University of Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill apparently suffered another seizure while flying back from Saturday’s 28-13 loss at Northwestern.

Kill, who has a seizure disorder, said Sunday on WCCO-AM 830 that his wife told him he had a “small situation” while returning. Kill said he was fine and did not want to comment any further about the incident.

Following a major seizure on the sideline of a Sept. 10 loss to New Mexico State at TCF Bank Stadium, Kill suffered multiple seizures and had two stints in the hospital to regulate his medication. Kill has not missed a game.

The Gophers (2-9, 1-6 Big Ten) finish the season Saturday against Illinois at TCF Bank Stadium.

Arkansas player dies: Arkansas backup tight end Garrett Uekman, 19, died at a Fayetteville hospital Sunday afternoon.

The cause of death wasn’t immediately known, but the university said Uekman was found unconscious and unresponsive in his dorm room on campus at approximately 11:15 a.m. Sunday. He was last seen playing video games by a roommate approximately one hour earlier.

When emergency services personnel arrived, Uekman was in cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 12:10 p.m.

“Garrett Uekman was a special member of our family, and we are all saddened by his passing,” Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said in a statement. “His loss is a terrible shock, and it makes you realize how precious life is.”

University police Lt. Mat Mills said there were no suspicious circumstances about Uekman’s death, and his body will be sent to the state medical examiner for an autopsy.

Uekman redshirted last season for the Razorbacks and had played in nine games this season.

SEC ranked 1-2-3: The latest AP college football poll gives a new meaning to the term all-SEC.

The Southeastern Conference is the second league to have the top three spots in ranking all to itself.

No. 1 LSU held the top spot for the ninth straight week in Sunday’s rankings, and after a weekend in which three other top-five teams lost, Alabama moved up a spot to No. 2 and Arkansas jumped three places to No. 3.

Sunday’s BCS standings were identical: No. 1 LSU, No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Arkansas.

The only other time in the 75-year history of the Associated Press rankings that the top three teams all came from the same conference was the final regular-season poll of 1971, when Nebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado from the Big Eight were 1-2-3.

No. 4 Stanford from the Pac-12 is the first non-SEC team in the rankings, and Oklahoma State dropped from No. 2 to No. 5 after its first loss of the season. The Cowboys lost 37-31 in double overtime at Iowa State on Friday night.

That opened the door for Alabama to move up to No. 2.
