Noah Fifita threw for 376 yards while completing passes to 10 different receivers in Arizona's 41-13 victory Saturday over Oklahoma State in a Big 12 game at Tucson, Ariz. Fifita, who completed 28 of 38 pass attempts, tied a career high with five touchdown passes and had an interception. Oklahoma State (1-4, 0-2 Big 12) played its second game without fired head coach Mike Gundy and first without defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who was let go Monday. Arizona's defense limited Oklahoma State to 158 yards of total offense — 69 passing and 89 rushing — and forced two turnovers. Tre Spivey, a transfer from Kansas State, scored the first two touchdowns for Arizona on receptions of 13 of 22 yards that put the Wildcats ahead 14-3 with 1:26 left in the first quarter. Spivey finished with three catches for 80 yards. Arizona (4-1, 1-1) increased the lead to 21-3 with 6:20 left in the second quarter after Fifita scrambled away from a blitz and found New Mexico transfer Luke Wysong for a 47-yard touchdown. It was the first touchdown with Arizona for Wysong, who had five receptions for 92 yards. Oklahoma State cut the lead to 21-6 with 1:01 left in the half when Logan Ward made his second field goal, a 46-yarder with 1:05 left in the half. Arizona's Michael Salgado-Medina then converted a 34-yard field goal as time expired in the half for a 24-6 lead at the break. The Wildcats had an opportunity to build on their lead with 7:14 left in the third quarter after Tre Smith recovered a fumble at the Oklahoma State 44 that was coughed up by Ronnie Fields Jr. following a strip by Max Harris. A 45-yard pass from Fifita to Spivey took the ball to the Oklahoma State 1. Fifita then fumbled the ball away at that spot with 5:33 remaining in the quarter when Gregory Wendell punched the ball loose and Brian McCoy Jr. recovered. After a three-and-out forced by Arizona's defense, Fifita atoned for his fumble by completing a touchdown pass to Javion Whatley. The 21-yard strike increased Arizona's lead to 31-6 with 2:58 left in the third quarter. Fifita, who added a 29-scoring play a minute later, now has 57 touchdown passes in his career, which is tied for third at Arizona with Khalil Tate. –Field Level Media

CJ Bailey completed 20 of 23 passes for 337 yards and four touchdowns as host North Carolina State defeated Campbell 56-10 Saturday. The Wolfpack (4-2) scored touchdowns on their first eight possessions. The Fighting Camels (1-5) didn't make a stop until Bailey was out of the game. NC State outgained Campbell 607-188. The 49 points were the most NC State has scored in the first half since 2004. After losing back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference games in the past two weeks, the Wolfpack outgained the Camels 482-99 in the first half, the most first-half yards by any college football team this season. NC State was coming off a 23-21 loss to Virginia Tech and 45-33 loss to Duke in the past two weeks. Sophomore Hollywood Smothers dominated on the ground in the first half, gaining 123 yards on four carries and a touchdown. Smothers also caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown. Jayden Scott finished with 89 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns. Terrell Anderson, Cody Hardy, Smothers and Justin Joly all caught touchdown passes as six different NC State players reached the end zone. The Wolfpack scored first when Will Wilson capped a 75-yard, five-play drive with a 2-yard run with 13:03 left in the first quarter. The Camels took advantage of a muffed punt by NC State's Teddy Hoffmann to tie the game with 8:54 left in the first quarter. Campbell took over at the NC State 14 and two plays later Kamden Sixkiller hit Mike Chandler for a 13-yard touchdown and a 7-7 game. That was the last highlight of the first half for the Camels as the Wolfpack ran off 42 straight points before halftime amid 49 straight overall. Smothers ripped off a 59-yard scoring run one play after the Camels had tied it, opening the floodgates. Bailey connected with Hardy from 37 yards out, Smothers from 16 yards away and Anderson 34 yards from distance to push the lead to 35-7 halfway through the second quarter. Scott, a freshman, capped a seven-play, 88-yard drive with a 14-yard scoring run later in the second quarter before finishing a nine-play, 57-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 6:06 left in the third quarter to wrap up the Wolfpack scoring. In between, Bailey tossed his fourth touchdown to Joly. –Field Level Media

