11) Ole Miss 52, Arkansas 51:
? Hogs scored TD at 0:00 to make score 52-51; they went for 2 points and the win.
? To me, this was such a terrific game; you go to OT and the added TV exposure, which should benefit your recruiting. STAY ON TV!!!! Free advertising.
? Been long time since I saw a game where both team ran for 300+ yards.
? Total yardage was 676-611, Arkansas; Hogs had 38 first downs. Thirty. Eight.
The two offensive coordinators in this game, Kendal Briles and Jeff Lebby, are brothers-in-law.
10) Wake Forest 40, Syracuse 37 OT:
? Wake Forest is 6-0 for first time since 1944.
? Syracuse led 21-10 in second quarter.
? Deacons? WR Perry caught three passes for 137 yards, all TD?s, one in OT.
? Syracuse ran ball for 354 yards, outgained Wake 514-426.
9) Utah 42, USC 26:
? If USC?s athletic director doesn?t have Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson on top of his list for the Trojans? head coaching job, then he is committing malpractice. Wake Forest is smallest of all the Power 5 colleges; very tough place to win- Wake is 40-27 the last six seasons- they were 21-40 the five years before that.
? Firing Clay Helton in September made a rich donor(s) happy, but it was stupid.

6) Iowa 23, Penn State 20:

? Nittany Lions? backup QB was 7-21 for 34 yards, two INT?s.
? Iowa outscored PSU 13-0 over final 16:36 of the game.
5) Kentucky 42, LSU 21:
? Kentucky is 6-0 for first time since 1950.
? SEC Network did this game; Jordan Rodgers is a very good analyst- he is also Aaron Rodgers? brother, who played QB at Vanderbilt.
The best TV teams are like two friends sitting there watching the game, having a beer, and we get to eavesdrop on them. Thats what this game was like; Rodgers and Tom Hart.
They were talking openly on the air about LSU coach Ed Orgeron being on the hot seat now; he won the national title when he had Joe Burrow at QB two years ago, but now they?re 8-8 since Burrow went to the NFL, and 8-8 doesn?t cut it in Baton Rouge.
There is a book out there called Meat Market, about recruiting in college football and it focuses on when Orgeron was coach at Ole Miss. If you like college football, read that book, and make your own judgements; I won?t say another word about it.
