Louisville wins convincingly on the road
K-State was a challenge. With a backup quarterback in, Louisville couldn't afford a letdown. They ended up trouncing K-State defensively. The Wildcats rushed for over a hundred yards, but most of that was on one 69-yard play. Louisville is one of the best teams at stopping the run, and they did that most of the day.
Meanwhile, Kentucky did what they do best: Lose on the road to Florida. If it were possible to play just a half of football, the Wildcats might have gotten a moral victory. But they were ground into paste in the second half. Was this a corner-turning game for this moribund program? Only time will tell. A bowl bid still seems possible if they can win over the unranked teams on their schedule.

Bengals surprise Steelers
What an odd game. It seemed like the Steelers were in control. Then they started coughing the ball up, and suddenly the Bengals had put two quick TD's on the board and the Steelers were playing catch-up. They almost did it. The Bengals went into a weak prevent defense and let the Steelers march all the way down the field to where they were taking shots at the endzone down by eight. But a final pick sealed it.
The Bengals are now two games up on the Steelers, and are at 3-0, having won twice on the road.
