Even though there are still a few games remaining on the week-one docket, we’ve seen enough action to review what happened on the gridiron this weekend. Here are some takeaways: New defensive coordinator John Chavis will have Texas A&M in contention for the SEC West title this fall. In his first game with the Aggies, […]

Texas A&M starts another season with a win, but from a different angle

The first Saturday of the 2015 FBS college football season was a day of repetition in certain ways. Earlier in the day, in Atlanta, an SEC West team in search of improved defensive identity under a new coordinator — playing in a neutral-site NFL stadium against a Power 5 non-conference opponent coached by someone who […]

Texas needs more than a Strong coach; it needs patience

Texas. The state, the name, the university — they’re all shaped by football. The sport is so ingrained into the fabric of life for many Texans that it’s completely realistic to expect the flagship university in the state to be consistently excellent, or at least very good, in the province of pigskin. Texas — the […]

We are… waiting to see what James Franklin does at Penn State.

We Are… Not Good: Penn State gets its bell rung by Temple

0 comments by on 9/5/2015

In week one of a season, it’s never a good idea to lose. It’s especially not a good idea to lose when you’re Penn State and the other team is Temple. The Nittany Lions hadn’t lost to Temple in 39 games. The Blue and White had not suffered a defeat against the Philadelphia foe since […]

Auburn and Louisville face QB questions after the Tigers’ narrow win

0 comments by

Auburn and Louisville are in similar situations: quarterback play will likely determine how far each respective squad goes. Yet, on Saturday in the season opener for these teams, a peculiar thing happened: Auburn won not because of quarterback play, but in spite of it. Louisville got the better of the battle at that one position […]

This is a pass play that developed into a quarterback scramble. It’s an appropriate visual for a team that needed rushing yards far more than passing yards last season.

That’s one way to get off the field. One very funny and creative way.

Stanford coach David Shaw has lost games with his decisions in the past. On Saturday, he won because an opposing coach made a poor decision in a tipping-point moment.

Questions aplenty for Stanford after upset loss

It is in the nature of college football teams to not show their very best in the first game of the season. Rust. Nerves. Uncertainty about the ways in which lineups will or won’t mesh. Replacing lots of new starters. Seeking continuity against an opponent, not just your own players in training camp. No one […]

WATCH: Kansas loses in new, horrifying (hilarious) fashion

0 comments by

Kansas was trying to mount a late rally to tie or take the lead against South Dakota State. With time winding down, they needed to spike the ball for clock purposes. This happened: That’s right, they fumbled the snap trying to spike it, then fell on the ball to kill the clock. On a day […]

It all Fitz together for Northwestern in an upset of Stanford

0 comments by

While most FBS college football teams went the cupcake route in week one — as is standard practice in the industry — the Northwestern Wildcats and Stanford Cardinal decided to tackle a challenge in week one. This approach naturally invites risks, chief among them the distinct possibility that if you’re sloppy or nervous or timid […]

0 comments by on 9/4/2015

Ordinarily in this weekly segment our goal will be to highlight one particular uniform to be worn during the college football season that specific week. However, this week is going to be a little different. There are far too many uniforms to discuss on the opening weekend, so I have chosen three uniforms to point […]
