Carla and Crappy Show: The Overreaction Edition

It’s Week 2 of the college football season, which can mean only one thing — it’s time to overreact.

So, that’s how we start our conversation this week. What fan bases have a legitimate reason to feel concerned? Which ones should count to five, take a deep breath … have another sip of their tasty beverages and hang on for another week? It’s our first edition of Overreaction Monday … even though we recorded on a Tuesday … and you’re probably reading this on a Friday. But, that’s how we roll.

And then … we move to a more pertinent discussion about this weekend’s slate of games.

Clemson at Texas A&M (6 ET, ESPN): Clemson’s still a favorite to return to the College Football Playoff. The new head coach of the Aggies happens to be fairly familiar with the boys of orange and purple. Clemson’s having a debate over a quarterback … but will that matter in this game?

USC at Stanford (7:30 ET, Fox): San Diego State went all in on stopping Stanford’s Bryce Love last week and it worked … except for the fact that K.J. Costello threw for three TDs to lead the Tree to a win. USC has a frosh QB under center for the first time since Matt Barkley and questions on defense. Will the Trojans be able to stop the Stanford offensive attack? Or will the Carla and Crappy Show Stanford Postulate live on for another year?

Penn State at Pitt (7 ET, ABC): One of those aforementioned fan bases that’s breathing a sigh of relief this weekend is Penn State’s; after a nail-biter last week against Goliath-slayers App State, the Lions now make the trek across the PA Turnpike to their cross-state rival to face a Pitt team that’s looking for a marquee win to start its season.

Enjoy the football ... and the overreaction ... this weekend.
