College Football Scores 2015: Week 10 Results and Top Stars for Top 25 Teams

Notre Dame was in a tricky position as it headed to Pittsburgh for its first game since landing the lofty No. 5 position in the season's first College Football Playoff poll.

The Fighting Irish are regularly in their opponents' sights when they head out on the road, and the Panthers had the firepower to put a crimp in the visitors' season. Running back Jordan Whitehead and wide receiver Tyler Boyd occupied Notre Dame's preparations. 

Notre Dame was more than up to the task as the Fighting Irish never trailed in registering a 42-30 victory. Quarterback DeShone Kizer threw five TD passes and ran for another to lead the way for the Irish.

The Panthers were able to fight back throughout the game as Whitehead ran for two touchdowns and Boyd caught three passes for 84 yards, but Notre Dame held the lead throughout the game.

Will Fuller dominated the Pittsburgh defense with seven catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns, while Torii Hunter Jr. also caught a TD pass.

The Fighting Irish also received a solid contribution on the ground from Josh Adams, who carried 20 times for 147 yards. Adams was thrust into action after starting running back C.J. Prosise left the game with a concussion and a shoulder injury, according to CBS Sports.

Stars of the Week

RB Justin Jackson, Northwestern

The No. 21 Northwestern Wildcats needed a late 35-yard field goal from Jack Mitchell to survive a tough battle with Penn State and emerge with a 23-21 victory.

Justin Jackson played a key role in the win, as he carried 28 times for 186 yards to give the Northwestern offense the push it needed. The Wildcats had built a 20-7 lead before Penn State came back to take a one-point lead, but Jackson's ability to carry the ball and grind out key first downs on the final drive helped set up Mitchell's game-winning field goal.

Northwestern's starting quarterback Clayton Thorson had to leave the game early with an injury, and backup Zack Oliver had to take his place. While Oliver did a serviceable job and threw a TD pass, the Wildcats needed a big game from Jackson and he came through with several big runs in the second half as the Wildcats earned the victory.

QB Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State 

While Trevone Boykin of TCU may be one of the leading quarterbacks in the nation and a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate, it was Mason Rudolph who stole the show in 14th-ranked Oklahoma State's 49-29 victory over eighth-ranked TCU.

Rudolph was razor sharp in his passing throughout the game, and the Cowboys quarterback completed 16-of-24 passes for 352 yards and five TDs in the victory. 

The 6'4", 220-pound quarterback from Rock Hill, South Carolina has thrown 17 TD passes this season for the Cowboys.

QB Jake Rudock, Michigan

Michigan quarterback Jake Rudock was razor sharp as the 17th-ranked Wolverine ran roughshod over Rutgers in a 49-16 victory at Michigan Stadium.

Rudock completed 18-of-25 passes for 337 yards with two touchdowns and did not throw an interception. Rudock also scored a touchdown on a four-yard run in the first quarter.

After the game, Rudock explained on the Big Ten Network broadcast how he was able to throw for a career-high in yardage. "I give credit to the big guys up front," Rudock said. "They gave me the time I needed to find my receivers and deliver the ball."
