Including 3.0 in 1st half today, Myles Garrett now has 10.0 career sacks against Lamar Jackson.

Joe Burrow (11.0) is the only QB Garrett has sacked more often.

Seasons 10-game win streak AND 10-game losing streak this century:

Guardians: 2 (2008, 2025)
Rest of MLB combined: 2 (2004 Rays, 2017 Dodgers)

Ohio State's most in a single week since 2000 is 9:

- 2024 Week 9 (Nick Vannett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba x2, Garrett Wilson x2, Terry McLaurin x2, J.K. Dobbins x2)

- 2000 Week 12 (Cris Carter, David Boston, Jeff Graham x2, Robert Smith x2, Eddie George x3)

Entering SNF, Ohio St alums have scored 7 TD in Week 1 (Fields x2, Egbuka x2, Dobbins, Wilson, Harrison Jr.).

Most by 1 school in a single week this century:

- Week 1: 10 by Alabama players in 2019

- Any week: 13 by Alabama in 2021 (Week 6)

Saturday, Julian Sayin will become the 1st Ohio State QB to ever make his starting debut against the AP No. 1 team.

No Buckeye QB has made his starting debut against an AP Top-5 team since Art Schlichter in 1978.

Guardians have scored more runs in 2 games in Houston (17) than they did in the entirety of their 10-game losing streak entering the series (15)

Not groundbreaking, but Ohio State penalties have played a key role when opponents have gotten stops against the OSU offense in the playoff.

OSU in the 2024 CFP:

- Drives with at least OSU 1 penalty: 9 drives, 2 TD, 0 FG
- Drives with no OSU penalties: 26 drives, 12 TD, 2 FG

Per TruMedia: Ravens DT Michael Pierce (listed 355 lbs) is the heaviest player with an INT in an NFL game this century.

Previous high was 354-lb DT Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton (INTs in 2010 for Jaguars and 2013 for Broncos).

Before today vs. Ohio State, Oregon hadn't opened a game with back-to-back 3-and-outs since Sept. 7 vs. Boise State.

Alabama's ReliaQuest Bowl loss means it finishes with fewer than 10 wins for 1st time since 2007.

Tide's 16 straight 10-win seasons was an FBS record.

New active leaders: Oregon, Ohio State and Georgia (4 straight)

Chiefs offense benefitting from Travis Kelce’s new signature move: The lateral Kelce laterals more than most NFL teams, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid says he's OK with that — "just as long as you complete them.”

New story. The Chiefs are benefitting from Travis Kelce’s new signature move: The lateral pass.

Kelce has lateraled the ball more than most NFL teams have in the past 6 years, with @starrettjason.bsky.social data help.

On how Kelce mastered the art of his trick.

Jameis Winston is the 1st Browns QB with at least 400 pass yds and 4 pass TD in a game since Kelly Holcomb in Week 12 of 2004 against the Bengals.

More pass yards for Jameis Winston than Deshaun Watson had in all but 2 full games with Browns

If Auburn rallies to beat Texas A&M, 3 ranked SEC teams (Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas A&M) will have lost to unranked conf opp (Oklahoma, Florida, Auburn) Saturday.

SEC hasn't had 3 ranked teams lose to unranked conf opp on the same day since Sept. 30, 2000.

(per TruMedia)

Alabama trails Oklahoma 24-3...

Tide haven't lost to an unranked team by 21+ points since the 1998 Music City Bowl against Virginia Tech (38-7).

No Browns player had 3+ sacks in a half from 1999 through Halloween 2024.

Myles Garrett now has 2 such halves in November.

(1st half Thu. vs. Steelers & 1st half Week 9 vs. Chargers)

Browns settle for a FG to go up 10-3 on the Steelers.

Cleveland and the Patriots remain the only teams yet to score TDs on back-to-back drives in a game this season.

Have the Browns ever played a normal game?

Alabama (4) is now the only FBS team with more halftime leads vs AP-ranked opponents than Wisconsin (3) this season.

Tide won 3 of 4. Badgers lost their 1st 2 (at USC, vs. Penn St).

Brian Kelly is the 4th LSU head coach to lose at least 3 straight games within a season since 1999.

The previous 3 were all let go within 12 months of the streak:

2021 Ed Orgeron (fired in-season)
2015 Les Miles (fired early 2016)
1999 Gerry DiNardo (fired in-season)

Ashton Jeanty lol

Are college football road night games tougher than all the rest?

Georgia has not lost a home night game since 2009. That got me wondering: How much of that is truly the night game effect?
