Weekend Wrap
/I am thinking that college football fans will agree that this weekend turned out as advertised. What a great few days of games! There are those ready to pronounce their playoff projections (me included - but it might be a couple of weeks before that section gets created), but it is only one week in a very long season, which might make these first games completely irrelevant. After all, a loss now is much better than in the 4th week of November...
With that said, here are some Tuesday evening thoughts:
- Some QBs had great games, but to me, the best performance came from Nick Chubb. The Georgia RB rushed for over 200 yards in his comeback from a knee injury against a ranked UNC team
- Very inspirational to see James Conner return from cancer for the Pitt Panthers
- The tear jerker moment of the week occured when Nebraska lined up in punt formation minus their punter in memory of their fallen punter, Sam Foltz, who died in a July car crah
- Kudos to Fresno State for declining the delay of game penalty against the Huskers on that play
- Is there anything more important to running a successful program than great coaching and great depth? Case in point - Alabama and USC. One has it, and one doesn't. Others like Alabama that come to mind: Clemson, Ohio State, and Florida State
- Will Stanford be added to the above mentioned group?
- LSU needs a QB - again
- Houston is well-coached, and quite talented - but I see them stubbing their toe later in the year just like against UConn last year
- Best wins for me: Army, Wyoming, Eastern Michigan, and Colorado
- Worst Losses: USC, Vanderbilt, Maine, and North Dakota
- Almost forgot to give these FCS teams a big slap on the back: Richmond, Eastern Washington, Northern Iowa, and Albany. Nice job beating your FBS opponents!
