Wild Weekend In College Football
What a wild weekend in college football as there were several great games and a few upsets were seen on Saturday.
Arkansas made the first major upset of the college football season look easy. With a swarming defense and unstoppable tailbacks, the Razorbacks knocked off No. 2 Auburn in a stunningly one-sided 27-10 victory Saturday that will rearrange the top of the rankings.
No. 5 Florida 23, LSU 10 Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes, including one on a play that could have came from the basketball coach Billy Donovan's playbook, and ran for a score to give the Gators a home victory over LSU.
Colt McCoy showed he could lead a comeback, the seventh-ranked Texas Longhorns proved they can win a big game without Vince Young, and the UT defense made a second-half statement in a 28-10 win over the turnover-plagued Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday.
Game officials started the clock with two seconds left and the Washington Huskies failed to get off a play, allowing third-ranked USC to escape with a 26-20 victory before a drained crowd of 90,282 at the Coliseum.
Out to show that its season-opening loss at Tennessee was a hayride hiccup, No. 16 Cal on Saturday capped its fifth straight dominating performance with a 45-24 win over No. 11 Oregon in front of a sellout crowd at raucous Memorial Stadium.
No. 13 Tennessee became just the second team to put up 50 points on Georgia between the hedges, coming from behind for a stunning 51-33 victory Saturday night that defied the norm in the defensive-minded Southeastern Conference.
