Florida, on the other hand, has the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and one of the best offenses in the country. While their defense is questionable, Hawaii should give them some good practice, which they will need before taking on the SEC.
6) No. 18 Tennessee at UCLA—8:00 on ESPN
Once again, I’ll give props to Tennessee for opening against a real opponent. How Tennessee won the SEC East last year is still a mystery to me, but don’t expect a repeat. With Erik Ainge gone, Tennessee hands the reins over to Jonathan Crompton, who will try to get the ball to Arian Foster and just stand aside.
Normally, I would give UCLA a chance, but since they really don’t have a QB (apologies to Kevin Craft), I really don’t expect much from them.
Extra Point
7) The extra point will be the same lament I have every year at this time. It’s tough picking good games at the beginning of the year since most colleges pick teams like St. Mary’s Nunnery as opponents.
While this does have its problems (look at Hawaii last year), most teams face no ill effects from this. While we all want the Appalachian State/Michigan replay, that only happens once in a lifetime.
That said, major props to USC going out and taking on all comers. If they win it all, no one can complain about their schedule.
Well, someone will complain, but we just won’t listen.
