Florida coach Urban Meyer expected some growing pains. After all, the fourth-ranked Gators entered the post-Tim Tebow era with four new assistant coaches, a new quarterback, a patchwork offensive line, inexperienced receivers and a revamped defense. But Meyer certainly didn't envision what happened Saturday against five-touchdown underdog Miami (Ohio). Tommy Tuberville made good on his promise to keep Texas Tech's passing offense in tact. But he saw difficulties even though Taylor Potts threw for 359 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Red Raiders over SMU 35-27 and give Tuberville a victory Sunday in his first game as coach. "We showed it's going to be some ups and downs this year," Tuberville said. John Blake has resigned his position on North Carolina's football staff, effective immediately, school officials said Sunday night. Blake, who was in his fourth season working with Butch Davis, said in a statement issued by the school that he stepped down because "my presence has become a distraction" to the university. Brian Kelly relaxed after his first victory at Notre Dame as only a coach can. He tuned in to some more football, catching the second half of a game involving the school he led to an unbeaten record last season. After a long day of football and ceremony in which he helped sing the fight song in the locker room following Notre Dame's 23-12 win over Purdue on Saturday, Kelly says he watched the... For the most part, things have gone quite well for Mississippi's football program since coach Houston Nutt arrived on campus in November of 2007. There have been two top-25 finishes. Two Cotton Bowl victories. And two successful seasons to heal the wounds from the three disastrous Ed Orgeron years. With the NCAA lurking around Chapel Hill and some of its best players sitting in the stands, North Carolina found itself in a most improbable position. The 6-yard line with a few seconds on the clock, a touchdown and an extra point away from actually winning the game. T.J. Yates took one shot at the end zone, the ball slipping through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Tennessee starting wide receiver Gerald Jones has a broken bone in his left hand and could miss at least two or three games. That would keep out the Volunteers' leading receiver from the past two seasons for games against No. 11 Oregon, No. 4 Florida and UAB. Jones, who is a senior, led Tennessee (1-0) in a 50-0 win over Tennessee-Martin on Saturday with 86 yards on six catches. There had to be a Fiesta Bowl flashback for the TCU Horned Frogs when Andy Dalton threw an interception on their first drive of the new season. Then another when Oregon State converted a fake punt that set up a touchdown, like Boise State did to the Frogs eight months earlier. But sixth-ranked TCU overcame the miscues, and bad memories, for a 30-21 victory over No. West Virginia is accustomed to scoring in bunches. What stood out after the season opener was an effort unseen from its defense in quite some time. The Mountaineers earned their first home shutout win in 13 years on Saturday, giving up just 186 yards in a 31-0 victory over Coastal Carolina. "Having a shutout is huge for this defense," senior defensive lineman Chris Neild said. In his first start at East Carolina, quarterback Dominique Davis provided one of the greatest finishes in the history of the program. Davis heaved a 33-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Justin Jones as time expired to give the Pirates a wild 51-49 win against Tulsa on Sunday in coach Ruffin McNeill's debut at his alma mater.
