Greene tied Eric Zeier's school record with 67 touchdown passes and matched Peyton Manning for the most victories (39) by a starting QB in NCAA Division I-A history.
No. 11 Tennessee 43, S Carolina 29
In Columbia, South Carolina, Erik Ainge threw three touchdown passes as Tennessee overcame early offensive problems to win its 12th straight over South Carolina.
Cedric Houston added a career-high 190 yards rushing and a TD as the Vols (7-1, 5-1 SEC) rolled past the Gamecocks (5-3, 3-3).
No. 15 W Virginia 35, Rutgers 30
In Piscataway, New Jersey, Chris Henry caught a 39-yard scoring pass and set up another touchdown with a long catch before being kicked out of the game.
Rasheed Marshall threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Moutaineers (7-1, 3-0 Big East) beat Rutgers (4-4, 1-3) for the 10th straight time. Ryan Hart threw three touchdown passes for Rutgers, which made the game interesting by scoring twice after Henry was ejected.
Northwestern 13, Purdue 10
In Evanston, Illinois, Noah Herron ran 3 yards for a touchdown with 38 seconds left to lift Northwestern (4-4, 3-2 Big Ten) to its second victory over a top 25 team this year.
Purdue (5-3, 2-3) had a final chance, but Taylor Stubblefield couldn't hold on to a 40-yard-long pass into the end zone as time expired. The pass came from backup quarterback Brandon Kirsch, who replaced one-time Heisman Trophy favorite Kyle Orton at the end of the third quarter.
It was the third straight loss for Purdue, which started the season 5-0. Orton put up gaudy numbers in those five wins. But he was uninspiring in back-to-back losses to Wisconsin and Michigan, and downright blah against the Wildcats -- in part because of a left hip injury. He was pulled for Kirsch after throwing his fifth interception of the year. Orton also had a fumble in the first quarter that set up Northwestern's first score.
No. 23 Iowa 23, Illinois 13
In Champaign, Illinois, Drew Tate threw a pair of 19-yard touchdown passes to Ed Hinkel and added a 5-yard run for a score, sending the Illini to their 14th straight Big Ten loss.
Tate's run capped a 16-point third quarter that helped break open a 7-7 game for the Hawkeyes (6-2, 4-1). He finished 24-of-34 for 243 yards and had one interception. Hinkel caught five passes for 108 yards. Illinois (2-7, 0-6) was held to a mere 58 yards rushing and dropped its sixth consecutive game.
Indiana 30, No. 24 Minnesota 21
In Bloomington, Indiana, Will Lumpkin returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown and Matt LoVecchio threw for two scores as the Hoosiers scored 23 unanswered points for the upset.
The victory ended Indiana's five-game losing streak. It marked the first time since 1987 that Indiana (3-5, 1-4 Big Ten) has beaten two ranked teams in the same season and was the Hoosiers' seventh straight win over Minnesota in Bloomington. Indiana's last win before Saturday was at then No. 24 Oregon.
Minnesota (6-3, 3-3) lost for the third time in four weeks. The nation's No. 3 rushing team was held to 169 yards, more than 100 yards below its season average.
