College football winners, losers: Alabama QB Keelon Russell has arrived, Texas A&M faceplants

The Week 3 college football slate looked strong, but delivered more than anyone could have expected. No. 13 Texas Tech survived a battle with No. 22 Houston in an instant classic in Lubbock, while No. 5 Miami got a nearly record-setting performance from QB Darian Mensah.

Then, No. 23 Louisville beat No. 16 SMU to take control of the ACC title race, and Kentucky picked up its first top 10 victory under coach Will Stein. But more than the wins, a few individual performances have defined the weekend, with more coming together as of publication.

In the night slate, No. 7 LSU and No. 8 Ole Miss battle in the game of the weekend. Auburn and Florida are also locked in a fight, while BYU tries to outlast Colorado State in a highly competitive game. But before those go final, here are the winners and losers of Week 3 early in the primetime slate.

Usually, we wait until the end of the primetime games to include them as winners, but Trinidad Chambliss's start against LSU will go down in history. On a night where the spotlight was on former coach Lane Kiffin, Chambliss wrested it away with a magical performance.
