SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Marcel Reed escaped pressure to throw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nate Boerkircher with 13 seconds left, Randy Bond kicked the extra point and No. 16 Texas A&M beat No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40 on Saturday night.

Texas A&M (3-0) beat a Top 25 team on the road for the first time since knocking off then-No. 3 Auburn on Nov. 8, 2014. The Aggies had lost 13 straight road games to ranked opponents.

Notre Dame dropped to 0-2 after playing in the national title game last season. The Irish opened with a 24-27 loss at No. 5 Miami on Aug. 31.

Bond made a 45-yard field goal to tie it at 34 with 9:06 left.

Notre Dame pushed ahead 40-34 with 2:53 to go on Jeremiyah Love’s 12-yard run. A botched snap on the extra point kept the lead at six.

Injury delay

Texas A&M safety Bryce Anderson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital after sustaining an injury with 58 seconds left in the first half.

Anderson gave a thumps-up sign as he was driven off the field and Texas A&M said he had all feeling in all his limbs.

He was injured making a tackle on tight end Eli Raridon, with fellow Aggies defensive back Will Lee III making contact with Anderson and Raridon.

Anderson was motionless on the field for about 10 minutes as medical staff attended to him.

Georgia 44, Tennessee 41, OT

When No. 6 Georgia clawed its way back from three deficits against No. 15 Tennessee on Saturday, coach Kirby Smart got the answer he was looking for.

“We feel our team has a certain identity,” Smart said after the Bulldogs’ overtime victory. “We’re not going to go down without a fight.”

Josh McCray scored on a 1-yard run in to cap the win. Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) beat Tennessee (2-1, 1-0) for the ninth straight time with Nate Frazier setting up the winning score with a 21-yard run on Georgia’s first snap in overtime.

Max Gilbert kicked a 42-yard field goal to give Tennessee a 41-38 edge in overtime. Tennessee had a chance to win in regulation, but Gilbert pushed a 43-yard field-goal attempt wide right just before the final whistle.

Georgia Tech 24, Clemson 21

Aidan Birr made a 55-yard field goal as time expired and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets upset the No. 12 Clemson Tigers.

With no timeouts left and the clock running with under 20 seconds to play, the Georgia Tech special teams squad sprinted onto the field and lined up.

And on fourth-and-3, Birr connected and the home crowd rushed the field. Birr’s kick tied for the longest field goal in Georgia Tech history.

North Carolina 41, Richmond 6

Gio Lopez threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, freshman Demon Juju June had 148 rushing yards and a touchdown, and North Carolina beat Richmond 41-6 on Saturday for its first home win of the Bill Belichick era.

Both passing touchdowns went to Jordan Shipp, who caught four passes for 52 yards.

“We just want to be smart, tough and dependable,” said Lopez, who went 10 of 18 for 119 yards and also threw an interception. “At the end of the day, we just need to execute our plays, run them the best that we can. When we do that, we score.”

Those characteristics could also be used to describe North Carolina’s defense. The Spiders committed three turnovers, including a fumble returned 62 yards for a Makai Gbayor touchdown, and had just 199 total yards.

Since the 48-14 loss to TCU, the Tar Heels (2-1) have allowed just nine points.

“It’s been an improvement every week,” Belichick said, “but there are still a lot of things that we can do better. We’ve tackled better, which is obviously a big help.”
