Game of the Week: Tulane- 35 @ Oklahoma- 40
The first couple of weeks of the college football season always has some surprises. Just the week alone, 20th ranked Washington lost at home to Montana, Duke lost to Charlotte, and Michigan’s offense looked like a real offense! It was incredible! But there were some close calls for legit contenders in week one. Oregon narrowly defeated Fresno State and Iowa State just hung on to beat Northern Iowa. But the closest, of close calls, came on Saturday when Tulane almost shocked the country by going into Norman and fought the Sooners to the bitter end. Considering what the players and coaches must have gone through with Hurricane Ida raging havoc in Louisiana, it's incredible that Tulane was able to even play in the game, nevertheless take one of the best teams in the country down to the final minute.
Player of the Week: Bryce Young, QB, Alabama, 27-38, 344, 4 TDs
Alabama has another elite quarterback...what else is new? What is truly incredible, however, is that Bryce Young could be the best to ever walk through the doors of Alabama. It could be a bit of an overreaction, but for Young to put up those numbers, with a poise of junior or senior in college was truly remarkable. Young seems to possess the athleticism of Jalen Hurts, the accuracy of Mac Jones and the deep ball threat of Tua Tagovailoa. While it should be borderline dull for Alabama to be great once again, Bryce Young is going to be must-see TV.
