Cal gets first FBS win since 2012 on the road against Northwestern

Cal has matched last season's win total. And even if the Golden Bears lose every game the rest of the season and have consecutive 1-11 seasons, 2014 is already better than 2013 because of that lone win.

The Golden Bears' 31-24 win over Northwestern Saturday was the first time Cal beat an FBS-level team since topping Washington State on Oct. 13, 2012. Yes, almost two years, and coincidentally, the same day that Georgia State last won a game before winning on Wednesday night against Abilene Christian.

Last season, Cal's only win came against FCS Portland State. And it was by seven. Of its 11 losses, one was against Northwestern, who beat Cal 44-30.

It wasn't even close to that on Saturday. Cal stormed out to an early lead thanks to two touchdown passes by sophomore Jared Goff. Goff, who was Cal's primary QB last season as a freshman, completed 21-34 and finished with 281 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

Northwestern, meanwhile, looked much more like the team that finished 2013 on a seven-game losing streak before beating Illinois in the season finale than the team that started last year 4-0.

QB Trevor Siemien, now without the shadow of Kain Colter, both on the field at quarterback and off the field with a union movement, was inefficient, only completing 23 of his 43 passes. The loss of Venric Mark, the potential sixth-year senior star at running back, was evident. Justin Jackson had eight carries for 40 yards and Treyvon Green had 13 carries for 37 yards.

The highlight of Northwestern's day was a trick play for a TD. But it only cut the deficit to 31-21. After a fourth quarter field goal to make Cal's lead seven, Northwestern's potential game-winning drive went flat.

The victory could also be the start of a two-game winning streak for Cal. Next week, the Golden Bears play Sacramento State, another FCS school. A 2-0 Cal is incredibly possible.

However, we won't get ahead of ourselves. Cal has five ranked teams on its schedule, plus games at Arizona, Washington State and at home against BYU. Bowl aspirations seem unlikely. But this is a good start for coach Sonny Dykes' second season and a sign that a turnaround is possible.

Northwestern runs a throw-back pass for a touchdown (GIF)

Northwestern’s offense hasn’t exactly been lighting it up against Cal on Saturday, but it did have this gem of a trick play to get itself back in the game.

Northwestern runs a trick play to cut the score against Cal.

After an interception by senior linebacker Colin Ellis put the Wildcats on the 17-yard line, quarterback Trevor Simien threw a screen pass to Jayme Taylor who threw it back to Simien. Simien, not known for his running ability or athleticism, somehow made a defensive back bite on his one and only move and then stretched out for the touchdown.

There’s no doubt that DB will be hearing about that play all season.

The entertaining and painfully slow-developing play cut Cal’s lead to 31-21 late in the third quarter.

Nebraska WR Jordan Westerkamp makes insane behind-the-back catch (Video)

It didn’t take long for Tavaun Smith’s awesome catch from earlier Saturday afternoon to get one-upped.

Nebraska wideout Jordan Westerkamp, known for catching the game-winning Hail Mary pass in the Huskers’ win over Northwestern last season, somehow managed to haul in a Tommy Armstrong BEHIND HIS BACK during the third quarter against Florida Atlantic.

That’s right – behind his back. You have to see it to believe it.

I’ve really never seen anything like it. FAU defensive back Christian Milstead actually made a great play to dive and tip Armstrong’s pass, but Westerkamp somehow had the concentration to corral the ball behind his back while getting both feet in bounds.

The catch was part of a great day for Westerkamp. The redshirt sophomore has caught seven passes for 125 yards and a touchdown while the Huskers maintain a big lead in the fourth quarter.

The best catch of the 2014 college football season may have come in week one because Westerkamp’s play is going to be hard to beat.

UCLA's defense shines while it's offense has work to do

UCLA’s much-hyped 2014 debut didn’t go the way it hoped, but at least it got out of Virginia with a 28-20 win against the Cavaliers.

The Bruins, a team many thought could challenge for the College Football Playoff, looked out of sorts on offense as Heisman hopeful quarterback Brett Hundley was harassed by the vaunted Virginia defense most of the game.

