Florida-Utah on Thursday night became ESPN's most-watched college football opener since 2017:

Saint Nick finally breaks down and names Jalen Milroe the starter at QB over portal transfer from ND Tyler Buchner. won't stick imo. Milroe is absolute diarrhea dogshit at throwing the football, as in he literally cannot do it. Freak athlete. can run like the wind though. unless Little Nicky is going to run the Wing T or Triple option- that's not a startable QB imo. Bama QB situation is that bad he was the best option they had. Kinda nuts.
If Alabama ran the option, it'd be mid-90s Nebraska all over again.

Arizona State only beat Southern Utah by 3.

Southern Utah is not a very strong FCS team.
Much of the game was played in a haboob.

Central Michigan won 3 games last year and is starting a freshman at QB this year. Sparty was in an absolute dogfight at the half at home up only 3. Mel better tune it up and turn it on second half and they better pull away.

The halftime score don’t mean much.  It’s a 60 minute game. Especially first game.

I will admit it.  I had to look up the meaning of 
“haboob.”

I never knew there were words containing boob that were unfamiliar.

Florida is a poorly coached team with atrocious special teams and a truly god awful OL. That's a holy trinity for sucking ass at football.

I thought Florida's defense played pretty well all things considered- aside from that busted coverage by RJ Moten to start the game (btw you're welcome for him Florida). Utah's back-up QB was pretty mid- had a weak arm and forced a lot into tight coverage- should've had multiple picks. Utah's 3rd string QB is basically a running back who cannot throw the football for shit- dude looks like a midget with baby hands and he coughed the ball up a couple times- and was fortunate to have Utah recover- but boy is he fast and shifty as hell.

Florida probably loses by 30 if Cam Rising was healthy starting the game.
Wow, I didn't know it was possible to learn so much from one game.
If the guy doesn't jump offsides before the missed FG, Florida could have had the lead after bouncing back from an awful start.  We could have run the ball more and actually made use of the defense holding Utah impotent for a quarter and a half.  
.
A lot of went wrong could easily be cleaned up.  Florida could show a great improvement of the little things next week.  They either will or will not.  Luckily, there's 11 more games.

I say it every year,  Michigan State's field looks so good under the lights.  Best in BIG.    Only LSU looks this good.   Penn St is pretty good too.
