Oregon took an early lead against Northwestern
Bryce Underwood accounted for three total touch
Jeremiah Smith went off for two touchdowns and
Don’t ever count out Kirby Smart.
It’s not a smart thing to do (pun!). It’s downright silly, honestly. Gone, it seems, is that vaunted defense of his from years past. Last year’s starting quarterback is absent too. The depth on the offensive and defensive lines, so evident at Georgia in the pre-NIL era, just isn’t there in this strange new world of college athletics.
And despite that, Smart and the Bulldogs find a way to win, especially against the poor Tennessee Volunteers.
WEST LAFAYETTE — The mental preparation was there for a 3:40 p.m. kickoff.
Purdue football had to pivot its focus due to Mother Nature having other ideas.
Lighting delays and thunderstorms pushed the start of the Boilermakers‘ Big Ten opener against USC to 6:45 p.m.
Then again, so did USC and without the comfort of a cozy home locker room.
Still, it was Purdue which looked flat early against the Trojans once the game began.
USC led 17-3 at halftime on its way to a 33-17 victory.
STATE COLLEGE – Penn State’s defense dominated Villanova in the final non-conference tuneup Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The offense, though, remained a work in progress in the second-ranked Nittany Lions’ 52-6 victory before an announced crowd of 109,516.
“Offensively we’ve just been inconsistent,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “We have to improve on third down. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. Then we have to be more explosive overall. There’s a lot more room for growth in that area.
Look, we all have eyes. We all saw the same thing tonight in The Horseshoe. Bo Jackson is the best running back on Ohio State’s roster, and while he still has things that he needs to improve upon — as all true freshman RBs do — he gives the Buckeyes the best chance to have a productive running game, and therefore, the best chance to win.
At this point, this column isn’t arguing for Bo Jackson to be Ohio State’s RB1; it’s just stating a fact: Bo Jackson is Ohio State’s RB1.
