Saturday will mark the one-month anniversary of this college football season. Yes, time flies. It’s been as eventful and unpredictable as expected, from the quick plummet by many top-ranked teams — more on that below — through, on Sunday, LSU’s decision to fire longtime coach Les Miles.
Miles’ dismissal is the dominant story line of the season’s opening month, followed closely by Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson’s assault on the record books. Through four games, Jackson has accounted for as many as or more touchdowns than all but one team in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
