MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Michael Bishop threw for 441 yards and four touchdowns, including a school-record 97-yarder to Aaron Lockett, as No. 3 Kansas State won its 12th straight over Northeast Louisiana, 62-7.

Bishop, who set a school record with 475 yards in total offense, completed 23 of 40 passes and was 48 yards away from Chad May's school record for passing yards in a game when he went to the bench with 11 minutes remaining and Kansas State (4-0) leading 48-7.

No. 10 Florida St. 30, No. 18 Southern California 10

At Tallahassee, Fla., Chris Weinke threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns in a game that featured periodic downpours caused by Hurricane Georges.

The Seminoles (3-1) forced five turnovers and held Southern Cal (3-1) to three completions for 23 yards passing - 172 below the Trojans' average.

No. 11 Virginia 24, Duke 0

At Durham, N.C., Virginia's defense forced eight turnovers and Aaron Brooks atoned for a poor passing day with a 57-yard scoring run late in the third quarter.

Virginia (3-0 ACC, 4-0) is off to its best ACC start in three years. Duke (0-2, 2-2) lost a record 20th straight league game and was shut out for the first time in 55 games.

No. 15 Colorado 18, Baylor 16

He completed only 2-of-8 passes, was sacked once and fumbled away a snap to squander a scoring opportunity.

Little of Adam Bledsoe's play reminded anyone of his older brother, New England Patriot quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Until the fourth quarter, that is.

Bledsoe, who replaced Mike Moschetti late in the third quarter after Moschetti sprained his right ankle, completed a 44-yard pass to Darrin Chiaverini, setting up Jeremy Aldrich's 31-yard field goal with two minutes remaining in No. 15 Colorado's 18-16 victory over Baylor Saturday night.

The Buffaloes (4-0) built a 15-3 lead, fell behind 16-15 with 6:31 left, then rallied behind Bledsoe for the winning score.

No. 19 West Virginia 44, Tulsa 21

At Morgantown, W. Va., Amos Zereoue rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns to lead West Virginia over Tulsa in a mistake-filled game.

Marc Bulger passed for 253 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers (2-1). John Fitzgerald threw two toychdown passes for Tulsa (2-1).

No. 20 Oregon 63, Stanford 28

At Eugene, Ore., Reuben Droughns rushed for 214 yards and three touchdown and Akili Smith threw for four first-half scores as Oregon crushed Stanford.

Oregon (1-0 Pac-10, 4-0) piled up 664 yards in offense and scored its most points since a 97-0 defeat of Willamette in 1916. It was the most points given up by Stanford (0-2, 1-3) since a 72-0 loss at UCLA in 1954.

No. 21 Virginia Tech 27, Pittsburgh 7

At Blacksburg, Va., Keion Carpenter had three interceptions, including one he returned for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Virginia Tech won despite playing much of the game without its top two quarterbacks.

Virginia Tech (2-0 Big East, 4-0) had to use safety Nick Sorenson at quarterback because starter Al Clark was injured last week and backup Dave Meyer separated a shoulder early in the second half.
