The Times released the latest in its [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/03/upshot/ncaa-football-map.html']series of interactive maps[/URL] that uses Facebook data to answer questions about sports. The question this time tries to determine "The Places in America Where College Football Means the Most." Onondaga County, where Syracuse University is located, came in at 20%. The counties surrounding Onondaga had mixed results. ... ... In Cook County, home of Chicago, only 4 percent of residents indicated support for a college team.

Fullback Synjyn Days earned the offensive back of the week award after rushing 19 times for 157 yards and a touchdown in the Yellow Jackets' 56-23 throttling of N.C. State. It was the third consecutive 100-yard outing for Days, who has taken over at fullback in place of the injured Zach Laskey. Guard Shaquille Mason, who helped open some of the holes for Days, was pegged as the offensive lineman of the week after the Yellow Jackets rushed for 479 yards.

Hooker had ruptured two discs in his back while carrying 50-pound bags of feed at a hardware store in his hometown of Richfield Springs, New York. He was on his couch for a month and couldn’t move. But even worse, doctors told the lifelong athlete that he should stop playing sports. Hooker didn’t listen and is now one of the best players on State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s timber team.
