The Chiefs’ receiver woes continue.
A scary moment occurred during the Michigan-Ohio State game when Wolverines offensive lineman Zak Zinter suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury, one that required him to be carted off the field. The whole Michigan community and team rallied around Zinter immediately after the injury, as fans chanted “Let’s go Zak.” But Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy provided the most heartwarming moment when he embraced Zinter’s parents in a hug. The moment was shared by Fox College Football’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Wildcats never led until the fourth quarter
SMU’s Will Benton made those who played the unsung position of long snapper celebrate on Saturday after scoring what may be the unlikeliest touchdown of the entire 2023 college football season.
With the Mustangs leading 28–7 in the second quarter against Navy, SMU punted the ball to the Midshipmen. Navy returner Amin Hassan muffed the punt allowing the ball to roll into the end zone.
Following a brief scramble for the ball, Benton came away with the ball inside the end zone for a SMU touchdown.

Michigan State football has broken with tradition.
And that just doesn’t happen much in East Lansing.
Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” could have been written about the Spartans. Since that song came out in 1977, Michigan State has hired exactly one football coach with no ties to its program. That was John L. Smith in 2003.
Until Saturday afternoon, that is.
Michigan State has hired a rising, young, California boy who was Oregon State’s head coach – 44-year-old Jonathan Smith from the Los Angeles area.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The game between Ohio State and Michigan had the blood boiling for fans in the stands at Michigan Stadium and among those on the sidelines as well.
Ohio State athletics director Gene Smith got into a verbal altercation with a Michigan sideline security official in an incident recorded by OutKick. The incident happened in the third quarter of Michigan’s 30-24 win over Ohio State on Saturday.

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels has enjoyed a strong season, entering Saturday with 3,577 passing yards and 1,014 rushing yards while accounting for 46 total touchdowns. So, it’s no surprise that he’s one of the favorites to win this year’s Heisman Trophy when it’s awarded on Dec. 9.
Daniels played his final collegiate home game against Texas A&M on Saturday, and the Tigers marching band had a special performance to show the school’s appreciation for the quarterback.
Saturday’s matchup between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan is the biggest matchup of the college football season thus far, featuring two undefeated teams playing for a spot in the Big Ten championship and more importantly, a near-unassailable claim to a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Given the high stakes, tensions were heightened for fans of both programs, and some frustrations eventually boiled over on social media against color commentator Joel Klatt, who is calling the game on Fox alongside play-by-play man Gus Johnson.
Blake Courm scores his second TD of the game the play after OL Zak Zinter leaves the game with a serious injury. Can the Wolverines close out the Buckeyes? Get updates on all the games.
