EDITOR’S NOTE: When big games grace the calendar in either college football or college basketball, Student Section contributor and lead basketball writer Scott King will sometimes provide a “tweetcap,” a list of captured tweets that lend color and perspective to the events you just saw on television.
This past Saturday in college football rated as a particularly significant day. When three top-25 games arrived in prime time, Scott was there to tell you how Twitter responded to all the action on the field. We hope you enjoy this and the other tweetcaps Scott provides in the coming weeks and months, culminating with the Final Four in early April.

Great part of Bama-LSU. If you zone out for several minutes at a time, or you have some cross-stitching to do, it's easy to catch up.
