College football Week 2 scores, schedule and must-see moments

It’s just Week 2 of the college football season and we’ve already got ACC conference games on the schedule. Even crazier? Hated ACC rivals Duke and Notre Dame are going at it Saturday.

Yeah, we don’t have to tell you this is an unusual season. But witness the glory of D’Eriq King taking flight in Miami on Thursday night and get a little rush of adrenaline.

There’s more where that came from this weekend. Not to mention the good stuff we have here, from frog legs to million-dollar, 20-foot-tall chicken statues.

Yeah, still weird.

A little Texas toast

The SMU-TCU Iron Skillet rivalry game scheduled for Friday has been postponed indefinitely, but SMU managed a good burn on the Horned Frogs with a little frog leg fry.


At long last, the wait is over

Finally, South Carolina’s $995,000 golden gamecock statue is being assembled in front of Williams-Brice Stadium. According to The State, it was originally planned for the 2017 season and was fully funded by donors. It’ll take two weeks to assemble, but when it’s done, it’ll be 20 feet tall and will weigh about 19,000 pounds.


Well, that’s something

The Bobby Petrino era begins at Missouri State on Saturday with a road trip to Norman, Oklahoma, and a game against the Sooners. That’s no easy debut. Just remember, if times get tough, you’ll always have this video of Petrino throwing a football with a bear.


They liked it, so they put a ring on it

Maybe you’ve heard of the Turnover Chain, which spawned a lot of shiny imitators. Now, witness the birth of the Touchdown Ring.


We all need a Little Corso

Andrew Williams of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a College GameDay superfan, and according to his dad, he asked for a set for his ninth birthday.

App State from deep

The Mountaineers took the uniform reveal to new depths.


They’re really teeing off on each other

Is there anything dads love more than golf smack? Even SEC football coaches can’t help themselves.
