UCF punter is killing them.  Two shanked punts, but the defense has held ECU to two field goals.  13-6 Knights, but ECU only had 46 yards of 1st quarter offense.

Now a 50 yard punt return, with a 15 yard facemask tacked on.  ECU starts at the 18, and this time punches it in, for the 20-13 lead.  71 yards of offense through a quarter and a half, but 4 scores.

UCF survives a scare, 41-40

The good vibes of a big 2-0 start that included a conference win over Northwestern, and a road win at BYU, are now all gone in East Lansing, after following up a home upset loss to Toledo with a drubbing from the Canes.  Sparty was never in the game, and trailed 37-9 before scoring a garbage time touchdown to get into double digits.

Michigan seemed to seize control of a defensive struggle, outscoring the Badgers 17-0 in the 3rd quarter, to open up a 27-7 lead.  But Bucky wasn't dead, scoring on a pair of Jack Coan passing touchdowns to pull within 27-21.  Michigan was able to convert three 3rd down conversions to run over 7 minutes off the clock, and end with a sealing field goal.  Joe Milton was what we expected.  Just 51% completion rate, but threw for 240 yards, and had a 21 yard rushing touchdown.

Penn State is now in full on panic mode, after a narrow escape against Kent State, a loss to Virginia Tech, and a home loss to Northwestern.  Sean Clifford threw the ball 61 times for nearly 400 yards, but also threw 3 picks, including two in the end zone.  The Nittany Lions had one last play from the 9 to attempt to put the game into OT, but Clifford's 61st pass fell incomplete, and wasn't even in the end zone.

Ian Book had a case of the Sean Cliffords.  Over 400 yards passing, but 3 interceptions.  Wake returned one for a touchdown, and one inside the 10, which they punched in two plays later.  That was the difference.

Rocky Top stormed right down the field and scored on their first drive.  A sign of things to come?  Not so much.  The Gators continued to dominate this rivalry, and stamped their claim as SEC East favorites.
