Minnesota clawing

Early 4Q: Purdue 10, Minnesota 10

Minnesota has the football and is trying to put together a drive for its first lead of the game in what has been an ugly slugfest for positioning in the Big Ten West. Both quarterbacks have thrown two interceptions without a TD and neither run game can get going.

Iowa is on the board!

Early 4th: Michigan 20, Iowa 7

The Hawkeyes have finally hit paydirt thanks to a two-yard ruch by Kaleb Johnson, but it’s likely too little too late. Iowa still only has 157 yards of offense, and 44 of them just came on its last possession. Michigan has completely dominated the game otherwise. Blake Corum has rushed for 101 yards, while JJ McCarthy has thrown for 148 with a TD pass. It’s hard to imagine the Hawkeyes scoring two more times in the final 15 minutes. At least, not on offense.

Um, Wisconsin?

Late 3Q: Illinois 31, Wisconsin 10

The Badgers are behind three scores at home against Illinois. Looks like the last time Illinois won in Madison was 2002. A win for the Illini would be made even sweeter because of the fact that it’s ex-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema running things for Illinois now. With the Big Ten West in utter chaos, Illinois might need to be taken seriously as a division-title contender.

Kentucky driving in Oxford

End Q3: No. 14 Ole Miss 22, No. 7 Kentucky 19

The Wildcats got a touchdown pass from Will Levis to Jordan Dingle early in the third quarter, but Ole Miss took the lead back with field goal with 2:19 to play. The Wildcats answered right back with a stellar 54-yard kickoff return from Barion Brown to set up the final drive of the quarter — which concluded with the Wildcats lining up to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the 38-yard line.

Tied up in Oxford

6:22 Q3: No. 7 Kentucky 19, No. 14 Ole Miss 19

The Wildcats offensive line came out like a different unit in the second half, and was a big reason why they drove down the field and tied things up in Oxford. Quarterback Will Levis had great protection in an eight-play, 49-yard drive that culminated with a 17-yard touchdown strike to Jordan Dingle. The Rebels offense has had a hard time putting together sustained drives, so it’ll be interesting to see how it reacts.

K-State surges ahead

Late 3Q: Kansas State 20, Texas Tech 13

Kansas State and Texas Tech are both coming off huge wins last week and are locked in a tight one today. The Wildcats just retook the lead with 6:04 left in the third quarter on an 18-yard pass from Adrian Martinez to Phillip Brooks. K-State led 13-0 early before the Red Raiders answered with 13 unanswered. Martinez has been doing his thing again today after a huge performance at Oklahoma las week.

Frogs emphatic vs. OU

Half: TCU 41, Oklahoma 17

TCU is crushing Oklahoma at halftime of the Big 12 matchup in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs got a monster effort from Max Duggan, who threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns  and added a 67-yard rushing score in the first half against Brent Venables’ squad. Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for 126 yards, but had to leave the game after suffering an apparent head injury that was called for targeting. Backup Davis Beville missed on his first two passes.

Checking in on the Iowa offense

Minnesota trailing

Half: Purdue 10, Minnesota 3

A Minnesota offense that ranked among the nation’s best in many offensive categories entering this game has been off so far at home against Purdue. The Gophers have done nothing in the running game, and Tanner Morgan has thrown two interceptions. Minnesota has been in Purdue territory five times but has just three points to show for it.

Ole Miss up seven at the break

Half: No. 14 Ole Miss 19, No. 7 Kentucky 12

The Rebels got a safety on a Will Levis intentional grounding call midway through the quarter and a field goal one drive later. But Wildcats wide receiver Tayvion Robinson scored on a 5-yard shuffle pass to bring the Wildcats within seven going to the break. Both rushing attacks have been solid through 30 minutes, but the passing in this game has been extremely disjointed. 

Pinned

Dillon Gabriel down

Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel just took a vicious hit with 10:30 remaining in the second quarter. TCU’s Jamoi Hodge came in hot and was flagged for targeting on the play after Gabriel gained three yards near midfield. Tough to see, especially since Gabriel dealt with a season-ending injury last season at UCF before transferring. Hope he is OK. Really tough for OU, already trailing 34-10 on the road, to see its starting QB go down like this.

