It seems like this weekend’s college and NFL action was full of nuggets that I (and many others) never expected to see. Here’s a recap of all of them in one place, purely for your enjoyment.
Here’s your Twitter 12 pack from the weekend. Enjoy the snazzy new name.
1) The “-kowski’s” dominated the Pats – Raiders match-up.
Excellent RT @SBNation Every single point in Raiders-Patriots was scored by a ”-kowski“ pic.twitter.com/e76Uo2GJBH

2) Notre Dame and Texas A&M are the two remaining teams yet to allow a rushing touchdown this season.
#NotreDame football is one of only two FBS teams that have yet to yield a rushing touchdown in 2014. Texas A&M is the other. — Eric Hansen (@EHansenNDI) September 21, 2014
3) At one point during Sunday’s action Cincinnati Bengals receiver Mohamed Sanu had just as many passing touchdowns as a few well known NFL quarterbacks.
Touchdown passes this season: Mohamed Sanu 1 Ben Roethlisberger 1 Cam Newton 1 Alex Smith 1

4) I didn’t think Arizona would; A) need, or B) would be capable of scoring 36 points in the fourth quarter.
VIDEO: Arizona scores 36 points in the 4th quarter and beats Cal with a last-second Hail Mary http://t.co/Yd800bsitv pic.twitter.com/qNvxBFJmMC — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) September 21, 2014
5) Uh, what’s that guy’s title with the headset on?
“It’s low.” RT @thereidy: @edsbs yeah, but UNC won the “weird position title” battle. pic.twitter.com/3AProhEebv

6) I know Lane Kiffin is a bright offensive mind…but I don’t know if anyone saw this one coming.
We are through 4 weeks of college football and Alabama (587.5) is averaging more yards per game than Oregon (555.3). — Andrew Gribble (@Andrew_Gribble) September 21, 2014
7) Mike Leach did what?
Mike Leach is putting seven linemen on the field at once. Weirdest Stanford cosplay ever.

8) I’ve seen Michigan struggle firsthand, but this is nuts.
Michigan has 1 offensive TD in its last 11+ quarters vs Power Five teams… and it came when trailing 31-6 in Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) September 20, 2014
A touchdown is so rare for Michigan, ESPN gave them two. pic.twitter.com/hbQzS3eGPc

9) Indiana lost to Bowling Green in a shootout last weekend, then they go into their match up with Mizzou and dominate (ON DEFENSE!) from the start.
Missouri has run 18 plays. Indiana has stopped six behind the line of scrimmage. That’s not good. — Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) September 20, 2014
10) How is this even possible?
UConn has caught more punts than passes. — Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) September 20, 2014
11) Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly – Dual Threat?
Apparently he’s a dual threat pic.twitter.com/bqf6ToWioK — Chris B. Brown (@smartfootball) September 22, 2014
12) A match-up made in heaven? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll show myself out now.
Hey @CollegeGameDay College of Faith & University of Faith will play each other on November 8th. #JustSaying — RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) September 22, 2014
