Houston needed a win to stay alive in the Conference USA race. Case Keenum engineered it in record-setting fashion Saturday.

He threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns in just more than two quarters as No. 24 Houston (9-2, 5-2) beat Memphis 55-14 in Houston.

Marshall outlasts SMU: Brian Anderson threw two second-half touchdown passes to freshman Aaron Dobson to lead Marshall to a 34-31 win over SMU in Huntington, W.Va.

Martin Ward ran for 136 yards and a score for Marshall (6-5, 4-3 Conference USA).

SMU (6-5, 5-2) fell into a first-place tie in the West Division with Houston with one game remaining. Houston holds the tiebreaker after beating SMU 38-15 earlier this season. SMU hosts Tulane, and Houston hosts Rice next Saturday.

SMU's Kyle Padron threw two TD passes but lost for the first time in four starts since taking over for the injured Bo Levi Mitchell.

Harris' leads East Carolina past UAB: Dwayne Harris caught eight passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns, including a kickoff return for a score, to lead East Carolina to a 37-21 win over Alabama-Birmingham in Greenville, N.C. By Staff Reports
