"Indiana was sitting on a 20-10 lead in the fourth quarter against the Penn State Nittany Lions when things got crazy. A Penn State scoring drive followed by a Fernando Mendoza interception and another quick score from Nittany Lions had the Hoosiers looking at their first loss. But Mendoza had some late heroics left and found Omar Cooper Jr. for the game-winning score (and one of the best catches of the year) in the 27-24 win."
"In awful weather, Oregon fell behind late to the Iowa Hawkeyes and had to drive the field with less than two minutes to kick the game-winning field in the 18-16 game. Facing the LSU Tigers, in their first game since the firing of Brian Kelly, the Alabama Crimson Tide forced two turnovers and held LSU under 300 total yards. In the 20-9 win, Tide QB Ty Simpson threw for 277 yards and a touchdown."
