While You Were Tailgating: 5 Things You Have To See From The Weekend
While You Were Tailgating: 5 Things You Have To See From The Weekend
Five things you need to see from the past weekend of football, including a bunch of programs who are about to be looking for a new coach.
The slate of top 25 matchups in college football this past weekend was epic, but the actual games? Maybe not so much. Notre Dame and Georgia no-showed, and TCU's vaunted defense was exposed by Oklahoma.
Still, it was an outstanding weekend of ball, complete with lots of dancing and one engagement.
Yes, an engagement.

Large Human Brock Riggs Scored A Touchdown
Tyler Stoyle to Demetrius Magee — who then pitches to an offensive lineman (!!!). Big Brock Riggs proceeds to take it to the house for the Student Princes (yes, that’s their actual name) during a Division III blowout win over Capital.
Auburn 'Whooped The Dog Crap' Out Of Georgia

Oklahoma’s Performance Was Off The Chain
OK, so you probably saw that, too. It was eye-opening. It was the stuff playoff runs are made of. And, accordingly, Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley was extremely impressed — but not as impressed as Baker Mayfield was at Riley's usage of the phrase, “off the chain.”
"The next one is bigger. That's why they call it #ChampionshipNovember."

Northwestern Danced
Northwestern beat Purdue by 10, and then the Wildcats danced. Why was this dance different from other dances? It just sort of… was.
