South Carolina's offense wasn't pretty but there were a few bright points. Giles made a freshman mistake running backwards on one play, but his one run where he knocked the guy over showed his potential. Maddox did well running up the middle, but Giles appears to be the home run threat. Gurley caught a few passes in the first half and looks to be a big, physical threat in the future. Garcia was less than stellar and showed he still has work to do, but give him credit that he did what he had to do to win. Carolina has a ton of work to do on offense, but the defense was sound, despite the absence of some defensive lineman. If the offense can step it up, Carolina will be able to compete with some SEC teams but if they perform like they did tonight it could be a long season.
Indiana and Iowa State are both going to finish near or at the bottom of their conferences and neither was stellar in their openers tonight. Utah State had the score close at times, but Utah did what they had to do to win.
Boise State appears to be the non-BCS school to watch this season. Harper and Avery are doing well on the ground against Oregon and Kellen Moore is hitting everything he has to. The Boise State offense is very efficient and I'm surprised they only have 19 points in the third quarter.
Oregon just looks flat out lost out there. They seem to be waking up now, driving right down the field as I type. Masoli looked terrible in the first half along with the rest of the offense. Blount isn't running with any aggression out there, but Masoli seems to be waking up as he just ran in for the touchdown. The Oregon defense finally got a break as the offense drove down the field and if they come out strong this could be a game.
