BIG LOSERS Minnesota.

The Golden Gophers’ defense, it seems, has opted out of the 2020 season. Coughing up 49 points to Michigan to open the year was one thing. Blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter and giving up 675 total yards to Maryland in a 45-44 Friday in an overtime loss is quite another. An imploding defense could be a long-term problem in Minneapolis.

American Athletic Conference officials.

Replay officials overturned a fumble recovery by East Carolina with 1:52 to go that should have stood, permitting Tulsa to continue its march to a touchdown with 29 seconds left and a 34-30 victory.

The AAC acknowledged its error Saturday morning, but its little solace for East Carolina, which fell to 1-4.
