After every team has now played their first game, I think the large scope of college football remains mostly unchanged. That being said, there are some thoughts that I and many other fans have had that already look to have been flipped on their heads. In this article, I will talk about those narratives and ideas that have already shifted.

The SEC is More Top Heavy

One of the most controversial questions about college football last season and going into this season is how to properly rank the SEC’s so called “middle class”. While Alabama, Georgia, Florida and LSU were clearly great teams, other teams like Kentucky, Auburn, Missouri, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Texas A&M were a bit hard to evaluate last season. While a lot of them had a quality win or two, it was hard to compare them to run of the mill teams in other conferences. People’s opinions on them mainly broke down to their conference preferences. Coming into this season, this looked to still be a divisive subject. After week one, it looks like there is a clear answer.

The most notable instance of disappointment in the SEC’s middle class (they were in the lower class last season, but appeared to be improved for 2019) is Tennessee’s loss to Georgia State on Saturday. Tennessee looked to be on the upswing going into the season and were thought by some (or at least the idiot writing this post) to get up to eight wins this season. I can definitely say I have lost all confidence in that prediction now as they just lost to a team who went 2-10 in the Sun Belt last season. On offense, Jarrett Guarantano did fine throwing the ball but not great. The issues were first that the Volunteers lost two fumbles and fumbled another time but recovered. One of those fumbles was by Guarantano while running back Ty Chandler fumbled twice and lost one. Tennessee also struggled to get much going on the ground. They averaged just three yards per carry as a team and had just 93 rushing yards. Tennessee’s offensive line also allowed four sacks. On defense, the Volunteers allowed 10 third down conversions and struggled at stopping the run. Georgia State quarterback Dan Ellington completed less than half of his passes but threw for two touchdowns and ran for 61 yards and another touchdown. Tennessee let Georgia State’s offense push them around. Tennessee will need to pick it up this season if they do not want to get mauled in SEC play. I think the pressure will seriously be on head coach Jeremy Pruitt now as well.

Another team that I believed could make a run this season was Missouri. The Tigers went 8-5 in 2018 and returned a lot of key players for this season. Unfortunately, their hype came crashing down when they lost at Wyoming this weekend. New quarterback Kelly Bryant threw for 428 yards but struggled to take care of the ball as he threw a pick and had a fumble that was returned for a touchdown when Missouri was up 14-3. Larry Rountree was expected be a very good running back this season but ran for just 41 yards on 15 carries. On defense, the Tigers did well defending the pass as Wyoming completed just 6/16 passes for 92 yards. Where Missouri struggled was stopping the run, especially on big plays. Wyoming quarterback Sean Chambers ran for 120 yards and 75 of those were from one touchdown run. Their running back, Xazavian Valladay ran for 118 yards and 61 of those were from one touchdown run. If Missouri could have been better at preventing big plays and taking care of the ball, they would have easily won this game. Wyoming safety Alijah Halliburton deserves a major shoutout as he had 17 total tackles and one tackle for loss (also did you guys know that Rocket Ismail’s son is a receiver for Wyoming because he is a senior and I feel like I should have heard about this earlier).

Completing the trifecta of out of conference losses from meddling SEC teams (Ole Miss lost but I had very low expectations from them to begin with) this week is South Carolina. The Gamecocks fell to a North Carolina team who won two games last season and was on their first game with a new coach. Quarterback Jake Bentley had a rough day as he completed just 16/30 passes for 142 yards while throwing no touchdowns. Bentley also played poorly and threw two key interceptions in the last five minutes of the game. Tavien Feaster and Rico Dowdle did fine splitting carries, but neither were dazzling. North Carolina came up big late as they were down 20-9 entering the fourth quarter. Sam Howell did well for a true freshman quarterback and made some big plays. Javonte Williams also went for over 100 yards on the ground. On defense, Myles Wolfolk picked off both of Bentley’s passes in the fourth quarter. Converted quarterback Chazz Surratt came up big at linebacker as he led the Tar Heels with 12 tackles. South Carolina still has to play Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Florida, and Texas A&M this season in their murderer’s row of a schedule. The Gamecocks face an uphill battle to make a bowl game. Also they have now learned that Bentley will be out for the next month because of an injury suffered in the game, leaving true freshman Ryan Hilinski as the starter.

