Week 1 of the college football season is officially finished, as the Brigham Young Cougars throttled the Navy Midshipmen, 55-3, to close out the first weekend of play.
Speaking of BYU, USA TODAY Sports college sports editor Erick Smith wonders if the Cougars could go undefeated. They can run the table, and it likely won’t matter with the College Football Playoff committee, given the lack of schedule strength to schools in the Power Five.
Still on the topic of that game, Midshipmen defensive back Cameron Kinley said that “(i)t was weird seeing the empty stands… Felt like a scrimmage I guess you could say.” Perhaps, the road victory should have an asterisk as this was not the typical setting for a game at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium.
Meanwhile, the Tulsa-Oklahoma State football game was postponed to Sept. 19 due to COVID-19 protocols. Oklahoma State will have to wait one more week to begin its football season.