Hundley completed 20-of-33 passes for 242 yards and had the Bruins’ only offensive touchdown on a 6-yard run.

The day actually belonged to the UCLA defense, which had three first-half touchdowns on turnovers. That kept UCLA in the game early, otherwise Virginia probably should have won the game.

So, the defense answered whether it would be a strength for the Bruins this season, but the offense has a lot of work to do. Virginia’s defense was its strength coming into the season and it showed on Saturday. But what UCLA faced isn’t an anomaly. It’s going to see similar and better defenses in conference play, so it needs to figure what went wrong and correct it in a hurry.

It will get a chance to have an offensive feel-good game against Memphis next week before it has to face Texas. Only then will we know what this offense really learned from its season opener.

Ohio State knocks off Navy 34-17 in first game without Braxton Miller

Ohio State’s first game without Braxton Miller wasn’t easy, but things came together in the second half in a hard-fought 34-17 win over Navy in Baltimore.

Redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett made his first start at quarterback. Despite early struggles, he lived up to his dual-threat billing with 226 passing yards and two touchdowns and 50 rushing yards. Barrett threw just 15 passes, completing 12, as head coach Urban Meyer relied heavily on a bevy of talented running backs, three of whom rushed for more than 40 yards.

With a new quarterback and four new starters on the offensive line, the Buckeyes’ offense looked a bit out of sorts from the jump, but a bruising running game wore the Midshipmen down as the game went on.

The first half trudged to a close after a DeBrandon Sanders one-yard TD run for Navy and two Sean Nuernberger field goals for OSU. The second half was a different story.

Less than two minutes into the third quarter, Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee returned a Keenan Reynolds fumble 61 yards to give the Buckeyes their first lead and first touchdown of 2014. Navy was able to quickly respond, however, when a 67-yard run from Ryan Williams-Jenkins set up a 1-yard TD run from Reynolds on the next drive to retake a 14-13 lead.

Later in the third quarter, Barrett found Devin Street behind the Navy secondary for an 80-yard touchdown pass to give OSU a lead it would not relinquish for the rest of the game. Though it did allow a field goal, OSU’s defense stiffened while the running game grinded out the clock and sealed the victory.

So what did we learn about the fifth-ranked Buckeyes? For one, the offense won’t look a whole lot different under Barrett compared to Miller, it’ll just be a simplified version. Save for his interception inside the red zone, Barrett made most of the right decisions in his first game action.

Also, the Buckeyes have a slew of talented running backs who can shoulder the load. Though Barrett led the team in rushing, Curtis Samuel (7 rushes, 45 yards), Ezekiel Elliott (12 rushes, 44 yards, 1 TD) and Dontre Wilson (6 rushes, 43 yards) all showed flashes. The inexperienced offensive line wasn’t always opening up the biggest holes for the trio, but Meyer has options to work with in efforts to replace the effort of Carlos Hyde. The offensive effort as a whole was something to build on.

The defense looked solid in dealing with Navy’s option offense and another test awaits OSU next weekend when Virginia Tech travels to Columbus.

Iowa's Tevaun Smith made a fantastic one-handed TD grab (Video)

Iowa wideout Tevaun Smith gave us an early candidate for top catch of the week early in the second half against Northern Iowa.

Leading 17-13, the Hawkeyes were looking to increase their lead on a third-and-goal from the 6-yard line. Quarterback Jake Rudock looked Smith’s way and the junior delivered, hauling Rudock’s pass with one hand in the back right corner of the end zone to increase the team’s lead to 24-13.

Rudock’s pass was on the money, allowing Smith to make a play despite tight coverage from the Panthers’ Makinton Dorleant.

After registering 24 catches for 310 yards as a sophomore in 2013, Smith was expected to see an increased role this season. Iowa head coach has to like what he’s seen from Smith thus far.

Smith's team, however, is in a battle. Early in the fourth quarter, the Hawkeyes have just a one-point lead over their in-state FCS opponent. Maybe Smith can come to the rescue.

UCLA scores three defensive touchdowns in first half against Virginia

Prior to the season, a lot was made about UCLA’s offense and quarterback Brett Hundley as a possible Heisman Trophy contender.

