Ball State, Heisman candidates, Division II goes big and WNBA history - Oct 06, 2008

- Perhaps the most impressive win of the weekend was fourth-ranked Missouri going on the road and defeating Nebraska, 52-17. The Tigers hadn't won in Lincoln in 30 years, and Missouri's Chase Daniel has to be one of the Heisman Trophy favorites at this point in the season. If Daniel doesn't come away with the Heisman, at least Warren Buffett is on his side.
- Texas Tech's Graham Harrell might have something to say about the Heisman. The senior threw for six touchdowns and ran for one in leading the Red Raiders in a 58-28 win over Kansas State. Who is your Heisman frontrunner right now?
- The most exciting ending of the weekend probably occurred in Cornell's 25-24 win over Lehigh. Cornell's Nathan Ford connected with Jesse Baker on a 20-yard completion as time expired for the Ivy League win.
- College towns are well known for great and unique local eateries. One of those places is Dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home to the Crimson Tide. The restaurant has been in existence since Paul "Bear" Bryant's days in the late 1950. What local establishment makes your college town unique?
