Todd Gurley Styles All Over The Tennessee Defense
Tennessee did a respectable job of hanging with Georgia today, before succumbing in a 35-32 defeat. Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley, however, could hardly be contained.

Middle School Football Team Scores On "The Ugly Kardashian" Play
Lewis and Clark Middle School owned Thomas Jefferson Middle with this trick play.

Officials Botch Blocked Punt In UTEP-KSU, Spend 12 Minutes Not Fixing
This is one of the more bizarre plays you'll see today. Kansas State blocked its second UTEP punt of the first quarter, only to see the entire play called back due to an inadvertent whistle. And it took 12 minutes—12 minutes!—for officials to realize and then verify that they screwed up....
Today's College Football Viewing Schedule
Recommended games are bolded, and today, those are few and far between. I feel like I've even been generous with my bolding.
