College football scores, games, updates: Kentucky stuns Ole Miss in Oxford

Vaseline 6 days ago

The biggest game of the season (so far) is just around the corner.

No. 2 Georgia visits No. 4 Alabama on Saturday night in the first top-five game of the season. It’s the last of four ranked matchups during a loaded Week 5 slate.

However, the biggest achievement of the day came early on Saturday. Kentucky went into Oxford against No. 6 Ole Miss and stunned the Rebels, 20-17, in a back-and-forth affair that ended with a botched field goal that would have tied the score.

Here are the biggest games of the day. Follow along as we break down all the action below.

Time: 3:30 PM | TV: Peacock | Line: Notre Dame -6 | Total: 45.5

The Cardinals won at home over the Irish a season ago. And one wonders if Louisville is better this season than it will be in 2023. Former Oregon and Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough has been very good so far this season, completing over 68% of his passes for eight touchdowns and no interceptions. Notre Dame is still looking to rely on Riley Leonard through the air to complement a dominant four-game stretch despite injuries along the offensive line.

Time: 7:30 PM | Television: NBC | Line: Penn State -18 | Total: 47.5

The Illini defeated previously undefeated Nebraska in overtime in Week 4, marking only the third time since 1951 that Illinois has won its first four games. A big reason for that is the improved play of former Ole Miss QB Luke Altmyer. Can he keep that up on the road against Penn State? Opposing QBs are averaging just 144 yards per game against the Nittany Lions.

Time: 7:30 PM | Television: ABC | Line: Georgia -1.5 | Total: 48.5

This matchup of perennial playoff teams features two Heisman contenders at quarterback. No QB is responsible for more TDs per game than Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, and Carson Beck spent much of the offseason as the favorite for the award. Beck’s 2024 season hasn’t lived up to the Heisman hype yet, but it won’t be a surprise if Beck has a big game.

Time: 10:00 PM | Television: FS1 | Line: Boise State -7.5 | Total: 64.5

Washington State is on the precipice of the AP Top 25 after a 4-0 start, including wins over Texas Tech, and Washington and QB John Mateer are swinging it. But the Cougars’ defense is allowing nearly five yards per carry — that’s a tasty stat for Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, who leads the nation with an average of 10.5 yards per carry. There’s a reason he’s the non-QB with the best Heisman odds (+2000) at BetMGM.

    What a state of affairs in Oxford! Kentucky’s Gavin Wimsatt fumbles the ball on a goalie play, but his teammate falls on it in the end zone to give the Wildcats a 20-17 lead.

  • Minnesota stages a comeback bid

    We have a development in Ann Arbor. The Gophers scored to cut a two-touchdown deficit early in the fourth quarter, then Koi Perich did some serious work with a 60-yard punt return. Minnesota scored soon after to make it a one-score game.

  • K-State Interception!

    OSU quarterback Alan Bowman throws his third interception of the game, this time to KSU’s Jacob Parrish, who makes a beautiful contested pick in the end zone.

    That’s the end of the third quarter. The state of Kansas withdraws.

  • K-State Touchdown

    The Wildcats may have just ended this one early. Avery Johnson finds Will Anciaux with a jump pass at the goal line to take a three-score lead over the Cowboys.

  • Ole Miss ties it up

    The Rebels tied things up at 10-10 with their opening possession of the second half.

    The Wildcats’ game plan so far is clear: run, run, run some more. Will one possession be enough to topple Ole Miss in Oxford, or will they have to take to the air to stay in it?

  • Touchdown State Kansas!

    After a quick three-and-out from OK State, Kansas State takes over and DJ Giddens sprints through the OSU defense for a 66-yard touchdown.

    That’s 153 rushing yards for Giddens just two minutes into the second quarter, and the Wildcats lead 28-13.

  • We’re back for the second half of Ole Miss-Kentucky and OK State-Kansas State. The Rebels and Cowboys start their respective games with the ball.
