College football Week 2 scores, games: Colorado vs. Nebraska, Tennessee vs. NC State and more
The first top-10 matchup of the season was a lopsided blowout, but we got our first major upset of the season Saturday.
No. 5 Notre Dame was stunned at home by Northern Illinois, 16-14. The Huskies drove down for a 35-yard field goal by Kanon Woodill with just over 30 seconds left in the game and then blocked the Irish’s own attempt to win it as time expired.
In the marquee showdown Saturday, No. 3 Texas left no doubt as to which team is the contender against No. 10 Michigan, blowing out the Wolverines 31-12 at the Big House.
Elsewhere, Kansas State survived against Tulane after a controversial finish and Oklahoma State rallied back to beat Arkansas in double overtime.
Below are the best games left. Scroll down to follow all the action live.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Nebraska -6.5 | Total: 55.5
The Huskers showed serious signs of life in Week 1 as true freshman QB Dylan Raiola had a fantastic college debut. Colorado had a hard time putting away North Dakota State, but got standout performances from two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The crowd in Lincoln will surely be raucous and the game should be a high-flying affair.
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Tennessee -9.5 | Total: 60.5
Both teams got wins over FCS opponents in Week 1 but they were drastically different. NC State struggled mightily against Western Carolina. Tennessee blitzed Chattanooga and quickly made it clear the Mocs had no chance.
Given Tennessee’s passing attack, NC State’s chances hinge on its defense playing much better than it did in Week 1.
Time: 10 p.m. ET | TV: Peacock | Line: Oregon -19.5 | Total: 61.5
Both teams had more trouble than expected against their opponents in Week 1. Boise State needed a 21-point run to put Georgia Southern away and Oregon eked out a 24-14 win over Idaho.
Ashton Jeanty went off for 267 yards and six touchdowns in the Broncos’ opener, and he’ll surely be the focus for Oregon’s defense. New Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel was 41-of-49 passing in Week 1 but averaged just 7.6 yards an attempt.

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is the newest partner in University MNPS — the district’s initiative to connect Academies of Nashville high school seniors with scholarship opportunities at leading colleges and universities — for having last-dollar full-tuition scholarships available to qualified district graduates.
“The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is one of the many highly respected institutions in our state, and now it is within reach for deserving MNPS graduates,” said Dr. Adrienne Battle, Superintendent of Nashville Public Schools. “This partnership is about more than a scholarship — it is about removing every barrier that stands between our students and their futures. The Board of Education and I are proud to welcome UT Knoxville into the University MNPS family and remain committed to building a no-cost pathway to college for every eligible Nashville student.”
Full-Tuition Scholarships
The partnership, which was announced at Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s State of Metro Address, highlights scholarships that cover tuition and mandatory fees available to eligible MNPS graduates admitted to UT Knoxville as part of UT’s Tri-Star Scholarship program. Tri-Star Scholarships include UT Promise, available to admitted students with family incomes below $75,000; the Flagship Scholarship, covering tuition and mandatory fees for admitted students attending MNPS flagship high schools, including Antioch, Cane Ridge, Glencliff, Maplewood, Pearl-Cohn, Stratford, and Whites Creek; and the Pledge Scholarship, covering tuition, mandatory fees, room and board for admitted students with family incomes of less than $40,000.
“We want all Tennessee students, including those in the state’s largest Metro area, to have the opportunity to study at the state’s flagship, land-grant university,” said UT Knoxville Chancellor Donde Plowman. “That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Metro Nashville Public Schools through the University MNPS program to ensure students have access to pathways like our Tri-Star Scholarship Program. At UT, we are committed to serving the state and developing Tennessee’s future leaders.”
Additional Supports for Students
Beyond financial assistance, the partnership brings UT’s broader Flagship model to Nashville students, including targeted advising, college readiness programming, and ongoing student supports designed to help students succeed in finding a path to college that works for them, and preparing them for success once they get there.
As part of its continued commitment to making college truly no-cost, MNPS is working closely with UT Knoxville and its broader postsecondary partners to explore sustainable pathways to cover housing and other remaining expenses, further expanding access and opportunity for Nashville’s students.
About University MNPS
University MNPS launched as a signature initiative under Dr. Battle to develop, strengthen, and expand partnerships between MNPS and colleges and universities in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. UT Knoxville joins a growing roster of partners that includes Belmont University, Fisk University, Lipscomb University, Nashville State Community College, TCAT Nashville, Tennessee State University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Vanderbilt University.
The district will be celebrating those students who received a scholarship through University MNPS at the Signing Day event on Saturday, May 2, at the Frist Art Museum starting at 9:30 a.m. Students and families can learn more about University MNPS scholarship opportunities on our website.
