College Football's Top Plays: Week 4
This week in college football saw the SEC's return to action, with some major upsets across the sport – and apparently it was too much to handle for CFB analyst and former USC superstar Reggie Bush.
Just kidding, Reggie!
Let's check out some of the top moments from the Saturday slate, which included an absolute thriller in Texas, an upset of Oklahoma, Alabama domination, No. 24 Louisville at No. 21 Pittsburgh, No. 23 Kentucky at No. 8 Auburn, and more.
A moment of unity
Prior to kickoff of the SEC's first game, both Ole Miss and Florida took a knee to recognize racial injustice in America.
Deep in the heart of OT in Texas
It took everything the Longhorns had, as Texas trailed by 15 points with less than 3 minutes remaining. But Sam Ehlinger had an epic day with 6 TDs to lead Texas to an incredible 63-56 win in overtime.
There are more individual highlights from the game below, but for now, let's all sit back and watch all 6 of Ehlinger's scores – and check out how social media reacted to the thriller.

No. 8 Texas Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger racked up 332 total yards and six total TDs in a wild 63-56 OT win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas managed to score 15 points in the final three minutes to send the game to OT.
Rattler gets rattled
Things did not go the Sooners' way on Saturday.
On Oklahoma's first series of the game, K-State intercepted first-year Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler, marking his first interception of the season and of his short career as a Sooner.
Now, the Oklahoma QB had some solid plays on Saturday, including a gorgeous TD pass to give Oklahoma an early lead ...

Spencer Rattler throws an 11-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims to give the Oklahoma Sooners the early lead over the Kansas State Wildcats, 7-0
But his 3 INTs also opened the door for Kansas State to pull off the stunning upset of the No. 3 Sooners.
That's an 'uh oh'
Iowa State QB Brock Purdy made a costly mistake, and TCU safety La'Kendrick Van Zandt scooped and scored it for the Horned Frogs on an absolutely zany series of events.
We're still wondering what happened.
The questions continue ...
Sometimes keeping it simple is the best option.
Florida State attempted a double-pass, and ended with an interception.
Yikes.
SEC, say hello to the Air Raid
Mike Leach delivered.
What a toss to kick off the Air Raid era down south.
Mississippi State does work on the ground, too
Bulldogs RB Kylin Hill had 18 receptions for 180 yards and 1 TD in 13 games last season.
In the first game of 2020 against LSU: 8 receptions for 158 yards and 1 TD.
Spoiler alert: Mississippi State pulled off the dub with big plays like this.
We want some Moore of it
Longhorns WR Joshua Moore grabbed the 31-yard frozen rope from his QB Sam Ehlinger in contested territory.

Watch Sam Ehlinger get his second total TD of the game. He tossed a 31-yard TD to Joshua Moore that put the Texas Longhorns ahead of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 17-7.
Special teams stealing opportunities
Texas Tech took a play out of their neighbor Dallas' playbook with the recovered onside kick.
Double coverage is always dangerous.
Grab and toe-tap
This catch just speaks for itself.
But unfortunately, all their plays weren't enough as the Red Raiders fell to their rivals in OT.
Three house calls to complete the day
We knew Breece was going to keep breezin' past the TCU defense.
Hall racked up 154 yards this afternoon en route to victory. Meanwhile, TCU held six teams to less than 100 yards rushing last year.
Go up and get it
Auburn WR Seth Williams leaped and locked it for the TD.
This man was a serious problem for DBs on Saturday.
The one-hander
We repeat, Williams is a full-grown man.
Williams opened his junior season with highlight-reel plays in the Tigers victory.
As the day comes to a close, here are a few more final scores – courtesy of the teams celebrating their Ws.
