PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Jalen Hurts racked up 439 scrimmage yards, became the first Oklahoma quarterback to pass for 200 yards and rush for 100 in the first half and directed the fifth-ranked Sooners to scores on their first six drives in a 48-14 rout of UCLA.

Hubbard ripped off touchdown runs of 75 and 30 yards in the first four minutes of the game. His first score came on the first play from scrimmage, 10 seconds into the game.

North Carolina State was limited to 97 yards of offense in the second half.

National Headlines

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Ronald Acuña Jr. ignited a four-run rally with the go-ahead, two-run double, as the NL East leading Atlanta Braves clinched a playoff berth with a 10-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Acuña Jr.’s double down the left-field line off of Nationals reliever Fernando Rodney added fuel to a dramatic seventh inning for the Braves, who reduced their magic number to four to clinch their 19th division title.

TORONTO (AP) _ James Paxton pitched five innings to win his ninth straight start, Brett Gardner homered twice and drove in five runs and the New York Yankees hit five homers in a 13-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Gleyber Torres and Luke Voit also homered for the Yankees, going back-to-back off right-hander Brock Stewart in the fifth, as the AL East leaders won for the 14th time in 19 games. The Yankees had 19 hits and extended their major league lead in homers this season to 285.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) _ Trevor Lawrence threw for three touchdowns and ran for another and top-ranked Clemson beat nemesis Syracuse 41-6. Clemson has won 18 straight games, a school record and the longest streak in the nation. Lawrence was forced to be a spectator a year ago when a hard hit to the helmet knocked him out in the second quarter of his first college start.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for a career-high 444 yards and tied his personal best with five touchdowns as the second-ranked Crimson Tide opened SEC play with a 47-23 victory over South Carolina on Saturday.
