It was the best weekend of college football so far this season marked by key matchups and star-making performances. Alabama rose like the Undertaker against Ole Miss; Oregon delivered a “good old-fashioned butt-kicking” to Colorado; Florida State escaped Death Valley like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank; Washington State’s Cameron Ward announced his Heisman candidacy; Ohio State survived in South Bend.
Following the Buckeyes’ last-second victory, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day gave a postgame interview that was drenched in vitriol and frustration.
“I’d like to know where Lou Holtz is right now,” Day said, referring to Holtz’s pre-game criticisms.
