Week 6 of the college football season offers a handful of intriguing matchups. Laken Litman looks at the top five games to watch this weekend.
There’s a new No. 1 team in the country after what happened last weekend in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In what will go down as one of the all-time great showdowns between Alabama and Georgia, the Crimson Tide sprinted out to a 28-0 lead but had to hold on to beat the Bulldogs, 41-34. Bama entered halftime up 30-7, the Dawgs responded relentlessly in the second half, and they likely would have pulled off a win had it not been for a 17-year-old freshman named Ryan Williams.
in back-to-back road games. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel is proving why he was a Heisman Trophy candidate to start the year and currently leads the country in completion percentage . He has thrown nine touchdowns to just one interception, and as his coach Dan Lanning said last week, Gabriel 'continues to prove that he’s a savvy quarterback.' Defensively, Oregon has been solid. The unit didn’t allow a touchdown vs. the Bruins and has sacked opposing quarterbacks 11 times through four games.
at No. 7 Penn State Penn State hopes to keep its winning momentum going this week. The Nittany Lions didn’t play their best against Illinois, which included too many penalties and missed field goal attempts. Highlights, however, included the running back tandem of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, who combined for 196 rushing yards and two scores in the victory. They’ll be a handful for
’s run defense, which is allowing 107.25 yards per game on the ground. The Bruins, meanwhile, have been struggling. The offense hasn’t scored in six quarters, they’re 1-3, and have lost three straight, including the last two to ranked teams . As was evident in last week’s loss to the Ducks, this defense isn’t well-equipped to see an explosive offense, which Penn State has. This is the program’s first Big Ten road game, and Happy Valley won’t be so welcoming. No. 9 Missouri at No.
