A new-look Oklahoma. A physical Arkansas squad. A North Carolina State team that isn't quite ready for the spotlight. These are some of the Week 1 college football observations by ericksmith
The 45-13 victory Saturday doesn't mean the Sooners are a lock to win the Big 12 or compete for the College Football Playoff. However, it was an important moment to kick off a new era for one of the elite programs in the sport.
The Razorbacks aren't sexy. They're just a physical, grinding team that will lure you into a slugfest and, more times than not, end up on the winning side. That's been the formula in the Sam Pittman era and it worked effectively against the Bearcats. However, there were two notable results from teams under the radar that are worth noting. Oregon State followed the momentum of last year's bowl season with an impressive win against perennial Mountain West power Boise State. The Beavers announced themselves as legitimate Pac-12 title contenders with a defense that blanked the Broncos in the first half and forced five turnovers in a 34-17 win.
