That was awesome — thunderstorm and all.

Yes, Penn State’s win over West Virginia that I called on the “Big Noon Saturday” broadcast was delayed for two and a half hours due to weather, but I still had an amazing time. It was a fantastic experience to travel and return to an environment like the one in Morgantown, and it was an incredible weekend of college football as a whole.

The slate of games on Saturday (and Sunday night) reminded me why I love this sport.

I had so many takeaways from this past weekend that I had to save some for the midweek edition of “The Joel Klatt Show.” But there were still plenty of things I saw that I could not wait to dissect, including three traditional college football superpowers making national statements, and flashing warning signs for my Colorado Buffaloes.

Here are my takeaways from Week 1.

Notre Dame can go undefeated this season

Let’s start with what I thought was not only one of the best environments of the week, but what I would consider the performance of the week — the Fighting Irish going down to College Station and beating a top-20 Texas A&M team, 23-13.

Notre Dame pulled one out in one of the most incredibly hostile environments I’ve seen in a long time. That makes the way Marcus Freeman’s team executed even more impressive. Freeman knew that he needed to solidify his roster this season with another experienced quarterback — a guy with a slow heartbeat in crunch time. In Riley Leonard, he has that quarterback, and now they have an incredible win to show for it.

One of the biggest surprises was how Notre Dame’s young offensive line performed against a really talented A&M defensive line that I would put in the upper tier of the SEC. The Irish ran for 198 yards and 5.8 yards per carry, and the line got better late in the second half when everyone — including that premier Aggies defensive line — knew Notre Dame would try to run the ball.

I said before this game that if Notre Dame beat Texas A&M, the Irish would be undefeated at least until their regular-season finale at USC. I stand by that.

USC’s win helped its playoff hopes in more ways than one

The Trojans’ 27-20 win over LSU in Las Vegas on Sunday will reverberate around college football. Not just because Lincoln Riley’s team fired a massive warning shot to the rest of the Big Ten, but because Riley finally appears to have a respectable defense thanks to his bold hire of new defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn.

I believe the Big Ten is now a five-team league at its top, with USC joining Oregon (struggled against Idaho), Michigan (sloppy against Fresno State), Ohio State (sluggish early against Akron) and Penn State.

Stepping back even further, let’s look at the two super-conferences represented in this game, the Big Ten and SEC. Any time these leagues face off, there will be narratives that emerge. In USC-LSU, we had two teams slotted very similarly in their conference in the preseason, right around that No. 4 or No. 5. At the end of the year, the College Football Playoff committee will get together to determine at-large spots and conference-over-conference head-to-head wins like what USC just pulled off will be a massive factor. (That’s also a major reason why the Texas-Michigan game on “Big Noon Saturday” next week will also be so big.)

This is not just a win for USC over LSU, this is a win for the Big Ten against the SEC.

Miami is above the rest of the ACC because of Cam Ward

Is “The U” back? It sure looks that way. The only reason I don’t rate Miami’s 41-17 dismantling of Florida in “The Swamp” higher is that I don’t think Florida is that good.

But despite my outlook on Florida, I don’t think we’re overreacting too much by heaping praise on Miami here. Mario Cristobal’s team looks like the real deal, in large part because the former offensive line coach has a squad that dominated the trenches on both sides. It’s worth noting that Florida’s roster actually ranks higher on 247Sports’ talent composite. What’s the difference? Coaching is probably a factor, and Billy Napier’s seat just got a lot warmer.

But the real difference is at quarterback.

Cam Ward is absolutely the best quarterback in the ACC, and he’s why I believe in Miami. What became evident in the reaction to Ward’s performance — more than 400 total yards and three passing touchdowns — was how few people actually watched him at Washington State. The reason Miami fans should feel so confident going forward is Ward’s level of play, not necessarily the win at Florida in and of itself (though that is apparently helping recruiting efforts).

The Hurricanes are easily the best team in the ACC.

Georgia isn’t going anywhere

Georgia is still Georgia. Kirby Smart’s team is as ruthless as ever, judging by the Dawgs’ 34-3 drubbing of Clemson in Atlanta. Remember, these two teams faced off three years ago, and it was an evenly-matched, knock-down, drag-out defensive slog that Georgia won 10-3 thanks to a pick-six. Since then, these programs have headed in opposite directions, and that was obvious on Saturday.

Georgia has now won 46 straight games against teams not coached by Nick Saban. Now, with Saban no longer a coach, who is beating Georgia? The Dawgs have an experienced quarterback in Carson Beck, talent everywhere on the roster, an extremely physical style and the best defense in the SEC over the last three years. I know they have a tough schedule and might not go undefeated, but Saturday felt like a serious announcement to the rest of the sport that Georgia is not going anywhere.

There’s more to Clemson’s downfall than the transfer portal

Everybody is talking about Dabo Swinney’s reluctance to use the transfer portal and how he cannot sustain that approach. Swinney even addressed that criticism in his postgame press conference Saturday, defending himself by saying he will keep doing what’s best for Clemson and will not be fazed by the outside criticism. Guess what? He’s right — about the portal. In fact, the Tigers are on the exact same trajectory as many dynastic college football programs before them.

Clemson is coming off a seven-year stretch that is as good as any seven-year stretch in college football history, overshadowed only by the Crimson Tide’s unparalleled 15-year run that was happening at the same time.

Clemson’s decline reminds me a lot of Mack Brown’s Texas team that was at the peak of college football in the mid-late 2000s but started to taper off in the early 2010s. The Longhorns won a title with Vince Young and played for another with Colt McCoy. Texas thought it could keep things rolling with Garrett Gilbert at quarterback, and the Longhorns never recovered.

