College football turned into the NCAA Tournament on Saturday. The mantra of the day for many of college football’s top programs was “Survive and Advance”. Georgia and Texas were able to do that Saturday while Oklahoma and LSU’s championship aspirations are effectively over.
The only way to describe Saturday is bizarre. A depleted Kansas State team rallied from 21 points down to defeat #3 Oklahoma. Where dreams typically go to die, the fighting Mike Leach’s led by K.J. Costello, passed for 623 yards and surpassed everyone’s wildest dreams upsetting #6 LSU. The #8 Texas Longhorns needed to score 15 points in the last three minutes to force the game into overtime and save themselves against an average Texas Tech team.
