Seven of the 10 teams got the season off on the right foot with opening weekend wins. BC took care of business against in-state UMass, 30-7, in the only opening weekend matchup between eligible Lambert Meadowlands teams. Penn State squeaked past UCF in Dublin, while Rutgers edged Washington State, 41-38, in Seattle. Pittsburgh handled its opening weekend FCS opponent with ease with a 62-0 drubbing of the Delaware Blue Hens.
Buffalo needed a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to rally past FCS Duquesne, while Syracuse survived Villanova, 27-26 in 2 OT, after Wildcats kicker Chris Gough missed a 25-yarder with 12 seconds in regulation that would have given VU the upset victory. Play. to. win. the. game, 'Nova.
The most impressive opening-weekend win, however, belongs to Temple, which went down to Nashville and upset the Vanderbilt Commodores 37-7. The Owls forced seven (!) turnovers in a lightning-delayed game that ended at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time. Temple earned its first win over an SEC opponent since defeating Florida ... in 1938.
BYU eased past Connecticut, 35-10, on Friday night in Bob Diaco's first game as head coach of the Huskies. Womp womp.
Week 2 Schedule
Pittsburgh at Boston College
Buffalo at Army
Akron at Penn State
Howard at Rutgers
Navy at Temple
Stony Brook at Connecticut
Colorado at Massachusetts
Two games between Lambert Meadowlands Trophy eligible programs in week 2. Army kicks off the 2014 season with a home game against in-state Buffalo, while Pitt travels to Chestnut Hill to take on Boston College on Friday night. Penn State, Rutgers and Connecticut all play body bags in week 2, while Temple looks to move to 2-0 with a tough home game against Navy.
Massachusetts hosts Colorado in the CO-MA college football championship third place game.
Hopefully BC wins tomorrow & makes the CSU game the CO-MA college football championship, with CU-UMass being for 3rd place next week
