College football kicked off on Saturday. Here are the scores you should know if you get caught at the #WaterCooler.

🏈 South Carolina defeated N.C. State 35-28

  • N.C. State was favored by almost 7 points, but UofSC started + finished the game in stand out fashion – returning the first kickoff of the game for a touchdown and keeping N.C. State in the red zone the final minute of the game.
  • They play at Missouri this Saturday, Sept. 9

🏈 Clemson defeated Kent State 56-3

  • New quarterback, Kelly Bryant looked eerily similar to Deshaun Watson – throwing for 313 yards + 2 touchdowns, all before leaving the game in the 3rd quarter.
