"At Ole Miss, Ferris State transfer Trinidad Chambliss eclipsed 300 passing yards for a third consecutive start to help the Rebels slay LSU. After dismantling Illinois in Week 4, Indiana and Georgia Tech, which gained a win in overtime over Wake Forest, escaped trap games to their respective surprise places in the College Football Playoff race. Fellow CFP contenders Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt continued their scorching starts and others -- LSU, Florida State, TCU and USC among them -- stumbled."
"The weekend's pair of highly anticipated prime-time matchups delivered too. Despite a leaky run defense, Alabama notched its latest win over Georgia on the road Saturday night. Meanwhile Oregon sealed perhaps the biggest win of any program this season in an overtime victory at Penn State behind the play of first-year starter Dante Moore, "the best quarterback in college football," according to Ducks coach Dan Lanning."
Several unexpected results defined Week 5 as transfers and first-year starters impacted outcomes across major programs. Trinidad Chambliss produced a third straight 300-yard passing game to lead Ole Miss past LSU. Indiana and Georgia Tech won resume-building games, while Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt maintained hot starts. High-profile programs including LSU, Florida State, TCU and USC faltered. Alabama defeated Georgia despite run-defense concerns. Oregon secured a signature overtime road win at Penn State behind first-year starter Dante Moore. Ohio State's defense dominated through four games, allowing just 22 points and matching last year’s elite unit despite eight new starters.
