1. Breaking the drought
- It just had been too long since we heard a marching band, saw a real cheerleader or saw a graphic telling us the running back who just broke a 34-yard run was majoring in social sciences.
- ESPN's resident quirky uncle seems to have developed a habit of grabbing hold of Kirk Herbstriet's arm when he is making a point. He also picked Clemson to win and put on a funny Tiger hat. That's good television.
- The Missouri Tigers' resident Devin Hester impersonator took a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and set up another score with a long punt return.
- For the second straight year, Michigan dropped their opener at home. This time the Wolverines were beaten by the Utah Utes. New coach Rich Rodriguez's spread offense was held to just 36 rushing yards.
