Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football (bus tokens are sold separately in Boise (1)):
Football returned last weekend, and amid all the uncertainty surrounding the sport, it's reassuring to see that some things remain the same Ohio State (2) can play defense with or without Jim Tressel., Closing out the program recognizes the dire Akron has now scored a total of 10 points in the last three seasons opener. Oklahoma State (3) can score no matter who was calling plays, racking up 61 points without getting a touchdown from wide receiver Justin Blackmon, who has 21 of them last year. And Lane Kiffin (4) can still call for two-point conversion no good reason. Pure genius.
But with each new season comes a new dynamic, and this Saturday we get a big: a true night game at Michigan Stadium (5).
