High School Division. Ada's Bulldogs kept up their momentum in the Saturday night continuation of Friday night's game, biting the Columbus Grove Bulldogs 55-21. Ada's head coach, Mike Fell, had a 75-25 record at Columbus Grove earlier in his career.
Division III. Randolph Macon opened their newly renovated stadium with a 21-6 victory against Averett. Rhodes College, playing at home, overtook Washington U and forced their game into overtime. Rhodes kicked a field goal on their overtime possession, but Washingon committed penalties that made any scoring attempt impossible.
Trophy and Rivalry Games. Cincinnati, led by quarterback Munchie Legaux, dominated Pitt in the River City rivalry 34-10. Because Pitt is leaving the Big East for the ACC, this rivalry will end after this year, joining an illustrious list of ended rivalries like Texas vs. Texas A & M, Pitt vs. Penn State, and Missouri vs. Kansas. I guess that Cincinnati gets to keep the Paddlewheel Trophy. Utah State got a leg up on the Beehive Boot among Utah schools by squeaking past Utah in overtime 27-20. Iowa State smothered Iowa 9-6 to claim the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
Our Teams Victorious. Ohio State's quarterback, Braxton Miller, ran for three touchdowns and threw for a fourth as the # 14 Buckeyes rolled over Central Florida 31-16 in Columbus. #15 Virginia Tech pounded Austin Peay 42-7. Maryland built up a big lead against Temple and then held on for a 36-27 win. Zac Dysert of Ada completed more than 75% of his passes in leading Miami U. to a 30-14 win over Southern Illinois. Second-string QB Tommy Rees led #22 Notre Dame on a late fourth-quarter drive that finally overcame Purdue 20-17. #24 Florida trailed at halftime but stormed back to spoil the first SEC game for Texas A & M 20-17 at College Station. Taylor Kelley capably replaced Bronco rookie Brock Osweiler at QB and led Arizona State to a 45-14 romp over Illinois.
Division FCS. Richmond's Spiders stung Gardner Webb 41-8 in Richmond. William and Mary was unable to overcome both the rain and Lafayette, losing 17-14 at home. Northern Colorado overcame 148 yards of penalties and Mesa State of Colorado 40-3.
Sighs and Tears. Wake Forest scored a TD with about two minutes to go and held on to defeat North Carolina 28-27. A walk-on kicker for Sacramento State earned a scholarship by kicking a game-winning, last-second field goal to stun Colorado 30-28. (Will Colorado manage to win a game this season?) Georgia State got steamrolled by Tennessee 51-13. North Dakota State over Colorado State. Northwestern saved all its touchdowns for the fourth quarter and used a late Vandy fumble to humble the Commodores 23-13.
Oops. #8 Arkansas lost its lustful coach, Bobby Petrino, in the offseason to off field indiscretions, but they figured that they had scheduled a safe opponent in Louisiana Monroe. Arkansas took a big early lead, but Louisiana Monroe came back to take the game to overtime and then scored a touchdown on a broken play to upend Arkansas 34-31. UCLA's freshman quarterback, Brett Hundley, threw four TD passes, and the UCLA defense scored a safety en rout to puncturing the bubble of #16 Nebraska 36-30. Oregon State's aggressive defense stopped Heisman candidate Montee Ball of Wisconsin and dumped the #13 Badgers 10-7 at Corvallis. How rude!
Unhappy Valley. Virginia scored a late touchdown and needed four missed field goal attempts from Penn State to slip past the Nittany Lions 17-16.
Pentagon Papers. #19 Michigan got 426 yards of total offense and four touchdowns from quarterback Denard Robinson, but they needed all of it to hold off Air Force 31-25 in Ann Arbor. San Diego State blitzed Army.
Undefeated and Untied This Week. Peabody Conservatory, Emory, Ohio Northern.
