This game was billed as the one that could decide the true challenger to Alabama for the SEC West. We were supposed to see two contenders slug it out on a "neutral" field in Arlington, Texas, and we were not disappointed. For three quarters, Arkansas and Texas A&M went up and down the field, punctuating long drives with explosive plays to make this an entertaining contest, even for those out there who weren't SEC football fans. While ...

Look, it wasn't even close, OK? LSU had a full 90 seconds to prepare its last play while officials fumbled around and figured out where to put the ball. The Tigers had one second left on the clock to get the snap off, score a touchdown, beat Auburn, possibly save the season and definitely save coach Les Miles for at least another week. One second. It was that defining moment in time you wait for. With all that ...

The No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies (4-0) justified the hype surrounding their College Football Playoff hopes on Saturday night with a 45-24 win over the No. 17 Arkansas Razorbacks (3-1) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.   Quarterback Trevor Knight set the tone for a high-powered Aggies offense with an epic dual-threat performance that included 225 yards and two touchdowns through the air as well as 158 yards and two scores on the ground.  Knight's steady rushing display buoyed an A&M rushing ...

Louisville Cardinals Lamar Jackson's incredible season continued Saturday against Marshall with his second seven-touchdown performance of the year. The Louisville quarterback had some resistance early but was still dominant in his team's 59-28 win over the Thundering Herd. Although it's still only September, he likely remains the Heisman Trophy favorite thanks to these statistics through four games. Mike Rutherford of Card Chronicle also reminds us that he hasn't even been playing full games: According to ESPN Stats & Info, ...

If you're a Mark Twain fan, you'll recognize the following quote, which was appropriate for both a school and division Saturday: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Yes, Ole Miss made a statement by blowing out Georgia 45-14—there's no question about that. It faced a big-name opponent that wasn't ranked in the Top Five, built a large lead and—unlike in losses to Florida State and Alabama—didn't allow a comeback. "This one will stand out," Rebels ...

The No. 7 Stanford Cardinal did just enough to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive Saturday night at the Rose Bowl when Ryan Burns hit JJ Arcega-Whiteside for a go-ahead touchdown with 24 seconds remaining to propel his team to a 22-13 win over the UCLA Bruins.  After Conrad Ukropina's extra point put the Cardinal up 16-13, Solomon Thomas recovered a fumble after a strip-sack by Joey Alfieri for a score to ice the Bruins as time expired. ESPN.com's ...

The Auburn Tigers came away with the 18-13 win over the LSU Tigers, but it didn't come without a little drama. With one second remaining, LSU's Danny Etling found D.J. Chark in the back of the end zone as time ran out. However, after review, the officials determined that the ball was snapped after the game clock had expired, sealing the Auburn victory.  That isn't why LSU lost this game, though. The Tigers had another disappointing ...

The LSU Tigers' second loss of the season came in devastating fashion after they thought they had scored the game-winning touchdown against the Auburn Tigers with no time remaining Saturday. Trailing 18-13 with the ball on Auburn's 10-yard line with 10 seconds remaining, quarterback Danny Etling completed a pass to Travin Dural for eight yards. LSU was called for an illegal-shift penalty, however, bringing the ball back to the 15-yard line with one second remaining. After rushing to the line ...

Week 4 featured less drama than the first three weeks, but a couple of big results still moved the needle. Besides, from a "Winner and Losers" perspective, lopsided games are just as good as close ones. Especially when they take place between ranked opponents—and they did this week in East Lansing, Michigan, and Oxford, Mississippi—they leave a trail of takeaways for both teams. Of particular note in Week 4 were big-name coaches who needed strong performances and failed ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee sophomore wide receiver Jauan Jennings wouldn't take the bait in the wake of the Volunteers' 38-28 win over Florida, electing to mostly keep his mouth shut after all the chatter the Gators have unleashed all week. His Vols did all the talking they needed to on the scoreboard Saturday, roaring back from a three-touchdown deficit to beat Florida with 38 unanswered second-half points at Neyland Stadium to dry 11 years of Volunteers' tears.  The ...
