Week 1 CFB
August 28 - September 1
Vanderbilt 34 at Miami Oh 13
First downs were even. Vandy only outgained Miami OH 360-340 yds. Vandy was +1 in trunovers and only had 2 penalties.
Miami OH should improve upon this effort and Vanderbilt will have a tough year in the SEC.
Temple 35 at Army 7
Army had 1 more first down. Army outgained Temple 284-250. Temple was +1 in turnovers, but had more penalties. Army had the ball almost a full quarter more than the owls. (14:00) Temple also had a fumble return and a kickoff return for a touchdown.
Army will have line value based on these numbers and Temple, although improved is still a bad team.
Utah 25 at Michigan 23
Utah dominated a game that they almost gave away. Utah had 5 more first downs and a 341-203 total yd advantage. The turnover battle was even, but Utah was penalized 15 times for 137 yds.
Utah is the real deal, and Michigan will continue to struggle to move the ball under the new system.
Memphis 24 at Mississippi 41
Memphis lost by 17 but had 9 more first downs and outgained Ole Miss 453-438 in total yds. Ole Miss won the turnover battle at +2, and benefited from 8 Memphis penalties. Memphis also controlled Time of Possession 34-26.
Mempis should be competitive when it returns to conference play.
Miss St 14 at La Tech 22
Miss St had 5 more first downs, and outgained LA Tech 348-269 in total yds. LA Tech won the turnover battle at +2 and was helped by 10 Miss. St penalties. Slight edge in T.O.P for Miss St. as well.
Miss. St played good enough to win on the road against a decent LA Tech team. They will have value going forward.
Bowling Green 27 at Pittsburgh 17
Pittsburgh lost the game but had 12 more first downs and a 393-254 total yds advantage. They also lost the turnover battle -3, but only were penalized 2 times. They controlled T.O.P as well. Inexcusable for this loss to this team.
Look for Pittsburgh to have value, and Bowling Green to receive too much credit for a win Pittsburgh gave them.
Oregon St 28 at Stanford 38
Oregon St. dominated a game they lost. They had 11 more first downs and outgaind Stanford 490-301 in total yards. The Beavers also lost the turnover battle (-3) and had 12 penalties.
Oregon St was the better team, although the scoreboad didn't show that.
