Texas did the unthinkable. The Longhorns traveled down to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for what turned out to be a thriller of a game. The No. 11 Texas Longhorns faced off in a rematch versus the No. 3 team in the country, the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was looking for revenge from last season after going down with an injury in the second quarter that eventually led to a Texas loss. The Alabama team fans saw in this game was much different from what they showed in Week One against Middle Tennessee State.
Jalen Milroe struggled trying to get the offense going, as he threw two interceptions. Those two interceptions led to 10 points for the Longhorns.
Along with Quinn Ewers’s perfect night, penalties set back Alabama from being able to escape the game with a victory. Alabama was penalized 10 times for 90 yards, with two of those penalties having to take away touchdowns as well.
Texas would be able to squeak out a victory on the road with a 34-24 win.
College football Week Two answered many questions. Colorado surely had the answer to the question of whether or not their football team was legit.
After a dominant game against Nebraska, their team looks to be for real, and they will likely not go away anytime soon.
Even though Nebraska has not shown their best football in the last several years, it was still a good test for Coach Deion Sanders and his team to see how good they actually are.
With a slow start to the first quarter, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders came ready to play again. Sanders threw for 393 yards and added two more touchdowns as well.
Travis Hunter was able to play on both sides of the ball and excelled at both positions. The final score of the game was 36-14 in favor of the Buffaloes, resulting in many college football fans very impressed with the Buffaloes thus far.
Another notable game was North Carolina’s double-overtime win over Appalachian State. The Mountaineers always make this game exciting but never seem to come out on top.
The star quarterback of the Tar Heels, Drake May, usually is the talk of the game, but it was running back Omarion Hampton that stole the show.
Hampton ran for 234 yards, with a longest run of 63 yards, for the Tar Heels. He would also tack on three touchdowns too, and North Carolina won 40-34.
The No. 1 team in the land, the Georgia Bulldogs, faced Ball State, and they were able to dominate three out of the four quarters in this matchup.
After being tied 0-0 at the end of the first quarter, standout receiver Mekhi Mews took a 69-yard punt return to the house to get the Dawgs started on a 31-point second quarter. It was smooth sailing from then on out, and Georgia won the game 45-3.
Teams like Penn State, Duke and Florida State were all able to stay red-hot to start off the year, all winning their games very effortlessly.
College football delivered excitement to fans for yet another week, and it looks to continue to do so for the coming months.
