QUOTE OF THE WEEK I saw the ball go in the air, held my breath and then for Colby (Parkinson) to come down with it was pretty awesome.

K.J. Costello, Stanford junior quarterback talking about the game-winning touchdown to beat Oregon.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: OLD DOMINION Old Dominion came into this game winless, yet pulled off a massive upset over No. 13 Virginia Tech, winning 49-35. Both teams traded touchdowns until the fourth quarter when the Monarchs outscored the Hokies, 28-7. The victory marked the first for a Conference USA team over a ranked nonconference opponent in 53 tries and was the biggest upset by an FBS team in the 14 years of ESPN’s Football Power Index predictions. Old Dominion will go on the road this week to face East Carolina.

FIESTA BOWL CHARITIES In 2004, Jenny Luttrell came up with an idea to throw a fashion show that will raise money for families struggling to pay for small things like gas and food as they pay their medical bills. After raising $10,000, Children’s Cancer Network was born to provide assistance for Arizona families battling childhood cancer through programs. These programs are designed to provide financial assistance, promote education, encourage healthy lifestyles, build self-esteem and create awareness of the issues they face. Luttrell is dedicated to helping others thanks to seeing how cancer affected her little brother. The Fiesta Bowl Charities has partnered with the organization for last four years and thanks to a grant from Fiesta Bowl Charities, Luttrell started HOPE – Honoring Our Peers Every day.