On a lesser note, Kentucky won 10 games last season but struggled to beat Toledo. While they won 38-24, it was tied 14-14 at halftime and Kentucky only gave up 24 or more points three times last season, so to give up that much to a G5 team shows a bit of a drop off in defensive production. The offensive line did not do quite as well as Toledo stuffed Kentucky for a loss seven times. The biggest concern on offense for Kentucky is that they fumbled four times and lost two of them. On defense, Kentucky should be thankful that Toledo did not play Mitchell Guadagni the whole game as he put up much better passing stats than Carter Bradley who also saw time. Guadagni was able to make some big plays through the air that Kentucky likely would have stopped last season. The one good sign for the Wildcats is that Terry Wilson showed some improvement at quarterback as he completed 19/26 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns. While I think the Wildcats will still be good, it is hard to not be totally concerned by this game.

Mississippi State was in a similar situation to Kentucky as they struggled a bit in a 38-28 win over Louisiana, a Sun Belt team the Bulldogs best 56-10 last season. On offense, Mississippi State actually had a good day as Tommy Stevens did well in his debut at quarterback, completing 20/30 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns while adding another touchdown on the ground. Kylin Hill ran wild on the ground with 197 rushing yards on 7.3 yards per carry. Their defensive performance was a bit concerning as the Bulldogs only gave up 28 points once last season and allowed four touchdowns when their defense allowed only 12 in all of last season. Defending the run, the Bulldogs allowed 80 rushing yards on eight carries from Louisiana running back Raymond Calais and 63 yards on nine carries from Trey Ragas. Mississippi State had to replace every starter on last season’s defensive line and the new guys will need to pick it up a bit. While this win was not in an ideal manner, I think Mississippi State will still be a good team this season.

No Growing Pains for These Transfer Quarterbacks

With the arrival of the transfer portal this offseason, many more quarterbacks found new schools and many other transfer quarterbacks are finally eligible after sitting out last season. I and many others figured there might be an adjusting period that took a few games, but I might have to eat crow about some of those predictions. While some quarterbacks still struggled, many did quite well.

Justin Fields was the second highest rated player in the class of 2018 as a dual threat quarterback. He even won the Elite 11 MVP over Trevor Lawrence in the summer of 2017 and was ranked higher than Lawrence on some sights. Still, he was unable to beat out Jake Fromm at Georgia and transferred to Ohio State before this season and was granted immediate eligibility. While I know Fields has immense talent, I thought his game needed some refinement before he became an elite starter. Well Fields did quite well in his debut with Ohio State. On the day, Fields completed 18/25 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns while running for another 61 yards and a touchdown. While it was against a team that went 5-7 in Conference USA last season, Fields looked quite good and seems to be a constant home run threat at quarterback, which can strike fear in opposing defenses. I know he will not be a fun player to plan against. Also Ohio State’s defense deserves a shoutout for allowing just 22 rushing yards from FAU and amassing 12 tackles for loss as a team.

Jacob Eason, another player who transferred from Georgia because they could not beat out Jake Fromm, (can we just shout out Jake Fromm again for beating out two five-star quarterbacks) left for Washington after 2017 and sat out the 2018 season. Eason was a five-star recruit in the class of 2016 and started for Georgia as a true freshman before losing the job to Fromm last season. In his debut for his hometown Huskies, Eason completed 27/36 passes for 349 yards and four touchdowns while never turning the ball over. While it was against FCS Eastern Washington, Eason played well and put a lot of balls right on the money (Aaron Fuller’s touchdown catch right by the edge of the end zone was a dime of a pass and a great catch). Eason has a very strong arm, and always had the potential to be elite if he improved his accuracy. He did just that in week one and will look be a major impact player if he continues with this level of play. Eason also owes some credit to his offensive line for not allowing him to get sacked at all this game.

The most well known transfer this past offseason was that of Alabama’s Jalen Hurts. Hurts started for Alabama in 2016 and 2017 before getting outperformed by Tua Tagovailoa. Hurts gracefully accepted the backup role in 2018 before transferring to Oklahoma. Hurts has some definite strengths to his game such as his accuracy on short passes and his combination of strength and athleticism that make him a great and powerful runner, but he has a definite weakness in that he has never developed an accurate deep ball. Still, he clearly is a great quarterback and leader. Once he transferred to Oklahoma who has had two consecutive Heisman trophy winners that did not start their careers in Oklahoma, the Heisman hype began for Hurts. While I did not believe he could win the Heisman, I thought his story could make him a contender. Against Houston on Sunday, he proved he belongs in the mix regardless of story. Hurts completed 20/23 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns while running for another 176 yards and three touchdowns. Hurts was the first Oklahoma quarterback to ever throw for 300 yards and run for another 150 in a game. I expect big things this season for Hurts and an extremely talented Oklahoma offense.

