BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech’s John Love missed a 36-yard field goal as time expired, and Pittsburgh survived for a 35-33 victory over the Hokies. Pittsburgh quarterback Holden Geriner came off the bench to throw a touchdown pass, and Ja’Kyrian Turner added a rushing touchdown for the Panthers, who remain one of three unbeaten teams in the ACC. Ethan Grunkemeyer threw for a career-high 434 yards for the Hokies, but turned the ball over three times.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Caleb Komolafe rushed for a career-high 188 yards and a touchdown, and Northwestern routed Penn State 34-13 in the first game at the new Ryan Field. Led by Komolafe and Joseph Himon II, Northwestern set season highs with 413 yards rushing and 506 yards overall. Himon finished with a career-high 162 yards and two TDs on 10 carries. It was a memorable performance by the Wildcats in the debut of their fancy $875 million stadium. They led from start to finish while bouncing back from a tough 29-23 loss at No. 6 Indiana. Penn State dropped its second consecutive game in its first season under coach Matt Campbell.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Andrei Kuzmenko is changing his jersey number to 62 to honor his father Alexander, who died in a bear attack in Russia last week at age 62. Kuzmenko has returned to practice with the Penguins after attending his father’s funeral in Moscow. The 30-year-old signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Pittsburgh over the summer. He explained that his father was attacked by a bear while fishing in Siberia. Kuzmenko described his father’s death as a “big shock.” Kuzmenko, who used to wear No. 10, also noted that his mother was born in 1962.
