Thank God or whoever you pray to because College Football IS BACK, BABY. And while it was only the first week, there was a lot of great stuff that happened and a lot of stuff that I didn’t like that happened. So without further ado, let’s start with the good stuff.
Side note: Thinking of a name for this little weekly article thing. “Colin’s 6 Takes” sounds cool but boring. Oh well, back to football.
3 things that I liked from week one
- For the love of Yosef can we please rank App State? It’s only been one week and they’ve already made a strong case by taking #10 Penn State, (in Happy Valley, mind you) to overtime when they were 24.5 point underdogs. And ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this. Because if you rewind back to 2016, you’ll see that the Mountaineers aren’t afraid of the bright lights because they took it to Tennessee and lost on the most bullshit of plays I’ve ever seen in my life. So please AP Voters, if you’re out there reading this, put a vote in for App State.
- Don’t you EVER count out LSU Football. They have a formula for great success year in and year out being that they have a historic program and a lovable head coach. I mean how can you not love Ed Orgeron? But what you can love more is that the offense is more balanced in play calling with Joe Burrow under center than ever before. The power run is still a main part of their game but the fact that there is a threat of a competent passing attack that can nickel and dime you all over the field is truly scary. The SEC West is going to be one hell of a race towards the end of the year now.
- Liberty Football, welcome to the show. You made your case as strong as ever that you belonged with the big boys with a complete THROTTLING of Old Dominion to the score of 52-10. To any Liberty fans, we at Belly Up Sports sincerely hope you have an excellent first season in the FBS. Except for when you play Virginia because I hope we beat the absolute shit out of you. 🙂
Now, on to the things I really did not like
- Did the state of Florida just forget how to play football? I mean besides the University of Florida and UCF, I’m in a state of complete shock at Miami and Florida State. Miami you played like what you wore Sunday night: garbage. And Florida State, I’m sorry but the Seminoles played like the US Government was wrongfully taking away your land. Just completely disappointed from those performances.
- Virginia Tech is notorious for doing dirty stuff but to have the gaul to fake injuries to stop drives because you can’t beat a team straight up? Come on now. That is a new low. Even Kirk Herbstreit called you all out on the broadcast for killing drives and momentum by pretending to be injured. That shit is classless and I have lost a lot of respect for the program (Not that I had much in the first place).
- Michigan State is a sorry excuse for a top 25 program. That’s simply a fact (trademark of Jordan Moore). I mean MSU was absolutely torched by a true freshman QB from a G5 school and saved by dumb penalty calls in towards the end of the game. All in all it was an excellent game to watch but Utah State has no business hanging around a team like Michigan State. Don’t be surprised if MSU goes 7-5 this year.
That’s all for this week folks! Come back next week for a recap of week 2 and if you’re going to any College Football games, just remember to baby sip until you puke.
