Week One College Football Takeaways: Arch Manning, Alabama’s Struggles & LSU Statement Win

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down all the biggest storylines from a wild opening weekend of college football.

We cover it all — from Arch Manning’s shaky start against Ohio State’s swarming defense, to Florida State looking like a Playoff contender while Alabama takes a big step back, and LSU’s dominant win over Clemson that puts Brian Kelly’s Tigers firmly in the SEC title mix.

We also dive into Miami’s statement victory over Notre Dame, South Carolina emerging as a dangerous SEC spoiler, and TCU blowing the doors off North Carolina. Week One delivered drama, upsets, and some early answers about which programs are for real in 2025.
