For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Georgia, Alabama and Texas college football teams lost on the same day.<\/p>\n
No. 1 Georgia lost 27-24 at home to unranked Auburn after Tigers kicker Alex McPherson made a 34-yard field goal with no time left.<\/p>\n
Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown threw for 150 yards and a touchdown and ran for 115 yards and one more score.<\/p>\n
No. 6 Alabama fell to No. 14 Tennessee after the Volunteers enjoyed a dominant second half where they outscored the Crimson Tide 14-0. Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
No. 7 Texas dropped a 27-24 home game to unranked Florida after giving up 24 unanswered points, turning a 17-3 lead into a 27-17 deficit. <\/p>\n
Texas scored a late touchdown and had a chance to tie or take the lead after forcing a three-and-out, but Florida linebacker Myles Graham’s sack of Texas quarterback Arch Manning forced a fumble that was recovered by Gators defensive back Kanye Clark. Florida ran out the clock for the win.<\/p>\n
Back on Oct. 26, 1996, No. 7 Alabama lost 20-13 to No. 6 Tennessee, led by future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. Unranked Georgia, in the midst of a tough 5-6 season, lost 24-17 to Kentucky. Unranked Colorado fell 28-24 at No. 8 Colorado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Georgia, Alabama and Texas college football teams lost on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-469253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
