Though it looked, sounded, and felt much different than in years past, college football season is finally here. With altered schedules and postponements galore, (most of) the Big 12 and participating NCAA teams kicked off their seasons this past weekend. And even though this nation is still dealing with a global pandemic, the Big 12 Conference proved some things would never change — like embarrassing yourself on national television.
As the first game of the day, once-ranked Iowa State kicked off the season in tremendous fashion, losing at home to the Sun Belt Conference’s Louisiana Lafayette, 31-14. Not more than 30 minutes later, Kansas State gave up the game winning touchdown to another Sun Belt school, losing to visiting Arkansas State 35-31.
