Big Ten Game Balls for Week 1

Los Angeles, CA

USC receiver Kyron Hudson delivered a catch-of-the-year candidate not even fully through the first full week of the college football season. It happened during the USC-LSU game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. USC quarterback Miller Moss stepped back, scrambled in the pocket, and unleashed a pass downfield that was somehow caught one-handed by Kyron Hudson. He bobbled the ball as he was falling, but, after a video review, the play stood. ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit joked that, because of the degree of difficulty, the officials should have given him the catch regardless.

It wasn’t the prettiest win by any means, but Jonathan Smith started off his tenure as the coach at Michigan State with a 16-10 win against Florida Atlantic in Week 1. The defense picked up the slack for the Spartans, as they held the Owls to 248 yards on 3.4 yards per play. The pass defense was especially good while only allowing 116 yards and pulled down 2 interceptions.

Who had a worse week: me or the Texas A&M quarterback? It’s a fair question. Best Bets went 0-for-3. I liked Minnesota to beat North Carolina at home, but the offense’s best player sat out the game and the team’s kicker missed 2 field goals. I liked Texas A&M to control the line of scrimmage and give the Aggies a first-half lead and then Conner Weigman forgot how to play quarterback. I liked Oregon to roll against an FCS team and then an elite offense forgot how to score points.
