This is remarkable.

Davidson rushed for 789 yards Saturday at San Diego -- the most ever by an FCS or FBS team in a single game -- and lost.

Despite the historically bad day on rush defense, San Diego won 56-52 to clinch the Pioneer Football League championship. It's the FCS school's eighth straight season with at least a share of the PFL title.

In the loss, Davidson had four players rush for at least 150 yards -- Wesley Dugger with 231 yards, Williams Wicks with 199, Tyler Phelps with 159 and Keylan Brown with 150. It was only the second time in FCS history a team had four 100-yard rushers, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Based on Oklahoma's performance against Okie State, OU will need a miracle to beat West Virginia.

That game was absolutely hilarious. My buddy and I kept cheering for Michigan State to get the ball back just to see how they would eff it up again.

Washington State and San Jose State have both rushed for fewer yards as a team this season.

Watched the OSU-OU game on Saturday. OSU has a pretty good running back by the name of Chuba Hubbard who is from Sherwood Park if you're looking for some local (Alberta) connection.

Oklahoma has a terrible defence but it's going to be hard to beat them unless a team can put up 50 points themselves. It's going to be interesting to see them play West Virginia. And arguably outside of Clemson, there's a line of thinking that OU might have the best chance to knock off Alabama. Yeah their defence doesn't stand a chance but then there probably isn't a defence anywhere else that can stop Alabama either. However there are very few teams with an offence like Oklahoma has and the scenario that could play out is a game where neither defence can stop the other side.

Army says hello.

As the Army game revealed, OU can potentially be beat simply by grinding the clock out, scoring a few touchdowns, and keeping OU's offense off of the field for most of the game.

There no need to rely on a high powered offense to beat Oklahoma. Just get 3 or 4 yards a time, march down the field slowly, and you can win.

Alabama is tied 10-10 at halftime with the mighty....Citadel. Bama will probably score eight touchdowns in the second half now, but still probably the most shocking halftime score in recent history.

Bama up 2 TD\s 5 minutes into the 3rd Q...they will run away with it now.

More eye-opening to me though? Citadel hasnt even attempted a pass yet. 35 plays....all rushing.

Urban Meyers sideline actions today are ridiculous. Its going to be even worse next week when Michgian destroys them. He'll probably die on the spot.

transplant99 · 11-17-2018, 01:44 PM

So bama wins easy...as expected.

Citadel attempted 2 passes in the entire game completing niether.

Hard to believe people pay money to watch that.

WV vs OkSt
Super Horrible Coach Hair Bowl

Can't believe Ohio St won.
It's not this the third or fourth time they have pulled a last minute win? Was really rooting for Maryland.
And yes, Meyer need to stop grabbing his crotch on national tv, really embarrassing.

Hoping Michigan destroys them next week.

That was one of the worst displays of defense I've seen in a while.

If Michigan loses today, it sure puts a big question mark of whether ND's schedule is really that much tougher than UCF's. It also makes it tough to say the big 10 champ deserves to be in ahead of UCF.

Agree. Until today UCF has not played a ranked opponent.
Was looking forward to the USF vs UCF game for Thanksgiving, but that was before USF started tanking.

Indiana is just the dirtiest team, coach should get fined for allowing his players to target.

vegasbound · 11-17-2018, 10:23 PM

Wash St is putting the beat down on Arizona and the first half isn't even over yet. 55-14.

Les Miles receives a 5-year contract at Kansas that will pay him $2.775 million annually, with additional retention bonuses due in Nov. 2020 & Nov. 2022. Really interesting hire.

I really dislike OSU but this week will probably be the only time I am actually hoping the win. If they don't then there still is a chance Northwestern can beat Michigan so all hope is not lost quite yet.

Interesting hire. He's got a good reputation and can hopefully bring some life to this horrible program.

West Virginia is done as far as playoff hopes go but still control their own destiny for winning the Big 12. If they beat OU this weekend then the Big 12 is done for playoffs too. Should be a great game this Friday.

Washington State probably has a better chance now that WVU lost. If WVU beats OU and eliminates the Big 12, and wither OSU or Northwestern beat Michigan and eliminate the Big 10 it opens the door for the PAC 12 (barely).

If Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC title game that will really make things interesting.

Ole miss vs miss st just got ugly. Nearly a brawl in the end zone. Punches thrown.

I just happened to be out for dinner and it was on the TV at the restaurant and I was shocked. Nice to see some rivalry going strong.

The most significant Apple Cup in 20 years goes tonight -- #16 Washington (8-3) at #8 Washington State (10-1). Pullman is going to be rocking!
