Charlie Weis and Notre Dame lost 33-30 in double overtime to Connecticut and probably should have lost the game in regulation.

Instead, UConn missed, which only prolonged the “Charlie Weis’s job hangs in the balance” quotes.

The Fighting Friedgens of Maryland gave FSU a game, but a punt that was supposed to go out of bounds didn’t, setting up a 48 yard return by Greg Reid, which led to a three yard run for the winning touchdown for the Seminoles.

Maryland fell to 2-9.

(of course, given the way that Florida State has played, I’m convinced that Northwest Missouri State could give them a game at times)
