During Friday’s edition of ESPN’s College Football Live, senior college football writer/reporter Pete Thamel discussed the top-10 teams that lost in Week 1 – Texas (to Ohio State), Clemson (to LSU), Notre Dame (to Miami) and Alabama (to Florida State).
“I think the first thing we need to see is no panic,” Thamel said. “Even at Alabama – everything is still in front of these teams. This isn’t your father’s college football, where an early season loss undermines your entire season. So, I think these teams have to go back and forge an identity.
