The craziness is back (Footblog)

The craziness is back

Well the opening Saturday of college football has come and gone, and it was pretty normal for college football standards.

USC was impressive

Ohio State won easily, but stud tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells (I won't call anyone Beanie, just won't) went down with a foot injury. X-rays were negative but it has not been diagnosed yet.

Missouri rolled to a 52-42 win over Illinois, but Tigers star wide receiver Jeremy Maclin went down with an injury.

Appalachian State was not able to make lightening strike twice against LSU.

Clemson proved once again that they can't win a big game.

P.J. Hill showed no ill signs from his injury last season as he ran all over Akron.

Skip Holtz, son of good ole' Lou Holtz, led his East Carolina Pirates to an upset over Virginia Tech.

Dave "I no longer have a job" Wannstedt and his Pitt Panthers, considered by some media outlets to be a preseason Big East contender, drop their opener to a school that sounds more like bocce ball, Bowling Green.

And finally, good ole' Rich Rodriguez, making his coaching debut at Michigan, learned he doesn't have a quarterback. Or an offense for that matter, as the Wolverines dropped their second-straight home opener to Utah.
