Final Scores
College football’s Week 2 proved to be both interesting and entertaining. There were threats of upsets like Jacksonville State against Auburn. There were actual upsets such as Toldeo’s victory over Arkansas. Finally, marquee matchups lived up to the hype we all expected.
Tennessee and Oklahoma went into overtime. Oregon and Michigan State was a hard fought contest that came down to the final minutes. Finally, LSU and Mississippi State was decided by a field goal. All in all it was a great week of college football.
Here are all the key highlights from Week 2:
BYU Beat Boise State on Another Late Touchdown Pass

Oklahoma Had an Amazing Comeback Victory Against Tennessee
Sterling Shepard Had the Game Winning Touchdown
This would turn out to be the game winning touchdown thanks to a Vols interception to end the game. Sooner quarterback Baker Mayfield found Shepard on the sideline and Shepard used his athleticism to find the endzone.
Oklahoma trailed 17-3 midway through the 4th quarter, but Mayfield led them to an improbably overtime victory shocking the Volunteers at Neyland Stadium.
Toledo Shocked Arkansas With Upset Victory
In a stunning development, Toledo upset No. 18 Arkansas 16-12. Toledo led for most of the game and it is a shocking loss for an Arkansas team that some believed would compete for the SEC West.
Long Touchdown Pass Led Notre Dame Over Virginia
The Irish escaped with a shocking victory. Backup Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer throws this long bomb to receiver Will Fuller to go up 34-27 with 12 seconds left in the game. The Irish lost starting quarterback Malik Zaire to an ankle injury earlier in the game. He finished 8-of-12 for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