Through the first half of Saturday’s season opener against Virginia, it’s the UCLA defense that’s points on the board for the Bruins.

All of UCLA first-half touchdowns have come off Virginia turnovers — all in the second quarter — and they have the Bruins ahead 21-10 at halftime.

Defensive back Ishmael Adams got the scoring going with an interception returned for 20 yards.

With 2:55 remaining in the half, defensive back Randall Goforth had a 75-yard fumble recovery for a score.

Linebacker Eric Kendricks capped the first-half scoring with a 37-yard interception return with 1:20 remaining the half.

If not for the defense, UCLA would be losing this game because the offense has done very little against a surprisingly stout Virginia defense. Hundley completed 9-of-13 passes for 113 yards in the first half and the running game managed just 23 yards.

If UCLA hopes to win this game, the offense will have to show up in the second half because there’s little chance the defense will be able to repeat its stellar first-half performance.

Ohio State TE Jeff Heuerman wears No. 5 in honor of Braxton Miller (GIF)

Ohio State TE Jeff Heuerman ditched his No. 86 jersey for a different one against Navy.

With QB Braxton Miller out for the season with a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, Heuerman wore No. 5 on Saturday.

He posted a picture of the jersey to his Twitter account on Saturday morning.

Last year, LB Ryan Shazier switched to No. 2 from No. 10 in October to honor Christian Bryant after Bryant broke his ankle. Shazier wore No. 2 for the rest of the season. No word if Heuerman will go back to his No. 86 after Saturday or keep wearing Miller's No. 5 for all of 2014.

In 2013, Heuerman had 26 catches for 466 yards and four touchdowns.

Unfortunately, Heuerman didn't put a bandage on the shoulder of his jersey to mimic the Braxton Miller mannequin at the Ohio State bookstore. After news that Miller was out for the season spread, someone put a bandage on the right shoulder (Miller's throwing shoulder) of the mannequin.

Ficken, Hackenberg lead Penn State to last-second win over UCF in Ireland (GIFs)

Penn State dominated the first half of the inaugural Croke Park Classic, but it let UCF hang around. It almost doomed the Nittany Lions, but senior kicker Sam Ficken came through in the clutch when it mattered most.

Ficken drilled a game-winning 36-yard field goal as time expired to give Penn State a dramatic 26-24 win over the Knights in Dublin, Ireland. It was Ficken’s fourth field goal of the day and it ensured that James Franklin’s first game as Penn State head coach was victorious.

Ficken’s kick capped off a drive that started with just 1:13 to go after UCF took a 24-23 lead on a 6-yard touchdown run by Knights quarterback Justin Holman, who came on in relief of struggling starter Pete DiNovo. The Penn State offense, led by sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg, was able to move its way up the field on a seven-play drive to set up Ficken’s heroics.

Hackenberg became the first Penn State quarterback to throw for over 400 yards in a game, racking up 457 yards and a touchdown on 32-of-47 passing attempts. Most of those passes were directed to sophomore Geno Lewis or redshirt freshman DaeSean Hamilton. Hamilton, in his first ever collegiate game, came up huge with 11 catches for 165 yards.

Lewis caught eight passes for 173 yards, including a 79-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Lewis also made an acrobatic catch for a 41-yard gain late in the fourth to give Hackenberg the school’s single-game passing record.

UCF was held to just 35 yards of total offense in the first half, but managed to keep the deficit to just seven points at halftime. After another DiNovo (3/8, 18 yards) drive fell flat to open the second half, head coach George O’Leary then inserted Holman into the ballgame midway through the third quarter and he immediately provided a spark.

Holman’s first drive resulted in a score. His second drive did, too. A few Penn State turnovers followed and when the Knights took over again down six with 3:30 to go, Holman, who finished 9-of-14 for 204 yards, led an eight-play, 75-yard drive in just 2:17 to give UCF a 24-23 lead.

Unfortunately for Holman, the Knights’ defense could not hold the lead.

If it's any consolation for UCF, I think we know who’ll be under center for the Knights next week against Missouri now.
