A wild weekend in college football saw one of the most incredible catches in recent memory and quite possibly the most bizarre ending to a football game that didn’t involve the Stanford band—and another 180 yards from Leonard Fournette. On to the recap…
Let’s start with a catch that I still can’t wrap my head around.

This is the best summation I’ve seen of Auburn and Kentucky’s football seasons.
Auburn may not be good, but you're still Kentucky. #WarEagle

I prefer racing to college football because my alma mater frequently chop-blocks its own teammates. #iufb #ncaafb pic.twitter.com/0JEZnRK1Mq

I would love a setup like this for Saturday mornings and the Premier League then to carry into the afternoon with football. Would be crazy.

Les Miles, y'all. LSU takes a 35-28 on a fake field goal. Holder TD pass to the kicker. Unreal.

Tom Cruise is all like, I want to play this Les Miles guy. He does all his own stunts, too. #FLAvsLSU

And then there was the Big House Big Fumbled Punt Snap.
Too early, Dan. You tweeted too early!!!
Michigan struggled at times getting pressure on Cook, but kept getting there on that drive. May have won them the game.

My Twitter stream went into meltdown mode. Here were my favorites:

MSU's win was the most improbable ending in the last 5 seasons (had 0.2% chance of winning). Beats UCF Hail Mary over ECU last year (0.7%)
