College football is back! And as much as things have changed, there's just as much that's stayed the same.
Carson Beck throws for 278 yards and two TDs in the 34-3 win as the Bulldogs leave the Tigers without a touchdown for the first time since their 2021 season-opening matchup. It's 2024, and if we're to believe the punditry, this will be unlike anything we've seen before in college football, which is saying something in a sport that had anjust nine months ago. But it's true that 2024 will feel an awful lot different than years past.
The game wasn't so much a reminder of Georgia's brilliance as it was a referendum that Clemson simply isn't in this class any longer. Or consider Ole Miss, where Lane Kiffin has embraced the transfer portal as much as anyone and, after Saturday's 76-0 win over Furman, seems to have embraced a buffet of rat poison, too. Good luck convincing an offense that hung 52 in the first half that it's not elite.
The fun of settling in for a new season, however, comes from just the right mix of seeing so many old friends creating the same magic they always have and still being surprised by another year of chaos and ridiculousness that inevitably surfaces over the course of three months in the fall.Cam Ward throws three touchdowns in his first game with the Hurricanes as they dominate Florida on the road.
But fear not, Western Pennsylvania insomniacs. Penn State may not lull you into a slumber anymore, but Steelers season starts soon.made his debut for Nebraska, completing 19 of 28 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-7 win over UTEP, making him the first Cornhuskers QB since 2017 to go an entire game without slipping on a banana peel, splitting his pants and falling face first into a bowl of soup.
But the new-look Hawkeyes finally got the offense figured out in the second half, and suddenly the fine folks in Iowa learned what a forward pass looked like.became the first Iowa QB to throw for 250 yards, three touchdowns and no picks in a game since 2021 , and the punter didn't even need an ice bath after the game.
Mr. and Mrs. Wuf took a ride in the Wuf-mobile before NC State kicked off against Western Carolina on Thursday, but the lady of the den couldn't quite manage the dismount. Sure, it wasn't exactly an emphatic win for Northwestern in Week 1, with the Wildcats narrowly escaping Miami , 13-6. But if the offense was nothing to look at, the views around Northwestern's makeshift stadium were spectacular.Saturday's win was Northwestern's 14th of the playoff era when scoring 21 points or less. Only Iowa has more among Power Five teams.
Nothing went particularly well for the Gamecocks, who were breaking in new starting QB LaNorris Sellers. He completed just 10 of 23 passes but did have a heck of a tackle .ODU actually grabbed a late 19-16 lead on a 33-yard field goal with 9:54 to play, but a Grant Wilson fumble -- one of three turnovers on the day for the Monarchs' QB -- gave the ball back to South Carolina at the 6-yard line, and the Gamecocks scored two plays later.
