Couldn’t be happier that CFB is back. Below are some thoughts on the weekend.
13 Notre Dame vs. Navy
Notre Dame messed up by not wearing more Ireland-themed jerseys. Some Kelly green jerseys would’ve absolutely slapped. I did like the Irish Flag on the classic gold helmets though.
I really like Marcus Freeman and think he’ll be very successful at Notre Dame. Seems very energetic and his players absolutely love him.
The economic impact of the game on Dublin was $159 MILLION. That’s crazy and shows how there is nothing else like football on this planet and I love it.
Notre Dame should play in Ireland every year. The atmosphere was incredible.
Jason Garret should not be on TV. He is painfully awkward and brings nothing to the broadcast. I think I’d rather just have silence than listen to him stumble his way through irrelevant points.
6 USC vs. San Jose State
Caleb Williams is still amazing. Zachariah Branch also looks like an electric weapon for the Trojans.
As much as we heard about how USC rebuilt its defense, they still looked pretty bad and just allowed 28 points to San Jose State (I just found out this school existed earlier this week). The offense is going to have to continue to carry the team.
The fact this game was on the PAC-12 network and the only streaming services that have it are Sling and Fubo is exactly why the PAC-12 is dying.
Bonus: Swamp Kings Review
The Urban Meyer Florida Gators needed a documentary and Netflix delivered. I feel like those Gator teams get overlooked a little because they were sandwiched right between the early 2000s USC teams and the Saban Bama Dynasty, but this doc puts into perspective how good these teams were. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it.
Overall
Going to keep track of my game picks and betting picks throughout the year.
Game Picks: 2-0
Betting Picks: 2-2 (Spread: 2-0; O/U: 0-2)
