MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Carson Beck passed for 291 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Malachi Toney, and No. 16 Miami — looking to climb in the College Football Playoff rankings — rolled past N.C. State 41-7 on Saturday. Beck completed his final 13 throws to cap off a 21-for-27 day for the Hurricanes (8-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Miami now has five wins by at least 25 points this season, the most in a single year by the Hurricanes since the 2002 team had six such victories. Jakobe Thomas picked off two passes in the first quarter, running one of them back for a touchdown for Miami. And Girard Pringle Jr. more than doubled his season rushing total for the Hurricanes; he ran for 116 yards on Saturday, one more than he had in his first four games of the year. Miami took a 41-0 lead before substituting liberally in the fourth quarter on Senior Day, the last regular-season home game for the Hurricanes. Miami outgained N.C. State 581-149. CJ Bailey completed 17 of 30 passes for 120 yards for N.C. State (5-5, 2-4). The Wolfpack — with Miami playing reserves on defense at the time — got on the scoreboard on a rushing touchdown from Bailey with 2:18 left. That extended N.C. State’s streak of not getting shut out to 144 games; its last time being blanked was Oct. 4, 2014. Miami was 15th in this week’s CFP ranking, the highest of any ACC team. The takeaway N.C. State: The Wolfpack have now allowed 36 or more points in four consecutive games, the first time the program has done that since a four-game stretch late in the 2013 season against Duke, Boston College, East Carolina and Maryland. Miami: The Hurricanes finished their eight-game home schedule with 510,673 tickets distributed, a Miami single-season record. The average of 63,834 per game is the second-most in program history; the Hurricanes averaged 69,539 in the 2002 season. Up next N.C. State: Hosts Florida State on Friday. Miami: At Virginia Tech on Nov. 22. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here and here (AP News mobile app).

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Linebacker Jacob Rodriguez struck the Heisman Trophy pose again after the first offensive touchdown of his career, Reggie Virgil scored three times and No. 8 Texas Tech routed UCF 48-9 on Saturday. The Red Raiders (10-1, 7-1 Big 12, No. 6 CFP) stayed on track for a shot at their first Big 12 championship in their regular-season home finale, reaching 10 victories for the first time since going 11-2 under the late Mike Leach in 2008. The Golden Knights (4-6, 1-6) didn’t pick up a first down until they trailed 21-0 and dropped to 0-4 on the road, getting outscored 78-12 combined in the past two, a pair of trips to Texas. UCF had a season-low 52 yards rushing against the nation’s No. 1 run defense. Just as he did after a highlight-reel interception last week in a 29-7 win over BYU in a top-10 matchup, Rodriguez lifted one leg and extended an arm while surrounded by teammates after scoring on a 2-yard run in the wildcat. Rodriguez, who scored touchdowns on fumble recoveries this season and last against Oklahoma State, set up Vigil’s third TD for a 35-2 lead with his fourth interception this season. Virgil’s first two scores came on the first two carries of his career in the second quarter, a 5-yarder early and a 30-yard sprint that ended with him hopping and skipping into the end zone. Cameron Dickey also had two rushing TDs. Behren Morton threw for 149 yards and the 8-yard score to Virgil before getting replaced by Mitch Griffis late in the first half. Morton is playing through a leg injury, and original backup Will Hammond is out for the season with a knee injury. UCF’s first points came on a safety when Texas Tech left tackle Howard Sampson was called for holding in the end zone. Sampson also cost the Red Raiders a shot at a touchdown in the final seconds of the first half when he was flagged for taunting on a long completion to Caleb Douglas. Officials ruled that Douglas scored, but a replay review made it a 32-yard catch to the 2 with 11 seconds left. Sampson’s penalty forced Texas Tech to settle for a field goal and a 38-2 halftime lead. The takeaway UCF: Barring back-to-back victories to finish the regular season and a bowl victory, Scott Frost’s return as coach eight years after leading the Golden Knights to an undefeated season will end with the program’s third consecutive losing record. Texas Tech: All 10 of the Red Raiders’ wins are by at least 20 points, which is a school record. The victories have been by an average margin of 33.8 points. Up next UCF: The home finale is next Saturday against last-place Oklahoma State. Texas Tech: After an open week, the Red Raiders finish the regular season at West Virginia on Nov. 29. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
