Iowa State denied Ferentz outright!

PSU finishes the game 34-0 though they looked unimpressive for the most part. I don’t know if it’s because of disinterest in their opponent or a general lackadaisical attitude or something else. James Franklin probably isn’t happy with this overall effort (I know I wouldn’t be if I were in his shoes).

Oregon 48-14 2 4 240

Well, there’s something to be said about consistency at the very least. That being said, Iowa St. seems pretty intent on denying him the record today.

Yeesh, they’re up only 10-0 and got their field goal blocked right before halftime. For all the hype around the amount of returning talent and the upgrades at WR they got through the portal, they’re really struggling on offense.

I don’t know if anyone else is watching the Penn St. game but they’re not looking very impressive against such a weak opponent in FIU…

It was a miracle that Penix and his 3 primary WR targets weren't injured over those 2 seasons....particularly given Penix's previous health history.

It's a good sign that Dak wants to be the best player he can possibly be. Pancake blocks by a WR of his size are a darn good start!

Watched some of the ESPN segment on week 1 reactions...I can't remember the last time I cringed so hard, the mental gymnastics some of those guys were doing to protect the SEC bias was mind-blowing.

I also noticed the QB under center and thought that was rather interesting. I wonder if that will become a regular part of play calling over the season.

Not to mention they’re now relying on Carson Beck, who I see as more of a game manager than an ultra talented Cam Ward who can take over a game.

If anything just to watch Cristobal make more terrible decisions on the field?

My understanding was that he was making solid progress last season until injuries derailed him. Hopefully he should pick back up that progress after a bit of time. He did have a solid 40 yard grab yesterday so that's a start.

If the Beavos were that bad (and from the stat board it certainly looks like it), I'd probably take Cal's offensive performance with a grain of salt. They barely cleared 360 yards of total offense after all.

Well they finally pulled away in the last quarter (not as impressive as it sounds). Reading through the game thread on a certain Fuskies fan site it grew to over 300 comments with the vast majority gnashing their teeth and freaking out. The most recent ones were doing mental gymnastics about how the Puppies actually "dominated" the game...riiiiiiiiiight.

I'm glad the freshman are getting some run early. It gives them valuable on field experience and builds their confidence. Remember back in the Chip Kelly says where the score was so far out of reach so early that nearly every game the 3rd and 4th stringers would have at least a full quarter on the field which prepped them well for the next season. That is a recipe for consistent long term success.

He would be definitely in the running at this moment, I'd also add Kasper as a possible WR3 as well.

I think even Montana State can handle that Husky offensive line!

CSU ties it right before half time!

I’m starting to get Bryan Harsin/Auburn vibes.

Puppies up a whopping 14-7 near the end of the 1st half and now they just fumbled away the ball off a bad snap. Cue Benny Hill theme music!

…they’re struggling against Colorado State. It’s hilarious!

Kalen's bunch got rolled 31-17 by the 'Noles. Roll over tide, you guys stank it up lol ESPNFlorida State 31-17 Alabama (Aug 30, 2025) Final Score -...Game summary of the Florida State Seminoles vs. Alabama Crimson Tide NCAAF game, final score 31-17, from August 30, 2025 on ESPN.

Can't really make a definitive judgement since it's the first game of the season against an FCS team. But there are good signs like the QBs making few mistakes and running the offense decently. Dante made some good defensive reads and Novosad's nice toss to Jay Harris, etc. Let's see how they look by week 4.
