1. Pay attention, everyoneTexas is rebooting within the athletic department leadership, and the football team is rebooting on the field.The perfect scenario to introduce the nations big star no one knows about: Cal quarterback Jared Goff.MORE: | Theres not a doubt in my mind, hell be the first pick (in the NFL Draft) next spring, says one AFC scout.Without the turmoil in the Texas athletic department, this game wouldnt be nearly as interesting for the average fan who only knows Cal as the program that hasnt been relevant since a guy named Aaron Rodgers played quarterback.But Andrew Chafin Jersey because of the human nature to watch a trainwreck, more eyes will be on Texas playing host to Cal on Saturday than wouldve been prior to responsibilities after one game, and after a cup of coffee in the biggest administrative role in college sports.Meanwhile, we have Goff, who quietly put up a monster season last year while playing for a team that couldnt stop anyone on defense, and therefore couldnt win enough games to even play in the postseason. This time around, Goff even better, and heres the key so is the Cal defense.So while youre watching Goff throw for more than 300 yards, and see his accurate strong arm, and watch how fluid and easy it all looks for him, remember where this ride will end in May of 2016.Jareds future is incredibly bright, both for us and profe sionally, said Arizona Diamondbacks Jersey Cal coach Sonny Dykes. Hes one of those unique players where hes extremely talented and works extremely hard, and because of that, the game just looks so easy for him.2. New QB, new timeThis cant be overstated enough: Ole Mi s beat Alabama last year with Bo Wallace playing quarterback.Dont think it cant happen again. Dont think Ole Mi s, with , cant beat Alabama in consecutive seasons for the first time ever.MORE: | Numbers: | We have a confident football team right now that believes it can win, says Ole Mi s coach Hugh Freeze.Why wouldnt they? Let me say this again: Ole Mi s beat Alabama with Bo Wallace playing quarterback. The same Wallace who was wildly inconsistent in his career, and isnt near the talent that Kelly has shown in two games this season.The player who began his career at Clemson before being kicked off the team for confrontations with multiple coaches; who found a home at East Mi si sippi College and was the Junior College player of the year in 2014, is the reason Ole Mi s has scored 149 points in two games this fall.And the reason the Rebels can win Saturday in Tuscaloosa. If Kelly, who has eight TDs in limited time in two blowouts, doesnt crumble under the pre sure of the moment and commit costly turnovers (hello, Bo), Ole Mi s can again exit September as the favorite to win the SEC West Division.Ole Mi s can do more in the quarterback run game with Kelly than it did in previous years with Wallace. Hes not only a more dynamic runner, hes a more powerful runner. Considering the Rebels still dont have a push-the-pile tailback, Kellys dual threat is even more critical.3. The right matchup means everythingWeve seen this for years and should have seen it the last two weeks: the zone read and mobile quarterbacks give Nick Saban defenses fits.What does this have to do with Auburn, you ask? Will Muschamp, Auburns new defensive coordinator, runs a nearly identical defense that both he and Saban perfected while Muschamp worked under Saban at LSU and with the NFLs Dolphins.NUMBERS: | HAYES: What does this have to do with Auburns game at LSU on Saturday? Its why Auburn despite two shaky games on defense to begin the Starling Marte Jersey season can win at LSU and right its season.LSU doesnt use zone read principles on offense; doesnt run misdirection or try to create confusion in the run game. Its straight isolation, power and zone blocking runs.In other words, Auburn can line up, trade blows at the point of attack and its back seven can pursue without the threat of option football. Louisville made things interesting in the season opener against Auburn when Lamar Deven Marrero Jersey Jackson played quarterback and ran the zone read.Jacksonville State ran zone read all game with quarterback Eli Jenkins, and kept the Auburn defense from pursuing because of the option threat. Thats not happening with LSU.This idea of Auburn matching up better with LSU is contingent, of course, on Auburn quarterback Jeremy Johnson not giving up short fields with turnovers, something he hasnt proven he can do.4. The D in NDWeve made way too much of Notre Dame losing starting quarterback .That underscores to significant factors going into Saturdays game against ACC favorite Georgia Tech: Irish coach (DeShone Kizer looked solid as Zaires replacement last week), and Notre Dame hasnt played well defensively against triple option teams.MORE: In other words, the quarterback isnt the i sue against the Yellow Jackets; the defense is. When you have given up an average of 288 rushing yards per game over the last three seasons in four games against triple option teams Navy and Air Force, stopping Georgia Tech which runs the triple option better than anyone becomes a huge question.While Notre Dame won all four of those games against Navy and Air Force, those two teams arent nearly as dynamic as Georgia Tech at the skill positions. As important: neither of those two can play defense.Georgia Tech can, and has proven since midway through last season that it finally has a defense that can complement its ball-control offense.5. Blank Jersey Dangerous GamecocksSouth Carolina has won three of its last four games against Georgia, and the Gamecocks are annually geeked to play Georgia because, well, because Steve Spurrier hates Georgia.But theres a little problem for South Carolina, one that could lead to an ugly lo s and a potentially ugly season: who plays quarterback?The Gamecocks werent solid at the position when Connor Mitch was healthy. , Spurriers choices are a former walk-on (Perry Orth) or a true freshman (Lorenzo Nunez).But know this: Spurrier is no more dangerous than when theres uncertainty at quarterback, and when Georgia is on the other sideline. As ugly as it has been in two games, the Gamecocks are just as likely to play their best game against a team Spurrier loves to beat.
