STARKVILLE, Mississippi: Dak Prescott ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, leading No. 3 Mississippi State to a 38-23 victory over No. 2 Auburn in College Football on Saturday.

Mississippi State has won nine straight games going back to last season. Auburn, the defending SEC champion, lost for the first time since last season’s national championship game.

The Bulldogs took a 21-0 lead in the first nine minutes, but Auburn pulled to 28-20 in the third quarter. The Tigers couldn’t complete the comeback, though, undone by Ricardo Louis’ fumble in the fourth quarter, untimely penalties and an inconsistent offense.

Prescott completed 18 of 34 passes for 246 yards and ran for 121 yards. He threw two interceptions.

Josh Robinson ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns, De’Runnya Wilson had four receptions for 72 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown catch. And the defense bailed out the offense with red- zone stops following turnovers.

Auburn’s Nick Marshall threw for 209 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He ran for 100 yards.

At College Station, Texas, Bo Wallace ran for two scores and threw a touchdown pass to help the third-ranked Rebels beat No.14 Texas A&M 35-20.

Wallace gave Mississippi an early lead with touchdown runs on consecutive possessions in the first quarter. Cody Prewitt returned an interception 75 yards for a score in the second quarter to make it 21-0.

A&M cut it to 14 in the third quarter, but Wallace answered with 33-yard touchdown pass and Mississippi padded the lead with a fumble return for a TD early in the fourth quarter.

Jameis Winston was nearly flawless, throwing for 317 yards and three touchdowns, Mario Pender scored twice, and top ranked Florida State beat Syracuse, 38-20.

The Seminoles have won a school-record 22 straight games, the longest streak in the nation, and 19 in a row in the conference.

Rarely pressured, Winston was 30 of 36 for his fifth 300-yard passing game on the road. Tight end Nick O’Leary had a career-high eight catches for 97 yards and one touchdown.

At Waco, Texas, Chris Callahan kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired and Baylor wiped out a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to beat TCU, 61-58.

In other games, No.6 Notre Dame had a 50-43 victory over North Carolina, No.7 Alabama escaped with a 14-13 at Arkansas and No.8 Michigan State beat Purdue 45-31.

Javorius Allen ran for 205 yards and three touchdowns, and Southern California survived a last-second field goal try to knock off No. 10 Arizona 28-26, while No.11 Oklahoma downed Texas 31-26 and No.12 Oregon defeated No.18 UCLA 42-30.
