The fourth week of the college football season marks the start of conference play for many teams, and given the schedule, expectations should not be disappointed.
Clemson clearly dominated its conference rival NC State early on, scoring 45 points in the first half for an easy win that shows the team can compete alongside Miami at the top of the ACC.
The first few games were also historic. James Madison scored more points in the first half than ever before against North Carolina, winning 70-50 (UNC had never allowed that many points in a half before Saturday). Later, Temple kicker Maddux Trujillo made a 64-yard field goal – the longest kick in 16 years and just one yard shy of Martin Gramatica’s record.
The big SEC showdown between Tennessee and Oklahoma is the highlight of the Saturday night games.
(All times are East Coast times and all The odds are from BetMGM.)
Former Oklahoma quarterback and assistant Josh Heupel returns to Norman as the Volunteers’ head coach on Saturday night. UT quarterback Nico Iamaleava has become an early Heisman Award favorite with his play so far, and this strong offense will put pressure on Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold to get something going in the passing game.
