Life moves fast in college football.
In Week 1, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were the talk of the town. Marcus Freeman’s team traveled to College Station, Texas, and earned a prime-time road win over the Texas A&M Aggies. The Irish were hailed as the favorites for the playoffs.
A week later, Notre Dame’s fortunes couldn’t have been more reversed. The Northern Illinois Huskies traveled to South Bend, Indiana, and knocked off the fifth-ranked Irish.
The Huskies’ major road triumph wasn’t the first upset of the season, but it’s certainly the biggest. We’re tracking all the biggest upsets of the 2024 college football season throughout the fall.
September 7: Northern Illinois 16 – Notre Dame 14
The Huskies’ defense won the game at Notre Dame Stadium. Notre Dame managed just 286 yards of total offense as Northern Illinois finally got the game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter.
The win is the Huskies’ first against a top-10 opponent. NIU was 0-14 in all previous attempts, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
August 24: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 24 – Florida State Seminoles 21
College football has made a comeback, with the Yellow Jackets immediately making a splash in Dublin, Ireland. Florida State entered the 2024 season ranked No. 10 in the AP poll, but failed to find momentum after an undefeated regular season in 2023.
The game came down to Georgia Tech kicker Aidan Birr’s leg. The redshirt sophomore kept his composure, sending the game-winning field goal through the uprights as the clock struck zero.
