Without Clausen, the prospect of beating then sixth ranked Georgia was bleak. With starting quarterback Casey Clausen, the Volunteers needed every bit of overtime to defeat a decent Arkansas Razorback squad. The missed attempt saved Miami's nation-leading winning streak and sent Florida State back north devastated with its second loss of the season. With seconds left, Florida State kicker Xavier Beitia hooked a 43-yard field goal wide left. Dorsey got dirty with 360 yards in the air, connecting on two touchdowns.Įven with the lopsided passing totals, Florida State had a legitimate opportunity to seal the victory. The difference in the game is clear _ the Hurricanes QB Ken Dorsey stepped his game up when Seminole QB Chris Rix just did not. Miami does not have a bad running back either: Heisman hopeful Willis McGahee finished just short of 100 yards with 92. Nick Maddox also provided a viable run source with 12 carries reaching a total of 76 yards, 30 of which came on a touchdown run in the second quarter. Jones got 31 touches to amass 191 yards and one touchdown. The story of the game was wide left.įlorida State completely abandoned its passing attack and relied on Heisman hopeful Greg Jones for a powerful running attack. The latest victim was then 12th-ranked Florida State Seminoles. Wow, Miami must really believe in God as the Hurricanes escaped with their 28th straight victory 28-27. Texas dropped to 5-1, while Oklahoma continues its perfect season at 6-0. But, the difference in the game was that Hybl tossed for two touchdowns compared to Simms' zero. Sooner QB Nate Hybl only threw for 131 yards and compiled four interceptions. Needless to say, his QB rating was garbage. Not only did Simms throw for just 156 yards on the afternoon, but added to his problems by tossing three picks. Longhorns quarterback Chris Simms, son of former New York Giant quarterback Phil Simms, played like absolute doo-doo. It was truly a terrible day for both quarterbacks. Griffin added two touchdowns (one rush, one reception) in the fourth quarter as Oklahoma outscored Texas 21-7 in the last stanza to win 35-24. Griffin had 248 rushing yards on the day, which stood out even more because preseason All-American Texas running back Cedric Benson only tallied 54 yards by game's end. However, what Texas did not plan on for the entire game was Sooner running back Quentin Griffin. The Horns did not trail once through the first three quarters of the contest. Man, I was upset! While I was caught in a torrential downpour at Trinity College, Oklahoma completed a total comeback against Texas. Meanwhile, in SEC country, Tennessee was out to prove that it deserved the number nine ranking it received in last week's poll against equally disrespected Georgia. Florida State pushed in-state rival Miami to the utter limits of its winning streak. Then number two Longhorns of Texas battled with then number three Oklahoma in a game that has taken place 96 previous times. Last weekend's match-ups in college football were so delectable, you could put 'em on a plate and sop 'em up with a biscuit.
