The drama of college football was in full effect Saturday. Week 2 provided upsets, renewed rivalries and more that make the sport great.
Here are five takeaways from the week that was.
Take South Florida seriously
The Bulls followed their drubbing of Boise State with a shocking 18-16 win at No. 13 Florida Saturday. That’s a pair of ranked wins for South Florida with a date at No. 5 Miami looming next week.
The American Conference is wide open, with half the league looking like contenders. At this point, South Florida looks like the favorite and perhaps a dark-horse College Football Playoff contender.
The Bulls have done it with defense. They forced three turnovers against Boise State, holding the Broncos to seven points. Saturday at Florida, they picked off DJ Lagway and held the Gators to 4-of-12 on third down.
