Now that the Buckeyes season-opener is behind us, here’s the rest of Week 1 games.
Well, Ohio State is 1-0 so far in the 2017 season, but it didn’t come without a slew of frustration during the first half. I imagine Urban Meyer’s head almost popped off his body during his halftime speech, because a little way into the third quarter things finally got exciting. The up-tempo offense started making positive gains -- and catches — and the secondary finally started turning their heads toward the ball in coverage.
The biggest problem with a Thursday night season-opener is what do you do with the rest of your weekend? Well, we’ve got you covered with all of the other college football action to get you through your long Labor Day weekend.
Most of the noteworthy games won’t be until Saturday, with ESPN’s “College GameDay” heading south to Atlanta for the top-3 matchup of No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 3 FSU. With Alabama being, well, Alabama, even with a surprising loss to the Noles, it likely won’t affect their run for the College Football Playoff.
Rival Michigan also kicks off their 2017 season Saturday against a very thin Florida team, that saw most of their starting talent suspended for the Week 1 contest. There was a bit of a coaches’ pissing match in the week leading up to the game with who would release their depth chart first (seriously), which leads me to believe that the players will be equally as chippy on the field.
And then in continuing the very strange Week 1 schedule, there is a night game on both Sunday and Monday. This will push the updated AP and Coaches Polls back to Tuesday, but with a Buckeye win Thursday, we should still be Top 5.
