Former Steelers assistant and Cowboys head coach Chan Gailey seems to have something cooking at Georgia Tech. Even without top RB Tony Hollings (season-ending knee injury), the Yellow Jackets beat North Carolina, 21-13, as backup Ajenavi Eziemefe rushed for 136 yards and one TD to go to 4-1.

Bill Bishop, 56, color analyst for Northern Colorado football games and sports director at KFKA-AM, died after losing consciousness in the press box at Nottingham Field before yesterday's game.

David Macchi, Valparaiso, completed 18 of 32 passes for a school-record 434 yards and two TDs in a 54-43 loss to St. Joseph's, Ind.

Cincinnati's hot-handed QB Gino Guidugli posted the sixth 300-yard passing game of his career (312) in a 35-22 win vs. Temple. It ties the school record set by Greg Cook (1966-68). One difference: Guidugli has done it in 15 games.

Jeremy Conley's TD reception with nine seconds to play not only gave Duquesne a 35-28 win vs. Dayton, but it also set a school record for 245 yards receiving in a single game.

Rob Milanese became Penn's all-time leader in receiving yards (2,495) as the Quakers held off Lehigh, 24-21.

Air Force (4-0) is on something of crazy streak. The Falcons have now won three games in a row either in OT or the final minute of regulation after beating Utah, 30-26, on Chance Harridge's 20-yard TD pass with 17 seconds to play.

Correction/Clarification: A Sept. 29 college football report incorrectly stated that Jeremy Conley was Duquesne University's all-time leader in receptions, with 245. Instead, his receptions against Dayton on Sept. 28 set a school record for 245 yards receiving in a single game.
