TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sporting Alert — College Football AP Top 25 scores from the games that were played in Week 2 on Saturday (10).
NO. 3 FLORIDA STATE 52, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN 8
Deondre Francois threw three touchdown passes in helping No. 3 Florida State beat a depleted Charleston Southern 52-8 at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
Francois, who passed for 419 yards in the win over Ole Miss on Monday night, went 25 of 32 on completed passes for 262 yards and an interception on Saturday.
Dalvin Cook ran for two scores and 83 yards on 11 carries for the Seminoles (2-0), while Travis Rudolph took seven catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns for Florida State, which scored 28 unanswered points in the first quarter.
Robert Mitchell passed for 142 yards and a touchdown and Kameron Brown took two catches for 80 yards and a score for the Charleston Southern Buccaneers (1-2), which played without 13 players, including 10 starters.
According to the school, the players missed the game to serve one-game suspensions for violating NCAA rules after they used financial aid intended for books to purchase different items.
NO. 2 CLEMSON 30, TROY 24
Star quarterback Deshaun Watson tossed three touchdown passes to three different receivers and No. 2 Clemson scraped home with an unconvincing 30-24 win over Troy.
Watson, who looked out of synch delivering the ball this weekend, was picked off two times, while completing 27 of 53 passes for 292 yards and ran for 55 more for the Tigers (2-0), who almost paid for an embarrassing early celebration punt-return mistake from Ray-Ray McCloud.
After doing all the hard work to get to the end zone, McCloud flick the ball just before he crosses the goal line and it cost the Tigers a touchdown.
Deon Cain, Hunter Renfrow and Christian Wilkins all took catches for touchdowns.
Brandon Silvers went 24 of 42 on completed passes for 233 yards and two touchdown, while throwing two interceptions as well for Troy in the defeat.
Deondre Douglas caught the ball 11 times for 93 yards and two TDs, while Jabir Frye rushed for a score for the Trojans (1-1).
