College football scores, games, updates: Kentucky stuns Ole Miss in Oxford
Posted on | Posted on angela

The biggest game of the season (so far) is just around the corner.

No. 2 Georgia will face No. 4 Alabama on Saturday night in the first top-five matchup of the season. It's the last of four ladder matches in Week 5.

However, the biggest result of the day may have been achieved early on Saturday. Kentucky took on No. 6 Ole Miss in Oxford and stunned the Rebels 20-17 in a back-and-forth duel that ended with a missed field goal that would have tied the game.

Here are the biggest games of the day. Follow along as we break down all the action below.

Time: 3:30 p.m. | TV: Peacock | Line: Notre Dame -6 | Overall: 45.5

The Cardinals earned a statement win against the Irish at home a season ago. And it's fair to wonder if Louisville is better this season than it was in 2023. Former Oregon and Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough has been very good so far this season, completing over 68% of his passes for eight touchdowns and no interceptions. Notre Dame is still hoping Riley Leonard can complement its dominant four-game running game through the air, despite injuries along the offensive line.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: NBC | Line: Penn State -18 | Overall: 47.5

The Illini defeated previously undefeated Nebraska in overtime in Week 4, marking just the third time since 1951 that Illinois has won its first four games. A big reason for this is the improved play of former Ole Miss QB Luke Altmyer. Can he keep up on the road against Penn State? Against the Nittany Lions, opposing QBs only average 144 yards per game.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Georgia -1.5 | Overall: 48.5

This clash of perennial playoff teams features two Heisman contenders at quarterback. No QB is responsible for more TDs per game than Alabama's Jalen Milroe, and Carson Beck was considered the favorite for the award for much of the offseason. Beck's 2024 season hasn't lived up to the Heisman hype, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Beck have a big game.

Time: 10pm | TV: FS1 | Line: Boise State -7.5 | Total: 64.5

Washington State is on the precipice of the AP Top 25 after a 4-0 start with wins over Texas Tech and Washington, and QB John Mateer is the winner. But the Cougars' defense is allowing nearly five yards per carry – that's an appetizing statistic for Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty, who leads the country with an average of 10.5 yards per carry. There's a reason he's the non-QB with the best Heisman odds (+2000) at BetMGM.
