Takeaways From CFB Week 1
I know the first week of college football is stressful and difficult to get all the information from all the games. Don't worry I got you guys the information you need to stay up to date in college football.
Colorado IS LEGIT
Coach Prime's debut in Fort Myers was nothing less than spectacular and electric as they went on to beat #17 TCU 45-42. TCU was a 20.5 favorite to win this game.
New QB1 in town
Shredder Sanders, son of Deion Sanders showed that the pressure has not gotten to him. He put the league on notice with his over 500 passing-yard performance, the most in Colorado history in his first game. He went 38 to 47 throwing a completion percentage of 80% and 4 touchdowns to go with it. Colorado true freshman back Dylan Edwards scored 4 touchdowns, including a vital fourth-down catch that gave the Buffs a 45-42 lead.
TRAVIS HUNTER ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!
The kid will win the Heisman. “I’m not tired. I’m ready to go back again.” These are the words of a legend in the making. This is after a player who paid 144 snaps, offense, and defense in 100-degree weather against a school that competed in the national championship just 8 months ago.
The former No. 2 overall recruit in the 2022 class received a cornerback grade of 86.3, according to PFF, the most in the Power Five in Week 1. Hunter had nine targets, and he forced three more incomplete passes than were permitted catches. That doesn't even take into account his daring interception in the end zone.
Noles roll 45-21 over LSU
Over 65,000 fans packed the season opener with number 5 LSU vs. Number 8 FSU in Orlando.
The game started with LSU quarterback Jayden Daniel delivering a 55-yard bomb to running back Tre Bradford to get in the red zone. However, the theme of the game was FSU's defense. The Tigers had 7 plays in the red zone to score and it led to a sack on 4th down.
The star of the show was a student transfer receiver from Michigan State, Keon Coleman. He finished with 122 receiving years, 9 reception, and 3 scores. The Jordan Travis - Keon Coleman connection looks very strong to start the year. Wide receiver Johnny Wilson also had a stellar performance ending with 104 yards on 7 catches.
Jordan Travis was getting his way and delivered some Heisman buzz. He completed the game by going 23 for 31 for 342 yards and four touchdowns while adding 38 yards and a rushing touchdown.
The second half was just all Florida state. They put up 31 second-half points to their 14 in the first half. Daniels and the LSU offense were struggling to get on the board in the second half, only scoring a late garbage-time touchdown. Jayden Daniels was getting pressured on every possession, as FSU recorded 4 sacks and 5 tackles for loss.
Other key takeaways:
Micheal Penix Heisman lookout: Penix threw for 450 yards and 5 touchdowns for Washington's 56-19 victory against Boise State.

BAYLOR WHAT HAPPENED?? Another big upset as Texas State was a 27z5 underdog against Baylor and won outright 42-31 in Mclane stadium. First-ever win vs. a Power 5 opponent. WOW
