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)

Following win vs Bulls, Cavs now have NBA’s best record:

at home
on road

vs .500+

Just incredible

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)

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.

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.”

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)
November 22, 2024 at 2:42 AM
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.
November 22, 2024 at 2:24 AM
Have the Browns ever played a normal game?
November 17, 2024 at 8:02 PM
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)

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