I spoke with both Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning and Washington State coach Kirby Moore this week. I have some takeaways on that front. I’m also looking carefully at Week 0 of the season and excited to see football played.
The Saturday Special will be posted throughout the college football season, giving readers some tips, takeaways, and tidbits to add to the experience.
How many teams have a realistic shot at winning the College Football Playoff national title game? Who are the interesting long-shot propositions? Which coaches are under fire as the season begins? What was said this week that caught my ear? What do I expect happens?
Enjoy…
