While the Big Ten was still playing cupcakes, the SEC dominated the airwaves and the hearts of college football fans across the country (world?).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ole Miss<\/strong> 32 LSU <\/strong>24 – Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford and gets whupped by his old team. Do you think he might have a little twinge of regret? The Bayou Bengals came back from a 24-7 halftime deficit to tie it up in the 4th quarter. That was followed by a 13 play, 75 yards drive from the Rebel Black Shark Bears and a ballsy two-point conversion. LSU answered by driving 69 yards to the Ole Miss 6 before Sam Leavitt missed an open receiver on 3rd down and had a deflected pass intercepted on 4th down to clinch the win for OM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n LFK\u2019s old QB Trinidad Chambliss completed 33 of 48 pass attempts for 363 yards with two TDs and a pick. He also ran for a tiebreaking score in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n ** Say what you will about Ole Miss fans but after the game ended, they did NOT rush the field. They just partied in the stands like big boy football fans do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jim Dunaway<\/a> made an astute observation on x.com: \u201cI deep down believe, Ole Miss Fans NOT rushing the field after the win last night will sting Lane Kiffin\u2019s ego more than the loss. He saw Saban get the field rushed on him after every loss\u2026last night\u2026just another big win for Ole Miss<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Alabama<\/strong> 50 Florida State<\/strong> 36 – Once again, the Crimson Tide struggled out of the gate. Alabama had two 3-and-outs to start the game, but really it was highly conservative play-calling. It wasn\u2019t until Keelon Russell was unleashed that the Tide offense really took charge. The redshirt freshman turned in an excellent effort completing 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards and three scores. Bama scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions across the second and third quarters to erase a 21-6 deficit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After Alabama had just 27 rushing yards before the break, the Bama backs kept grinding and eventually wore down the Seminoles. Trae\u2019shawn Brown led the Tide with 86 rushing yards. Daniel Hill added 59 and EJ Crowell totaled 51. Russell had 56.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ashton Daniels burned the Alabama secondary with 377 passing yards and two TDs, which is a disturbing trend. Daniels also threw three interceptions (Red Morgan, Ivan Taylor, Bray Hubbard). It seems like the problem is bad schemes and missed assignments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Florida <\/strong>44 Auburn <\/strong>39 – Jadan Baugh rumbled for 162 yards and three touchdowns in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams and two new coaches. The Gators finished with a balanced 245 yards on the ground and 252 through the air. Aubie\u2019s Byrum Brown threw an interception on the third play from scrimmage that UF converted into a TD. Beyond that, he completed 20 of 35 passes for 271 yards, with three touchdowns and also ran for 65 yards and a score. However, the rest of the War Tigers ran for 37 yards. One of Brown\u2019s three passing scores was a Hail Mary with 24 seconds to play that made the score look a little tighter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kentucky <\/strong>31 Texas A&M<\/strong> 21 – Kenny Minchey threw two touchdown passes and CJ Baxter added two scoring runs as the Wildcats used a big third quarter to stun the Aggies in College Station. With the score even at seven at the half, UK scored touchdowns on three consecutive possessions to take a 28-7 advantage. TAMU would comeback with two 4th quarter TDs but it was not enough. A&M\u2019s Marcel Reed added two more picks to his spotty resume.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mississippi State<\/strong> 41 South Carolina<\/strong> 34 – Kamario Taylor led the Bullies back from down 16-0 in the first half outscoring the Gamecocks 27 to 11 in the second half. The MSU quarterback totaled 251 through the air and 33 on the ground. Fluff Bothwell added 115 rushing yards. In the third quarter, SC\u2019s LaNorris Sellers threw two interceptions on Carolina\u2019s side of the field that led to 10 MSU points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Vanderbilt <\/strong>35 NC State<\/strong> 31 – The Wolfpack had this game won. With six seconds left, deep in their own end on a 4th and 3, NCSU quarterback CJ Bailey was tasked with running out the clock. He backed his way into his own end zone as the Commodores defense came closer. But he held the ball too long and too loose and it was knocked out of his hands. A \u2018Dores defender pounced on the ball for the winning TD. Leading 31-28, a safety would have been just fine for the \u2018Pack. The odds of Vandy running a free kick back for a score is mighty slim. It was a astonishing move by Bailey who is in his third season as State\u2019s starter with 28 games under his belt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Vandy trailed the entire game until the shocking ending. The \u2019Dores came back from down 24-7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Oklahoma <\/strong>14 New Mexico<\/strong> 6 – John Mateer again looked rather shaky as the Sooners escaped