Week 2 is in the books, and the tardy takeaways are not concerned with a lackluster Week 3 schedule. A surprisingly exciting week of college football delivered multiple juicy storylines beyond just the final scores. Digging into the week’s notable results, we here at SI are determined to find the answer to the question: Which team does the final score say more about?
Texas 34, Alabama 24 says more about: Texas
The Longhorns were just better on the day than Alabama in a way that may seem shocking, but isn’t really if you consider Bama a dynasty in some semblance of decline. The Horns just took another brick out of the foundation, and the extent to which the entire thing may crumble is anyone’s guess. But this was Texas finishing what it started in last year’s meeting when it had a large amount of offensive success before Qunn Ewers went down with an injury and the game turned thanks to Bryce Young’s heroics. Ewers played the whole game this time, and Texas won thanks to the way he executed a gameplan that evolved as the night went on.
