Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to a great Week 1 of the college football season. He explains what impressed him so much about Ohio State in their win over #1 Texas and how concerned he is about Arch Manning following the loss. Klatt details why LSU’s win at Clemson proved they should be the favorites in the SEC. He discusses Miami’s best win of the Cristobal era as Carson Beck showed he’s still an elite QB in the sport in the win over Notre Dame. Klatt then breaks down what he saw in the most stunning game of the weekend as Florida State beat Alabama by 2 touchdowns and why Tide fans should be very concerned about what they saw.

Doing it against that Ohio State team and in that environment, almost impossible. Relax.

He's going to be just fine. It's going to be hard not putting them at number one in the country.

After that, Carson Beck looked like the guy we saw a couple of years ago. But what happened to Alabama?
