Week 4 of the college football season features the start of conference play for many teams and it shouldn’t disappoint based off the slate of games.
Clemson got things started off with a thorough domination of conference rival NC State, going off for 45 points in the first half for an easy win that shows it’s right there in the mix with Miami at the top of the ACC.
The early games also featured some history making. James Madison scored more points in the first half against North Carolina than it ever had before in a wild 70-50 upset (UNC had also never allowed that many points in a half before Saturday). Later, Temple kicker Maddux Trujillo drilled a 64-yard field goal — the longest kick in 16 years and just one yard shy of Martin Gramatica’s record.
The big SEC showdown between Tennessee and Oklahoma is the highlight of Saturday’s night games.

Former Oklahoma QB and assistant Josh Heupel returns to Norman as the Volunteers’ head coach on Saturday night. UT QB Nico Iamaleava has become an early Heisman favorite with his play so far, and that high-powered offense will put the pressure on Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold to get things going in the passing game.
