NCAA College Football – Week 11 Recap
After all the disgusting headlines out of Penn State dominating the sports world this past week, it was good to return to the field with some actual football. And the Top 25 gave us plenty of excitement to discuss.
Seven ranked teams, including two in the Top Five, went down to defeat. Boise State saw its BCS hopes die on a missed field goal as time expired (again). Oregon downed Stanford in a wild Pac-12 shootout. Oklahoma State looked every bit the part of a title contender. And Penn State hit the field without Joe Paterno at the helm for the first time in 46 years. Here are all the highlights from this week in the AP Top 25.
Tigers Topple The Hilltoppers
The top ranked LSU Tigers are 10-0 for the first time since 1958 after defeating Western Kentucky by the score of 42-9. Jordan Jefferson got his first start of the season, finishing with one touchdown on 8-14 passing. Jarrett Lee saw some playing time late, finishing with a touchdown pass of his own. The Tiger defense held WKU to 86 total yards in the second half.
