Georgia Tech's Championship Claim, Tennessee's Citrus Shoutout, and Week 1's Best CFB Moments

Recap of Week 1 in college football featuring Georgia Tech's championship jab, Tennessee's 'orange crush,' and other key highlights.

Georgia Tech's National Title Jab

Georgia Tech's Week 1 victory over Colorado wasn't just a win; it was a statement. The Yellow Jackets, who shared the 1990 national championship with Colorado, made it clear they consider themselves the sole champions. After their 28-17 win, Georgia Tech tweeted, "The 1990 National Championship program won tonight 🏆👑 #StingEm🐝," notably omitting any mention of a shared title.

Tennessee's 'Orange Crush'

Tennessee dominated Syracuse in a game that was as much about the score as it was about the banter. The Volunteers, clad in their signature orange, posted a cheeky tweet after their 45-26 victory, referencing the popular cocktail 'orange crush.' The tweet simply read, "orange crush," accompanied by a photo of the team celebrating their win.

USF's Upset Over Boise State

South Florida delivered one of the biggest upsets of the week, defeating No. 25 Boise State 34-7. The Bulls' quarterback, Byrum Brown, was instrumental in the victory, throwing for 210 yards and rushing for 43 more. Post-game, USF took a playful jab at Boise State's mascot, posting a graphic of their mascot, Rocky the Bull, next to a trailer of horses graffiti-tagged "back to Boise."

UConn's Dominance Over Central Connecticut State

UConn turned an early deficit into a commanding 59-13 victory over Central Connecticut State. The Huskies' offense was unstoppable, racking up 638 total yards. After the game, UConn tweeted, "CC See U later! 👋," a clever play on Central Connecticut State's CCSU initials.

Week 1 Highlights

  • Georgia Tech reaffirms its claim to the 1990 national championship.
  • Tennessee celebrates with a citrus-themed tweet after defeating Syracuse.
  • USF shocks Boise State and mocks their mascot post-game.
  • UConn dominates in-state rival Central Connecticut State with a clever farewell tweet.

Week 1 of the college football season was filled with thrilling games, memorable moments, and plenty of good-natured trolling. As teams gear up for Week 2, the stakes are only getting higher.
