The good and bad from Norman and all around college football in week 1:
Texas. Losing the opener for the second year in a row to a mediocre Maryland team is a setback for Tom Herman. He is quickly moving to the non-DKR list of UT coaches. The Longhorns play Tulsa this weekend.
Props to Teddy Lehman for his first game as color commentator on the Sooner Radio Network.
Kirk Herbstreit. In addition to his goofball praise of Texas before week one, Herby now says you have to take into account who Oklahoma played — but then lauds Ohio State for beating Oregon State. Huh? We’ll take FAU over the Beavers any day.
Fox’s Joel Klatt. Here’s his Top 5 this week: 1. Alabama 2. Oklahoma 3. Ohio State 4. Georgia 5. Clemson.
Michigan has lost 17 consecutive road games against ranked opponents. Jim Harbaugh holds a 1-6 record against rivals Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State. Let that sink in. Here is one writer’s take.
Lee Morris. After blocking a punt and making a stellar yard-after-catch TD against FAU, he is now a scholarship player! Congrats!