Virginia Tech transfer Josh Jackson did well in his debut at Maryland. While it was against Howard, an FCS team, Jackson completed 15/24 passes for 245 yards and four touchdowns in a 79-0 victory for the Terrapins (as a Longhorns fan, I have to say that first week Maryland is one of the best teams in the country). It will be interesting to see how Jackson does the rest of the season as he has limited receiver talent around him.

While Hurts, Fields, and Eason saw quite a bit success in their first games with new teams, I still think there are some quarterbacks who struggled in their debuts with new schools. I already talked about Kelly Bryant’s up and down game for Missouri, but he is not alone.

Fellow Clemson transfer Hunter Johnson was someone I felt very confident in. Johnson has spent a full year at Northwestern and was the top quarterback in the recruiting class of 2017, ranked over Tua Tagovailoa and Jake Fromm. It was surprising to me when Johnson was slotted to platoon drives with last year’s backup TJ Green (son of former NFL quarterback Trent Green). I was even more surprised when Johnson looked outright bad and was outplayed by Green. On the day, Johnson completed just 6/17 passes for 55 yards while throwing two interceptions, fumbling twice and losing one. It is not as though Johnson will never be good, but he is farther away than I would have thought. I am going to try and cut him some slack by bringing up the fact that Stanford has a very good defense, but this was still a poor performance. Johnson could be relegated to the bench soon if he does not pick it up.

Brandon Wimbush struggled in his new post at UCF after transferring from Notre Dame this past offseason. While playing FCS foe Florida A&M, Wimbush completed just 12/23 passes for 168 yards and added just 20 yards on the ground. That performance in itself is not too worrisome but Wimbush was outplayed by backup Dillon Gabriel who completed 9/13 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns. This also was not done against backups as Gabriel saw time in the first half. Gabriel was just a three-star recruit but did quite well and I believe either he or the currently injured DJ Mack will start for the Knights by the end of the season.

It is clear that transferring is a big risk at quarterback, and I did not even mention guys who just failed to win the starting jobs at their new school like Alex Hornibrook, Gage Gubrud, and Tate Martell. I think it is something that many players have to do to be seen, but they need to be wise about whether or not to pull the trigger on it and where to go when they do.

Freshman Quarterbacks Rise to the Occasion

Going with a true freshman as your starting quarterback is always a bold move. While many of them can flash their talent immediately, there often are also freshman mistakes mixed in that can hamper a team’s play. This is what makes it all the more impressive when a true freshman takes the reigns and leads their team to victory.

In the marquee game this week, Auburn rolled out a true freshman at quarterback with five-star dual threat Bo Nix taking the reigns. Nix had a pretty up and down game as he completed less than half of his passes, but made it count at the end. With Auburn down one with the game on the line it looked like the Tigers would play for a field goal, but head coach Gus Malzahn had confidence in Nix and it paid off. Nix handled the pressure well and hit Seth Williams on a 26-yard touchdown with just nine seconds left in the game to give Auburn the 27-21 win. Nix had his fair share of mistakes but never broke under the pressure and stepped up when it counted. It had some bad points but it was a gutsy performance that I think we will see more of. Also Gus Malzahn should get some credit by putting confidence in Nix to get the job done.

With the quarterback woes North Carolina had in 2018, it was a good thing they signed Sam Howell. Against South Carolina, Howell completed 15/24 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns. North Carolina trailed 20-9 at the start of the fourth quarter but Howell threw for two touchdowns in that quarter and led the Tar Heels to a big win. I expect Howell to be a turn into a great player for North Carolina.

