UTSA 48, Tulane 26
A Thursday night bout between UTSA and Tulane brought some unexpected spice, with Roadrunners coach Jeff Traylor saying his squad had felt "extremely disrespected" by comments made by Green Wave coach Jon Sumrall earlier in the week. Sumrall had speculated earlier in the week that UTSA might be pumping crowd noise in through its stadium speakers.
The Roadrunners were victorious Thursday, and after the game, their social media team added its own homage to Sumrall's comments to go with a graphic showing a submerged Tulane helmet.
Wow didn't realize Duke won at Clemson -- Nice troll...
Duke 46, Clemson 45
A barn-burning ACC clash between Duke and Clemson ended in thrilling fashion. The Blue Devils scored with under a minute remaining and went for two (and the win) instead of kicking an extra point. The conversion was successful, and Duke earned a big road win.
The Blue Devils took aim at the Tigers' home stadium, often referred to as "Death Valley." In keeping with Halloween, Duke's X account photoshopped a Spirit Halloween banner over the Memorial Stadium scoreboard.
Vandy game... Speaking about the late-game anxiety, Sarkisian looked at the positive -- the final quarter will give him and his staff the opportunity for some constructive criticism heading into next week....
Auburn has fired football coach Hugh Freeze after a 4-5 start to the 2025 season, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Sunday.
DJ Durkin will take over as interim head coach 😬 in Freeze's absence, per Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger.
Freeze was under contract through 2029 thanks to the six-year deal he signed with Auburn in November 2022. He was making $6.7 million this season on a contract with a buyout price of $15.4 million, according to USA Today.
The news comes after Auburn was held to three points in an upset Saturday night loss to Kentucky that dropped the program's record to 15-19 under Freeze.
Durkin is in his second year as the Tigers' defensive coordinator. Auburn ranked 31st in the FBS with just over 330 opponent yards per game allowed during Durkin's first season with the team.
Since Klatt calls "Big Noon Game"posting here. Totally agree that Quarterfinal games should be on campus...
Love Klatt's analogy of Netflix and Blockbuster 😋
Yeah this morning on OTF discussed whether these 5 will play against bulldawgs in Athens... likely, but may also have to rotate in some of the bigger Texas OL players in order to handle jawja's size and physicality.
