College Football Overreactions from Week Zero
WHY IT MATTERS
The overreactions from week zero may be premature, as teams still have a long season ahead of them. Fans should be cautious not to jump to conclusions based on one game, and instead wait to see how their teams perform over the coming weeks.
What happened
The college football season has kicked off with a bang, but fans are already overreacting to their team's performances. Florida State's lackluster win over New Mexico State has fans calling for head coach Mike Norvell's firing, while UNLV's loss to Memphis has sparked demands for defensive coordinator Paul Guenther's dismissal.
Meanwhile, USC's attendance problem during their opening game against San Jose State has raised concerns about head coach Lincoln Riley's ability to attract fans.
However, experts suggest that the empty seats may be due to Los Angeles' fair-weather sports town reputation, rather than a lack of enthusiasm for the team.