With 4:27 left in the second quarter, Florida State took a 31-13 lead over Boise State the second 18 point lead the Seminoles had held on the day. Getting out of that kind of deficit on the road is not an easy task, especially for a true freshman quarterback. Hank Bachmeier did just that as Boise State rallied to win 36-31. With the departure of Brett Rypien, (so I am pretty sure that Kellen Moore and Brett Rypien were each at Boise State for about 10 years a piece) Boise State went into this season with some uncertainty at quarterback. In Rypien’s place, the Broncos went with Bachmeier, the four-star true freshman who showed he deserved this job immediately with his performance in Tallahassee on Saturday. On the day, Bachmeier completed 30/51 passes for 407 yards. While his efficiency was far from perfect, he still led the team on a comeback in a tough environment. What impressed me the most about his performance was how calm and poised he was through the whole game. It would have been easy for a true freshman to fold when down 18 on the road during his opening game, but Bachmeier did not. He also stood tough in the pocket after being sacked six times and pressured another eight. He was never phased by the defenders coming at him. It looks like Boise State found another quarterback who has a bright future with the Broncos. Running back Robert Mahone deserves credit as well for running for 142 yards.

While his game was a bit lower stakes, Jayden Daniels of Arizona State deserves a mention here as well. Daniels was named the week one starter and did well against Kent State as he completed 15/24 passes (which I now realize he is the third quarterback I ha e mentioned to have that same number of attempts and completions) for 284 yards and two touchdowns while running for another. Daniels showed that he is a very good dual threat and playmaker and will be someone to watch as the season goes on.

The Pac 12 Might Look Similar (Not in a Good Way)

Coming into this season, it looked like some shifts were going to be made in the Pac 12. It looked as though Oregon was trending up while Washington was trending down. The Pac 12 failed to have a team reach the playoff for the second straight year, but Oregon looked to be a team to break that streak. It also looked like USC and UCLA were going to be better this season. All of those notions look to be a bit incorrect as of now, and I feel like the conference as a whole took a hit during the first week of the season.

To start things off, Oregon entered this season with a ton of hype but fell short against Auburn. The Ducks got up early but let Auburn back into the game. When up 14-3 in the second quarter, the Ducks had a chance to step on Auburn’s throat when Jevon Holland returned a punt all the way to the nine-yard line. All of that momentum was killed when Oregon fumbled on the next play and Auburn’s Big Kat Bryant returned it all the way to the Oregon three-yard line. If Oregon could have scored a touchdown instead of fumbling, the game would have truly been in Oregon’s hands. Justin Herbert did pretty well, but the Ducks could not get anything going on the ground. It also did not help that they have an array of injuries at receiver. Oregon’s offensive line did not hold up as well as they would have hoped either. The Ducks were also just 4/14 on third down. On defense, Oregon allowed Auburn to find success on the ground and pushed Oregon’s defense around at times. To put it simply, Mario Cristobal just got out-coached by Gus Malzahn in this game too. Oregon can still win the conference, but their playoff hopes are already on life support.

While Stanford did grind to a win over Northwestern, it was not a pretty one. Stanford struggled to generate any sort of big plays on offense but were still able to gut out a 17-7 win because of great defensive play. KJ Costello did fine at quarterback but not great. What is concerning is that he left the game with an injury and is questionable for week two. Davis Mills went in for Costello and completed just 7/14 passes for 81 yards and lost two fumbles. Cameron Scarlett was a solid bell cow at running back but the Cardinal will miss having a home run threat like Bryce Love or Christian McCaffrey. If Costello is out, Stanford will need to step it up on offense.

USC came out on top 31-23 against Fresno State on Saturday but did not leave fans excited. Fresno State cut the game to 17-13 and looked to have all of the momentum, but Velus Jones ran a kickoff back 100 yards to give the Trojans an 11-point lead and the momentum back in their favor. JT Daniels looked decent at quarterback but left the game with what was later diagnosed as a torn ACL, putting him out for the season. Freshman Kedon Slovis went in and the offense looked demonstrably worse. First year offensive coordinator Graham Harrell is going to have to work something out in order for the Trojans to see success against a better defense. Vavae Malepeai ran for 134 yards while Tyler Vaughns has 150 receiving yards. USC has the talent at skill positions, but they will need to step up and ease Slovis into the spot as will the offensive line. USC also did not do as well as they would have liked against a new look Fresno State offense. While I think USC will be solid this season, improvements must be made for Clay Helton to keep his job.

