South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was named one of the first four inductees into Florida's Ring of Honor on Friday night. Spurrier, running back Emmitt Smith, quarterback Danny Wuerffel and defensive end Jack Youngblood were to be inducted into the Ring on Saturday, before the fifth-ranked Gators host Alabama. Their names will be displayed in the North end zone at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The surprise announcement came at Friday's "Gator Gala," a fundraiser that was part of the school's 100 years of Florida football celebration. The event raised more than $6 million for endowed scholarships.

Michael Bush is in no rush to decide whether to enter the 2007 NFL draft or return for another year at Louisville after breaking his right leg in the Cardinals' season-opening win over Kentucky. "I just want to get my rehab done and see how strongly I rebound when the time comes," said Bush, who broke the leg in the third quarter of Louisville's 59-28 win over the Wildcats on Sept. 3.

According to sources, USC wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett is not expected to be cleared to play in Saturday's game against Washington State, "He's still pretty sore," Carroll said. "It's day-to-day."

Notre Dame looked beaten and Michigan State looked unstoppable. Then, in a stunning turn of events, cornerback Terrail Lambert capped a furious rally by returning an interception 19 yards for a touchdown with 2:53 remaining to give the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish a 40-37 victory over the Spartans on Saturday night. The loss stunned Michigan State (3-1) and its pumped-up fans, who remained in the stands despite heavy rain in the second half, convinced they were going to see the Spartans beat the Irish (3-1) for the eighth time in 10 games.

With Notre Dame squeaking by Georgia Tech on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns have moved up to the number two position ahead of Saturday's battle versus Ohio State, the number one team in the country. Last year's game was in Columbus and saw Texas beat the Buckeyes by a final score of 25-22.
