College football today -- Week 3 updates, highlights, biggest moments and more - ESPN

4:48 PM ET

  • ESPN staff

We've got a lot in store for Week 3, and the thing we're probably looking forward to most is Penn State hosting Auburn because of the White Out. But there's sure to be plenty of other highlights from Saturday's action.

Come back here throughout the day for the latest results, reaction and revelry from throughout the land.

Alabama's 26-23 comeback win over Georgia in 2017's national championship game was historic for a number of reasons. It was an incredible game, for starters, and it was the coming-out party for maybe the greatest recruiting class in the history of college football: Bama's 2017 class, which won two national titles and boasted eight first-round draft picks, two Biletnikoff winners, three Heisman finalists (one winner) and two current NFL starting quarterbacks.

It was also virtually the last time Bama had to win a game primarily with defense. Since the start of the 2018 season, Alabama has scored at least 31 points in 40 of 43 games -- 12 of 15 in 2018 and 28 of 28 since. The Tide have allowed more than 31 points just six times in that span, 40-plus in their only three losses (vs. Clemson in 2018 and vs. LSU and Auburn in 2019). Read more from Bill Connelly's Week 3 preview (ESPN+).

Play of the day

This interception from D.J. Graham might just be the most impressive play we have seen this whole football season.

Come on. Just look at Spencer Rattler's reaction.

Wait, who's at the game?

Troy Aikman and Barry Switzer are just chatting it up at the Nebraska-Oklahoma game.

Look who else showed up. Trae Young himself.

And of course he is decked out in a Malcolm Kelly jersey.

The VP is in the building. Kamala Harris led the coin toss between Howard and Hampton for the inaugural Truth and Service Classic.

Auburn-Penn State hasn't gotten underway yet, but Saquon Barkley is READY.

Oooh, burn!

This is one of the best troll jobs we've seen today with West Virginia taking down Virginia Tech.

Michigan State wasn't messing around against Miami, and its social team had a real nice time with the road win.

Michigan State legend Magic Johnson had some thoughts about the game, too, though he was just more excited about the win.

*Shakes head but still laughs at IndiaNAHHHHH.*

Scene in the stands

OK. What on earth are the Indiana Hoosiers fans doing?

Let's get ready for the White Out! Along with many other college football traditions we didn't get to experience last season, this was certainly one of the most missed. And we can't wait for what it's going to look like against Auburn.

Look at these fans days before the game! All hyped up and ready to go.

And over on the drum beat (get it?), Purdue's marching band won't be able to bring its huge drum to the Notre Dame game, which yes, is an important storyline.

But hey! The drum did make the trip it South Bend.

And in remembrance of the drum's absence, the marching band decided to form the shape of the drum on the filed at halftime, which we gotta say is real clever.

On the ground with GameDay

Penn State fans brought their A game to the set today. Check out the best GameDay signs from this morning.

And since we know you are wondering, check out the latest on the Miami cat.

The best catch from Week 2 of college football didn't happen on the field - but in the stands - as a cat found itself hanging from a balcony at Hard Rock Stadium.

And Corso's pick is ...

1:14

Lee Corso makes his pick for the White Out matchup between No. 22 ranked Auburn vs. No. 10 Penn State.

Litigate like a champion today

A licensing agreement was finalized between the trademark "Play Like A Champion Today" -- owned by former Irish coach Lou Holtz -- and Notre Dame. Legendary Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer was quick to point out that Oklahoma's use of the phrase predates Notre Dame's by several decades. But hey, all is fair in love and trademark law.

Friendly wagers

All right: Here's the deal. If Florida loses to Alabama by less than three touchdowns, Stephen A. Smith has to wear a Gators tie. But just saying, if UF were to somehow pull off a road win, the price should be a lot steeper than just a tie. (ESPN's Football Power Index gives Alabama a 71.4% chance to win the game.)

Uniform updates

Virginia is getting icy with its threads this weekend.

And Greenie is BACK!

Stony Brook just got real creative with its uniform announcement.

More uniform updates can be found here.

More must-see

This is how you make a statement.

0:43

Tre Tucker is off to the races with a 99-yard kickoff return for a Cincinnati touchdown.

We could watch this sort of score all daylong.

play

0:37

Michigan goes up 35-3 after Cade McNamara drops a dime to Cornelius Johnson for the 87-yard touchdown.

Nebraska fans look away. OU fans, please take joy in this.

Someone had to call them out for these outfit choices, so who better than Lane Kiffin.

Now, this is why you need to pick up the ball with both hands.

Give us some of what Maryland is drinking.

Friday night gave us a wild showdown between UCF and Louisville and the game ended on this pick-6.

play

1:20

Dillon Gabriel has his pass intercepted by Jaylin Alderman and returned 66 yards for a touchdown to give Louisville a 42-35 lead with 13 seconds left in the game.
