By Michael Rothstein

The current New England Patriots quarterback led two touchdown-scoring drives in the fourth quarter, coming from 11 points down to give the Patriots a 25-24 win over Buffalo.

Tate Forcier received 1,600 Facebook friend requests since Saturday, writes Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press.

Forcier also was named the Davey O'Brien quarterback of the week.

Both Rich Rodriguez and Charlie Weis saw plays they had issue with during Saturday's game. And whenever there are officiating issues - especially in non-conference games - it begs the question of why not nationalize the officiating base.

Eastern Michigan almost beat Northwestern. Eastern coach Ron English isn't thinking about that, though.
