Dan Mullen is 8-2 in his first year at UNLV after beating Utah State in double OT.
November 16, 2025 at 3:54 AM
Ole Miss gets a 4th down stop, then a TD, and they'll hang on to beat Florida.
November 16, 2025 at 3:25 AM
(Kicking team can't advance an onside kick, that's why the player went down after the recovery)
November 16, 2025 at 3:21 AM
Tricky Dawgs. Score a TD, then recover a surprise onside kick.
November 16, 2025 at 3:20 AM
Georgia let Texas hang around, and we've got a game. Dawgs lead 14-10 after a Texas TD.
November 16, 2025 at 2:58 AM
Lane Kiffin burns a timeout before the first play of the fourth quarter. He's ready for Florida.
November 16, 2025 at 2:49 AM
Why is Florida punting on 4th-and-2 at midfield in a lost season? Especially after picking up 40+ yards on the drive already.
November 16, 2025 at 2:32 AM
Three different Utah players have a TD run of 64+ yards tonight against Baylor.
November 16, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Florida stops Ole Miss at the goal line, Chambliss throws low on an open tunnel screen. Gators still lead 24-20.
November 16, 2025 at 2:25 AM
Trinidad Chambliss completes a pass to himself and converts a 4th-and-6. That was nuts.
November 16, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Florida leads No. 7 Ole Miss 24-20 at halftime.
November 16, 2025 at 1:50 AM
Utah has 180 rushing yards in the first half at Baylor, leading 28-10.

A Baylor coaching change feels likely at this rate, but the uncertain AD situation with Mack Rhoades' leave of absence makes things a bit fuzzy.
November 16, 2025 at 1:31 AM
The storyline of Florida fans wanting to beat Lane Kiffin because it could make it easier to try to hire Lane Kiffin is wild.
November 16, 2025 at 1:18 AM
Florida takes a 14-10 lead at Ole Miss in the 2nd quarter because of course.
November 16, 2025 at 12:54 AM
One-loss teams in the American:

Navy (6-1)
North Texas (5-1)
Tulane (5-1)
East Carolina (5-1)

North Texas beat Navy and Tulane beat ECU. They don't play each other the rest of the season. (OK, last time, finally got it)
November 16, 2025 at 12:40 AM
East Carolina takes a 31-27 lead over Memphis on a TD pass with 1:08 to go, on ESPNU.

The Pirates are also still alive in the American Conference race with one conference loss.
November 16, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Oklahoma was outgained 406-212 in total yards.

But they won the turnover battle 3-0 and had 13 points off those turnovers in a two-point win. Oklahoma's scoring drives went 23, 31, 41 and 22 yards.

Sooner defense and ST won the game, and the offense did just enough.
November 16, 2025 at 12:08 AM
Oklahoma is going to beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

What a win for Brent Venables, and the Sooners are still alive for the College Football Playoff.
November 15, 2025 at 11:56 PM
