Week 1 Ups and Downs
Minnesota Gophers. Yeah, they lost to a better Ohio State team, but they showed they could burrow through roots and rocks and other dirty things to make a game of it, showing how rodents are the most underrated of nasty animals in college football.
Nebraska. Scott Frost has placed the Huskers in a colder deep freeze than we could have imagined. But then again, with a name like that….
Bob Stoops. He made his debut on the Fox college football stage on Thursday night in Minnesota. Nice to see his blunt enthusiasm on the screen (and his plug for old buddy Kevin Wilson, the O-Coordinator at Ohio State who expertly called the plays in the Buckeye’s win over the Gophers.) Stoops will be at home for the OU-Nebraska game on September 18.
