With a wild Week One of college football finally over, it’s time to look at which prospects were studs and which were duds.
Week One of the 2019-20 College Football season is finally in the books and oh boy, what a great weekend it was. From Tennessee already hitting rock bottom to Hugh Freeze coaching from a hospital bed, or the thrilling Auburn vs Oregon game, it was a week to remember. Most important this week, however, was the fact that we finally got to see the summer’s most highly-touted players in live-action.
Whether it was the highly-regarded quarterbacks throwing for big numbers or the defensive players dominating games, NFL prospects from schools across the country were on full display. For some, Week One went as well as possible, while for others, the games ended disappointingly, but at the end of the day, that’s just how college football goes.
In the grand scheme of things, one game means relatively little for any legitimate NFL prospects. Teams are generally going to look at a player’s entire body of work before making any final decisions on these players, not just the opening week of the season. With that said, the first games can have plenty of value as well, as we can see if prospects live up to the offseason hype, or if the players were more impressive on paper than on the field.
Again, it’s too soon to make any final decisions on these players, but through one week of college football, these are the studs and duds.
