Week 4 of the college football season brought with it plenty of heroes, and of course, a few goats. College Football 24/7 takes a look at who had a game to remember, and who needs to turn the page:
Winners
Shilique Calhoun: Michigan State's senior defensive end, who will be among the top-rated pass rushers in the 2016 NFL Draft, had a dominating effort against Central Michigan. The damage was extensive: six tackles, three tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, a pass breakup, four quarterback hurries and a blocked 43-yard field goal. Changes could be coming on the CMU field-goal unit, because MSU's Demetrius Cooper blocked a field goal as well.
Leonard Fournette: The LSU star ripped through the nation's No. 3 rushing defense for 244 yards on 26 carries, dispensing of Syracuse, 34-24, and stamping another stellar performance onto a Heisman Trophy resume. The true sophomore is now averaging better than 200 yards per game for the year.
Greyson Lambert: A week after setting an NCAA record for single-game completion percentage at 96 percent (24 of 25), the Georgia quarterback connected on 9-of-10 attempts in a 48-6 win over Southern. Going back to the end of his day against Vanderbilt in Week 2, he'll enter next week's crucial home game against Alabama having completed 35 of his last 37 passes.
Josh Doctson: TCU's star receiver could do no wrong Saturday. He pulled in a Big 12 record-tying 18 catches, and on what would have been record-breaking No. 19, he tipped a high pass into the hands of teammate Aaron Green for a 55-52 win over Texas Tech with 23 seconds left. Doctson's total damage: 267 yards and three scores.
Ron Thompson: The Syracuse junior pass rusher blew past LSU right tackle Vadal Alexander for a sack, and also forced a fumble and broke up a pass in a loss to the Tigers.
Jared Goff: Chalk up another 300-yard game for the Cal junior with the rocket arm. Goff completed 24-of-40 passes for 342 yards and two scores in a 30-24 win over Washington. The Golden Bears (4-0) are already within one win of their 2014 season total.
Brandon Doughty: Western Kentucky's star quarterback lit up Miami of Ohio in a 56-14 win, completing 33-of-41 passes for 457 yards and six touchdowns. Taywon Taylor and Jared Dangerfield earned their respect, combining for 20 catches and 302 yards.
Ishmael Adams: The UCLA cornerback, coming off a season-long suspension, intercepted a pass and broke up another in his 2015 debut for the Bruins in a blowout win over Arizona.
Myles Garrett: The Texas A&M pass rusher very nearly found himself listed below, but late in the fourth quarter he showed up for the first time in a big way: a sack-and-strip that played a key role in the Aggies' 28-21 comeback win in overtime over Arkansas.
Losers
*Vernon Adams:The Oregon quarterback might have lost his hold on the quarterback job for the Ducks in a 62-20 loss to Utah. At the very least, he lost it for a half.
*
Michigan State's offensive line:The Spartans lost one of the top offensive linemen in the nation Saturday in left tackle Jack Conklin. It's unclear if the injury is season-ending, but MSU assistant coach Dave Warner called it a * *"major, major situation."
The BYU offense:The magic ran out for Tanner Mangum and the Cougars in a big way. In a 31-0 loss to Michigan, BYU managed just 105 total yards, 55 passing and 50 rushing. At least they were well-balanced.
Arizona State's ball security: Is it worse to fumble inside the opponent's 10-yard line, or inside your own 10? The Sun Devils can ponder that after making both miscues on consecutive plays near the end of the first half of a loss to Southern Cal. USC's Chris Hawkins scooped a fumble near the Trojans goal line and returned it 94 yards for a score with 25 seconds left in the half. On the ensuing kickoff, ASU coughed up the return inside its own 10, and USC scored again for a 35-0 halftime lead. The miscues resulted in a 14-point swing and put the game away early.
Justin Thomas: Georgia Tech's triple-option quarterback threat hasn't been a threat at all the last two weeks. In a 34-20 loss to Duke on Saturday, Thomas was held to 58 yards on 24 carries and completed just 6-of-21 passes.
Karl Malone: OK, so maybe the NBA star who once was known as "The Mailman" is a little out of place here. But when you're still rocking a flip phone in 2015, you're enough of a fit. Malone, whose son is an offensive lineman at LSU, was caught on this archaic device, thanks to social media. Maybe they should've called him "The Pony Express Man":
