Another electric slate of college football came and went on Saturday afternoon, with plenty of storylines, standout performances, and near-upsets to write home about.

The biggest of which, of course, came in Happy Valley, where the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers tested fate before escaping with a win over Penn State—thanks to a highlight-reel grab by Omar Cooper Jr. that kept quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman hopes alive and well.

Elsewhere in the NCAA, Lane Kiffin made headlines by photobombing a fan's engagement before his Rebels' 49–0 spanking of The Citadel, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was benched during LSU's 20–9 loss to Alabama, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith hauled in 10 catches for 137 yards and a score to help the Buckeyes stay undefeated, and Texas Tech dominated BYU in a top-10 battle in Lubbock.