Arizona lost at Hawaii in week 0, and their defense needs some work. The Wildcats allowed 595 yards of total offense from Hawaii. While they generated six turnovers which was impressive, the fact that they still lost is ridiculous. Hawaii quarterback Cole McDonald threw four interceptions but in true gunslinger fashion threw for four touchdowns and 378 yards on 9.2 yards per attempt. Hawaii receiver JoJo Byrd had 224 receiving yards as well. If Arizona wants to have a successful season, defensive improvement is needed. I was encouraged by the fact that Khalil Tate was effective on the ground and through the air. His two interceptions thrown were not good, but he seems to be a threat both through running and throwing which will be good for the Wildcats. Still, Arizona needs a good season for the fan base to be sold on Kevin Sumlin as their head coach.

UCLA entered this season with the expectation that they would be improved as they returned many key players from last season. Those expectations were not met as the Bruins lost 24-14 to Cincinnati to open their season. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson struggled as he completed just 8/26 passes and had a quarterback rating of 5.9. I will grant UCLA some slack in that running back Joshua Kelley, receiver Theo Howard, and cornerback Darnay Holmes all did not play. Those three were all expected to this week, but could not get over nagging injuries. With them on the field, it would have been a different ball game. Despite that, the Bruins need to find success under Chip Kelly sooner or later.

Since not everything in college football fits into the theme of my article, I have my random thoughts section to ensure I talk about everything else going on.

Some Random Thoughts:

I think Jarren Williams looked solid in his debut for Miami. Williams was sacked 10 times and pressured another five but still stood strong in the pocket and can turn into a solid quarterback for the Hurricanes if the rest of their offense can hold up, especially their offensive line which was quite inept against Florida.

Feleipe Franks does not look like he will take the step up that I had thought he would. He turned the ball over three times and could never elevate Florida’s offense, only holding them back. If Florida wants to contend with Georgia, Franks will need to step up.

Khalil Tate’s run at the end of the game against Hawaii was insane. The fact that he decided to scramble when down seven, 30 yards from the end zone on the last play of the game was already crazy. What was even more crazy was that he was just a yard shy of scoring and it looked like he was going to pull it off until he was unable to split two tacklers just shy of the end zone.

While Clemson absolutely demolished Georgia Tech, (Clemson’s win probability was never below 98.9%) Trevor Lawrence was a bit disappointing. He completed just 13/23 passes for 168 yards and threw two interceptions. I think it is not much to worry about though. Travis Etienne ran wild in this game as he put up 205 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 12 carries.

Seeing Adam Vinatieri’s nephew Chase Vinatieri kicking at South Dakota State was interesting.

Speaking of that game, Minnesota almost losing to South Dakota State was a tad concerning. The Golden Gophers were a team I picked to surprise people this season, but they did not play up to par on Thursday.

Tulsa running back Corey Taylor was quoted last week saying that he thought the Golden Hurricane would run for 200 yards against Michigan State. Tulsa fell a tad bit as the team ran for -73 yards (yes a negative number) against the Spartans in a 28-7 loss. Taylor ran for -1 yards.

An under the rader game that turned out to be very exciting was Wake Forest’s 38-35 win over Utah State on Friday night. Jamie Newman threw for 407 yards and hit former quarterback Kendall Hinton on a touchdown with a minute to go to take the lead.

Jonathan Taylor continues to be an absolute beast as he ran for 135 yards and two touchdowns and caught another two touchdowns in a 49-0 win for Wisconsin over South Florida. Jack Coan also looked good at quarterback for the Badgers

Nevada and Purdue played another exciting game on Friday night that ultimately resulted in a 34-31 Nevada win. Nevada won the game at the gun on a 56-yard field goal by true freshman kicker Brandon Talton, who found out he was starting on Friday morning. 56 yards is a good mark for an NFL kicker much less a college kicker. Talton being put on scholarship after the game was well deserved and also great to see.

Oklahoma State tore Oregon State’s defense to shreds on a Friday night game I was in attendance for. Spencer Sanders looks like the quarterback of the future for the Cowboys as he completed 19/24 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 109 yards. Chuba Hubbard ran absolutely wild for 221 yards and three touchdowns. One player that does not fill the stat sheet for Oklahoma State but made an impact was tight end Jelani Woods. Woods is a behemoth at 6’7” and 265 pounds and was extremely effective blocking on screen passes or bubble plays. Woods also was good in run blocking when he lines up with Hubbard in the backfield. I just hope for entertainment’s sake that Oklahoma Stare gives him some carries. One bright piece of news for Oregon State is that receiver Isaiah Hodgins played quite well as he had 170 receiving yards.