Michigan in control in Iowa City

HALF: Michigan 13, Iowa 0

It might only be a two-score game, but it’s a two-score game involving the Iowa offense, so it may as well be four scores. Michigan opened the game with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, and while it hasn’t been as effective since, it’s tacked on two more field goals. All of which is a lot more than Iowa has been able to manage. The beleagured Hawkeyes offense managed only 91 yards of offense in the first half. Michigan has 236, including 131 on the ground and 105 via the air, as teh Wolverines have run more than twice as many offensive plays than Iowa. The good news for the Hawkeyes is they’ll have a chance to cut into the deficit when they get the ball to start the third quarter.

Will Levis dislocates his finger

Q2: No. 14 Ole Miss 16, No. 7 Kentucky 6

Kentucky quarterback Will Levis was called for intentional grounding in the end zone midway through the second quarter to put his team down 16-6. To add insult to injury, he dislocated his middle finger on his non-throwing hand on the play. Trainers popped it back in and taped it up, and Levis stayed in the game.

Highlight!

Check out this catch from Zay Flowers. Been a rough season so far for Boston College, but Flowers and Jurkovec finally had a highlight moment here.

TCU rolling

2Q: TCU 27, Oklahoma 10

TCU has taken a blowtorch to Oklahoma’s defense in the first quarter as the Horned Frogs lead 27-10 after the first quarter. Frogs quarterback Max Duggan threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns, and added a 67-yard rushing score in the first 15 minutes alone. The Sooners’ secondary has been rattled since the early going and committed multiple pass interference penalties to try and prevent touchdowns to no avail.

Rough start

End 1Q: Purdue 10, Minnesota 0

Rough start at home for Minnesota as 10.5 point favorites against Purdue. The Gophers went 3-and-out on their first series, threw an interception on their second and then turned it over on downs during their third possession. Purdue QB Aidan O’Connell is back after missing last week and Aled a 10-play TD drive on Purdue’s first series. Minnesota is driving to start the second quarter, but the Gophers are gonna be in fight today, it seems.

Ole Miss rushing attack is cooking vs. Kentucky

End Q1: No. 14 Ole Miss 14, No. 7 Kentucky 6

The Rebels came into the season with the SEC’s top rushing offense, and they’re showing it off against the underdog Wildcats in Oxford. Zach Evans had a 4-yard touchdown rush early in the first quarter and Quinshon Judkins scampered 48 yards up the middle for a score late in the frame to build a lead for Lane Kiffin’s crew. Kentucky running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., who had been suspended for the first four games of the year, plunged in on the last play of the quarter to cut it to 14-6.

Michigan and Iowa locked in defensive slog

End 1Q: Michigan 7, Iowa 0

Michigan made things look easy on the opening possession of the game, going 75 yards in 11 plays, with Ronnie Bell rushing for a 16-yard touchdown to cap it off. Since then, however, the defenses have settled in and dominated the play. Iowa did put together a decent drive before stalling in Michigan territory and punting. Iowa’s Spencer Petras is having a very Spencer Petras game so far, as he’s completed two of his six passes for 34 yards. Michigan’s JJ McCarthy is 6/7 for 44 yards.

Pinned

Kansas State cruising

2Q: Kansas State 13, Texas Tech 0

Kansas State is off to a hot start on both sides against Texas Tech. Adrian Martinez already has 67 yards passing and 81 yards rushing with a touchdown. The Wildcats defense is holding the Red Raiders to negative rushing yards early. Texas Tech has just 25 total yards early in the second quarter.

Aidan O’Connell healthy

Big news for Purdue in its game with No. 21 Minnesota that will be kicking off in just a few minutes. Multiple reports indicate quarterback Aidan O’Connell will be available after he missed last week’s close victory over Florida Atlantic. Boilermakers’ coach Jeff Brohm kept O’Connell’s status close to the vest all week. He’s the engine that makes Purdue go, and Minnesota will have its work cut out to cover a 10.5 point spread.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba out

Ohio State star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be unavailable yet again today as the Buckeyes host Rutgers at 3:30 ET. The junior has just four catches for 36 yards this season as he’s dealt with a hamstring injury that has limited him to two games. The Buckeyes shouldn’t need him against the Scarlet Knights with a tougher stretch of schedule coming against Michigan State, Iowa and Penn State the rest of October.
