Of course, that means <strong>surprising results <\/strong>and important storylines. Here are some of the top headlines coming out of the third week of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gator-chomp\">Gator Chomp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida Gators made an impressive comeback against Kentucky on Saturday night, but they had to do it without starting quarterback Feleipe Franks, which is something they&#8217;ll have to get used to moving forward. Franks <strong>dislocated his right ankle<\/strong> during the third quarter for the game, an injury that could potentially keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They feel pretty certain that there was a break with the dislocation and <strong>he&#8217;ll be done for the season<\/strong>,&#8221; Florida coach Dan Mullen said after the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Franks <strong>suffered the injury<\/strong> after being tackled both behind and in front while scrambling. The injury looked gruesome at the time, and Franks&#8217; teammates surrounded him as he was being carted off the field, sensing that it was a serious injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backup Kyle Trask entered the game and <strong>led Florida to the comeback<\/strong>. The Gators outscored Kentucky 19-0 in the fourth quarter to win 29-21. With Franks out, it&#8217;ll be Trask&#8217;s job moving forward with the Gators set to host Tennessee next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-make-of-the-trojans\">What To Make of the Trojans?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In just three weeks, the USC Trojans have had <strong>a rollercoaster of a season<\/strong>. First, the fanbase was displeased during an eight-point win over Fresno State in the season opener in a game that saw starting quarterback JT Daniels suffer a season-ending injury. Last week, all was right in the world after new quarterback Kedon Slovis led a comeback victory over rival Stanford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that rollercoaster went screaming down the hill Saturday, as the Trojans fell to BYU in overtime. USC <strong>held a fourth-quarter lead <\/strong>it couldn&#8217;t hold, and Slovis threw three interceptions, including the game-sealing pick in overtime, as the Trojans suffered their first loss of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USC now faces <strong>the most difficult part of its schedule<\/strong>, as it hosts Utah next week and visits Washington the following week. That rough three-game stretch concludes the second weekend of October with a trip to Notre Dame, so the Trojans&#8217; recent inconsistency could lead to more losses in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To BYU&#8217;s credit, they<strong> beat a power-conference opponent <\/strong>in overtime for the second week in a row after an unlikely comeback over Tennessee last week. Heading into the season, the Cougars knew they&#8217;d play Utah, Tennessee, USC, and Washington in the first month of the season, making a 0-4 start a distinct possibility. However, BYU now has a chance to go 3-1 when it hosts Washington next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"seeing-pink\">Seeing Pink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Georgia Bulldogs beat Arkansas State 55-0 on Saturday, but the Georgia faithful made sure Arkansas State head coach Blake Anderson felt loved and supported. Anderson lost his wife Wendy just before the start of the season following<strong> a two-year fight with breast cancer<\/strong>. To honor her, Georgia fans organized a &#8220;pink out&#8221; to help raise awareness for breast cancer. Anderson was emotional in thanking the Georgia fans, almost finding it difficult to focus on the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I would say thank you to all those who showed up today wearing pink or thinking pink,&#8221; said Anderson. &#8220;They don&#8217;t know my wife, and they don&#8217;t know me, and they didn&#8217;t have to do it. <strong>I&#8217;m very grateful and honored<\/strong> and obviously overwhelmed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be<strong> a Georgia fan<\/strong> the rest of my life,&#8221; added Arkansas State center Jacob Still.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was just another normal college football Saturday.