The game between Oklahoma State and Oregon State being delayed during the start o the second half due to coaches getting stuck on an elevator was quite funny. What is also quite funny (or sad if you are an Oregon State fan) is that Oklahoma State had a drive and scored without their offensive coordinator to call plays.

Nebraska was hyped up quite a bit before this season but struggled against South Alabama in their opener. Adrian Martinez was not quite the playmaker one would have expected at quarterback. As a whole, Nebraska’s offense struggled heavily and needs to find a playmaker besides Martinez. The Cornhuskers offense was outscored by South Alabama, Nebraska was just lucky to have two defensive touchdowns and a punt return touchdown on an amazing play by JD Spielman.

Iowa State is another team that struggled mightily against lesser competition. The Cyclones needed triple overtime to beat FCS foe UNI. Iowa State needed a field goal with less than a minute to go to send the game to overtime. The Cyclones won pretty ugly and will need to find some more resources on offense.

UNI playing for overtime at the end of the fourth quarter was really stupid. If you are playing on the road against a team that is clearly better than yours, you never play it conservative or play for overtime. To quote Herm Edwards “you play to win the game”. This was infuriating to watch.



If you are an athletic director for a power five program, never ever under any circumstance schedule a game against the following FCS programs: North Dakota State, South Dakota State, UNI, Eastern Washington, James Madison or any program that is traditionally good at the FCS level. They will make you fear for your life.

Ole Miss looked extremely uninspiring in a 15-10 loss to Memphis. It might be a long season for the Rebels.

Whatever you have to say about Hugh Freeze as a football coach and as a person, (that is surely ture) it was a bit impressive that he coached Liberty’s game against Syracuse while confined to a hospital bed due to a back injury.

Speaking of that game, while Syracuse absolutely locked up Liberty’s offense, I am a bit concerned about Syracuse offensively. Tommy DeVito had a shaky performance at quarterback and Moe Neal was not as effective on the ground. Still, the Orangemen have all season to figure it out.

Penn State won their opener over Idaho by a score of 79-7. While Sean Clifford had a good starting debut and the defense played well, the highlight of the game to me was walk-on running back Nick Eury’s touchdown. Eury ran for eight yards but was stumbling and fighting through tackles the whole way there.

This game was at Vanderbilt and yet Georgia fans made up over 80% of the crowd. This is a bit sad to see.

Joe Burrow did very well for LSU as he lit up Georgia Southern for five touchdowns through the air while completing 23/27 passes. If LSU’s offense can stay near this level, they can be a playoff contender.

These USC fans misspelling fight on is just even more proof USC football is not in a good spot at the moment.

Pittsburgh is going to need an offensive reboot and that is evident after their poor showing in a 30-14 loss to Virginia. Bryce Perkins looked solid at quarterback for Virginia.

Texas looked good offensively against Louisiana Tech, but I worry about their depth at cornerback. Their game against LSU next week looks to be a good one.

Washington State does not look like they skipped a beat with their new quarterback Anthony Gordon as he completed his first 15 passes and finished the day with 420 passing yards and five touchdowns. Max Borghi has a great day as well for the Cougars as he ran for 128 yards. Washington State beat New Mexico State 58-7.

The Big 12 went 10-0 this week and I think that definitely means they are the best conference in the country.

Virginia Tech lost to Boston College 35-28 and it looks like the struggles that plagued the Hokies last season are still evident. The Hokies turned the ball over five times and their defense was thrown on easily by a quarterback who was mediocre last season in Boston College’s Anthony Brown. Justin Fuente looks to either be on the hot seat or close to it.

Notre Dame struggled a bit with Louisville before winning 35-17. The Fighting Irish play a tough schedule and can not afford to let teams hang around like this. Also there was a point in this game where there were fumbles on three consecutive plays which is amazing.

For the cool uniform award this week, I am just giving it to Utah and BYU for both wearing their home jerseys during their rivalry game. Both jerseys looked nice and more teams need to do this for their rivalry matchups (looking at you Texas and Oklahoma).
