The Trojans can help salvage a frustrating season and potentially derail Notre Dame’s playoff hopes with an upset. The Irish are a very bad matchup for a USC defense that allows over five yards a carry. Notre Dame’s run game is one of the best in the country as Jeremiyah Love has turned into a home-run hitter. Love has 121 carries for 850 yards and 14 TDs.
It’s fantastic that these two longtime rivals are finally playing each other again. And it’s made even better by the stakes. The winner will play Georgia for the SEC title on Dec. 7. The Longhorns and Aggies haven’t played since 2011, when Texas needed a late field goal in College Station for a 27-25 win. That was A&M’s final game in the Big 12 before moving to the SEC.
Farmageddon has serious Big 12 title implications. Both teams are alive for the conference title, though Kansas State will know by kickoff if it still has a chance. If there’s a four-way tie at 7-2, Iowa State is in the Big 12 title game against Arizona State. If the Cyclones lose, they’re out of the title race.
The Gamecocks were driving and near the red zone, but Clemson’s Khalil Barnes made an incredible diving interception on a LaNorris Sellers pass to get the ball back for the Tigers.
End of 3Q: OSU 10, Michigan 10
There weren’t too many highlights in that third quarter as both coaches opted for more conservative playcalling after the turnovers. Michigan has the ball in its own territory as we head to the fourth quarter.
Touchdown Tennessee
The Vols have found their rhythm in Nashville. Nico Iamaleava hit Mike Matthews for a 14-yard touchdown — Iamaleava’s fourth TD pass of the day.
Ohio State misses FG
The Buckeyes went with some timid playcalling after the interception and settled for another field goal attempt, which was pulled left by kicker Jayden Fielding.
Interception Ohio State!
The Buckeyes get it right back two plays later after Caleb Downs made a diving pick. Ohio State has a short field to work with after the turnover.
Interception Michigan!
Will Howard has made another huge mistake! The OSU QB didn’t appear to see Michigan’s Makari Paige dropping into coverage and it’s another turnover for the Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes have the ball back and they’re already in scoring position after a solid run by Quinshon Judkins.
Meanwhile, in Lubbock…
We are back for the second half at the Horseshoe. The Buckeyes had a decent drive going, but it fizzled out just past midfield and they punted it over to Michigan.
Touchdown Clemson!
It’s Cade Klubnik again with his legs! The quarterback scrambled out of the pocket and ran 18 yards for the score.
Clemson 14, South Carolina 7
Scoreboard update
Here’s where things stand as the first wave of games hits halftime:
Scoreboard update
Touchdown Tennessee!
The Vols have found the end zone just before the half. Nico Iamaleava hit Miles Kitselman over the middle for an 18-yard touchdown.
Tennessee 24, Vanderbilt 17
Halftime: Ohio State 10, Michigan 10
The Wolverines were happy to just run out the clock with their final possession. The Buckeyes will have the ball when the teams return for the second half.
Touchdown Ohio State!
The Buckeyes are finally in the end zone after struggling throughout the first half and it’s freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith that gets it done. There’s just 30 seconds left in the half.
OSU 10, Michigan 10
Ohio State on the march
The Buckeyes have moved the ball over midfield as the first half winds to a close. We’re under the 2-minute mark now.
Touchdown Tennessee!
The Vols have tied things up in Nashville on a 86-yard catch and run by Dont’e Thornton.
Tennessee 17, Vanderbilt 17
Michigan adds FG
The Wolverines took advantage of a short field after a bad OSU punt and tacked on a 54-yard field goal by Dominic Zvada.
Michigan 10, OSU 3
OSU misses FG
The Buckeyes had worked their way down to the red zone, but their drive fell apart there and Jayden Fielding missed a 38-yard field goal attempt.
The good news for OSU is that Will Howard is back in the game after a brief injury scare.
Back-to-back picks in Tennessee!
We have dueling interceptions in Nashville. One play after Diego Pavia threw a wild interception in the end zone, UT’s Nico Iamaleava threw one of his own on a deep pass.
Touchdown South Carolina!
The Gamecocks have responded as LaNorris Sellers capped off a 6-play, 75-yard drive with a 25-yard touchdown scramble.
Game on in Death Valley!
Touchdown Michigan!
Well, Michigan got its touchdown after all. The Wolverines take advantage of the short field after the turnover as Kalel Mullings plunges into the end zone for a TD.
Michigan 7, Ohio State 3
Interception Michigan!
What a huge mistake by Will Howard! The Ohio State QB clearly didn’t see Michigan’s Aamir Hall as the DB jumped the route and picked off the pass near the OSU goal line.
Touchdown Clemson!
The Tigers are on the board first in Death Valley after this scramble by Cade Klubnik.
Michigan stuffed at goal line!
The Wolverines had worked their way all the way down to the 3-yard line but couldn’t get a first down or touchdown on fourth-and-short. They’ll turn it over to the Buckeyes.
End of Q1: Clemson 0, South Carolina 0
We are still scoreless in Death Valley. The Gamecocks have the ball deep in their own territory and neither team has mounted much offensively.
Meanwhile, Michigan is now in the red zone after a huge chunk play by quarterback Alex Orji.
Touchdown Tennessee!
The Vols are finally on the board after Vandy’s hot start. Nico Iamaleava finds Dont’e Thornton on a crossing route for a 28-yard touchdown.
Vanderbilt 14, Tennessee 7
Pick 6 by Northwestern!
It’s not the most important game of Week 14, but it’s a highlight!
Ohio State starts with field goal
The Buckeyes are on the board first after their drive fizzles out in the red zone.
OSU 3, Michigan 0
Things have gone very well for Vanderbilt so far. The Commodores returned the opening kickoff for a TD and then made it a 14-0 lead with a TD after recovering a Tennessee fumble.
The No. 8 Vols are likely in the College Football Playoff with a win.
We are underway with our first wave of games!
We’ll mostly be following Ohio State vs. Michigan and South Carolina vs. Clemson in the early window, but we’ll also drop in highlights from around the country.
