Oregon State leading USC 7-3 at half in Corvallis
Coming into it, I actually could envision Oregon State giving them a game but wouldn’t have expected a 7-3 low scoring affair

Adrian Martinez with another big run inside the 5..he’s had a good game tonight, no mistakes and some nice runs

Yes, never underestimate Purdues ability to shoot themselves in the foot. I didnt see the game but looks like they escaped by the skin of their teeth.
So much for their great offense and "NFL" QB.
14 pts (7 scored in the closing seconds of garbage time).
Just a reminder to never underestimate just bad a McNulty offense can be.
Holding penalty just killed the Beavers. Would have had first down on the 1 yard line. Instead they missed the short tying field goal . Damn. 8 minutes left.
Beavers got the ball back and we’re moving into scoring position but QB threw I’ll advised pass and SC intercepted on their own 5 yard line. Turnovers are difference makers.

Beavers hold and SC punting from own end zone. Short punt and Beavs back in business on SC 23.
Touchdown Beavers- one play 23 yard run . 14-10. Can they contain SC in final minutes?
Huge 4 th down conversion by USC. QB was stopped short but was pushed over the first down line By his OL. Could be the difference. SC in scoring position,
Touchdown Trojans. TD pass with 1:13 left. Surprisingly poor coverage by OSU DB who played well all game. Solid 84 yard drive. 4th down conversion was the killer.
SC snares it’s 4 th INT on a tipped ball ending OSU’s upset hopes. Heartbreaking loss for the Beavers.
Maryland lost yesterday. Maybe you should pick up your ball and go home.
Oregon State holding an offense like USC to 17, 3 into the 4th qtr despite being -4 in the TO column is pretty good. Jonathan Smith has done a nice job there making them a respectable team.
Heard on CFF, it was the first ever win for MTSU against an AP ranked opponent.
Speaking of which I hope Kansas breaks into the AP poll today. First 4-0 start for Kansas since 2009. Daniels leads the nation currently in highest QBR (ESPN's rating, don't how it's calculated) with a 97. 2nd highest through 4 games in the last 5 season. Tua and Hurts were 1st and 3rd. Let's see if he keeps it up as the season goes.
Who knows maybe even the other Kansas team (KSU) gets in with their win in Norman on #6 OU.
TT first win over a ranked Texas team since 2008. Looks like anyone has a chance at the B12 title.

Agree with his points on coaching contracts. Prove consistency before handing out these big and lately very long deals, most of which are fully guaranteed.
From the article:
In the long run, Tucker could be worth every penny of the fully guaranteed, $95 million deal. It would be way premature to make any definitive judgments. But then again, it was premature to make Tucker one of the highest-paid coaches in the country.
The coach-as-savior mentality is rampant in college football. A good coach can have a huge impact on a program, especially after years of incompetence.
Look no further than Kansas for proof. Lance Leipold has the Jayhawks 4-0 for the first time since 2009. The turnaround behind quarterback Jaylon Daniels has been remarkable for a program that hadn’t won more than three games in any season since that ’09 campaign.
Still, the rush to find and then lock up a great college football coach has given coaches all the leverage and led decision-makers — athletic directors, university presidents, well-heeled boosters — to make highly questionable financial decisions. Tucker’s deal is far from the first and maybe not even the most questionable.
Nebraska just paid an extra $7.5 million to make Scott Frost go away a few weeks before his buyout was scheduled to be cut in half. This business is crazy.
The contract Tucker got reshaped the market and made extra-long megadeals the norm for any established and successful coach.
If Tucker was worth it after 16 victories, of course Ryan Day, Jim Harbaugh, James Franklin, Brian Kelly, Dabo Swinney, Kirby Smart, et al, were worth at least that.
Miami is a private school and does not disclose how much it pays its coaches, but it has been mostly assumed the school gave Mario Cristobal a market-rate megadeal to leave Oregon and be the Hurricanes’ savior.
Coming into the season Harsin at Auburn was one of the hottest seats out there given what they tried to do to him in the offseason but it sounds like at least 3 have beat him out the door. Frost, Herm and now possibly Collins at GT. Harsin will probably get fired without a big season but he's lasted longer than these 2 and possibly 3.
I don’t think that…fired in year two after giving out 8-10 year contracts. I don’t even think that with 5-6 year contracts. Harsin might be fired this year but that’s an aberration and still think it will be in the future but we’ll see.
Still no Kansas but KSU snuck in. Minnesota and FSU in as well.
