Penn State's disaster continued, spotting Michigan a 21-0 lead in Ann Arbor, and never getting back within single digits. Journey Brown got off to a great start, but as the deficit grew, the run game was emphasized less and less.
The Sooners survived a scare at home, but a 2nd quarter safety when Ronnie Perkins brought down Charlie Brewer in the end zone equaled the margin of victory. Baylor kicker John Mayers hit a 51 yarder last year to send Baylor's game against TCU to overtime, but Dave Aranda did not call on him to try a 58 yarder on the final play of the game. Instead, the Bears' Hail Mary attempt fell hamlessly to the turf.
Auburn's defense completely smothered Kentucky in the first half, taking a 24-0 lead into the half. Kentucky "capitalized" on a shanked punt, and a long run to score a pair of field goals early in the 3rd quarter, but momentum really flipped with a pick six that allowed the home crowd back into the game at 24-13. Auburn marched down the field again, but was held to a field goal, before Kentucky put together their best drive of the game, and punched it in to close to within 27-20. Bo Nix put the Tigers on his back, with a 7 play, 71 yard touchdown drive, to open up a two score lead again. In what was a controversial decision, with 7:48 left, Mark Stoops elected to punt on 4th and 3 from his own 48. Auburn didn't score, but did convert three first downs to ice it.
The Wildcat defense came out strong, holding Texas to just a field goal on their first four possessions, and leading 7-3 early in the 2nd. Sam Ehlinger took over, and led the Longhorns on 4 consecutive 2nd quarter touchdown drives, accounting for 3 of the 4 himself, 2 with his legs, 1 passing. That was all the Texas defense needed
