WALKER LEADS SPARTANS
Kenneth Walker earned the right to stump for Heisman Trophy votes and humbly refused, shaking off questions about the coveted award as if they were linebackers trying to tackle him.
Walker ran for 197 yards and five touchdowns, helping No. 8 Michigan State top No. 6 Michigan 37-33 for a thrilling comeback win on Saturday.
The Spartans trailed by nine at halftime and 30-14 with 6:47 left in the third quarter before rallying as Walker boosted his chances of being selected college football´s most outstanding player.
Walker´s fifth touchdown - a 23-yard run - lifted the Spartans to a 37-33 lead with 5:08 remaining. He had 8.6 yards a carry, an average that spiked thanks to his 58-yard touchdown that helped the Spartans pull into a 30-all tie early in the fourth quarter.

DEFENSIVE COCKTAIL PARTY
Raise a glass to Georgia´s defense. Or three, actually - one for each second-quarter turnover that turned the rivalry known as "The World´s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" into another lopsided affair.
The top-ranked Bulldogs and the nation´s No. 1 defense dominated Florida, scoring three touchdowns off miscues in a 12-play sequence that carried them to a 34-7 victory, their fourth in five years in the neutral-site game.
Georgia won its 12th straight since getting steamrolled in Jacksonville a year ago. The Bulldogs´ injury-riddled defense allowed 571 yards in that one, the most in coach Kirby Smart´s six seasons.
Georgia vowed to not let it happen again and responded with another demoralizing effort that might be their most impressive all season.
The Gators finally got on the scoreboard with 2:49 remaining, extending their scoring streak to 418 games. They have scored in every outing since getting shut out by Auburn in 1988.
