Napier led Florida to a big upset win over Tennessee in Gainesville on Saturday. The Gators dominated from start-to-finish and ultimately won 29-16. The win gives Florida a 1-0 start to SEC play this season.
Drinkwitz also pulled off a big upset this week. Missouri defeated then-No. 15 Kansas State on a last-second, 61-yard field goal. The Tigers are now 3-0 on the season and halfway to bowl eligibility.
Weis’ offense at Ole Miss continues to impress. The Rebels rushed for 5 touchdowns and put up 48 points against Georgia Tech in Week 3. Ole Miss is averaging 8.19 yards per play so far this season, which is the most in the SEC.
Herbstreit and the College GameDay crew will be back on the air on Saturday in South Bend as they preview Week 4.
