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

Tanner Magnum did it again. The Cougars were down four with just 45 seconds remaining. This long touchdown pass put BYU on top and was reminiscent of last week’s Hail Mary. The Cougars sealed the victory with a pick-six on defense.


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.


Virginia Led Notre Dame 27-26

Virginia takes the lead against Notre Dame with less than two minutes remaining in the game. We will see if Notre Dame backup quarterback DeShone Kizer can lead the team on a game-winning drive.


Malik Zaire Suffered Nasty Ankle Injury

Malik Zaire was running with the ball late in the third quarter when his ankle turned on the play above. There is no word yet on the severity of the injury but it does not look good based on the replay. We will update you as soon as we know more.

Zaire had 115 yards passing and 87 yards rushing. Notre Dame trailed Virginia midway through the third quarter, but now lead 26-21 at the start of the fourth quarter. DeShone Kizer takes over at quarterback for the Irish.

Zaire is coming off an amazing performance against the Texas Longhorns in last week’s 38-3 victory. He was 19-of-22 for 313 yards and 3 touchdowns.

In the video below you can see Zaire being carted off the field:
