Week 1 is officially here, so might as well make a thread covering all the non-UVA games.
NCST in a fight with UConn at halftime 10-7. Armstrong has looked decent but Anae’s playcalling has been less than stellar. Also Utah is looking very good at UF without Rising at QB.
Watching the Nebraska at Minnesota game. From the crowd noise you’d think it wqs in Lincoln. It’s crazy the support Nebraska gets even without recent success.
I think Rhule turns things around there tbh. Highly doubt they get back to being a national powerhouse like they were in the 90’s but I think he gets them a lot of 8-10 win seasons. Question will be whether their fanbase is content with that success, they weren’t when Solich and Pelini were producing those results but maybe enduring the Riley/Frost tenures has humbled them.
That’s the death blow to places like Nebraska. Pelini had them at a 9 win program and the fans effectively chased them off. They are clamoring for 1996 and 2000 but those days are long gone.
Stanford has a couple of guys here and there, but overall their team looks very meh to me. Maybe Hawaii is a little bit better than expected (they played Vandy pretty tough in week 0) but color me unimpressed by the Cardinal.
