MESQUITE, Texas (AP) — Utah football player Aaron Lowe was remembered as an optimist, role model and friend at his funeral in Texas. Coach Kyle Whittingham announced to mourners the school would retire Lowe’s number and establish a scholarship in his name. Lowe’s coaches and teammates, Utah athletic staff and the university president took a chartered flight from Salt Lake City to attend the service in Lowe’s hometown of Mesquite. The 21-year-old Lowe was fatally shot Sept. 26 in Salt Lake City hours after a win over Washington State. Salt Lake police have made an arrest. A motive has not been disclosed.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona quarterback Jordan McCloud is out for the rest of the season after suffering right knee and ankle injuries against UCLA. Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch said McCloud is expected to have surgery this week. McCloud was injured in the fourth quarter of Arizona’s 34-16 loss to UCLA Saturday night when his leg got twisted up while he was getting sacked. A transfer from South Florida, McCloud started two games after beginning the season as the backup to Gunner Cruz and Will Plummer. The sophomore threw for 481 yards and two touchdowns in three games this season. Fisch said Cruz, who started the first two games of the season, will start against Colorado on Saturday.
UNDATED (AP) — Field goals are coming in bunches for Colorado State’s Cayden Camper. He kicked a school-record six in a 32-14 win over San Jose State. That’s the most in a Football Bowl Subdivision game in two years. Michigan State’s Kenneth Walker III had his second 200-yard game, going for 233 yards on 29 carries against Rutgers. Walker leads the nation with an average of 150 yards per game. Iowa became the fourth team since 2000 to intercept 16 passes through six games. Arizona State has won five straight Pac-12 games by double digits for the first time since 1996.
UNDATED (AP) — The No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press college football poll has been in the possession of just a few elite teams over the last six seasons. Alabama (63 times), Clemson (23), Ohio State (10) and LSU (eight) were the only teams to reach No. 1 from 2015 through Saturday. Georgia has now joined that group, reaching the top spot in the AP poll presented by Regions Bank for the first time since being preseason No. 1 in 2008. It has been 39 years since the Bulldogs were No. 1 in a regular-season poll. Preseason No. 1 Alabama slipped to fifth after becoming the first No. 1 to be upset by an unranked team since 2008. Reality Check thinks the Tide might have been cut too much slack.

The Bulldogs rise from No. 2 comes a day after preseason No. 1 Alabama was upset at Texas A&M. The defending national champion Crimson Tide slipped four spots to No. 5 after its first loss of the season. Iowa is up to No. 2, leading five Big Ten teams ranked in the top 10, a first for that conference.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Brittain Brown ran for 146 yards and a touchdown, Dorian Thompson-Robinson accounted for three touchdowns and UCLA extended Arizona’s school-record losing streak to 17 games with a 34-16 victory.

Thompson-Robinson was limited to 82 yards passing, but ran for two scores and threw for another. Arizona struggled in the red zone after moving the ball well against the Bruins and lost quarterback Jordan McCloud to a right knee injury in the fourth quarter.
