College football live scores, updates: LSU at Texas A&M, Penn State at Wisconsin and more
Week 9 features plenty of ranked-on-ranked action, but will we see any upsets?
With five games pitting AP Top 25 teams against each other, one would think we'd be in for a thrilling day of action.
But it was all chalk most of Saturday. No. 12 Notre Dame took advantage of six turnovers by No. 24 Navy in a 51-14 blowout. No. 4 Ohio State and No. 13 Indiana quelled any upset fears by holding on at home in Big Ten battles. Then No. 1 Oregon and No. 5 Texas took care of business later.
If anything, Saturday seems like a showcase for personal achievements, with Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith becoming the first freshman in 19 years to catch a TD in each of his first seven games and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel moving into the No. 2 spot in all-time touchdown passes.
Here’s what we're keeping an eye on later tonight.
No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M
Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas A&M -2.5 | Total: 53.5
These are the only teams without an SEC loss this season, so the winner will have an inside track to the conference title game. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier has been one of the most productive QBs in the nation so far, and he'll face an A&M defense that has defended the pass very well.
