Saturday NCAA Football Recap: Upsets for Top 10 Schools and Throughout Texas
Rough game day in Texas. Take a look back at the biggest upsets of the day:
Arizona State 13, Washington 7
The Sun Devils dominated the field with impenetrable defense. Missed field goals and a slow-moving offense kept the Huskies shut out until well into the fourth quarter.
LSU 27, Auburn 23
Strong second half defense and special teams plays made the way for LSU to iron out a major victory over Auburn in Saturday’s nail-biter game. Tough break for the Auburn Tigers who were off to a decent start early on.
TCU 26, Kansas State 6
The Horned Frogs were unstoppable in their win over Kansas State. Despite a 3-hour weather delay in Kansas, TCU pulled ahead early in the game, ending the first quarter with a 10-0 lead. The Wildcats got on the board with two field goals in the first and second quarters but still proved no match for the Horned Frogs.
Texas A&M 19, Florida 17
Daniel LaCamera kicked four field goals as the Aggies picked up a tough win on the road against Florida.
Oklahoma 29, Texas 24
The Sooners kept their playoff dreams alive after a narrow victory over Texas in the Red River Showdown.
West Virginia 46, Texas Tech 35
Quarterback Will Grier led his teammates to a show-stopping finish against the Red Raiders. Scoring four touchdowns in the second half, the Mountaineers earned their first victory over an AP Top 25 team in 10 tries since 2014.
Oklahoma State 59, Baylor 16
Oklahoma State took advantage of Baylor’s precipitous fall from last year in a display of pure offensive dominance. OSU Quarterback Mason Rudolph led his team to a school-record 747 yards in this spectacular win over Baylor.
Tulsa 45, Houston 17
Houston left stunned after a brutal defeat against Tulsa. Tough loss for the Cougars who held on until being shutout in the third quarter.

Astros eye a bounce-back before momentum gets away
Jul 9, 2025, 2:46 pm
Angel Martínez hit a grand slam off closer Josh Hader with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Cleveland Guardians to a 10-6 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
José Ramírez and Brayan Rocchio also homered to help the Guardians beat the Astros for a second straight night after entering the series on a 10-game skid.
Out for a second inning after throwing a scoreless ninth and with a runner on starting on second, Hader (5-2) intentionally walked Ramírez before walking Carlos Santana to load the bases. Hader struck out pinch-hitter Johnathan Rodríguez before Martínez sent a sinker 344 feet, into the first row of the seats in left field to put the Guardians on top.
Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase struck out one in a scoreless 10th to end it after Jakob Junis (2-1) struck out two in the ninth to earn the win.
Houston scored two runs in the eighth inning, with an RBI single from Jose Altuve, to tie it.
Altuve had two hits and drove in four runs, and rookie Cam Smith added three hits.
Houston starter Hunter Brown, who entered with an MLB-leading 1.82 ERA, yielded six hits and a season-high six runs in six innings.
There was one on with one out in the first when Ramírez homered for a second consecutive game, giving the Guardians a 2-0 lead.
The Astros cut the lead to 2-1 when Isaac Paredes scored on a sacrifice fly by Altuve in the bottom of the inning.
Rocchio doubled to start the third before scoring on a one-out double by Nolan Jones, making it 3-1. A two-out single by Daniel Schneemann scored two more, extending the lead to 5-1.
Altuve’s two-run double cut the lead to 6-3 with no outs in the fifth. Houston got within 6-4 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Victor Caratini.
Cleveland starter Joey Cantillo allowed five hits and three runs with seven strikeouts in four-plus innings.
