A Wild Week

It's finally that time of the year. A time where all the college students get extra crazy and excited. All the hype and predictions are established. That's right its the first week of college football and man was it an eventful one. We've already seen a former Heisman injured, a team in the top 5 upset, and a player get suspended for the season in the span of a week. Wow sounds like an exciting season huh? This week was also "Sportsmanship Week" with new sportsmanship rules introduced. For example all teams have to shake hands before the game with the apposing team. One team has already broke that rule and I'm pretty sure that the first game of the year didn't go over very sportsmanlike. Boise State and Oregon battled it out in the first game of the year, both teams ranked in the top 25 so it figured to be an intense game. I don't think that anyone figured it would end up this intense though. After a lost and horrible game by Oregon's running back he took his anger out on a Boise State players face. The teams were headed to the locker room and the running back was talking to a Boise State player and punched him square in the chin knocking him straight to the ground. The hit resulted in a season suspension for a player that was supposed to be a NFL prospect. Then this was followed up by the number 4 Oklahoma Sooners who were supposed to be in contention for a National Championship were upset by number 20 BYU. Not only was the loss a big blow for the Championship but along with that they lost there quarterback Sam Bradford with a separated shoulder. All in all that was one week imagine what the rest of the season will hold.
