Two games to watch Friday night, both highly entertaining. The first was #22 Nebraska (3-0) and #24 Illinois (3-0). In overtime, Illinois scored a touchdown on two plays. Nebraska started 25 yards from the goal line and went the wrong way. A procedure penalty on first down was just the beginning. The Huskers ended up close to their own 41 at one point, almost sixty yards from the goal line. Illinois 31, Nebraska 24.
The second game didn't end until 2:30am eastern time. San Jose State (3-0) played at Washington State (3-0). SJSU led by 14 starting the fourth quarter but WSU scored three touchdowns and held a six point lead at the two-minute mark. SJSU scored a touchdown and two-point conversion to lead by three with about thirty seconds left. WSU kicked a tying field goal as regulation time expired.
In the first overtime San Jose won the toss and threw an interception. All Washington State needed was a field goal to win. Instead, the Cougars also threw an interception and forced a second OT. WSU scored a touchdown and converted a mandatory 2-point conversion. SJSU scored a touchdown, but failed on the point after try. Final score WSU 54, SJSU 52. I don't know what the over/under was, but I'd guess it was less than 106.
