COLUMBIA, Mo. – LSU coach Brian Kelly saw his team fall behind 22-7 in the second quarter at Missouri after a 55-49 loss at Ole Miss last week.
So, with a 42-39 lead and the ball with under a minute to play, Kelly just wanted to get back to Baton Rouge and not see his defense more.
And he yelled for safety Major Burns to take a knee after Burns intercepted Missouri quarterback Brady Quinn with under 40 seconds to go deep in Missouri territory. Burns, though, couldn’t resist. He returned the pick the 17 yards for a touchdown, and LSU took a 49-39 lead with :34 left.
If the Steelers’ and Saints’ offenses do not turn around in Week 5 with some impressive performances, both of their offensive coordinators will be on the hot seat, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Pittsburgh OC Matt Canada and Steelers OC Pete Carmichael have faced significant criticism to start the season and have been supported by their coaches publicly. Privately, however, things could change if they don’t start putting up some points.
Canada has been especially criticized by NFL fans relentlessly and blamed for the Steelers’ offensive woes.
The No. 17-ranked Miami Hurricanes found an absolutely mind-boggling way to lose a game Saturday night when they somehow decided to run a play in the final minute instead of taking a knee which would have ended the game.
That running play led to a fumble, which led to Georgia Tech getting the ball back and scoring a game-winning TD a few moments later right as time expired.
It was just brutal decision by Miami coach Mario Cristobal, who was just as bad explaining the play call and the costly fumble during his postgame press conference.
I don’t even know how to be trying to explain this. To be honest, I’m a little too gobsmacked to actually put digital pen to digital paper. You try not to be a prisoner of the moment in this business, but you can watch a lot of football and never see something more head-scratching than how Miami lost its game against Georgia Tech. Sometimes just the cold facts tell the story.
The play clock in college football is 40 seconds. Unlike on a failed fourth down (which causes a change of possession), when you go down inbounds on any other down, the clock continues to run.

Expect to see lots and lots of pit stops on Sunday
If you are a fan of pit stops during Formula 1 races, then today is your lucky day.
Because at the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, you might see at least 60 of them.
In the hours ahead of the race the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the sport’s governing body, has declared that during the race each set of tyres during the race can run a maximum of 18 laps.
It’s another early NFL Sunday, with the Jags and Bills getting the day started in London. That game has plenty of juice, and here’s how Matt Harmon ranks the rest of the slate.
Former NFL linebacker Anthony Chickillo was tased by police officers Thursday after suffering an apparent mental breakdown at a hospital.
Chickillo was at Hialeah Hospital in Hialeah, Fla., when he began “trashing” an office. The 30 year old was breaking things and throwing chairs, according to TMZ. Cops said Chickillo “tried to attack everybody” and even got into a physical altercation with his father before officers subdued him.
His girlfriend, Tatu Baby, later told the outlet Chickillo was experiencing a medical episode caused by his bipolar disorder.
Before the Chargers traded J.C. Jackson to the Patriots on Wednesday, there was drama between the cornerback and his former team. Jackson refused to enter Sunday’s matchup against the Raiders despite being healthy enough to play, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
During the Week 4 matchup, Jackson repeatedly refused to enter the game with his shoelaces remaining untied despite his team needing him to fill in for Michael Davis in the third quarter when he injured his ankle.
