Labor Day is behind us, and the kids are back in school. It’s officially football season!
What a first weekend of college football that was, last night’s game notwithstanding.
It started with the Backyard Brawl, the return of the border rivalry between the Pittsburgh Panthers and West Virginia Mountaineers. It was 60 glorious minutes of pure hate. What an atmosphere. Let’s not wait another 11 years to do it again.
The Big Ten came through on Thursday and Friday night with a pair of late fourth-quarter game-winning drives. First, the much-maligned Sean Clifford led the Penn State Nittany Lions 80 yards to paydirt in 85 seconds to come back against the Purdue Boilermakers.
