The Miami Dolphins have placed star running back De'Von Achane on injured reserve following a torn ACL suffered in Week 3. With Achane out for the season, the team faces a critical decision regarding its remaining running back options, specifically whether to elevate practice squad member Jarquez Hunter or rely on Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright.
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane suffered a non-contact left knee injury during the first quarter of a Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Head coach Jeff Hafley described the prognosis as 'not optimistic,' suggesting a potentially long-term absence. Achane, who had 117 rushing yards through the first two weeks, was ruled out after initially being listed as questionable. The injury leaves the Dolphins with limited depth, as backup Jaylen Wright was inactive and Ollie Gordon II exited with cramps. Hafley praised the team's effort in the 24-10 loss but expressed concern over the backfield situation.
The Miami Dolphins, after a poor start to the season, achieved a significant 34-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8, largely thanks to a strong rushing game led by De'Von Achane and rookie Ollie Gordon II. This win suggests that if Miami can sustain their improved run game, they might turn their season around from their 2-6 record.
BYU's bowl hopes were dashed in a 40-34 double-overtime loss to No. 20 Oklahoma State, as the Cowboys, led by star running back Ollie Gordon II, staged a comeback in the second half and overtime. BYU's offense struggled in the second half, while their defense wore down, allowing Gordon to score five touchdowns. The loss dropped BYU to a 5-7 record for the season, marking the end of their season and their hopes for a bowl game.
Oklahoma State football secured a 27-24 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the final Bedlam matchup for the foreseeable future.

OSU running back Ollie Gordon II had another impressive performance with 137 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Alan Bowman threw for 334 yards. The Cowboys' defense made key stops on third and fourth downs, and despite some unsuccessful fourth-down gambles, OSU's drive of the year resulted in a go-ahead touchdown.
