Not even once have the Purple and Gold and the Maize and Blue swapped helmet paint on the gridiron.

If you’re trying to decide who is legitimate and who is not in the Southeastern Conference football divisional races, this weekend will help.
Fournette scored three touchdowns and went to 11 for the season – one more than he had last season. The Crimson Tide don’t allow that many yards in a game to begin with, 267 to be exact, but if Chubb can put on a performance similar to the ones we have been able to see all year, look for Chubb to jump to the top spot in this list.
A victory for Eastern Michigan would represent maybe the biggest win in school history. “There’s a very nice environment between the two schools”. Coach Les Miles certainly isn’t complaining about that. LSU’s Heisman contender did get to take most of the fourth quarter off, but he ended up touching the ball a whole heck of a lot more than I think anyone planned. “It is legitimately about five miles away”.
College football has benefited from the hard work of these kids. Eastern Michigan has had 16 players taken in the NFL Draft.
The Hurons had four straight winning seasons from 1986 through 1989, which was better than LSU could say.
Fournette’s remarkable three-game stretch sets him apart even from past Heisman winners Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson, but the LSU star said, “I would never compare myself to those guys”.
The Eagles are accustomed to playing major powers like LSU.
Eastern Michigan will come to Baton Rouge with a 1-3 record having fell to Army 58-36.
“No differently”, Creighton said when asked how he prepares his team this week. Before halftime, the Tigers have surrendered 2.96 yards per play (second behind Boston College’s 2.21) and just 11 opponent plays that went for at least 10 yards (tied for third).
It’s also a great opportunity to assess the team’s current weaknesses and see where they can improve for the rest of the season. “Our passing game can be as good as we want it to be”. “You’ve got to be sharp, and so it starts with us”. He is third in the country in receiving yards and is only a mere 56 yards behind the leading receiver, TCU receiver Josh Doctson.
The Buckeyes entered this season with the most talented quarterback stable in the country but the reality is that they are 5-0 in spite of poor play at the position. Although USC finally gets to use all 85 of their football scholarships, they may still be feeling the effects of a lack of scholarships from years past.
Creighton is aware of Tiger Stadium’s noise reputation, but he did not seem overly concerned as Eastern Michigan offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer has been installing multiple cadences and signals for his unit since the off-season. Yeah, we’re looking ahead. “That’s the main part of communication that you have to shore up first”. “If that’s the case, I just want you to know, we’ll call our starting lineup much differently”. “We didn’t stop the laughing that was going on in practice, so we have to pick it up this week”.

Creighton is approaching the game as Michigan would. He did not win the Heisman Trophy, but was drafted 15th overall by the San Diego Chargers. Past year they both finished with only one loss and they both got left out of the playoffs. There were quite a few drops, though, as he usually threw the ball accurately.
