It's Week 11 of a college football season like no other. We have trouble differentiating days, but we always know when it's Saturday.

This one took forever to get here. And we have seen some major players sidelined this week, from Alabama to Ohio State to Georgia to Texas A&M -- and even the scrappy Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina.

But Week 11 has also already given us one of the season's best comebacks and highlights with Western Michigan's fake-spike TD on Wednesday night.

There's more where that came from with a full day of college football ahead of us. We'll be watching for all the highlights and results from Top 25 games.

No. 25 Louisiana 38, South Alabama 10

Louisiana was averaging only three points per game in the first quarter, but the Ragin' Cajuns scored TDs on four of their first five drives and cruised to an easy win. They rushed for 254 yards and threw for 252, with just about everyone getting involved -- seven players had a carry and 12 caught a pass. The win moves them to 7-1, and they should be 9-1 when they head to Appalachian State on Dec. 4. -- Bill Connelly

No. 9 Miami 25, Virginia Tech 24

For a second straight week, Miami needed a fourth-quarter comeback to win. This time, it happened against longtime Big East/ACC Coastal Division rival Virginia Tech, a team that controlled the line of scrimmage for vast swaths of the game. But when it mattered most, the difference-maker once again was Miami quarterback D'Eriq King. His 36-yard touchdown pass to Mark Pope with 5:59 left in the game was the final score in the Hurricanes 25-24 win. Miami was missing 13 players, including two starters on the offensive line and starting linebacker Zach McCloud. In most seasons, Miami would find a way to lose a game like this, but in this most unusual 2020 season, Miami keeps finding ways to win. -- Andrea Adelson

No. 10 Indiana 24, Michigan State 0

With their win over the Spartans on Saturday, the Hoosiers won their first game as a top-10 team since 1967, when Indiana beat Michigan State. Despite two interceptions off of quarterback Michael Penix Jr., there wasn't much you can point to that Indiana really needs to improve on. And those turnovers didn't equate to points, so even that is nitpicking. Penix threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns, and the Indiana defense held Michigan State to just 191 total yards. Another impressive win for the Hoosiers. -- Tom VanHaaren

No. 16 Marshall 42, Middle Tennessee 14

Marshall broke a 7-7 tie with a 21-0 run late in the first half and early in the second, then rolled to a 7-0 record with a host of big plays. Grant Wells threw for 336 yards and five touchdowns -- two each to Willie Johnson and Corey Gammage -- and that was more than enough for a stout Herd defense. Marshall's helmets sported the No. 75 in honor of the victims of the crash of Southern Airways Flight 932 50 years ago today. -- Bill Connelly

No. 22 Liberty 58, Western Carolina

Coming off a big win against Virginia Tech, Liberty stayed hot by running through FCS Western Carolina (playing its first game of the 2020 season) 58-14. The Flames' offense was overbearing for the Catamounts' defense, led by quarterback Malik Willis, who threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns and added 97 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The game was a nice little warm-up before Liberty goes for another ACC win next week against NC State. -- Harry Lyles Jr.

No. 7 Cincinnati 55, East Carolina 17

The Bearcats had an easy one lined up on the schedule in ECU, and they made it look like it in a 55-17 win. Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell apologized after the game for running a fake punt while up 32 points in the fourth quarter, but for a team that has an outside shot at the College Football Playoff, trying to score every point possible might not be the worst idea. -- Harry Lyles Jr.

There's no stopping Jones

Marcus Jones turned the wheels on for this punt return TD.

Nothing to see here

Running a route, Dee Wiggins gets forced out of bounds and crashes into the kicking net on the Hurricanes' sideline.

Yes, Skowronek really caught that

And he topped it off with a mean mug.

What was he thinking?

Doubt you'll ever see something like this kick-pick-six again.

What was Army thinking on this trick play?

Army attempts a backward pass on the kick return, but Tulane's Jaetavian Toles grabs it and returns it for the touchdown.

Nebraska's Deontai Williams forced a fumble and returned it for a touchdown.

Is Indiana a football school?

Not quite yet, but plays like this are fun seeing from the Hoosiers.

When even Desmond Howard can't stand behind his Wolverines, you know it's going to be messy in Ann Arbor.

Kind of hard not to laugh at the shot the TV program description takes at the Nebraska-Penn State game.

A touching tribute

Kentucky OL coach John Schlarman died Thursday following a two-year battle with cancer, and the Wildcats honored him by leaving the left tackle position open.

Kentucky leaves spot vacant, takes penalty to honor late O-line coach

Kentucky leaves a space empty on the offensive line and takes a delay of game penalty in honor of O-line coach John Schlarman, who died after a battle with cancer. Vanderbilt declined the penalty.

Friday night feistiness

Let's start with Iowa-Minnesota, where the Hawkeyes won for the sixth straight time to claim the glorious Floyd of Rosedale trophy. As if that wasn't bad enough, Minnesota had to watch as Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz called all three of his timeouts in the final seconds despite winning 35-0. In fairness, Gophers coach P.J. Fleck called the first timeout in the final minute, as his team tried to break the shutout, then the Hawkeyes proceeded to use all three of theirs.

Asked about it after his team's 35-7 win, Ferentz said, "Figured we'd take Floyd with us and leave the timeouts here."

Around the same time, No. 7 Cincinnati showed no mercy against East Carolina, running a fake punt up 42-10 with eight minutes remaining en route to a 55-17 victory. Hey, when you're trying to become the first Group of 5 team to make the College Football Playoff, style points count, we guess. Either way, East Carolina's coach did not seem amused.

Word up

Mike Gundy, miked up last week against Kansas State, wasn't a fan of the band's old-school "jamz" while his team was on offense.

A somber remembrance

Boston College has selected Saturday's game against Notre Dame as its "Red Bandana" game to honor BC alum Welles Crowther, who died in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11 while helping to save others. This year, the uniforms feature the bandana design pattern in the numbers and stripes. For more on the Red Bandana story, watch this SportsCenter Featured story, "The Man In The Red Bandana," about Crowther.

Fifty years after a plane crash that killed 75 members of the Marshall team and staff on Nov. 14, 1970, Marshall will wear black uniforms with the No. 75 on helmets.
