Stunned: The Nittany Lions Can't Escape the Blows from the Hawkeyes

Stunned. Shocked. Broken. These words all described the feelings of the Penn State Nittany Lions after their loss to underdog Iowa. Penn State was undefeated heading to Iowa, and left as just another one-loss team. The Lions were favored by many to go undefeated and play in the BCS National Title game. All hopes were lost Saturday as the Nittany Lions were stunned by the Iowa Hawkeyes on a last second field goal, 24-23. Once again Shonn Greene led the attack for the Hawkeyes as he racked up 117 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Greene has rushed for over 100 yards in every game this and is the nations' third leading rusher. With Penn State choking, could the other two undefeated teams keep their streaks alive?

The number one ranked Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Death Valley to battle the defending national champion, LSU Tigers. This game was full of excitement and storylines. It was Nick Saban's first time going back to Baton Rouge since he left the Tigers for the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Saban and his Tide were able to avoid all the distractions and escape with a 27-21 overtime victory. The Crimson Tide was able to score in overtime off of a John Parker Wilson's touchdown run and wrap up the SEC West. With this win, it means that they will battle Florida in the SEC Championship.

The undefeated Texas Tech Red Raiders made the biggest statement of the weekend. The Red Raiders battled the ninth ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys in Lubbock on Saturday night and gave them a Texas style beat down. Texas Tech punted on their first possession and never looked back from there, as they scored touchdowns on their next seven possessions. The Red Raiders demolished the Cowboys, 56-20, further submitting themselves as one of the best teams in the country. Graham Harrell continued to improve on his run for the Heisman with six touchdown passes (By the way Michael Crabtree caught three of those). It will be very interesting to see if the Red Raiders can run the table as the battle the Oklahoma Sooners in two weeks.
