USC, Belichick, Florida State start seasons with wins & are NFL players coming back to college?
Description
Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first games of the college football season as Week Zero officially kicked off the year. He begins by reacting to #14 USC’s 16-point win over San Jose State and dives into whether Trojan fans should be excited or concerned with what they saw from the Trojans – and also gives his thoughts on the low fan attendance at the Coliseum for the opener. Klatt also discusses Bill Belichick’s North Carolina team pulling off the upset of TCU and whether we may have jumped to a conclusion on the Belichick era in Chapel Hill too early. Klatt shouts out Virginia for their blowout win and evaluates their potential to be this year’s Indiana in the ACC. Klatt also reacts to Memphis’ upset win over UNLV and it’s ramifications on the Group of 6 Playoff chase. He discusses Florida State’s lackluster win and explains why FSU is not the power they once were and how things could be about to go off the rails in Tallahassee.
Klatt wraps the show up by breaking down the latest eligibility issue in the sport as NFL players try to come back for one more year of college football, explaining how we got into this mess and where he stands on it – while pointing out a particular group that nobody’s talking about that is being negatively impacted as a result.