an embarrassing loss. Much like the Michigan game, the Okie defense was solid, holding New Mexico to 185 total yards and 12 first downs. The Sooners offense only managed 14 first downs and 299 yards, 61 on the ground. Metter had two touchdown passes but also threw two passes into the loving arms of the opponent. Okie missed a 41 yard field goal and muffed a punt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Missouri <\/strong>27 Troy <\/strong>17 – The Trojans scored a 76-yd touchdown pass on the second play of the game and led 10-0 after one frame. In the second quarter, Troy fumbled and threw an interception inside their own 20. Both of those gaffes led to Mizzou touchdowns and a 24-17 halftime lead for UM. Mizz quarterback Austin Simmons struggled most of the way, completing 10 of 19 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown as the Ozark Tigers had to rally to defeat the Trojans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Texas <\/strong>30 UTSA <\/strong>6 – Maybe it was a bit of a hangover from last week\u2019s celebration that made Arch Manning complete only 17 of 33 passes (51.5%) for 164 yards. Had this been an SEC opponent, we could have seen a trap game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Georgia <\/strong>45 Arkansas <\/strong>17 – Despite the final score, this was a lopsided game. Gunner Stockton really wasn\u2019t asked to do much (10-of-13 passing for 147 yards with a touchdown) as the Bulldogs pounded the ball for 254 rushing yards. For Arky\u2019s part, the netted only 17 yards on the ground. The Hogs used two quarterbacks who were equally ineffective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tennessee <\/strong>42 Kennesaw <\/strong>9 – The only real story here is that star RB DeSean Bishop was slowed with an injury in the second quarter. With the All-SEC back on the sidelines, Daune Morris stepped up and amassed 116 yards on 14 carries. The sophomore also had 98 yards against Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Miami-FL<\/strong> 33 Wake Forest<\/strong> 20 – Normally I wouldn\u2019t bother with a game like this, but the three-touchdown underdog Demon Deacons made it an interesting game. If not for a ridiculous 13 flags thrown against Wake for 122 yards, the final outcome might have been a little closer. Six of those penalties were in the fourth quarter with WF trying to mount a comeback. The Deacs had a 27-yard punt return called back for holding that put them all the way back at their own 10-yard line. A few plays later, Wake was called for holding in the end zone that gave Miami a safety. After holding Miami to three and out on consecutive possessions, the DDs had another big punt return, this time for 59-yards, but again a holding penalty pushed Wake back to their own 35-yard line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Over their final six possessions, the Hurricanes gained 26 yards. The results of those drives were four punts, a blocked field goal, and the end of the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Southern Cal<\/strong> 42 Rutgers <\/strong>35- Another one that doesn\u2019t deserve the attention, but seeing how the Trojans barely beat one of the worst Power teams in football, it is worth bringing it to everyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n West Virginia<\/strong> 38 Virginia <\/strong>27 – UVa was looking like an ACC contender until they met the Mountaineers (3-0) in the Carolina Panthers\u2019 Stadium in Charlotte. With a 21-21 score in the 3rd quarter, WVU scored 17 straight points and cruised to the win. Michael Hawkins accounted for two passing scores and three on the ground. I\u2019ll bet Oklahoma wishes they had retained him instead of rolling with John Mateer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rich Rodriguez may have something cooking in Morgantown. We we\u2019ll probably find out this weekend as WVU hosts Oklahoma State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Texas Tech<\/strong> 28 Houston <\/strong>26 – This one was a back-and-forth affair that ended at the half yard line when the Cougars could not convert a two-point attempt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Clemson <\/strong>28 North Carolina<\/strong> 20 – The Orange Tigers rallied from a 14-point first-half deficit to hand Bill Belichick a gut-punch defeat. CU trailed 17-15 with 8:11 left in the game and UNC appeared to have the momentum with a second and goal at the Tigers 7 yard line when officials sent both teams to the locker room for lightning in the area. When play was resumed nearly 2 1\/2-hours later, Clemson stuffed two Tar Heels runs<\/a>, forcing a field goal. On the ensuing possession, Clemmy marched down the field and scored a go-ahead touchdown. UNC would turn the ball over on downs at their own 45, giving the O-Tigers a short field. That gift was converted into another score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Boise<\/strong> 38 South Dakota<\/strong> 24 – It took a late touchdown for the Smurfs to put the Coyotes away. This performance backs up the thought that Oregon is not so great.