5 things to know from Week 4 of the college football season

No. 9 Clemson had their 36-game winning streak against unranked opponents broken, as NC State beat the Tigers 27-21 in overtime. With that loss, Clemson drops to 2-2 on the season and is now fourth in the ACC Atlantic division. No. 14 Iowa State was also handed their second loss of the season — losing at Baylor 31-29.

2 Arkansas is off to a hog-wild start

No. 16 Arkansas is off to their first 4-0 start since 2003 as they took down No. 7 Texas A&M 20-10 in the Southwest Classic. The Razorbacks were led by redshirt sophomore QB KJ Jefferson who threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Jefferson left the game in the third quarter with a knee injury but later returned in the fourth. Head coach Sam Pittman said that Jefferson has a bruised knee after the game. With the win, Arkansas has firmly placed itself in the conversation with SEC contenders.

3 No 4 Oklahoma survives West Virginia in their first Big-12 test

No. 4 Oklahoma narrowly takes down West Virginia 16-13 in Norman, Oklahoma. Both teams scored just one touchdown apiece in the whole game. The second half would be made up of three field goals including the game-winning 30-yard kick from OU's Gabe Brkic. Sooners' QB Spencer Rattler was the majority of their offense with over 265 yards in the air — the run game accounted for much less with just 57 yards. Oklahoma remains undefeated with that win now at 4-0 on the season. 4️⃣-0️⃣ — Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football)
