There’s college football today! Yay!
Did I mention there’s college football today? Here’s the slate of games:
There’s something for everybody there, from a full-blown conference meeting between Nebraska and Northwestern, to some very late night Hawai’i action (if nothing else, Vanderbilt gets a nice trip out of it).
What catches your eye there, or is it simply a case of being satisfied there’s college football again?
Get The Picture 
Now we just needs some cool crisp mornings to go with it.

If USC fired Clay Helton when they should have, I REALLY would have been right-on.
But yeah, I knew that asshole wouldn’t last longer than a year in Jacksonville. However, I would hazard a guess that most people here would have bet on the same thing, too.

Ryan Hilinski threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns to help Northwestern rally to a victory in the season opener before 42,699 fans at Aviva Stadium in the Irish capital.
Frost took the blame for a failed onside kick that changed the momentum of the game in the third quarter.
“I made that call so that’s on me,” Frost said of the decision after the Huskers took a 28-17 lead. “At that point in the game, I thought all the momentum was on our side. I thought if we got it, we could end the game.
“You can’t really foresee them scoring 14 straight and us sputtering after we played well to start the second half on offense. Again those are excuses. If I had (to do) it over, I wouldn’t make the call.”

He gone. Only question is, does it happen after 01-Oct-22 when his buyout gets cut in half, or do they keep him through the end of the season because he’s a “favored son?”
If I were Alberts, who is a guy I really like and whom I think will be a great AD, you fire him immediately following the game the week his buyout goes fro $15M to $7.5M, and then you work like a devil to get a coach signed in the next month so they can work on recruiting because of the early signing day.
Just another reason to revamp the recruiting calendar and get rid of early and late signing day, and simply have signing day happen the week after the National Championship. So, between the 15 and 20th of January or so.

Apparently defense is optional in this CLT-FAU game. Plus, these games are pretty interesting to see where a lot of these players turned up, Hellinski (from Sackerlina) to NW, N’kosi Perry (from Miami) to FAU, and probably more that I missed.

Hellinski actually looked pretty good today. It was against Nebraska so you can’t really judge it. Northwestern appears to be back to being a team that is gritty and can give some of the big boys fits on any given day.
