Emerging Talents Shaping College Football Contenders

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt looks at the biggest performances by some high-profile Freshmen in Week 1 and how their performances can change the trajectory of their programs. He discusses Dylan Raiola’s debut for Nebraska, WR Jeremiah Smith emerging in Ohio State’s offense already, how Nico Iamaleava can turn Tennessee into a contender in the SEC and why WR Ryan Williams could be the piece that’s been missing from Alabama the past two seasons.

He then considers whether Oregon’s narrow win over an FCS team is just a Week 1 hiccup or cause for concern before revealing why Florida State’s fall-off shouldn’t come as a complete surprise.

Klatt then welcomes FOX Big Noon Kickoff Analyst Brady Quinn to discuss Notre Dame’s big win and how Marcus Freeman has been building the Irish for this moment in his 3rd year in the program. The two also break down the Michigan QB situation and preview the Wolverines’ huge matchup with #3 Texas on Saturday.
