Yes! As a Kansas State fan I’m really looking forward to and worried about the Iowa State game in Dublin. Could decide the Big 12 on week 1!

I have to start being a University of Oklahoma fan this year, my daughter moves into her dorm this week. We are already planning to do some tailgating and catch a game or two in Norman with her.

Yup, it’s a big one! I think it’s technically a week 0 game, whatever that actually means.

Luke Fickell might consider getting some house packing quotes.

I'm just waiting to see what Bama brings to the table this year, hopefully some consistency in the quarterback position. Roll Tide!!!

How Nico Iamaleava plans to bring a ‘championship culture’ to UCLA

The Tennessee transfer will start in Los Angeles this season after leaving the SEC to play for the Bruins.

===========

Iamaleava aided Tennessee to a 10-3 record and a College Football Playoff appearance. The 6-foot-6 dual-threat quarterback threw for 2,616 yards last season with 19 touchdowns, five interceptions, and rushed for 358 yards with three running touchdowns. If Iamaleava can put up similar numbers again at UCLA, it’ll mean the Bruins are likely destined to have a much improved year.

UCLA is ecstatic that Iamaleava chose to come play for the Bruins, who play just 30 miles from his hometown of Long Beach, California. After finishing 5-7 last season, the expectation is that Iamaleava can help the Bruins string together wins and pull off upsets. UCLA head coach Deshaun Foster explained at Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas why he’s so enthusiastic to have a QB1 with a winning track record. Foster says “the sky is the limit” for Iamaleava and the Bruins this season.

“The arm strength is just something that you see just from watching him play at all, but he’s just a talent. It’s not anything that I saw him do last season,” Foster said. “It’s more of what I had seen him do all the way up. Him being a local quarterback, I had seen him play a few times, and he’s played with a lot of players that are on our team, so there’s a lot of familiarity there. We’re just excited to have a playoff quarterback, somebody that was able to lead his team to the playoffs.”

It's funny, I can't remember the last time I was concerned about the QB position for the Buckeyes. Gonna be an interesting year.

Just going to sit here quietly and see what little ol' Clemson can do.

Well getting the nation’s best recruits certainly reduces the drama in that department! I’m sure you’ll be fine.
