Opening weekend always delivers a little bit of everything that makes fans say, "Only in college football."
Week 1 of the 2025 season was no exception. From clever trick plays and viral mascots to trash talk backed up on the field, Saturdays in the fall once again proved unmatched.
South Florida pulled off a perfectly executed fake punt to stun Boise State, while Taylor Swift turned heads at Arrowhead Stadium by cheering on Travis Kelce's Bearcats. A namesake return man brought back Devin Hester memories, a mascot lost its head (literally) and Lee Corso's old teams delivered a storybook tribute.
