There were numerous explosive plays by Alabama that Texas A&M needed an air-raid shelter. We experienced the development of the next generation of receiver at Bama. John Metchie III was born in Taiwan and moved Ghana before age 6. He attended high school in Canada and captured 5 passes Saturday for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Mac Jones tied a career-high with 4 touchdown passes. Nick Saban won his 20th video game against a former assistant without a loss.

The original Stetson Bennett was a sharecropper who ran a little moonshine. Generations later, Stetson Bennett IV discovers himself the not likely quarterback starter at Georgia. The former walk-on tossed for 240 backyards, and Georgias D did the rest in a smothering 27-6 win over Auburn. The only 2 SEC beginning quarterbacks without an interception fulfill today– Bennett and Tennessees Jarrett Guarantano.

The Gators held the ball for less than 24 minutes and ran only 53 plays. 38 of those plays were involved in the 6 scoring drives that permitted Florida a 38-24 win over South Carolina. With 4 goal passes, Kyle Trask now has 10 on the season. Kyle Pitts has made it 6 goal captures on the season with 2 more versus the Gamecocks. Will the defense do enough to make Florida a real competitor?

The Canes are amping up for what may be the ACC video game of the year at Clemson. Miami has actually split the last three conferences going back to 2004, but Clemson has dominated recently winning the last 2, including the 2017 ACC Championship Game (38-3). Miami hasnt scored a goal against Clemson given that 2010.

Given that last playing Sept. 19, Notre Dame has actually suffered a rash of COVID-19 positives. Time to get back to football this week against Florida State.

The Cowboys are unexpectedly the Big 12s best group, mainly due to the fact that theyre the Big 12s only unbeaten group. Hubbard is No. 2 in Big 12 rushing but essentially splitting time with No. 3 rusher L.T Brown.

Tennessee.
The countrys second-longest winning streak reached eight video games with a regular 35-12 win over Missouri. Jeremy Pruitt has achieved an admirable balance. Through 2 video games, the Vols have run 84 times and tossed 55 times. For a contrast, consider the early Alabama teams under Saban. Tennessee got back at more physical with the launching of transfer offending lineman Cade Mays.

The plucky Wildcats broke it open late versus Texas Tech when Deuce Vaughn (19 touches, 194 total backyards) caught a 70-yard goal pass with 1:45 delegated keep K-State undefeated in the Big 12. After three games, K-State is +7 in turnover margin, tied with UCF for the national lead. The Wildcats are one of only five groups not to dedicate a turnover.

LSU.
1. All that skill and all that anger combined for an unhealthy stew for Vanderbilt. This was more like it for LSU after the loss to Mississippi State. The Tigers leapt on Vandy early, never ever trailing in a 41-7 win. Myles Brennan was sacked 7 times the previous week by the Bulldogs. He rebounded to toss four goal passes versus the Commodores.

Zach Wilson and the Cougars are genuine. In a 45-14 win over Louisiana Tech, Wilson completed his first 12 passes and accounted for 5 touchdowns. The 24 points allowed are the least in BYUs first 3 video games considering that 1952. The shame of it is BYU is in a sort a football limbo. It isnt thought about Power Five. The Cougars definitely arent Group of Five. They do not have automatic New Years Six entry. Tricky good game this week versus UTSA.

They missed out on Chris Naggar striking a 43-yard field objective with 9 seconds to play to beat Memphis, 30-27. ESPN reported Reggie Roberson Jr. was the very first receiver in 25 backyards to have at least 240 getting yards with 5 catches or less (243 lawns, two touchdowns).

1. That stunk. The Tigers were held without a goal in the Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry for the very first time given that 2012. The 27-6 outcome at Georgia no doubt will stir talk of Gus Malzahn taking control of play-calling duties. Georgia has won 4 in a row and 7 of the last 8 in the series.

If you believe Iowa State has less talent than Oklahoma then the only conclusion was apparent Saturday night: Matt Campbell coached the trousers off Lincoln Riley. The Cyclones returned a kickoff to establish the game-tying rating in the 4th quarter. A tight end tossed a pass to a tight end. Breece Hall continues to be the Big 12s leading rush. All of it amounted to a 37-30 upset of the Sooners.

That giant whoosh you heard after TCUs 33-31 win was the air going out of the Red River Rivalry. The last time Alabama lost as a ranked team to an unranked team under Nick Saban was 2007, his first season.

There were three first-quarter turnovers. The Golden Hurricane were quickly down 16-0 midway through the very first quarter, then they stormed back at UCF for their very first win over a ranked group in a decade. There were 16 explosive plays by the Hurricane (runs or passes of at least 15 yards). UCF fell for the fourth straight time to Tulsa.

UCF.
A harsh loss to Tulsa likely takes the Knights out of College Football Playoff– and maybe even New Years Six– consideration. What was so disturbing in a 34-26 loss was that the Knights had the game totally under control. The Hurricane returned to outscore the hosts 22-3 in the 2nd half. The loss ended a 21-game home winning streak, second-longest in the country. Hey, an AAC title is still a possibility. Thats not so bad, is it?

Oklahoma.
The Red River Rivalry may be combated at 20 rates with squirt weapons. Which coach will have the most press on them as Oklahoma and Texas come in a combined 2-3 record? The Sooners blew another lead Saturday, this time at Iowa State. The Cyclones averaged 7.4 yards, and Spencer Rattler tossed a crippling late interception.

The Hokies were missing 21 gamers and two coaches due to injuries and COVID-19. It took a Kansas graduate transfer, Khalil Herbert, to make it through Duke, 38-31. That wanted being down 23 players and two coaches in the opener against NC State. Justin Fuente need to be getting coach of the year factor to consider. Herbert hurried for 208 yards and two goals. Toss in an 83-yard kickoff return, and Herbert opted for 358 overall backyards.

The Razorbacks won their very first SEC video game considering that 2017.
For years Texas stiff-armed any TCU interest in the Big 12. Why, the Horns argued, should we give TCU access to the very best talent in the state? 9 years later, the Horned Frogs dont exactly tidy up on the Texas recruiting trail. Texas does. Still, Gary Patterson has now beaten the Horns for the seventh time in nine games in the Big 12.
