It's Week 6, and it might be the best Saturday of the season yet. There was a complete scoring frenzy in the Red River Rivalry, Ole Miss barely edged out Arkansas 52-51 in another high-scoring affair, and Penn State's loss to Iowa has paved the way for Cincinnati to sneak into the top four. What's left is yet to be determined, but if it's anything like the first half of the day, we can't wait.
Check out all the results, reaction and revelry from throughout the land.
Every Nebraska game ends up a referendum on all things Scott Frost and Cornhuskers -- especially the losses. The Huskers were undeniably exciting and competitive in road losses to unbeaten Oklahoma and Michigan State earlier this season (the loss at Illinois: less exciting), but they still lost, and it was further "proof" that "Frost is not the guy," "Nebraska will never be back," and so on.
For a week, at least, the pressure eases. Or at least, some of it shifts to the opposite sideline. Nebraska is coming off of a 56-7 destruction of Northwestern and has jumped to 22nd in SP+ and 21st in FPI. We can definitively say the Huskers have a good team, albeit one that still falters in close games (5-15 in one-score finishes under Frost and 2-9 in the last 11). Quarterback Adrian Martinez still takes far too many sacks, but he has risen to eighth in Total QBR, and the bend-don't-break Huskers defense has allowed just 1.1 points per possession, seventh in FBS. Read more from Bill Connelly's Week 6 preview (ESPN+).

We'll be watching this on repeat for the rest of the evening. But this is very clearly not the outcome you want when you leap over someone trying to get into the end zone.
