If people say football is back once fall is here, this is not the case. Football is back right now ladies and gentlemen!
Baseball season is dying down and people are slowly transitioning from baseball to football. If you are someone like me, you have been waiting for this moment since August; your baseball team is not doing so hot and you need football to be back.
College football is here, and it is here to stay. Well at least until the start of the new year. Georgetown fans were able start off the season in a much more exciting way than other fans. The Tiger season opener was on August 25 against Warner University.
Fans were able to see the
Tigers play well in all aspects as they went on to win the game 49–0. Georgetown excelled both offensively and defensively as they racked up 379 total yards of offense and forced four turnovers.
You don’t have to just be a Georgetown fan to enjoy college football. College football season however, really took pff this past weekend as many local teams were in action.
We saw the Kentucky Wildcats play a tough home opener against Central Michigan. It was a pretty tough fought game for the first half as Kentucky only led by a point. In the second half, the defense stepped up not allowing Central Michigan to score, as the Wildcats went on to win 35–20.
Louisville did not get any luck in their season opener as they had to travel to a neutral site and play against number– one–ranked Alabama. Many thought this game was going to be closer than what it was, but Alabama was able to take control early to win 51–14.
Upset alert! The University of Cincinnati traveled to UCLA as a fourteen–point underdog and gave the Bruins everything they had. It was back and fourth the whole game until late in the fourth quarter. Cincinnati was hanging on to a two–point lead until they converted on fourth down to get a late TD and won 26–17.
College football fans get excited; this is just the start of a spectacular season. Games to watch this upcoming week are Kentucky vs Florida as the Wildcats travel away from home. Keep an eye on a PAC–12 match up as Stanford hosts the Trojans of USC.
