Live blog 2020: Follow Week 3 college football Saturday with Yahoo Sports
Week 3 content from Yahoo Sports
In the end, Miami’s D’Eriq King was the king of Saturday night’s QB battle.
King completed 18 of 30 passes for 325 yards and three scores to lead the No. 17 Hurricanes to a 47-34 victory over Malik Cunningham and No. 18 Louisville.
Cunningham threw three TDs of his own on 26-of-36 passing for 307 yards.
For Miami, points were easy to come by thanks to King’s play and RB Cam’Ron Harris, who rushed for a total of 134 yards — including a 75-yard scoring scamper — on just nine carries.
Oh, and the turnover chain is back for Miami. This time, it’s properly sanitized.
And because it's 2020... the turnover chain gets wiped down after each use. pic.twitter.com/RKjGDAHsI0

Big Ten releases updated 2020 schedule
The Big Ten’s eight-game regular-season schedule will begin on Oct. 24, and the full slate was unveiled Saturday morning.
My quick takeaway from the Big Ten re-schedule is that they didn’t overtly use the have-nots as playoff chum like the SEC did.
