Well football fans, the first weekend of college football is in the books. Most of the games saw the power teams empty benches against cupcakes but there were some significant matches as 13. Southern Cal at Stanford – Bryce Love, favorite for the 17. Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles – Super Bowl well. 2018 Heisman, runs for 29 yards on 18 carries against San Diego matchup of two years. Slight edge to the home team.

Stanford 35 – USC 27 get Jenny.“ That is spot on. Just ask Texas (lost to Maryland), UCLA (upset by Cincin- nati), and Kansas (lost to Nicholls State) or even Penn State (OT 18. Houston Oilers at New England Patriots – Brady has to beat Appalachian State). There is a reason coaches always say 14.

New Eng- the week from the first game to the second is when you see the Can they rebound against the Falcons? FAU 36 – Air Force 20 land Patriots 34 – Houston Oilers 31 most improvement. Adjustments will be made after the film study. Corrections made for the next week. How did the SEC fair in the first week? Pretty well overall one would have to say — 13 wins out of 14 games. Sure, 10 of 15. Clemson at Texas A&M – Tigers get a new shot at 19. Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins – Titans withstand those wins came over lesser teams — as expected — but Ole Jimbo and the SEC in one game. Look for them to make the most the heat and the Fish. Miami will be improved in the long run. Miss was impressive beating the Big 12’s Texas Tech as was the of it. Clemson 38 – Texas A&M 17 Tennessee Titans 33 – Miami Dolphins 27 Crimson Tide dismantling Louisville of the ACC. LSU rolling over Miami was impressive. Only Tennessee lost this week as they were obliterated by West Virginia 40-14. You have to love FAU. Their Alumni Association sent out 16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints – Can 20. Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Giants – Jags defense an email to their base congratulating the Owls on their win over the Bucs continue their pre-season success without Winston? is rated the best and they will rely on it. The ground game scores 7th ranked Oklahoma. Lane Kiffin is doing an amazing job. Only Saints are without Mark Ingram also. New Orleans Saints 27 – just enough to win. Jacksonville Jaguars 24 – New York Giants in Boca is a 63-14 loss seen as a victory. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23 20 Gator fans are optimistic after quarterback Franks had five touchdown passes. Comments on social media express emotions of the Swamp being finally fun again. Florida should be 4-0 going into Starkville for their first real test. Heisman Trophy Watch has Will Grier in the spotlight. The West Virginia quarterback started slow in the first half but fin- ished with a spectacular second half. Grier was 25-of-34 for 429 yards and five touchdown passes. He spread it around to 11 dif- ferent receivers. Biletnikoff Candidate David Sills had seven catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Moun- taineers. Other Tid Bits from Week One Jim Harbaugh at Michigan is 9-9 in his last 18 games. Keep an eye on Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver. Possible number one pick in the draft this year. He had 13 tackles in his first game – five of them solo tackles. UCF looks like the team to beat in the American Confer- ence again. The Big 12 could come down to the last weekend between Oklahoma and West Virginia in Morgantown. The ACC is probably a lock for Clemson to make it back to the playoffs. Alabama is still on top until someone knocks them off. LSU, Auburn and probably Georgia could topple the cart in the SEC down the road.

Now, let’s look at this week’s Bill O’ Fare:

1. Eastern Kentucky at Marshall – Herd returns home where they have best winning record in a current stadium in foot- ball. Herd offense should put up big numbers while the defense needs to step up before facing South Carolina and North Car- olina State in successive weeks. Marshall 48 – Eastern Kentucky 23

2. Youngstown State at West Virginia – Penguins bring a solid 1-AA team to Morgantown to face the Mountaineers. Will Grier should have a field day though. He will probably be on the bench after halftime too. West Virginia 59 – Youngstown State 7

3. Georgia at South Carolina – Great game in the SEC. If the Gamecocks want to make a serious run at the SEC and be- yond, they need an upset. Don’t count on one this year. Georgia 41 – South Carolina 21

4. Savannah State at Miami – ‘Canes get a chance to pad their statistics in this one. Everybody schedules these. Miami 68 – Savannah State 10

5. South Carolina State at UCF – Knights also have a chance to pad stats and look at some players for down the road. UCF 66 – South Carolina State 13

6. Samford at FSU – ‘Noles join the blowout fun with the others. This is Bobby Bowden’s Alma Mater. FSU 51 – Samford 13

7. Kentucky at Florida – With Franks set at quarterback, the Gators look to show the SEC they are back. Look for a point explosion. Florida 51 – Kentucky 20

8. Georgia Tech at USF – Bulls have a golden opportunity to take down an ACC team. Yellow Jackets are a 4 point favorite. USF 27 – Georgia Tech 24

9. UCLA at Oklahoma – Bruins could not beat Cincinnati. Now, they have to go to Norman. Sooners roll at home. Okla- homa 44 – UCLA 17

10. Ole Miss at Kansas State – Wildcats opened with a win but did not impress. Ole Miss gets win number two over a Big 12 school. Ole Miss 47 — Kansas State 20

11. Iowa State at Iowa – Cyclones should be improved and ready to make a move in the Big 12. Problem is the Cyclones got cancelled due to lightning last week while Iowa beat North- ern Illinois 33-7. That lost opener will hurt. Iowa 34 – Iowa State 27

12. Penn State at Pitt – Nittany Lions had to go to OT to beat Appalachian State? Oh well, I remember once when Appy beat Michigan in the Big House. Are the Panthers a threat to their in-state rival? Doubtful. Penn State 38 – Pitt 17 9:6c THE B Herald-Advocate Thursday, September 6, 2018

THANK YOU HARDEE COUNTY Folks, the voters have spoken, and I am no longer a candidate for Hardee County Judge. Many thanks to my friends, old and new, who supported me, as well as every voter who participated in the election, re- gardless of how they cast their ballots.

I also want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly endorse Ken Evers, and to urge my friends to support him in the gen- eral election. Ken has a lengthy and di- verse body of experience, and is already familiar with the majority of the functions of the county court. He has campaigned with honor and dignity, and I am convinced he is the best choice to assure the ongoing competence, decency and professional- ism of the Hardee County bench. See, 85, remains active with sports by still umpiring lit- tle league baseball games. Thanks again,
