TWTW: Upsets And People Just Upset... Oklahoma, LSU, Clemson, East Carolina

The HQ knows that, after this Saturday, we won't hear the end of it from Coach Tub after his upset win in Norman over Oklahoma...

The 39-game home streak is, officially, kaput...

So much for that whole "national title" idea at OU...

Rueben Randle caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Jordan Jefferson and a 46-yard touchdown pass from Jarrett Lee. LSU blew out Auburn 45-10...

It was the most points scored by LSU over any Auburn team and it was the 4th-worst loss by a defending national champ in the next year...

LSU will now get Alabama in prime time in two weeks...

Clemson honored its 1981 National Championship football team at Death Valley Saturday, and the 2011 Clemson Tigers tied one of its records.

"Points in a quarter" with 35 in the third, while the defense forced six turnovers in a 59-38 victory over North Carolina.

The 1981 team scored 35 points in the second quarter of its 82-24 victory over Wake Forest on Halloween of that year. The 2011 Tigers also joined the 1981 team as well as the 1948 and 2000 teams as the only squads to start a football season with eight straight wins.

And over at East Carolina, QB Dominique Davis set a first-half record for completions in a row connecting on all 26 of his first-half throws to extend his streak to 36 straight over two games when they beat Navy 38-35.

It was set in 1998 by Tee Martin of Tennessee against South Carolina and tied in 2004 by Aaron Rodgers of California versus Southern California.

Davis completed his final 10 passes against Memphis last week, so his stunning first half against Navy gave him 36 completions in a row - breaking the NCAA mark of 26 set by Rodgers in 2004.
