Texas hasn't been boring to watch for the past couple years, but they're really firing and quite fun to watch to start the year. Reminds me of their hot start against Bama 2 years ago where Ewers looked like the next Manning (before looking like the next Deacon Hill the remainder of the time).

Texas OL looks like last year's Michigan OL. Ewers impressive as hell. Put a smart, poised QB behind that OL and things are going to happen.
He's been interesting to watch. 2 years ago he started out absolutely rockin against Bama and lit up OU - looking like a future GOAT in both. But he's just as frequently, if not more often, looking like the next Sam Darnold or Ryan Leaf.

It was amazing all offseason how little people talked about how much Michigan lost on the field and the impact of a new coach. I expect them to be a fringe Top 25 team as they have a lot of youth and the current roster doesn't have nearly the talent of their past few rosters.
I mean that's how preseason college rankings go. You're a blueblood that was good last year? Oh you're going to be good and maybe even better this year! No. Matter. What.

Michigan without Harbaugh is like Texas when Mack Brown stepped down! Seems like a good comparison.

Don't get me started on that - nothing more ridiculous than pre-season polls always ranking the brands super high despite every indication to the contrary (MI this year, TA&M and Miami every year, etc). AND it's nearly impossible to get them down or out to where they really belong because they refuse to recognize the pre-season rankings were ****.

If Goldie locks cant throw and is just a runner this year, he isn't going to make it all year.
The color commentator on this broadcast has sure loved every one of his 62 passing yards this half.

Not really Cinci/BYU look better than expected. Long way to go in Okie State/K state games.
Okie Lite and Purple Kitties are both getting their ass kicked. All the changes to college sports are beginning to bare their teeth. As planned.
