Underdogs deliver multiple hard-to-believe moments



Kevin Eberhart and Colorado beat No. 3 OU on a last-second field goal



A short while after shocking Oklahoma, and by extension, the world, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins was squiring recruits across campus on a golf-cart tour.

It turned into a victory tour, as the caravan was mobbed by celebrating students.

"Everyone's fired up," Hawkins said with a chuckle Saturday night.

Underdog campuses were fired up all over America on Insanity Saturday. They were also fired up in Auburn, Ala. And in Manhattan, Kan. And College Park, Md. And Tampa, Fla., too.

The students in those locales had reason to party after their teams upset top-10 teams this weekend. Down went No. 3 Oklahoma to Colorado, No. 4 Florida to Auburn, No. 7 Texas to Kansas State, No. 10 Rutgers to Maryland, and on Friday, No. 5 West Virginia to South Florida.

Throw in upset losses by No. 13 Clemson and No. 21 Penn State and even first-half deficits for big dogs USC and LSU against Washington and Tulane, respectively, and you have Insanity Saturday. Just that fast, the college football landscape shifted seismically beneath our feet.

Cody Hawkins threw for 220 yards and two TDs against the Sooners.
