All things considered, 4-1 is a good start, and we should be able to continue that momentum with this week’s slate of games.

Power rankings are a complete fabrication for the first few weeks of the season, because there isn’t enough data and it’s easy to construe the limited game results we have in ways that will look silly at the end of the season. Ole Miss scored 76, Florida put up 61, Tennessee had 59 and UGA had 51 points in three quarters of play. Wisconsin also dropped out of the rankings after losing to Alabama. “Now we’ve got to go do it every week”.
That starts Saturday against FCS foe Cal Poly.
“I think the SEC should have 25 teams in the Top 25”, LSU coach Les Miles told reporters Tuesday.
“Any team that has dreams of playing at the highest level realizes they have to have depth because you’re going to, through the course of the season, have some injuries”, UCLA coach Jim Mora Jr. said.
Well it’s only one week but I would not have figured that the Arkansas Razorbacks QB would have had the most passing yards in any one game this season. And should the wins by the SEC catapult their conference to an historic number of ranked teams? But, any school that throws the ball successfully in the first half will be free to laugh in the second half while Bielema chokes on a chicken wing trying to keep his blood sugar up.
TAMU. Before the first week of games, I wrote, “The offense will be awesome but one-dimensional”.
-LB Salamo Fiso was one of the leaders in a defensive front that mostly did a nice job against the Texas A&M running game. Davis rushed for 115 yards against Baylor.
Vanderbilt. The defense looked vastly improved, and Western Kentucky is no pushover. “He runs the defense and makes most of the calls”. Texas A&M freshman receiver Christian Kirk made an immediate impact, grabbing six catches for 106 yards and a score and recording a 79-yard punt return.
Kansas State President Kirk Schulz quickly tweeted an apology for the performance, and band director Frank Tracz issued a statement Sunday in which he said “there was absolutely no intent to display anything other than the Enterprise and the Jayhawk in battle”. Bercovici, who was sacked nine times, will be able to let it fly against Cal Poly. USF will be tested this week as they travel to Tallahassee to take on the Florida State Seminoles.

QUOTE TO NOTE: “So it’s not about talking about doing it, it’s about action”. I wasn’t really too down about how they played. “I love the defensive line and the way they attack the quarterback”. Going on the road to play Mississippi State is a really hard match-up for any team. “I’m always honest.” – Coach Todd Graham, talking about his team moving past the loss to Texas A&M.
