Yes, Baylor was lucky on a few Tech drops, and they had some bone-headed missed coverage plays, but overall I was very pleased with the defense. Southern California (91) and Alabama (73) round out the top five.

Chris Farley struck comedic gold with his “Fat Guy in a Little Coat” ditty in the cinematic classic “Tommy Boy”. “If you have any hair, it’s blowing backwards and the game is screaming the whole time”. Indiana has randomly given Ohio State fits in the recent past in spite of losing 20 straight.
The Spartans have started quickly and snarled in the second half of a several games, including this past Saturday at home against Purdue. Kansas deserves its own special sentence as the Jayhawks are the not-so-proud owners of the longest losing streak amongst Power Five conference members at seven straight.
Jordan Thomas intercepted a pass on the next drive to further put the game away against the Mountaineers. Johnson had “just” 324 in Week 5. Against Texas, the TCU defense we’ve come to know and respect stepped onto the turf at Amon G. Carter Stadium, holding Texas to 3.96 yards per play while not allowing a point until the final six minutes of the game.
The Gators didn’t look like much getting to 4-0 with close wins against East Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee. He also led the FBS in 70-yard runs (three) and 60-yard runs (four).
The Rockets have ridden a victory against Arkansas to their first Top 25 appearance since 2012.
K-State has had eight players make their first-career starts in 2015, including a combined six freshmen or sophomores.
Jordan Willis has 6.5 TFLs, including 3.5 in the win over LA Tech to rank second in the Big 12, while Travis Britz has 4.0 and Elijah Lee and Marquel Bryant have 3.0.
It will mark just the fourth top-two opponent for K-State in a home game under Bill Snyder and the Cats are 0-3 in those games.
Their offense is averaging 34 points per game this season, but with a veteran front line one would expect more. The individual he’s tied with is his father, Brian Treggs, who played for the Bears from 1988-91. NIU and Hawaii each held Elliott to less than 5 yards per carry, and the Buckeyes only scored 26 points per game across those two outings. Baylor and Navy had both entered Week 5 without having one returned against them.
Jones is a blue-chip quarterback, but he hasn’t always played like it this season. Also, when you consider the huge rivalry between these teams, you know the Wolverines would love nothing more than to beat the Buckeyes and destroy their hopes and dreams.

At his current pace, Silmon will end the regular season with 780 rushing yards, which would break the school’s freshman record. BC allowed 228 in a 9-7 loss to Duke. That tall trio consists of Florida State, LSU and Penn State. It wasn’t pretty until Saturday’s romp past Mississippi, but McElwain has done a tremendous job through the first five games of his debut season.
