College Football Weekend One: Cal, Stanford, Notre Dame, Penn State

Today marks the first day of the 2010 College Football Season. Locally here, in what must be called the "stomper" games, at 1 PM, the Cal Golden Bears take on The UC Davis Aggies at Cal Memorial Stadium, and Stanford Cardinal meets the Sacramento State Hornets at Stanford Stadium.

Dangerous matchup, because if either UC Davis or Sacramento State wins, or does well, it's going to be embarrassing for Cal or Stanford.

Penn State Beats Youngstown State

Meanwhile, in their own stomper game, Penn State beat Youngstown State 44 to 14. The game marked the first start for Penn State Freshman Quarterback Robert Bolden. State College News reports that Bolden did well:

He looked comfortable in the pocket and connected with his targets quickly and accurately. He threw 29 passes for 20 completions, 240 yards, two TDs and and an interception before Kevin Newsome replaced him in the fourth quarter.

Notre Dame v. Purdue

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on The Purdue Boilermakers at 3:30 PM ET. The game marks the first one for new Head Coach Brian Kelly and his innovative hybrid-spread offense.
