It wasn’t the prettiest game to watch, but the implications of it were huge. Michigan State toppled Ohio State on Saturday thanks to Michael Geiger’s walk-off field goal, and now the Spartans are right back in the College Football Playoff hunt while the Buckeyes are in trouble. ESPN’s cameras did an excellent job capturing the indredible reactions from both teams following the kick, further proving the emotions surrounding the big game. There’s simply pure joy from the Spartans side while watching Urban Meyer walk on the field after the kick is a bit sad.

While the Hokies lost to the Tar Heels on Saturday, there was still room for them to celebrate during the day. The Week 12 contest marked legendary Hokies coach Frank Beamer’s final home game; he announced earlier in November that he planned to step down at the end of the season. The Virginia Tech program and fan base did a fantastic job expressing their gratitude for the winningest active coach in FBS before Saturday’s game.
Mizzou players carry Gary Pinkel off the field
Beamer wasn’t the only top coach to man the sidelines for his final home game on Saturday, as Missouri’s Gary Pinkel coached his last game at Faurot Field. The all-time winningest coach in Missouri history announced earlier in November he would be retire following the season after being diagnosed with lymphoma in May. While Missouri fell to Tennessee 19-8, the result rightfully didn’t stop Pinkel’s players from honoring him following the game.
Clemson player proposes after senior day introduction
