Villanova's offense has been decimated by injuries (WR Changa Hodge, TE Ryan Bell, RB Matt Gudzak, QB Zach Bednarczyk) and seeks to play ball control without overwhelming redshirt freshman QB Jack Schetelich ('Nova had 47 rushes and eight pass attempts in his first start against Maine).

#2 Clemson in a battle, trailing Syracuse 27-24 with 8 minutes to go in the game.

Is it just me, or does Syracuse have the ugliest uniforms (the numbers are all stretched out at the bottom). Looks like something out of freakin' grade school.

Is this really happening? If Clemson loses here are they out?

Kids getting ready to storm field

Too bad Clemson lost, but there is a bright side.

By my calculations, here are the longest active non-home winning streaks against P5 competition:

Oklahoma 8
NDSU 5
Georgia 4
Miami 4
Ohio State 4
Wisconsin 4

Yeah, I thought those uniforms looked like the numbers were duct tape.

#8 Washington State down by 14 at half in an almost empty stadium.
