**I can’t understand how Florida State’s program got so terrible. FSU is getting humiliated in its rivalry game against Miami, 35-3.
There once was a time when the Noles were a top five staple for more than a decade. Now they’re a punchline.
Update: 8:30 p.m.
**Goodness. SEC record for passing yards in a game. In the season opener. In his first game there (transferred from Stanford). And in Mike Leach’s first game at Mississippi State.
Crazy.

**We could have had even more chaos in college football today as Texas Tech led Texas 56-41 late. The Longhorns rallied and won in OT.
Texas narrowly avoids an upset with a 63-56 victory over Texas Tech.
Sam Ehlinger is the first player in Texas history with multiple 5 pass TD games in a single season.
He is the 2nd to do this in a career, joining Colt McCoy. pic.twitter.com/GJvTzGtqpi

**Thoughts and prayers go out to Erie McDowell football player who collapsed on sideline and underwent brain surgery in Pittsburgh.
Here’s the story from GoErie.com.
Jonathan Heubel and I had some great conversations during this covid era where it changed week by week if there would be a season. All he wanted was a senior season with his teammates. Sending all the prayers and well wishes his way. I'll pass along any updates if I get one.

The Heubel family posted on social media that Jonathan is being flown to Pittsburgh with possible brain issues. Really need prayers for the Heubel family and Jonathan right now everyone. 🙏
