VIDEO: The Top 10 plays from Saturday's action on the college gridiron

The ninth week of the college football schedule may have been short on marquee matchups, but the weekend certainly wasn't short on highlight reel plays.

Here are the Top 10 plays from the college football world on an eventful Saturday.

10. Amari does it all

Alabama's Amari Cooper showed off some of the skills he'll be using on Sunday's next year, taking a screen to the right 80 yards for the score on the Crimson Tide's first play from scrimmage.

9. What was he thinking?

Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner tries to throw the ball away in Saturday's rivalry matchup with Michigan State, but he didn't quite leave it out of the reach of the Spartans defense.

8. Side-step

Kansas State running back Charles Jones makes a defender look silly with a nasty juke to the left, leading to a score.

7. Over the top

Minnesota running back David Cobb gives up his body, going over the top for a one-yard touchdown against Illinois.

6. Great adjustment

North Carolina quarterback Marquise Williams lobs a deep ball up for Mack Hollins, who makes a great adjustment on the ball in the air, then splitting a pair of defenders on a 57-yard touchdown.

5. Sims can run

Remember when everyone though Jake Coker would be the starter for Alabama? Blake Sims shows why he won the job.

4. Spin move

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan and wide receiver Christian McCaffrey hooked up on a 42-yard pass play to open the scoring in Saturday's game against Oregon State. A score made possible by McCaffrey's nifty spin move.

3. #Escapability

Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott turns a potential three-yard loss into a 38-yard gain by putting the moves on Kentucky's front seven.

2. Tip drill

UNLV wide receiver Kendal Keys certainly hasn't been mailing it in during the tip drill at practice.

1. The big man!

Arkansas offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola showed that he's good at more than just blocking people, throwing a touchdown pass on a trick play.
