Southern Miss at Miami (15) - Canes Overcome Slow Start to Stay Undefeated

Miami was a four-touchdown favorite in this game, but you wouldn’t know it just by watching the first half of the game. The Canes only led by a field goal at halftime, but pulled away in the second half thanks to a touchdown pass from quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, a touchdown run from Thaddius Franklin Jr., and a pair of field goals from kicker Andres Borregales.

Final- Southern Miss 7, Miami 30

The Trojans have scored 105 points in just two games, making them the favorites thus far in the Pac-12.

Georgia Southern at Nebraska - Scott Frost’s Gets Fired

Just when you thought Scott Frost’s tenure at Nebraska couldn’t get any worse, the Huskers find a way to prove us wrong. Georgia Southern prevails in a shootout in Lincoln thanks to a big game from senior quarterback Kyle Vantrease. Chants of “Fire Frost” were heard from the Nebraska student section following the upset. The administration listened and relieved Frost of his duties.

Baylor (9) at BYU (21) - Cougars Rally in 2OT Win
