    Default College Football is back!

    The top teams did as they were expected to do. Alabama had a slow start but then started clicking on all cylinders.

    Ohio State looked solid, as expected.

    Tennessee paid Georgia State $950,000 to come and beat them.

    But I think I enjoyed Jalen Hurts debut as the new OU QB almost as much as the Alabama win. Hurts was 20/23 and 332 yards passing, with 3 TDs. And he had 176 yards on the ground with 3 more TDs. A total of 508 yards, 5th most in OU history. Could OU be getting him ready for the 3rd Heisman in a row for an Oklahoma QB? Well done, Jalen!!

    Yep! Ohio State and Alabama are both on light duty schedules!

    Shouldn't be much of a challenge!

    Someone asked Coach Saban about scheduling lightweights and cupcakes. His response was priceless.

    Actually OSU didn't look that solid. They spanked FSGC for one quarter then FSGC outplayed them the rest of the game. Granted OSU put their scrubs in early but given recent history of being black balled from the Playoff that was a stupid move. They should have poured it on and won 72 to 0. Also the Bucks defense looked like it couldn't make up its mind on defense on when to play man to man or when to play zone.

    So now I fully expect that OSU didn't defeat FSGC 148 to 0 will be held against them.

    Joe Burrow named SEC Offensive Player of the Week, shares honor with Tua


    Burrow tied a school record with five touchdown passes — all in the first half — during LSU's season-opening 55-3 win over Georgia Southern, matching the single-game record set by Zach Mettenberger in 2013.

    Burrow finished 23-of-27 for 278 yards, and LSU scored its most points in a season opener since 2000. Burrow played one drive in the second half before he was replaced by backup Myles Brennan.

    Too early to say. You know he's been working his ass off all off-season since this is his last season of eligibility.

    But I like how LSU is a bit off the radar. I wish they weren't even ranked.

    After living over 33 years in Arizona, I became an Arizona State University fan. They have one of THE best backs in the country, Eno Benjamin. Hopefully he'll be injury-free and will lead ASU to a decent season and a decent bowl game. Even though I live just 25-30 miles from South Bend, I am NOT a fan of Notre Dame. Never was, never will be.

    Fields - 20 of 25 for 225 yds 2 TD's home against unranked Cincinnati . Very impressive.
    Burrow - 31 of 39 for 471 yds and 4 TD's at #9Texas. So so.
    Seriously, this guy Burrow is a treasure. He was unstoppable which is what LSU needed because they couldn't stop Texas n the second half.

    I’m very glad that Joe is doing so well at a second tier program. He was certainly one of OSU’s better backups.

    LSU no problems in the week 1 cupcake bowl.
    Its funny seeing the Sooners becomming a QB mill after sonmany years of running up the score on the ground.

    Does this mean for the next four months we are going to tell us Alabama is the best in history and Sabin is a genius cause they have the best that money can buy?

    Love to see where Alabama would fall if they started with the funding Vanderbilt extends and how Sabin would do if he had to operate within the student expectations that a Boston College demands
