Halloween weekend and Week 9 in college football. What does that mean? Well, it means loads of trick plays and treats everywhere we look. Michigan State rallied to beat Michigan and retained the Paul Bunyan trophy, and Ohio State and Penn State traded blows before the Buckeyes prevailed.
Unbeaten Georgia and Oklahoma both made statements while No. 9 Iowa and No. 10 Ole Miss both lost.
Perhaps the best treats came out of Houston, where the Cougars handed SMU its first loss with a 100-yard kickoff return for the game-winning touchdown with 17 seconds left. The Mustangs had scored on their own 100-yard kickoff return to open the second half.
Alas, there were no more candy hot takes, like Mike Leach's total disdain for candy corn.

Touchdowns of the day
Lawrance Toafili just kept things moving along for this TD.
Lawrance Toafili breaks a tackle by rolling over the Clemson defender, then completes his 75-yard score.
Best to get out of Christian Sims' way unless you want to take a nasty hit.
Christian Sims is having none of his would-be tackler as he knocks him to the ground and races to the end zone for an 81-yard Bowling Green touchdown.
Officially, 100 yards. In reality, it was 105.
Bryan Massey gives SMU the lead in the second half by taking the kickoff straight to the house.
Rumblin', bumblin' ... you can just hear Chris Berman's voice in your head, right?
Sean Clifford fumbles the football and Jerron Cage scoops it up and chugs his way to the end zone for a 57-yard scoop-and-score for Ohio State.
Sparty party!
You seriously can't leave Kenneth Walker III with any room. He ended up finishing with five touchdowns, and yeah, he is something special to watch.
KENNETH WALKER IS A BAD BAD MAN π₯
Sparty (+4.5) ties it up!

Michigan State improved to 8-0 on the season with the 37-33 win over Michigan, and this interception sealed the deal.
Michigan State's Charles Brantley hauls in a phenomenal one-handed interception, clinching the win for the Spartans.
So after the game, the Spartans rightfully celebrated and called people out.

Piling on?
It appears Ohio State's band was prepared for Michigan's loss. How else to explain the perfection when the band took the field at halftime of Saturday night's game against Penn State?
One of these things is not like the other. One of these things doesn't belong.

Ejections in K-State-TCU
Things got heated between TCU and K-State, and three players, one on TCU and two on K-State, were ejected.
TCU and Kansas State players get into it after Josh Foster laid a big hit on Wildcats QB Skylar Thompson as he was running out of bounds.
Irish scramble
Jack Coan: dual-threat quarterback? The Wisconsin transfer hadn't logged a run longer than 20 yards since 2019, but he scrambled 21 yards for a touchdown in the Irish's game against North Carolina.
Jack Coan shows off the wheels! π¨@NDFootball back on top 24-20.

It might not have looked like pure chaos on the field, but the line said otherwise.
