Friday Night Lights

It's opening night for high school football, but you will have to visit another site tonight to read about the games.  It's all about college football here at cfbeveryday!  So that I can get to Stanford and Kansas State - here are thoughts rolling through my head:

  • Nice to see the triple option from Army, as they have played a solid game (except for special teams) against a tough Temple team (did I just say that?)
  • The hurry up offense has moved north from Lubbock as Colorado is running it flawlessly against their state rivals
  • Never thought I would see Eastern Michigan leading ANYONE by 54 points!
  • Baylor is rolling it up against their opponent, but the question that I will wonder about all year - have they done enough regarding all of the sexual allegations against their program?
  • It is nice seeing Syracuse playing Colgate, but this is their only game scheduled against one another.  Come on guys, sign some contracts!
  • Speaking of contracts, kudos to The Citadel and Charleston Southern for renewing their city rivalry.  The Bucs agreed to play all the games on the Bulldogs campus because Johnson Hagood Stadium is significantly larger than their own Whitfield Stadium - which has a capacity of only four thousand (not a typo)
  • Nice performance by Louisville QB Lamar Jackson as he accounted for 8 TDs - in the first half
  • Not a great performance by Tennessee, but I'm sure that if you asked them - it is better to comeback and win late than cough up a lead late and lose.  
  • Lastly, did you know that there were 45 games played last night in Divisions II and III?
