PENN STEAKS EATEN BY WOLVERINES:
Michigan has Forty Six 4*&5* Players compared to PSU has Twenty Seven 4*&5* Star Players?
“There's a difference between playing ranked teams and top-five teams,” coach James Franklin said. “Those top-five teams are top-five teams for a reason. And they played like it today.”......“I don't know if I've ever been through or seen anything like this,” Franklin said. “We've got three guys out, and then Brandon gets thrown out going for an interception. Then Jan Johnson comes in, and we lose him, too.”.....Michigan finished with 326 yards rushing and scored six of its seven touchdowns on the ground. “I was really impressed by all of our running backs,” coach Jim Harbaugh said............“We weren't who we were in the last three games,” Barkley said. “We're a way better offense than that. We believe we are, and we know we are.”.........“The great thing is we've only played four games so far,” Barkley said. “We still have so many games left to prove ourselves. Our goals are still in line.”

NOTRE SHAME DUKED OUT & KELLY BLAMES PLAYERS NOT COACHES:
Another decided 4 to 5 Play game in the last minute and ND has Fifty Five 4*&5* Players compared to Duke's Four 4&5* Players? Guess Coaching win it for Duke after all but ND Players lost it for the Irish?
A walk-on kicker for the 21-point underdog split the uprights — and many hearts — at a suddenly sullen Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday........And it came against a team that had scored 27 points combined in losses the previous two weeks to Northwestern and Wake Forest.......Afterward, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly warned of possible personnel changes at every position. But he defended defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder — again — saying the unit that allowed 498 total yards was "the least of my concerns after today." Not to mention it was the Irish's fifth consecutive failure against a Power 5 team, and fifth loss in its last six games overall......."There is no position that is untouchable on this team," said Kelly, adding that running back Dexter Williams was the only player who had "emotion and fire." "If you want to play for me moving forward, you better … have some damn fire and energy in you. We lack it. Severely."Kelly then called out his own quarterback, saying DeShone Kizer's play was "below standard" and "not acceptable" after Kizer threw for a career-high 381 yards and two scores and led the team with 74 yards rushing and one more. The Irish were upset 38-35. Duke was happy about upsetting Notre Dame.

USC LOSES AGAIN BUT FINDS A QB AFTER 3 LOSSES:
Another 4 to 5 play win or loss in the last quarter? USC has Fifty Seven 4*&5* Players Too? Coaching is being blamed in LA?
Over the crackling of two head coaches’ headsets, two decisions began to take form late Friday evening. One went for it. One did not. In the fourth quarter, USC Coach Clay Helton faced a fourth down. A drive later, Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham faced a fourth down.............For USC it was a fourth and three from Utah’s 37, up three points late. For Utah, a fourth and one from USC’s 23, a tying field goal well within range..........Seventy yards and almost five minutes later, now it was Utah’s turn. Whittingham paced the sideline. The game would swing on his decision: a 40-yard field goal to tie, or ground out one yard for a chance to win............The loss, which dropped the Trojans to 0-2 in the Pac-12 Conference, further rumbled an unhappy team and fueled questions about Helton’s efficacy. He is now 1-5 since being named USC’s full-time head coach. “I’m heartbroken for them,” Helton said. “I truly believe that we can be a really good football team. We’ve got to just finish with wins.” “After the game we were all down,” quarterback Sam Darnold said outside the locker room. “But we have hope.” The hope may be Darnold, who was confident and dynamic in his debut as the starter.
