By week 0 standards, it was a pretty fun Saturday on the soft opening of college football season. It's the final week 0 we'll ever see, with the NCAA moving to eliminate schedule oddity starting next year. So what did we learn? Let's dive in.
Bill Belichick kicked off the college football season with an ugly, gutty win over TCU in Ireland. It was easily the best win so far of his college career, doing it with mostly underclassmen on his young roster. Through all the noise and the drama, Belichick did what he's done so many times — win.
That win was much more about the hapless TCU team that North Carolina played though. TCU's new pro-style offense looked good to start, but North Carolina overwhelmed them physically in the second half. Harvard transfer Jaden Craig couldn't get anything going through the air after receiving plenty of hype this offseason.
TCU was missing their top receiver, but it sure looks like the Horned Frogs are in for a long, long season in the Big 12.
From the jump in Charlottesville on Saturday afternoon, NC State was simply overmatched. It was a physical beatdown coming from the Cavaliers, as Beau Pribula operated Tony Elliott's power run game from the quarterback position to perfection. Pribula also hit a couple of passes down the field to step on the throat of the Wolfpack.
