SEC VS. BIG TEN
(AP) -- The two juggernaut conferences have a number of interesting games this week, including No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee, No. 4 Mississippi at No. 21 Florida, No. 19 Missouri at No. 24 Mississippi State and No. 23 Texas A&M at No. 10 LSU.
The Big Ten showcase game is No. 20 Oregon at No. 12 Southern California, which has lost its last four games against the Ducks. No. 17 Iowa also visits No. 18 Michigan and these are not your usual Hawkeyes: 111 points through three games is Iowa’s most since 2003.
DART MISSES
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Malik Nabers sustained injuries in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.
Dart injured his left knee during his team’s first series, while Nabers hurt his right shoulder on the second-to-last play of the quarter.
Dart was hurt while being pressured on third-and-8. Rams linebacker Byron Young hit Dart from the quarterback’s right side, sending him into linebacker Josaiah Stewart, who undercut Dart’s legs, resulting in a hard fall onto the turf. Dart was eventually able to walk gingerly to the sideline under his own power, and he went straight into the medical tent for further evaluation.
Dart, who was 3-of-5 passing for 20 yards, then walked to the locker room. The Giants said shortly after halftime that he would not return.
Jameis Winston replaced Dart on the ensuing Giants drive.
