Jason White tied a school record by throwing for five touchdown passes as No. 1 Oklahoma beat Iowa State 53-7 in NCAA college football play on Saturday.
The Sooners ran up 613 yards in total offense in dominating Iowa State as they get ready for their showdown with arch-rival Texas next week.
White also threw for a career-best 393 yards and Mark Bradley returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to spark 5-0 Oklahoma to the convincing win.
Mark Clayton caught two of White's touchdown passes for Oklahoma on a day when only a few top-ranked teams saw action.
No. 4 Virginia Tech, the next highest ranked team to play, was too powerful for Rutgers, winning easily 48-22. Hokies quarterback Bryan Randall threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns as Virginia Tech beat Rutgers for the 11th straight time.
Iowa 30, Michigan 27
In Iowa City, Nathan Chandler threw two touchdown passes as Iowa, ranked No. 19 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll, upset Michigan 30-27, ranked 11.

This time Chandler was the difference, leading his team to a comeback win after trailing by 14 points in the early going.
Chandler was 17-of-34 for a career-high 195 yards for Iowa (5-1) Running back Fred Russell rushed for 110 yards on 26 carries.

Tailback LenDale White ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries to pace the offense, while QB Matt Leinart passed for 289 yards.
