    While games do get postponed, it's not every day that you have two cases like today.

    1) Brazil and Argentina kicked off but were halted a few minutes in by Brazilian health officials who objected to the participation of three Argentine players they say broke quarantine rules.

    2) Guinea and Morocco never kicked off as Guinea had a coup d'etat

    More weird to me, was watching Maryland beating up on WVA, and Penn State having its way with Wisconsin yesterday.

    UCLA over LSU seemed a bit odd as well?

    What surprised me, and I am a little shocked, is the breakdown of fundamentals by LSU....blocking and tackling. It was as if they were relying (again) on a Heisman QB to do the heavy lifting. I know it is early in the season, but....this is LSU.

    I am grateful to see that UCLA didn't cheat once, that I detected. That is a first.

    Seems like LSU hasn't found their groove since winning the title.

    With UCLA, it might only be a matter of time, especially with Chip Kelly at the helm.
