Surprising Starts Abound Across College Football

There are some early stirrings of success in unusual locales, and some comebacks from forgotten people and places. A Dash breakdown of what’s going well that we might not have seen coming:has eight undefeated teams and a 19–4 nonconference record. Last year, just five ACC teams made it to 2–0. For a league known for many years as Clemson or Bust, it’s good to have some more schools making headlines.

On Saturday the ACC took the show on the road and held up well, going 5–1 in nonleague play. That included upset victories by Duke and Louisville, plus the return of Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman earlier than some had expected to lead the Demon Deacons past Vanderbilt. North Carolina won consecutive road games and is averaging 51.3 points despite leading receiver Josh Downs missing the past two contests .

Washington, meanwhile, is getting very good play from its transfer QB. Indiana import Michael Penix Jr. is back, after a rough 2021 season. The competition hasn’t been stellar , but Penix has an efficiency rating of 183.47 so far, good for 12th nationally. The Huskies struggled to score points against any semblance of defense last year, which is why Kalen DeBoer is now the coach. Putting 97 of them on the board the first two games brought some welcome enthusiasm to Seattle.
