Herm Edwards (You play to win the game!)

Back in college now.

Herm Edwards is only getting started at Arizona State

Herm Edwards has cracked college football.

He hasn't broken it -- yet? -- but this season's most unconventional new hire has Arizona State at 2-0 after last week's 16-13 win over the No. 15 Michigan State. Edwards outfoxed one of the country's best coaches in Mark Dantonio during a winning 69-yard drive by forcing timeouts and simply playing for a field goal while bleeding the final 4:55 off the clock.

"He out-chested the very fine Dantonio when he took that last timeout," ASU athletic director Ray Anderson told ESPN. He stood under the winning goalposts during Brandon Ruiz's 28-yard kick. "That was it. I'm not sure folks anticipated he would do that.

"That was really gratifying to see because some of the folks wanted to doubt the intellectual capacity [of Edwards]. I think he has quieted that noise quite well."

Arizona State enters Week 3 ranked No. 23, its first AP ranking since the 2015 preseason. Now Edwards has to make sure his team doesn't waste its promising start when it goes on the road to play San Diego State (1-1).

On Tuesday, Edwards surprised players and coaches with a slideshow of a man blowing up a balloon until it got too big and popped. The symbolism was obvious, but Edwards won't miss an opportunity to send his team a message.

"You gotta stay humble and hungry, man," Edwards said. "That's how we function around here.

"They're getting a good feel for who I am when it comes to that stuff because I create chaos all the time around here, but you have to be able to function in it."

For the fifth straight season, it was all Ohio State in its annual matchup vs. Rutgers. The fourth-ranked Buckeyes rolled the Scarlet Knights, 52-3, and it did so behind a historic day from its quarterbacks. Long story short: Backup Tate Martell set the program record for completion percentage in a game, completing 10 of 10 passes, and starter Dwayne Haskins completed 20 of 23 for four more touchdowns, giving him nine scoring strikes through two weeks.
