Later in the night, it was back-and-forth and 29-26 in the end — to Florida — in the Utes-Gator regional clash in the swamp, with a meaningful two-point conversion that had an overtime jump into the end zone. The rematch between Houston and UTASA proves once again how many people in Texas play meaningful scrap football.
At 11:00 a.m. on a cloudy 77-degree day in Iowa City, 69,250 people packed into a beloved stadium to witness punishment and an unfairly overlooked piece of art. South Dakota State quarterback Dustman has carried 11 times for 457 yards, a 41.5 average. Iowa’s Torey Taylor has 10 receptions for 479 yards with a 47.9 average.
That’s 936 yards in 936 yards, and that’s the dean of all FBS coaches, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz said. Since coaching Iowa games In the last century.
At the time, Ferentz had never seen a team score seven points in a 3-2-2 formation, so he pointed out, “I’ve never been to a game like this, but we’ll take it today.” “
In the end, Taylor shot several times, he wasn’t sure how often, and told reporters, “But I realize that I had 10 points that broke my personal record, which probably wasn’t the best thing.” i say.”
For those who scoff at shooting, “I’d say I have four or five types that I actually use,” he adds.
#Iowa Punter Torey Taylor downed punts at the 1, 2, 6, 8, 8, and 12-yard lines.
Taylor had 479 total punt yards Saturday, 193 yards more than the total offense between Iowa and South Dakota State.

Brushing your punter knowledge with inquisitors might be a four or five, but consider Taylor to be one of those punters in Melbourne’s biggest Australian curiosity pipeline. Two other Melbourne-raised shooters, brothers Mason Fletcher and Max Fletcher, played for Cincinnati and Arkansas, and Cincinnati and Arkansas. It happened that they played each other on SaturdayNo. 19 Arkansas beat good Cincinnati 31-24 in a good game.
A game that looked like somewhere beyond the Mad Cap happened in Boone, at noon Eastern time on a cloudy 73-degree afternoon, with a record 40,168 packed into Appalachian State’s Kidd Beer Stadium to see the woolly thing. “It blows my mind why we don’t play these in-state football games every year,” Appalachian State coach Sean Clark said.
Everyone knows why, another crazy sports fanatic. Do you thank North Carolina for scheduling when you think it should regularly schedule North Carolina?
It’s worth reviewing the fourth quarter, which started with North Carolina leading 41-21 and ended with North Carolina trailing 63-61. The Mountaineers drove 71 yards in 8 plays with 12:10 left to make it 41-28. The Mountaineers drove 28 yards on three plays to score with 10:37 left to make it 41-35. The Tar Heels went 75 yards in three plays to score with 9:25 left to make it 49-35. The Mountaineers drove 77 yards in seven plays to score, 49-42 with 7:20 left. They went 64 yards in three plays to score with four minutes left at 49-49. The Tar Heels drove 75 yards in 5 plays and scored with 2:50 left to make it 56-49. The Mountaineers drove 75 yards in 8 plays and scored with 31 seconds left before missing the two-point conversion to make it 56-55. The Tar Heels returned the kickoff 43 yards for a 63-55 lead with 28 seconds left. The Mountaineers went 48 yards on two plays and scored with 9 seconds left, missing the two-point conversion at 63-61.
“You can’t score 21 points in one game and everybody knows that,” Appalachian State quarterback Chase Brees said, but anyone who’s flipping streaming services between the game and Iowa might be wondering. And yes, that’s Brees leading one of the most important drives in recent years, in 2018, Clemson’s 94-yarder on fourth-and-6 against Syracuse, which preserved a 15-0 undefeated streak. , a national-championship year.
Miles away from the game of artful punters, Boone showed the game of bored punters. Appalachian State’s Clayton Howell once said. He drove North Carolina’s Ben Kiernan crazy and struck out twice.
All of this led to typical abominations from these heady Saturdays, such as Houston quarterback Clayton Tune’s streak into the end zone for a 35-35 score in the third overtime, then a defender leaping into that end zone for a 37-35 lead. to win And some Utes and Gators trade results in Gainesville, Fla.
That’s how Anthony Richardson recently starred as the quarterback for a Florida program that wasn’t as good as his Tom Petty-singer followers thought. No. 7 Utah comes to town, another gutsy little schedule. The Utes led late as Richardson led Florida on a 14-play, 75-yard, winning drive. 85 seconds left with 106 rushing yards over the two.
“The guy’s like 6-4 and 240 and runs like a 4.3, so there’s no way he’s going to be boxed in,” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said after the 29-26 heartbreak. So credit Whittingham, the second-longest reigning senior coach behind Ferentz, with the program. Come December, the College Football Playoff selection committee will be in any evaluation of the Utes.
But that’s speculative business talk in a sport that has a lot of speculative business talk. Sometimes, to enjoy it, one has to look at the games, games, games and how these crazy cases spent Saturday on wild rides for current types like Whittingham, 62, and Ferentz, 67, and North Carolina’s Mack Brown, 71. .
You might even say it keeps them going.
