USA TODAY: Winners and losers from college football's opening Thursday night
Quote:The opening weeknight of the college football season saw the defending national champions kickoff off its quest for a repeat with an easy conference win.

That would be Central Florida, which added another notch to its winning streak with a 56-17 victory against Connecticut. Through one game, the Knights are still rolling behind new coach Josh Heupel.

Central Florida. The Knights showed no hangover from last year’s undefeated season and the offseason change from Scott Frost to Heupel in a convincing win against the Huskies. Yeah, UConn is going to occupy one of the lower rungs in the American Athletic Conference. UCF still looked the part. So did its quarterback: McKenzie Milton kicked off his Heisman Trophy push with 346 yards and five touchdowns.

Wake Forest. A non-conference win against a Group of Five opponent is not always cause for celebration, especially when it takes overtime. But Wake Forest’s 23-17 win came on the road against a solid Tulane team that should end up in bowl play. The victory also came with a true freshman quarterback in the starting lineup. Dave Clawson and the Demon Deacons will take it.

How does SJSU not make the Loser list after losing to an FCS team that was 8th in the Big Sky last year? Are they so bad that it was expected and didn't lower the image of SJSU?
