Franks made up for three inexcusable turnovers by accounting for three touchdowns, doing just enough to help the eighth-ranked Gators beat rival Miami 24-20 Saturday night in a wild and wacky opening game of the college football season. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401110723

Mond accounts for 4 TDs at No. 12 A&M routs Texas St. 41-7 With Texas A&M's date against No. 1 Clemson looming next week, it would have been easy for the Aggies to take 33 1/2-point underdog Texas State lightly.

We're not going to do that ... you've got to learn to play the game at hand and I thought they did that." Kellen Mond threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score in just more than three quarters, and Texas A&M had four interceptions in the 41-7 rout. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401110731
