Vince Young leads the Eagles over New York, 17-10, stay alive in the playoff race

The Philadelphia Eagles pulled past the New York Giants at Metlife Stadium to stay alive in the NFC East. Vince Young looked a bit sloppy, but he orchestrated a sharp and impressive drive to give Philly a 17-10 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Manning and New York came out firing, but Eli fumbled the ball and the Eagles recovered the ball to end the game. The game showed the Eagles pulling throughout the 4th quarter; however, one win against the division leaders won't save Philly.

Arizona stuns ASU in Tempe, 31-27

Even though Arizona is a disappointing 3-8, nothing is more disappointing than losing the Territorial Cup to your arch-rivals. The Sun devils let up the Territorial Cup to the Wildcats as they also let up a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter. The Sun devils fell behind early but regained the lead at 27-17. The most penalized team in the PAC 12 had many personal foul penalties even though they played at Sun devil Stadium. Nick Foles passed a TD to GinoCrump to pull within three at 10 minutes in the 4th quarter. In their next possession, Foles got knocked out and Senior QB Bryson Beirne stepped in at QB. He only threw one pass, but the pass proved to be the most important pass of his life as Juron criner caught it for a 23 yard TD. Osweiler then threw an INT to Jourdan Grandon, but the Sun devils got the ball back. osweiler drove down the field to the Cats Red Zone, but Shaquille Richardson broke up the last pass to Gerell Robinson as the time expired.

Baylor upsets Oklahoma, 45-38

RG3 and the Baylor Bears upset the #5 Oklahoma Sooners as Bob Stoop's team was eliminated from National Championship contention Saturday night. Landry Jones was outperformed by a new Heisman contender, Robert Griffin III. Griffin threw for 479 yards and four touchdowns, including a 34-yarder to Terrance Williams with 8 seconds left. The upset in Waco delivered a huge blow to the Sooners as they drop to 8-2 and Baylor goes to 7-3.

USC upsets Oregon, 38-35

USC Junior QB, Matt Barkley, passed for 323 yards and 4 TDs as the Bowl-ineligible Trojans upset the 4th ranked Oregon Ducks in Eugene's Autzen Stadium on Black-out night. USC gave Oregon more than a black eye as the Ducks were eliminated from the National Championship picture. The Ducks couldn't get a handle of anything as they fumbled multiple times. They had a chance to tie, but they missed a would be game-tying field goal at the end of regulation. The Ducks can still clinch a spot in the PAC 12 Championship game with a win in the Civil War against Oregon State.

Oklahoma State collapses in 2OT at Iowa State, 37-31

Ty Barnett and the Iowa State Cyclones put up an impressive performance as they upset the number 2 team in the country on Friday night. The Cyclones dashed all hopes of Oklahoma State making it to the National Championship game, but they did have chances to win. When it comes to College Football, it's always the kicker that has to take the blame. Quinn Sharp missed a would-be game-winner in regulation, but the game went into OT and ISU won. Brandon Weeden probably won't win the Heisman now that OSU isn't going to the National Championship.

Number 15 Arizona beat by Miss St, 67-57

Miss St stifled the Cats offense as the Bulldogs contained Arizona all night. Sean Miller's team never got the lead but were close at the half. In the second half however, the Bulldogs continued to outmuscle Arizona as they walked away with a ten point win and the 2K Sports title. The Bulldogs will likely move into the polls, whereas Arizona will drop after facing their first loss of the season.

Cats rally past St. johns, 82-73

The Arizona Wildcats showed poise and resiliency in Madison Square Garden against Steve Lavin's St. Johns team. The Cats got to an early but lost it after halftime. With eight minutes to go, the Cats went on a huge run to come back from an eight point deficit to win 82-73. The Seniors showed poise down the stretch and this game said a lot about the team. Arizona's guard play was exceptional as they hit 14 threes but they'll need the big men to work if they want to beat Miss St in the 2K Classic.
