Week 4 of the college football season marks the opening week of conference play for many teams, and judging by the game schedule, it shouldn’t disappoint.
Clemson opened the game by thoroughly dominating conference rival North Carolina State, scoring 45 points in the first half on its way to an easy win and proving it can go toe-to-toe with Miami for the ACC lead.
There were some historic moments in the early going, too: James Madison scored the most points ever in a first half against North Carolina, 70-50, in a major upset. (North Carolina had never allowed that many points in a first half until Saturday.) Then Temple kicker Maddux Trujillo booted a 64-yard field goal, the longest kick in 16 years, just one yard shy of tying Martin Gramatica’s record.
The highlight of Saturday night’s game will be a big SEC showdown between Tennessee and Oklahoma.

Former Oklahoma QB and assistant coach Josh Heupel returns to Norman as the Volunteers’ head coach on Saturday night. UT QB Niko Iamareva is the Heisman Trophy frontrunner based on his play so far, and that high-powered offense will put pressure on Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold to get things going in the passing game.
