Florida State hangs on for 24-17 win in Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU

College football fans treated to free beer and food as credit card machines go down at Nebraska-Northwestern game in Ireland

Beer and other concessions were free at Aviva Stadium at the Northwestern-Nebraska game in Dublin, Ireland, because all the credit card machines were down.
