What Did We Learn From UCF After 40-32 Loss To LSU In Fiesta Bowl

UCF for the longest time has said they deserved to be in the College Football Playoffs, and with this loss, they have shown a great desire, but still not up to elite competition. I'm not saying that UCF played badly today, but they left a lot of plays on the field. To beat a team like LSU you must make those plays when given the opportunity. Better scheduling is something that UCF needs to do which will make them an even tougher team to handle.

LSU did show why they are an elite program by ending UCF winning streak and doing it with a depleted secondary. When it looked like UCF was going to make it close give LSU credit they did enough to keep them at bay. LSU is a program that will only get better and this Fiesta Bowl win can't hurt recruiting either. This was an entertaining game and both teams showed that they both belong in this type of game. On this day though LSU was just the better team right now.

College Football Week One Notes

With the first weekend of College Football almost over lets take a look back at what we have learned so far about teams and the season. One of the first things we learned was LSU's Les Miles can coach with the best of them. Even with all the off the field problems he got his Tigers ready to play and beat Oregon by a score of 40-27.

Then we have Notre Dame who seems to have a quarterback issue right now. They started Dayne Crist who struggled in the first half and got Notre Dame in a big hole against South Florida. Tommy Rees came in the second half and almost rallied Notre Dame to the win, but the Irish fell 23-20. It will be interesting to see who starts for Notre Dame in their next game.

Boise State is a team everyone wants to hate it seems, but they keep winning and this weekend opener was no exception. They easiy handled Georgia by a 35-21 score. It seems no matter what happens new players are added into the system and they keep rolling along. I guess nothing changes at Boise State except the names. They always say winning breeds winning.
