Great see-saw game where it's a shame someone has to go home with a loss. Took this video while watching at home of the game winning kick. Play it over-and-over. Watch Harrison Butker's form and where his energy is moving, especially after the kick. It's "only" a 42 yard field goal. A chip shot by pro standards, but a lot can go wrong in 42 yards. Distance isn't the problem — accuracy is. Butker's smooth swing and energy toward the posts is rock solid (it does not move left of right). If he gets even a modest hit on the ball, it will travel about 40 yards without any movement at all. How could he miss?

These are the highest paid college football players for this season.... Although there isn't a kicker even close to these marks, understand, just like in the NFL, as the price for QB's goes up, so too does it for specialists. (i.e. — NFL: Mahomes $65MM vs. Aubrey $7MM) From On3.com: Darian Mensah, Miami: $6M+ Darian Mensah entered the transfer portal on the final day of the January transfer window and, after a legal battle and settlement, ended up at Miami. His deal calls for more than $6 million, sources tell On3, but that includes incentives. He’s one of the highest-paid players in college football history. Dante Moore, Oregon: $5M Dante Moore walked away from first-round NFL draft quarterback money to return to Oregon for a final season following an exit in the CFP semifinals. Moore told On3 this offseason he’s motivated by his teammates and a final shot at a national championship. Sources told On3 that Moore’s deal with Oregon for the 2026 season sits at roughly $5 million. Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss: $5M Trinidad Chambliss signed a revenue-share contract with Ole Miss in excess of $5 million annually in January to return to Oxford for another season, sources told On3 at the time. He later received an injunction against the NCAA to return for the 2026 season and enters the fall as a Heisman Trophy frontrunner. Sam Leavitt, LSU: $4.5M The most sought-after transfer quarterback in January’s portal window, Leavitt visited Kentucky, Miami, LSU and Tennessee. But the chance to play for Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge was too much to turn down. Sources told On3 that Leavitt will be making roughly $4.5 million this season with the Tigers.
