TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — AJ McCarron passed for 258 yards and threw a 30-yard touchdown to DeAndrew White in the fourth quarter to lift No. 1 University of Alabama to a 31-6 victory over Colorado State Saturday. No. 4 Ohio State trounced Florida A&M 76-0 for its most lopsided win since 1935, while NO. 5 Stanford defeated No. 23 Arizona State 42-28. Kenyan Drake set up one touchdown for Alabama with a blocked punt returned 15 yards by Dillon Lee and scored on a 3-yard touchdown run for the Crimson Tide (3-0), who led 17-6 heading to the fourth. Alabama managed only one offensive touchdown and no third-down conversions in the first three quarters a week after winning a 49-42 shootout over Texas A&M. Kenny Guiton again starred in place of Braxton Miller for Ohio State, setting a school record with six touchdown passes — all in the first. Ohio State (4-0) needed a total of four offensive plays and 46 seconds to go up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and never looked back. It was an epic mismatch between a team with national-title aspirations and a Football Championship Subdivision member getting a $900,000 guarantee. FAMU (1-3), which suffered its worst loss ever, trailed 48-0 before picking up its initial first down in the second quarter. Stanford running back Tyler Gaffney ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns, and Anthony Wilkerson added 68 yards and another score for a victory over Arizona State in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes in Louisville's 72-0 victory over Florida International, while Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston completed 10 of 19 passes in a 54-6 win over Bethune-Cookman.
