Saturday Evenning Thoughts
/The night games are in progress or will be starting in the next 2 hours, but here are some observations from the weekend action so far...........
- Louisville QB Lamar Jackson looks like the real deal after setting an ACC record with 610 Total yards (and 5 TDs) in the game against Syracuse on Friday
- Another Friday night game that got my attention was the Maryland win on the road over Florida International. Looks like they might get more than 3 wins (my preseason prediction for them) this season
- The Penn State-Pitt game was worth the 16 year wait. If only Pitt had worn throwback jerseys and helmets to recognize their 1976 championship year...
- Speaking of uniforms, I'm not sure what to think of those helmets worn by Air Force. They are flyboys, not seamen
- All three service academies are 2-0
- Boston College's defense is very strong. They are going to cause problems for ACC foes
- The starting QB for Kentucky, Drew Barker, completed more passes to the Gators than he did to his own teammates - that is a rough day.
- Big struggles today for both Clemson and Georgia
- Shocking win for Central Michigan over Oklahoma State on a blown call at the end of the game. Kudos to OSU Head Coach Mike Gundy for being gracious in defeat
- Great day for the Missouri Valley Conference - nice wins by North Dakota State, Western Illinois, and Illinois State. If only Northern Iowa had beaten Montana...
