Still one game to go, but here is a recap of Week
Of course the big news from the big mouth Prime is that Colorado is for real. Putting in the biggest “us against the world” mantra ever, Prime said “"We told you we coming. You thought we was joking and guess what, we keep receipts." Ignoring the pathetic grammar - No doubt it was a stunning win. Most everyone was hoping his callous revamp of the roster would fall flat on its face. But it didn’t. It worked.
Lost in all the hoopla about his kid at QB and Travis Hunter's brilliant tow way play, was that his OC is an offensive master mind. Sean Lewis implemented his Flash Fast offense in Boulder and it worked to perfection.
But it was against a Sonny Dykes defense that has always struggled keeping opponents out of the end zone. A better test will come this week against Matt Rhule and Nebraska.
Colorado is the team everyone is going to love to hate.

As for Nebraska, new coach, same result. The Huskers threw a pick with less than a minute to go at midfield. Minnesota took the gift and kicked the winning FG at the buzzer to win 13-10. Nebraska is now 2-14 in one possession games since the start of 2021.
Colorado may have been 21 point dogs to TCU but it wasn’t the biggest upset of the weekend. Texas State beat Baylor 42-31. As 27 point dogs. It was the Bobcats first ever win over a Power 5 team and they did it using 51 new players on the roster this year. Second only to Colorado. Baylor HC Dave Aranda had one great year in 2021 when he went 12-2 but otherwise his record is 8-15. Look to fade the Bears
Look to fade Florida too. The Gators lost 24-11 to Utah without the Utes star QB Cam Rising. Florida is now 7-17 against Power 5 teams. A record in line with Missouri, Cal and Syracuse.
Add South Carolina to the fade list. The OL is horrible. Against North Carolina, a team that regards defense as optional, The Cocks let up 9 sacks and generated -2 yards rushing. 15 of those on a QB Spencer Rattler scramble. South Carolina lost to the Heels 31-17.
I hated to see him go but Keon Coleman had a fantastic debut with Florida State. On the biggest stage of the weekend, he had 9 receptions for 112 yards and three TDs He made the right move for him. He’ll get plenty of exposure in a CFP contender rather than getting buried in the Big Ten East. He called for the ball and delivered a spectacular grab for a TD. The NFL scouts were impressed.

Boston College HC Jeff Hafley is firmly on the Hot Seat. After going 3-9 last year, he started out the season with a loss to the Rocky Lombardi led (yes he is still around) Huskies of Northern Illinois. It was the second win by NIU over an ACC team after beating Georgia Tech in the 2021 season opener.
Sorry Dwink, but Army season looks to be a disaster. Swapping out the traditional triple option offense for a shotgun offense resulted in a 17-13 loss to a bad UL Monroe team, averaging 3.5 yards rushing on 50 attempts.
Granted it was New Mexico, but Texas A&M and new OC Bobby Petrino just hung 52 points on the Lobos in a 52-10 win.
