coach Lane Kiffin his first winning streak and dominated the game much as it's done the series.

The Vols hold an all-time 21-1 advantage against Memphis (2-7) and have won all 12 meetings in Knoxville.

Webb leads UAB past Florida Atlantic: Joe Webb threw four touchdowns and rushed for two scores to lead Alabama-Birmingham to a 56-29 rout over Florida Atlantic in Birmingham, Ala.

Webb was 14-for-19 passing for 292 yards for the Blazers (4-5), while the quarterback also ran for 120 yards on 15 carries.

He threw touchdown passes of 36, 22, 24 and 17 yards. He also had rushing scores of 65 and 2 yards.

Rashaud Slaughter rushed for 104 yards on four carries, including a 31-yard rushing score to give Alabama-Birmingham a 35-14 lead in the first half. By Associated Press
