ESPN reported Morris's injuries were non-life-threatening and the school announced the news. CBS Sports said Morris was second on the team in rushing, and Rocky Top Talk reported he had 66 carries for 434 yards and serves as the kick returner, a role that could go to Qua Moss.

No. 1 in the 30-second version
Texas A&M hosts No. 8 Tennessee today at 3 PM ET, its first home game against the Volunteers since 2016.
Texas A&M is 4-5 overall and 1-5 in SEC play, while Tennessee is 7-2, according to Aggies Wire. The Aggies have not scored a touchdown in three SEC games, their first such stretch since 1971. Junior receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman is listed out, Mario Craver is questionable at 50%, and the game airs on ESPN.

Tennessee visits Texas A&M today at 3 PM ET, with the Volunteers at 7-2 and the Aggies at 4-5.
Texas A&M is hosting Tennessee for the first time since the 2016 season, and Aggies Wire says Tennessee is the better team on paper. Tennessee is without backup running back Duane Morris, who was suspended Friday, and Aggies junior wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman remains out. Aggies Wire says the Aggies' chances start with senior quarterback Marcel Reed, and DeSean Bishop, a Heisman Trophy candidate who ranks second in the SEC in rushing yards, is Tennessee's main threat. Friday's FAA communications outage caused 1,143 cancellations across 18 airports, and the article says it could affect Tennessee's travel and the kickoff time.

No. 2 in the 30-second version
Colorado upsets No. 14 Houston 42-32, its first win over a top-15 team since 2007.
The Buffaloes trailed 20-7 in the second quarter, then scored four straight touchdowns on big plays by four different players and fans stormed the field at Folsom Field. Deion Sanders' job security was widely questioned before the win, and the Buffaloes improved to 4-6 overall and 2-5 in the Big 12. Colorado needs two more wins to become bowl eligible, and the win was its first over a top-15 opponent since 2007.
