In the afternoon, No. 11 Tennessee and No. 20 Florida square off in Knoxville, followed by No. 15-ranked Oregon facing Washington State for the 100th time.
Kicking off the evening window, KJ Jefferson and the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks venture to College Station for a date with the No. 23-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, while No. 3 Ohio State hosts Wisconsin in Columbus. Later on FOX, No. 6 Oklahoma meets Kansas State, and No. 18 Washington plays host to Stanford on FS1.
Here are the top plays from Saturday’s packed Week 4 slate.
D’oh!
Maryland gave away the opening kickoff as Tai Felton let the ball hit his helmet and bounce to a Michigan player, putting the Wolverines at the Terrapins’ 10-yard line. J.J. McCarthy found Luke Schoonmaker on the following play to put Michigan up 7-0.
More like Toughailoa
Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa picked up a key first down when he scrambled toward Michigan’s goal-line, getting his helmet knocked off in the process. Maryland scored two plays later to even the score at 10-10 before the first quarter ended.
Michigan gets a questionable interception
DJ Turner went all out to get the interception to end a promising Maryland drive. FOX Sports rules expert Mike Pereira questioned if it actually was an interception because the ball appeared to hit the ground. The play was not reviewed, though, and Michigan received the ball.
J.J. “Kyler Murray” gets the first down
Possibly inspired by the Cardinals QB’s performance last week, McCarthy ran all over the field in order to get the first down.
No. 5 Clemson at No. 21 Wake Forest
Juggling into the end zone
DJ Uiagalelei threw a 41-yard dart to receiver Brannon Spector, who juggled the ball before securing the catch to give Clemson a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Demon Deacons wake up
Sam Hartman connected with Jahmal Banks for the deep touchdown pass to cut Clemson’s lead to 14-7.
