BOTTOM LINE (UPDATED 9/1)
UNC-TCU AND CFB HOLIDAY WEEKEND LEFTOVERS
*BILL BELICHICK NEVER ALLOWED 48 POINTS IN THE NFL: After taking a 7-0 lead, North Carolina allowed the next 40 points that resulted in many of the Chapel Hill fans rushing out of the stadium during the third quarter.
*ARCH MANNING DESERVES A PASS, FOR NOW: He was overhyped after just 2 college starts last season and criticized too often after completing 17 of 30 passes for just 170 yards (just 38 yards in the first 3 quarters) with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
*OHIO STATE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR MATT PATRICIA WAS GREAT IN HIS DEBUT: His constant changing alignments and disguised coverages baffled Manning and the OSU defense with just 3 returning starters from last season’s national championship unit delivered 3 fourth-down stops during the win over Texas.
*HAROLD PERKINS RETURNED FROM MISSING IN ACTION: The LSU defender was a 2022 edge rusher star but inexplicably moved inside the last 2 seasons. He was back on the edge and a difference maker in the 17-10 win at Clemson.
*MIAMI APPEARS TO HAVE A FRESHMAN STAR: Wide receiver Malachi Toney caught 6 passes on 9 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 27-24 win over Notre Dame.
*UCLA WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED: Second-year head coach DeShaun Foster’s team lost 43-10 at home in the Rose Bowl to Utah.