Oct 5 (Reuters) – The long batting struggle of West Indies is largely due to poor finances and below-par infrastructure in the Caribbean, test captain Roston Chase said after their defeat by India in the series opener in Ahmedabad on Saturday. India triumphed inside three days and will be favourites to complete a 2-0 series sweep in Delhi starting on Friday against a West Indies side, who were blanked 3-0 at home by Australia in July. In Ahmedabad, West Indies managed 162 and 146 and could not bowl out their rivals the only time India batted in the match. "I think the systems in the Caribbean are a bit poor in terms of training facilities and stuff," Chase told reporters after their defeat by an innings and 140 runs. "I am not using that as an excuse or something to hide behind for poor performances that we've been putting out lately. I still think that the onus is on the players to find some way to churn up runs and wickets and stuff. "But what I would say is, yes, there is obviously a struggle in the Caribbean for finances. So whatever help we can get, if they are planning to get the help, I hope that we do get it so that we could strengthen the infrastructure for cricket." West Indies batted a combined 89.2 overs in Ahmedabad, looking vulnerable against both pace and spin. Chase attributed it to the nature of the tracks back home. "The pitches in the Caribbean are not really batsman-friendly. So guys don't really bat for long periods and score those big scores," the all-rounder said. "And the outfields in the Caribbean are really slow. When you hit the ball in the gaps, you probably end up struggling to get two. Those are just some of the problems that we are faced with in the Caribbean." West Indies, who were bundled out for 27 in the third test against Australia, now have crossed 250 only once in their last 15 test innings. "We've not been able to at least bat 80 overs, bat a day or even get at least 250 or 300 runs on the board," Chase said. "Anytime you win a toss in a test match and bat and you don't bat out the first day, you're always going to be in trouble." (Reporting by Amlan Chakraborty in New Delhi; Editing by William Mallard)

Five-star prospect Jalen Brewster, the No. 1 defensive lineman in the 2027 class per 247Sports, committed on Saturday to play for Joey McGuire, a former head coach of Brewster's high school who is now at the helm of No. 11 Texas Tech. Brewster is a junior at Cedar Hill High School in the Dallas area, where McGuire coached from 2004-16 and captured three state championships. The 6-foot-3, 302-pound defensive tackle chose the Red Raiders over Ohio State, Oregon, Oklahoma, Indiana and Texas A&M. Brewster is not allowed to sign a revenue-share contract until December 2026, per NCAA rules. Brewster is the son of Robert Brewster, a third-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys after being named a two-time All-MAC offensive lineman at Ball State. By landing a commitment from Brewster, the Red Raiders reeled in their second five-star recruit in the current cycle after No. 1 outside linebacker LaDamion Guyton pledged on Aug. 7 to attend Texas Tech. Four-star defensive tackle K'Adrian Redmond (No. 157 overall, per 247Sports) and three-star defensive end Antonio Underwood committed last month. –Field Level Media

Behren Morton threw for 345 yards and a touchdown Saturday night and No. 11 Texas Tech never trailed en route to a 35-11 Big 12 Conference win at Houston in a matchup of unbeatens. Morton hit 28 of 40 passes for the Red Raiders (5-0, 2-0), which also got a pair of touchdown runs and 107 yards rushing from J'Koby Williams. Texas Tech also got three field goals from Stone Harrington and two more from Upton Bellenfant. The Cougars (4-1, 1-1) were forced to play two quarterbacks when starter Conner Weigman was knocked out late in the first half with an undisclosed upper-body injury after completing 5 of 12 passes for 71 yards and one interception. Backup Zeon Chriss was 5-of-13 passing for 93 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Houston managed only 267 total yards and 12 first downs, converting just 1 of 12 third downs, and coughed up three turnovers that led to 10 points. The Red Raiders initiated the scoring in the first quarter with three field goals. Harrington hit from 26 yards out at the 10:31 mark, followed by Bellenfant's 33-yarder 53 seconds later and a 23-yard boot from Harrington with 4:34 remaining. The Cougars got on the board on a 24-yard field goal from Ethan Sanchez with 2:16 left in the first quarter. But Texas Tech answered, as Morton and Cameron Dickey hooked up for a 69-yard touchdown with 56 seconds left for a 15-3 advantage. It was the biggest play of a big game for Dickey, who also rushed for 98 yards on 21 attempts to finish with 167 yards from scrimmage. Williams ran for a 5-yard score with 11:11 remaining in the half and Harrington converted from 26 on the first play after the 2-minute timeout. But Houston found the end zone when Chriss teamed with Amare Thomas for a 64-yard touchdown connection 1:27 before halftime. Bellenfant made it 28-11 on a 29-yard field goal at the 7:44 mark of the third quarter and Williams tacked on the final score with a 1-yard scoring run with 11:34 remaining in the game. –Field Level Media
