Final thoughts before kickoff

After eight months of waiting, we’ve got a football Saturday. Breath it in. That’s what makes this time of year great.

And like college football always does, it surprises. It takes eight months of stories and hypotheses and shatters them when the bullets start flying and the team across from you doesn’t share the same jersey and locker room.

What do we know? Well, apparently not as much as we thought.

All that Virtual Reality talk that’s changing the game, with Stanford ahead of the curve thanks to their technology-driven ways? Well Kevin Hogan went 20 of 35 for just 155 yards and a game-ending interception to lose to Northwestern.
