It's been a busy weekend in the sports world. Between the rescheduled Georgia-South Carolina game, the drama over the LSU-Florida game that may or may not even happen now, the Jays' ALDS sweep, and the Cubs beating the Giants in Game 2 of the NLDS, there was enough going on that you probably missed some of the college football action. So, to help us recap these games and get you all caught up, we've called in a few favors to get R.E.M. to reunite and explain the goings-on through the universal language of music.

#4 Michigan def. Rutgers, 78-0: Bad Day
If you didn't actually watch this game, you might think that this one doesn't need too much explaining. Michigan put up 78 points on the Scarlet Nights, who are bad, and Rutgers had a bad day. But somehow, it was worse than that score-line implies. In the first half, Rutgers managed six whole yards of total offense, and it didn't get much better in the second half, as they ended the game with only 39 yards. Rutgers averaged 0.9 yards per rushing attempt, and they ran the ball 36 times. The passing game was somehow even worse, with just two completed passes and five total yards through the air. I highly recommend you look at the stat line, because this was so much more than a bad day for Rutgers – it was an historic tragi-comedy in football form. And unfortunately for the Scarlet Knights, despite the fact that it's been a bad day, everyone was taking pictures.
