1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. The B1G Labor Day started as small as it could.Rutgers -29.5 at kickoff; lost to UMass 21-37.In the preseason, CBS Sports ranked FBS teams 1 through 138. The UMass Minutemen were the Anchormen, coming in at No. 138.Adding insult to injury, Rutgers paid the Minutemen $1.55 million to visit Piscataway. That's a lot of money to P-away a game.Shame on Greg Schiano. The Scarlet (Faced) Knights' D was as bad as last season, and the O was mostly missing in action.What in Hades is Rutgers doing with its full share of media money?Beware Week 1 overreactions.

But it won't be easy.---1-0 No. 14 USC vs Fresno State - 6 PM FoxFresno is a better opponent than San Jose State, and in front of at least 54,000 fans, I think SC will keep the varsity on the field later into the 4th quarter and win convincingly in the B1G's first game versus the New World, Revived and Resurrected, Pac-8 plus Gonzo. 🤪BTW, SC's next two opponents? LA-LA in LA and Rutgers in P-town.---Winners!Minnesota 59 - FCS Eastern Illinois 7A tough week for E. Ill's Tony Romo wasn't much better for his alma mater.---No. 33 Illinois 42 - UAB 23A win fueled by an incredible end of the 2nd half Hail Mary TD for the Illini.But in the CBS Sports ranking mentioned above, the American Athletic Conference UAB Blazers team came in at No. 125.The switch on defense to a 3-3-5 base formation is a work in progress.---To date, the B1G is 1-0 vs the Mountain West, the American Athletic Conference, and the FCS.0-1 vs MACtion. 🤬---No. 7 Miami at 1-0 Stanford - 6 PM - ESPNThe Hurricanes blow into Palo Alto as a -24.5 favorite.But this is Mario at Stanford Stadium?😁BEAT BOISE!
