Brandon Radcliff also ran for 118 yards. The Huskers got some help from OR coach Mark Helfrich, who got a two-point conversion on the game’s opening touchdown and then kept trying it but ended up 1-for-5.

“Our defense did an outstanding job stopping them and getting the ball back for our offense”, Petrino said. “Coming from him? I was amazed when they told me in the locker room”.

North Dakota State, which is 5-0 against Power Five teams since 2010, received votes during each season from 2010-14. North Dakota State isn’t just another Football Championship Subdivision team, though.

Knight also ran for 42 yards and several first downs in his first Southeastern Conference game for the Aggies (3-0, 1-0 SEC), who are off to another fast start. “We believe in Cam and we knew if we got the ball down there he could do it”, Stick said. Childs gained 101 yards on 10 carries.

My next stop was the UofL basketball team’s tailgating spot in the Bronze Lot to say hi to those guys before heading over to CardMarch which started at 9:45.

And No. 1 Alabama rallied to stay unbeaten with a 48-43 victory over rival No. 19 Ole Miss.

No. 23 MS and No. 25 Oklahoma both managed to stay in the rankings after dropping to 1-2 on the season. But the Tigers almost squandered a comfortable lead, giving up two touchdowns 4:10 and 3:30 left, the second after the Bulldogs (1-2) recovered an onside kick. In just 65 seconds, Alabama had turned a 21-point deficit into a manageable 24-17 game at halftime.

Lamar Jackson ran for four touchdowns and threw for another as No. 10 Louisville poured it on for a 63-20 victory over No. 2 Florida State on Saturday, the most points ever allowed by the Seminoles.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield has not been able to make up the difference, despite completing 65% of his passes for seven touchdowns against two interceptions. The only Seminole who had somewhat of an impact for the defense was junior linebacker Jacob Pugh, who recorded two tackles for loss and one sack.

Freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook orchestrated a late-game surge and junior kicker Rafael Gaglianone kicked three field goals as Wisconsin (2-0) scored the final 10 points.

Defensively, the front seven simply whipped the Seminoles (2-1, 0-1).

With his 304.3 passing yards and 154.7 rushing yards per game, along with 18 total touchdowns, Jackson is clearly leading the way for Louisville, which will suddenly be considered a playoff contender, but redshirt senior running back Brandon Radcliff makes Louisville’s offense even more unsafe.

Jackson added to his collection of highlights as he faked one defender and spun off another en route to his final touchdown run of 47 yards. With 314 total yards through the ground, Louisville’s offense flowed at a seamlessly unstoppable rate while leaving FSU gasping in the dust.

The true sophomore led No. 10 Louisville (4-0 overall, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) in rushing for the third week in a row with 146 yards and was 13 of 20 for 216 yards passing.

Carney, the star of Wake Forest’s 24-14 win at Duke last week, was promptly joined on the sidelines by QB Kendall Hinton.

FSU (2-1, 0-1 ACC) will get a chance to play better at South Florida next Saturday at noon. The Wolverines (3-0) were behind 21-7 in the first quarter and by four points in the opening minute of the second half. This year, we came 100 miles per hour to get our running game better. Liufau, who was shaken up in the first half, grabbed his right ankle after Ryan Glasgow hit him on the go-ahead score. Our assistant coaches have been working on this game for a long time – since last winter. Iowa was the first ranked team in that group.
