College Football Big News

Texas Falls to Ohio State 14-7

In an upset, No. 3 Ohio State squeezed out a 14–7 win over No. 1 Texas. It wasn't just a defensive masterclass as neither QB could produce. Ohio State held Arch Manning and the Longhorns scoreless until the fourth quarter, sealing the win with 2 key stops inside the 10 yard line. Both teams struggled mightily on offence while some may point to the defense, others display the whole day's QB struggles.

Alabama Upset by Florida State, 31-17

In Tallahassee, the underdog and unranked Seminoles dominated No. 8 Alabama 31–17. FSU’s Tommy Castellanos excelled, with coach Mike Norvell’s aggressive game plan dismantled the Tide’s offense. Meanwhile, Alabama never looked strong from the start. They couldn't get key stops on defense or big first downs when needed on offense, leaving second year Coach Kalen DeBoer producing Alabama's First Ever Loss In August.

LSU Upsets Clemson 17-10

No. 9 LSU pulled off a gritty 17–10 win over No. 4 Clemson in the battle for the true Death Valley. The defensive effort from the Bayou Tigers overshadowed offensive inconsistencies for Clemson, marking their first Week 1 victory since 2019. But don't get it wrong, neither team looked strong on offence, it was just that LSU capitalized at the right time to take the game. A true 2025 Week 1 College Football story.