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Louisville<\/strong> 41 SMU <\/strong>31 – The Cardinals are making noise in the ACC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That yellow \u201cFLAG\u201d Miami indicator you see on the score bug was roughing the passer. Yet, no penalty for targeting on this 24-year old thug. Mohamed Toure is in his EIGHTH season of college football. He redshirted his freshman year at Rutgers in 2019, took the Mark Emmert free year in 2020, and sat out two entire seasons (2022 and 2024) due to tearing his ACL twice. To re-emphasize, 24 years olds should not be playing against teenagers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n At some point, doesn\u2019t being the villain get exhausting?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Aggies fans can\u2019t believe their eyes. What is the TAMU equivalent of Clemsoning?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n My gawrsh. Is he on the take?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I hope Ryan Grubb saw this play and realizes it doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So\u2026 John Mateer can\u2019t find an open receiver unless the crowd yells at him?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Following two pathetic efforts to begin the season, Dan Lanning thought he would impress everyone by running up the score on this winless FCS team. The Vikings (0-4) have won one game in their last 17 outings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Buffaloes were demolished in Northwestern\u2019s little temp stadium by the lake<\/a>, 41-7. It is the Wildcats\u2019 final game at this \u201cstadium\u201d. They move into their new arena<\/a> on Oct 2 vs Penn State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I suppose when a team is staring 0-3 in the face, they will do crazy things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Dookies went on to chop down the Trees 35-7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cGo Birds\u201d? But I thought Auburn wasn\u2019t the \u201cWar Eagles\u201d!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Oregon State coach JaMarcus Shephard<\/strong> had the fans hyped for the Beavers\u2019 first win of the season. THE OSU (1-2) topped FCS power Montana 52-17. The two losses came against Top 25 Texas Tech<\/strong> and Houston<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Remember former Nebraska starting QB Dylan Raiola who thinks he is Patrick Mahomes 2.0? The idiot transferred to Oregon and is stuck backing-up Dante Moore. He finally got his first playing time as a Duck in garbage time against Portland State. I have to ask both Raiola and Oregon: Was it worth the money? Oregon is probably dishing out a big chunk of change to pay for a back-up QB. For Raiola, you\u2019re not playing, bro! #LifeChoices<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n College GameDay<\/em> was in Oxford for the big Ole Miss-LSU kerfuffle with Morgan Freeman<\/strong> as the guest picker. Yes, Morgan Frickin\u2019 Freeman<\/em>. The greatest college football program of all time gets dirtbag Theo Vonn<\/strong> and Vanderbilt fan Nate Bertgatze<\/strong>. But Ole Miss got a Shawshank inmate, Miss Daisy\u2019s driver, the real <\/em>first black US President, Brad Pitt\u2019s partner, Mr. Clark, Clint Eastwood\u2019s BFF, God, and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ol\u2019 Red went 7-3 on his picks. Of note, Lainey Wilson<\/strong> went 5-0 in her picks as this year\u2019s first picker. Glen Powell<\/strong> was 7-2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [FUN FACT: Freeman did not get his first movie credit until he appeared in the Robert Redford<\/strong> prison movie \u201cBrubaker\u201d at age 43.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nick Saban<\/strong> didn\u2019t name Lane Kiffin<\/strong>, but pretty sure he was talking about him when he said \u201cwhy can\u2019t you win at where you are now?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pat McAfee<\/strong> again had another ringer for his field goal kicking thing. Zzzz. College GameDay<\/em> is headed to Knoxville this weekend for Tennessee vs. Texas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fox\u2019s Big Noon Kickoff<\/em> was in Wembley Stadium in London, England for \u2026 yawn \u2026 Arizona State-Kansas. I\u2019m not sure why they play these international games. The thing that makes college football so unique is that the games are played on college campuses and all the vibes that comes with that makes it what it is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This BNK <\/em>broadcast was much more tolerable because the midwest meatheads did not make the trip. Next up is snoozefest of Illinoise at anOhio State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SEC Nation<\/em> was in West Georgia for Florida-Aubie. German Twitter star Freddy<\/a> is back in the States. You may recall he was a sensation this summer as he followed the World Cup around America. He is back for some college football. After taking in Iowa-Iowa State last week, for some reason he chose this game as well. Probably because AU let him and his buddies be a part of the Tiger Walk as well as run on the field with the team<\/a>. The university stocked the hotel room – which I get the feeling was comped – with some swag and also included some extra rolls of toilet paper. Aw, too bad. They will have to use the TP in the normal way like sane people do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SECN will cover Ole Miss-Florida<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All three military academies had the week off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNOTHING TO ESS-EE-SEE HERE<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
