College Football: Week 4 sees a double OT win and a bizarre play by the Aggies
New York, New York - Week 4 of college football saw huge conference play matchups that pushed teams to the limit to experience wild moments and earn big wins.
There are Saturdays when playoff contenders emerge with such ferocity and dominance that they cannot be ignored, like Ohio State in Week 3.
Sometimes, there are Saturdays when the system feels rigged and teams come away with what some deem as "undeserved" wins like Alabama's win over Texas in Week 2.
Then, there are Saturdays like we saw in Week 4, where the goal of a game is simply to survive.
In one of the most anticipate conference matchups, Wake Forest put up a fight against Clemson in what turned out to be the wildest game of the season so far.
Though Clemson took home the win, the Tigers had to fight for it in a double overtime game against the Deacon Demons.
In the SEC, Arkansas and Texas A&M both fought until the very end with the lower-ranked Aggies defeating the top-ranked Razorbacks in a 23-21 victory.
The conference matchup delivered one of the most bizarre plays we've seen in college football, with Texas A&M stealing the momentum from Arkansas to shake things up on the field and on social media.
Here are the most notable moments from Week 4 of college football.
Wake Forest pushes Clemson to the limit to secure Coach Swinney's 100th conference win
While Clemson remains undefeated heading into Week 5, Wake Forest gave the Tigers quite the fight on Saturday. Clemson took things into double overtime to hold off the Demon Deacons and eventually won 51-45.
Wake Forest's performance proved that Clemson might not be as bulletproof as some thought at the start of the season. With a tough schedule ahead of them, the Tigers might face some trouble b staying in playoff contention.
Starting quarterback Sam Hartman put together a historic and, at times, heroic effort to lead Wake Forest's offense, finishing with 20 of 27 completed passes for 337 yards and a school-record of six touchdowns.
Wake Forest's receivers won many one-on-one matchups against Clemson's secondary. Jahmal Banks posted six catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns while Donavon Greene had two touchdowns in his first season back from injury.
Still, Clemson continues to be Wake Forest's only real threat for an ACC conference title as Saturday marked the Tigers 14th consecutive win over the Demon Deacons.
The Tigers long day of football finished with quarterback DJ Uiagalelei playing his best game of the season. Uiagalelei totaled 371 yards and five passing touchdowns, and finished as the team's second-leading rusher.
Saturday's win for Clemson marked head coach Dabo Swinney's 100th ACC conference win.
Texas A&M upsets No. 10 Arkansas for the Southwest Classic title
When the No. 10 Razorbacks took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, it looked as if Arkansas was in total control on the field and would soon see their first conference win.
However, thanks to an unbelievable "scoop 'n' score" by the Aggies, Texas A&M found themselves in the driver's seat.
During a first and goal touchdown attempt, Arkansas' quarterback KJ Jefferson tried to dive over the goal line to secure the points when disaster struck and the QB fumbled the ball into the hands of A&M defender Tyreek Chappell.
Chappell, who ran like the field was lava, noticed pressure was coming, so he tossed the ball to his teammate Demani Richardson, who then carried it to the end zone for a touchdown.
The 82-yard run sent social media into a frenzy as fans tweeted their reactions to the biggest play of the season yet.
Texas A&M went on to win 23-21, claiming their 11th Southwest Classic title and first since being defeated by the Hogs last year ending their 10 consecutive classic title streak.
Arkansas' loss to Texas A&M dropped them out of the top ten in national rankings, and the Razorbacks currently sit at No. 20.
