Time to shake out the cobwebs, mix some aspirin in with your coffee, and reflect on the first party of the 2011 college football season.

After Party Thoughts:

Boise State 35, Georgia 21
Boise State has officially evolved from a program that rebuilds to a program that reloads. Kellen Moore completed 28-of-34 passes for 261 yards and three TDs in the Bronco's win, hittin seven different Broncos with two or more passes. More importantly Boise has now started off three of the past four seasons with a win over on of the "big boys" of college football, Oregon, Virginia Tech, and now Georgia. Of course as preusual, they will now spend the next couple of months taking on JV teams, which we will later use to argue against their legitness.

As for the Dawgs, they may be closer than ever to solidifying themselves as just the "kind of cute" friend, who thinks they are a top level hottie in the clique of hot girls which make up the SEC.

Oh, and by the way Georgia, give the rock to Brandon Boykin more. One touch, one 80-yard TD. He isn't George Constanza, don't let him end on that.

LSU 40, Oregon 27
You know how some bands have a sign with the name of the town they are playing in near the stage entrance, just in case they are too blitzed to know their location? Les Miles might want to consider a similar action near the exit of the tunnel to the field just to remind him which sideline is his. Of course once he did find his sideline, the Tigers got to rolling.

It's now obvious the whole Jarrett Lee replacing "Shoeless" Jordan Jefferson saga was overly hyped. The fifth-year senior is talented enough to make the plays he knows he needs to, while also being experience enough to understand exactly where that talent ends. That's a record-breaking level of consistency compared to Jefferson.

As for the Ducks? Well once someone figures out the blueprint to stop you, those plans make their rounds in a pretty quick fashion. Just ask the Death Star. Once again the offense struggled against a top tier team who had time to prepare for them. LaMichael James only gained 54 yards on the ground, while the team as a whole only managed 95.

South Carolina 56, East Carolina 37
Did Steve Spurrier just want to make sure Stephen Garcia was sober before putting him in the game? Or was this just his way of showing the football world his reasoning for giving the kid yet another shot. "Here is A: without Garcia, and B: with Garcia. Which is better?"

Regardless his reasoning, the quarterback entered the game in the second quarter, ran for two scores and threw for another to lead the Gamecocks back from their early 17-0 deficit. 

South Florida 23, Notre Dame 20
Ah, there you go South Bend. A new flavor of suck. Two fumbles, a penalty that brought back a touchdown, and a Dayne Crist interception highlighted a first half Golden Dome haters were basking in. Think about this for a second. There is a whole generation of kids in high school right now that don't know of Notre Dame as anything but the whipping boy of analysts around the country, and rightfully so.

On a side note, has South Florida ever played a game without B.J. Daniels? How many degrees does he have by now?

Virginia Tech 66, Appalachian State 13
We still can't be 100% sure how good Logan Thomas is. At times he looked at great, at times he looked less than great.  We can however be 100% he has all the weapons around him to ensure his success. Between David Wilson (162 yards and 3TDs yesterday), a host of talented wide receivers, and a defense which should limit his opponents points, Thomas is in a great environment to step up and shine. Now he just has to do it.
