STATEMENT wins for Notre Dame, Georgia & Miami + more Week 1 reaction Sep 01, 2024

Show notes

Georgia dominated Clemson showing why they are the #1 team, leaving Clemson fans to wonder - what’s next? Miami and Cam Ward looked comfortable in an impressive victory at Florida while the Gators begin what will be a LONG season. Notre Dame silenced their doubters (and the Texas A&M crowd) in a huge road win. Oregon and Michigan won - but not nearly as impressive as some would have thought. A lot of SEC QB’s - including Arch Manning - looked great in game 1. Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee looked like well oiled machines plus much more. | Always College Football
