It had been 95 years since the teams last played.
No. 15 Auburn beat FCS Mercer on Saturday, 24-10. This wasn’t notable in any modern way, other than that Mercer at one point had the ball in the fourth quarter.
An upset loss to NIU will do that.
Saturday was not a great day for Nebraska football. Quarterback Tanner Lee threw not one, but two pick-sixes, and the Cornhuskers lost to Northern Illinois.
Here’s what the hell happened and how a bunch of people responded to it.
And that’s perfectly reflective of how this team is.
Most of the way through two games, the Florida Gators had scored three touchdowns this season. Florida’s offense had scored literally none of them.
The right call? Yeah. Dumb? Also yeah.
Tennessee running back John Kelly ran home a 34-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter at Florida on Saturday, cutting a Volunteer deficit to 13-10.
It’s scientifically impossible for the Gators’ offense to score.
Through the better part of two games, the Florida Gators don’t have an offensive touchdown in 2017. Their defense has three. Because the end zone is actually lava to Florida offensive players...
Wyd, Vols?
Even against a stout defense, one would think that points are a near certainty when you’re three feet from the end zone. That is not the case when you’re Tennessee, apparently.
...A Heisman-winning quarterback faces a defense that eats passers alive.
It’s time for the can’s day in the sun.
Tennessee has a big trash can that it carries on its sideline. It says “Team 121” on it. Per ESPN’s Maria Taylor, the bucket is meant for Tennessee players to dunk footballs into it after they get takeaways on defense.

With Week 2 of the NFL season upon us, we take a look at some of the best values to be found on Draftkings and FanDuel, and some players worth fading.
The Bruins have to be more consistent.
The Jim Mora era in Los Angeles has been one of fits and starts. The win over Texas A&M was a huge moment for the Bruins to open the season. The loss over Memphis in Week 3 was, uhh, not.
The idea was good. The execution fell a bit short.
I love it when football teams try gutsy things. I love it less when those things do not work, like this Memphis fake field goal attempt against UCLA on Saturday:
Memphis was up a field goal in the final three minutes...
As the Devils move to 3-0
Duke’s defense took over in the fourth quarter to seal a 34-20 win over Baylor, improving Duke’s mark to 3-0 and giving David Cutcliffe a birthday present.
...
The Tigers won a long game with lots of fireworks.
The Memphis Tigers upset No. 25 UCLA on Saturday, holding on in a 48-45 upset thriller. The teams went back and forth for along afternoon, but the Tigers’ defense made a fourth-down stop in the final minute to seal the Bruins’ fate.
