PITTSBURGH 58, DUKE 55 BOX SCORE
Tom Savage tied an Atlantic Coast Conference record with six touchdown passes and Pittsburgh held on for a wild 58-55 win against Duke on Saturday. Savage threw for a career-high 424 yards on 23-of-33 passing with three scoring passes to freshman Tyler Boyd. Savage surpassed both of the major career highs he set for Rutgers in 2009 -- or, two transfers ago -- before halftime of this one while becoming the first ACC player to throw for six scores since Virginia's Dan Ellis and Florida State's Chris Weinke both did it on Nov. 13, 1999.

NEVADA 31, HAWAII 9 BOX SCORE
Brock Hekking had three sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception for the Wolf Pack to go along with two pass break ups and 2.5 tackles for loss against Hawaii on Saturday. His sack of Sean Schroeder with 10:25 left in the fourth quarter forced a fumble, which prompted Alex Bertrando's touchdown return to make it 31-9. Best known for his blonde mullet haircut, Hekking helped the Wolf Pack dominate the Rainbow Warriors.

IOWA 59, WESTERN MICHIGAN 3 BOX SCORE
Iowa's Kevonte Martin-Manley returned back-to-back punts for touchdowns -- 83 and 63 yards -- early in the second quarter as Iowa jumped out to a 38-3 halftime lead. Martin-Manley's new-found aggressiveness paid off with the best afternoon an Iowa returner has ever had. Martin-Manley beat roughly a half-dozen Broncos up the left sideline to put Iowa ahead 17-0. Western Michigan punter J. Schroeder then drilled a low liner to Martin-Manley, who caught it near the left hash marks, hit stride just after midfield and sprinted 63 yards into the end zone just 59 seconds later. Martin-Manley was just the third player in Big Ten history with two punt returns for TDs in the same game and the first in 30 years.
