In the Lancaster-Lebanon League, seven football teams are entering Week 13 with semi-final matchups, including a rematch between Manheim Township and Harrisburg, who have faced off in the D3 playoffs for the past two years. Texas A&M's special teams have been a standout unit, with players like Randy Bond and Tyler White significantly contributing to the team's success, helping maintain a strong position in the College Football Playoffs race. Colorado's improved defense under Deion Sanders has been key to their success in the Big 12, demonstrating significant advancements in points allowed, third-down conversions, and sacks. Meanwhile, the Miami Hurricanes are struggling defensively, ranking 22nd in total defense but allowing over 300 yards per game, which has led to calls for younger talent to be given more playing time.
