COLLEGE FOOTBALL

10 USC survives a shootout in triple OT with one of the weirdest play calls you’ll see

USC SURVIVES IN TRIPLE OT‼️

UNBELIEVABLE botch job by Miami to end the game on Saturday. Up 3 points with under a minute to go — ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS KNEEL THE BALL — and they could have ran the clock out for the win. Instead, they hand it off, fumble and let Georgia Tech win in it in the final seconds of the game

I keep watching it and it still doesn’t seem real. Insane

Upset Alerts

12 Oklahoma over 3 Texas (TEX -5.0) | They call this the Red River Rivalry and, this year, it did not disappoint. Texas had a Hail Mary shot in the final seconds but Oklahoma upsets Texas 34-30

A pick and a TD within the first two minutes‼️
What a start to the Red River Rivalry from Oklahoma 😤

My view of that Red River Rivalry winning TD from Dillon Gabriel to Nic Anderson, with some postgame reaction.

World Record alert

Kelvin Kiptum just ran a record marathon time of 2:00:35 in Chicago.
He beat Eliud Kipchoge’s 2:01:09 time by 34 secs! And was only 35 secs from sub- 2 hours.
The Kenyan star is only 23-years old and trains by himself with no coach.
Unbelievable.
