Season starting in earnest tonight. EIU at Illinois ready to kick off momentarily.
A bit surprised that Coach Prime scheduled a Dakota school, especially North Dakota State, for Week 1.

Most football schedules are set YEARS in advance.

That QB for EIU looked like a fat out of shape 40 year old that was looking to get out some frustration.
Could be another long year for the Panthers.

That QB for EIU looked like a fat out of shape 40 year old that was looking to get out some frustration. Could be another long year for the Panthers. That game last night was an aberration for EIU. I didn't think they would win but I thought it would end up being closer than it did. Holley is the preseason OVC/Big South offensive player of the year and is a lot better than what he showed. EIU was picked to finish 2nd in the OVC/Big South in the preseason poll and last night's result doesn't make me think they'll be that bad (so long as they can stay healthy of course). They return their entire front 7 on defense though their secondary could be an issue as they only return one starter. For all we know, by the end of this season, EIU could end up at 8-4 or 9-3 and in the FCS playoffs and Illinois may end up having another 5-7 season.

Top games this weekend include Clemson-Georgia (in Atlanta), Penn State-West Virginia, Notre Dame-Texas A&M, and USC-LSU (in Las Vegas). Among the state schools, there's ISU at Iowa, SIU at BYU, and WIU at NIU.
College Gameday has been in College Station this morning.

Brian Kelly went off after LSU lost another season opener, last night to USC:
He has not won a season opener since he began his tenure in Baton Rouge.

Alabama looked like the players were having fun. This is not a Nick Saban coached team. They will be explosive and if their team's youth steps up, they'll be hard to beat.
Clemson looked very average but who knows perhaps Clemson is in a class of their own.

Looks like Florida State may be overrated this season.
