CORVALLIS, Ore. — Devontae Booker ran 19 yards for a touchdown in the second overtime to give No. 20 Utah a 29-23 victory over Oregon State on Thursday night.

Booker finished with 229 yards rushing and three touchdowns for Utah (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12), which has won all four of its road games this season.

Booker also ran for a 15-yard score in the first overtime to put the Utes in front 23-16. The Beavers (4-2, 1-2) answered with Sean Mannion’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Villamin on fourth down to force another period.

Trevor Romaine, whose 49-yard field goal as time expired in regulation tied the game at 16, attempted a 37-yard field goal that went wide right, giving the ball back to Utah for the game-winning drive.

Pittsburgh 21, Virginia Tech 16

PITTSBURGH — James Conner ran for 85 yards and two scores and Pittsburgh ended a three-game losing streak with a victory over Virginia Tech.

Quarterback Chad Voytik added a career-high 118 yards on the ground and hit Tyler Boyd for a 53-yard touchdown pass as the Panthers (4-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) took control early and held off a late rally by the Hokies.

Virginia Tech (4-3, 1-2) trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter but had the ball and a chance to take the lead in the final minutes. Michael Brewer’s fourth-down pass to Cam Phillips sailed high and the Panthers ran out the clock.
