Looks like it may be a long day for billy.p. Sorry.

Even longer. Auburn losing 48-34, weather delay with 6+ minutes to go. MS has rushed for 440 yards with 3 players >100! Otoh, Auburn has rushed for <300 yards, and Tank Bigsby has a game-leading 179.
Edit: ESPN did not go back to the game after the delay. How disrespectful! No matter, 48-34.

On a lighter note, it's a beautiful fall day in Durham, and UNC has a good opportunity to assure a successful season by beating Dook at their house and becoming bowl-eligible. Or they could find creative ways to blow it. We'll see.

The U is so far off to a good start.

Go Vols!
Go Terps!
Go Huskies!

But do we get any of those games here? Except for TN-AL, nooooo!
TN up 21-7 late in the 1st. Sweet!
We do get Iowa State/Texas and Oklahoma State/TCU, so I guess we shouldn't whine.

Seriously? I'm seeing that Maryland @Indiana is on ESPN2. 7-3 early .
14-3 early 2nd.
Then, @Washington vs Arizona is on the Pac-12 Network. You don't get that?

Congrats on Miami 20, @Virginia Tech 14.

Also:
@(5) Michigan shamed (10) Penn State 41-17. I'm no Michigan fan, but I'm not crying for PSU. Michigan may even move into a playoff spot.
Unranked @Oklahoma finally came alive and knocked (19) Kansas out of the Top 25. 52-42!

Now I'm hearing Mr Prime Time Neon Deion is under consideration.
I may have to become a bammer.

Because he attended Florida State? Perfectly good reason to me.

He's doing pretty good at Jackson State, 16-5.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deion_Sanders

I don't believe you grow up with his level of bragging, showmanship and entitled attitude without it sticking....

Aha, I stumbled on the real reason.

... Sanders made an interception with 5 seconds left to seal Florida State's 13–7 win over Auburn in the 1989 Sugar Bowl, during the 1988 postseason....

That was a good play, but it came immediately after one that wasn't.

Edit: my feelings about deion long predate that Sugar Bowl.
I've never liked people who give themselves I'm the greatest nicknames.

Interestingly, the internets have no info about him stealing a necklace from a South Florida jewelry store.

Miami (-8.5) > @Virginia Tech, TV: ESPN3 , Go O Really
Nice.

3:30 PM EDT
Maryland (-11.5) > @Indiana, TV: ESN2, STOMP 'EM TERPS!
Phew, 38-33. QB Taulia Tagovailoa having a stellar game, goes out with a knee injury in the 4th. Redshirt freshman Billy Edwards comes in, out-rushes the entire IN team's game total, guides MD to 2 TDs!
@(6) Tennessee 5-0 > (3) Alabama 6-0 (-8.5), TV: CBS
Bama missed a near-walkoff 50-yard field goal. TN made a walkoff 40-yard field goal. 52-49! Fan garb turned the entire field orange. TN moves into playoff position, will AL recover?

4:00 PM EDT
Wisconsin (-7) > @Michigan State, TV: Fox
Awww, 28-34 in 2OT.

5:30 PM EDT
@Washington (-14.5) > Arizona, TV: Pac-12 Network , Go Lady O
Cool, leading 28-14 in the early 3rd.

7:30 PM EDT
@Florida State > (4) Clemson (-4.5) TV: ABC
Opps, brain fart, I forgot about the chant. FSU leading 7-0, but I'm changing to no preference and am changing the channel.

Also:
Gardner-Webb 20, @Liberty (-24.5) 21. Oooh, so close.
Arkansas 52, BYU (-1) 35. Pooor Mormons.
(8) Oklahoma State 40 @(13) TCU (-5.5) 43 2OT.
No love for TCU here, but great to see Oklahoma State booted from the Top 10.
(15) North Carolina State 9 @(18) Syracuse (-3) 24.
Too bad for 5-2 NCSU, but Syracuse is 6-0!

Huskies are up 35-24 late in the 3rd.
Edit: 49-39!

Who are these guys and why are they wearing Carolina uniforms?

Overall, it was a very nice day for football.

San Diego State bye, Miami, TERPS!, Bama loss, Huskies, Heels! O Really is 5 for 5.

GO:

5:30 PM EDT

Yes! 5-2

7:30 PM EDT
@Florida State > (4) Clemson (-4.5) TV: ABC
@East Carolina (-6) > Memphis, TV: ESPNU
Memphis forced OT with a TD with 19 seconds left, ut-oh. I didn't know that 3OT switches to just 2 point attempts rather than starting at the 25. Not sure that I like it. Anyhow, ECU 47-45 in 4OT.

8:00 PM EDT
North Carolina 5-1 (-7) > @Duke 4-2, TV: ACCN, Go O Really
Wow, a win with 16 seconds left!!! Barely in bounds, phew, 38-35.
(7) USC 6-0 > @(20) Utah (-3.5 ), TV: Fox
Crap, Utah wins on a daring 2 point try with 0:48 left.

3-1, 6-3 on the day so far.

Also:
Stanford 16, @Notre Dame 14. Yippie. I didn't bother picking it since Notre Dame was favored by 16.5.

I absolutely agree - even though if it hadn't been for a couple of bad breaks, we almost beat the #9 team. If Blufield had started the year with our better qb, rather than wait until after t.j. blew the first 3 games, we maybe might coulda won a couple more.

The moron even pulled Robbie tonight and put t.j. in for yet another lost series.

Send him back to Boise

"12:41 PM" - To be fair, she posted when it was 0-21. Impressive for WDE to make it at all competitive (24-28, 34-41) after that start.

Big child Jermaine Burton smacked at least one female Tennessee fan in the head as he left the field.
She tried to jump out of his way, so he reaches out and pops her.

Since you mention bad Burton, this was cool:

Bama missed a near-walkoff 50-yard field goal. TN made a walkoff 40-yard field goal. 52-49! Fan garb turned the entire field orange. TN moves into playoff position, will AL recover?

Lots more pics, including game shots and a smattering of loser Saban faces.

SEC issues Tennessee hefty fine after fans storm field to celebrate win over Alabama

... Tennessee’s will be $100,000 as it is the team’s second offense under the league’s current access to competition area policy. Tennessee last paid a $50,000 fine for a violation following a basketball game against Florida in 2006....

Seriously? The counter ought to rest after a decade or less. The 2020 undergrads were 2-6 years old.