That’s exactly what’s happening to Clemson, which rose to prominence under Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence, but couldn’t sustain it under D.J. Uiagalelei and Cade Klubnik. Dabo is right — this isn’t about the transfer portal. This is about history repeating itself. Clemson’s roster overall is not where it needs to be to absorb missing on a quarterback.

Is the Clemson dynasty over after 34-3 loss to Georgia?

Penn State may be ready to take the next step

Let’s not gloss over how impressive Penn State’s 34-12 win over West Virginia was. The Mountaineers were unranked but received votes in the AP Top 25. This was a confident bunch at West Virginia playing in front of a raucous environment at home.

As I prepared to broadcast the game on “Big Noon Saturday,” I thought Penn State would have its hands full, especially with all the newness and uncertainty on the Nittany Lions’ offense, especially with new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. What was that going to look like? Could Drew Allar respond to the change and take that next step forward? We got our answer.

Penn State entered this game 20-0 over the last two seasons against everyone not named Michigan and Ohio State, and 0-4 against those Big Ten heavyweights. They had to go out and get better, especially by adding an explosive element to their offense that would require Drew Allar to push the ball downfield. Both those things happened Saturday, and that was a huge development early in the season for the Nittany Lions.

Running back Nick Singleton had a 40-yard touchdown run after having zero runs of 40 yards or more last season. Allar repeatedly threw the ball down the field after ranking 124th among FBS quarterbacks in yards per attempt last season. It wasn’t always perfect, but the Nittany Lions created explosive plays, and that is a great development for a team that feels like it’s just scratching the surface.

As I mentioned on the broadcast, Penn State has a very favorable Big Ten schedule — missing Oregon and Michigan — and has as good a path to 12 wins as anybody except for Ohio State. The Nittany Lions will be favored in every game they play outside their matchup against the Buckeyes. They will be in the Playoff race throughout the season.

Michigan still looks like Michigan, just not the 2023 version

I think a lot of people were surprised that Sherrone Moore started former walk-on Davis Warren at quarterback instead of Alex Orji on Saturday. But while there’s no doubt that Orji is the more gifted athlete, Warren is a more serviceable passer.

I think Orji can still play a major part of Michigan’s offensive game plans, and maybe he can continue to develop as a passer rather than a pure thrower. But as of right now, I can see why Moore went with Warren, who was much more serviceable in terms of throwing the ball from the pocket, reading defenses post-snap and trying to get the ball to his wide receivers on the outside.

People are saying that Michigan’s offense looked terrible, but let’s ask ourselves: “What is this Michigan team?” We know the defense is going to be really good and play complementary football. Will Johnson again showed why he’s arguably the best cornerback in college football. The defense should hopefully keep Michigan in games.

Can the Wolverines be complementary in all three phases? Until last year, Michigan under Jim Harbaugh was always a methodical team that would pull away late instead of really showing off and blowing teams out. There were a lot of one-possession games late, even if Michigan was dominating its opponent in multiple facets, and then the Wolverines would wear people down.

Watching Michigan’s game against Fresno State on Saturday, it felt like the early Harbaugh era. It reminded me of watching the 2015 team with Jake Rudock at quarterback — a really good defensive team trying to find its way on offense.

Michigan is, by its own admission, a developmental program. Because the Wolverines won a national championship, we automatically think that they can reload like Georgia, Texas, Alabama and Ohio State all do. But that’s not what Michigan is. They can’t just have a sustained best-in-the-country program year in and year out, because that’s not what they do. They recruit and develop.

I thought Saturday night was the start of that development process under Moore. I think this team can still win nine or 10 games. Michigan will be OK, I just don’t think we can expect the Wolverines to remain in the upper echelon of the sport this year.

Colorado needs to change its formula

Last week, I predicted the Buffaloes would win, but not cover, against a tough North Dakota State team. Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter were incredible again, but I’m not riding high with Colorado.

I was convinced this offseason that we would see a Colorado team that had gotten better at the line of scrimmage, better on defense, better at situational football and better in Deion Sanders’ game plan. What I watched Thursday night was two elite stars and a whole lot of questions. Sanders and Hunters carried the Buffaloes, but all the same issues from last year remained.

In fairness, it’s the first game of the season, and Coach Prime just oversaw another massive roster turnover via the transfer portal. Maybe the Buffaloes will get better before next week’s huge game at Nebraska. Teams often show the most amount of growth between Weeks 1 and 2 because coaches now have game tape to identify flaws.

But the problem is that all the issues that cropped up in Colorado’s 31-26 win are things we saw last year. That sets off alarm bells for me. Colorado had fewer than 3 yards per carry and no creativity in the run game. Being over-reliant on the passing game exposes Shedeur and is unsustainable.

At some point, the offensive line is going to have to contribute, because right now it’s not happening.

How did Colorado’s win affect the outlook for the team this season?

Shedeur was only sacked one time, but that’s because he was phenomenal under pressure, going 7-for-9 for 185 yards and a touchdown. But he was still pressured on 30% of his drop backs against an FCS team — an alarming statistic.

As for Hunter, I know we all love to see him play both ways, but something has to change with his usage. He played basically every snap on defense, missed only two snaps on offense, and played seven snaps on special teams. He played in 136 of a possible 140 snaps, which is not sustainable.

Michigan lawmakers work through the night on ‘compromise’ budget

Michigan lawmakers work through the night on ‘compromise’ budget

Lansing — Michigan lawmakers worked through the night into Friday morning on a new state budget that will use an array of spending cuts and funding maneuvers to close a $1 billion tax revenue gap.

The plan will increase the state’s investment in basic per-student support for Michigan schools and will feature $125 million for special projects sought by legislators. However, 10 state departments will get less money than they had the year before, and a variety of state initiatives, such as the arts and culture program, Pure Michigan and the Office of Global Michigan, will see cuts.

Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Sarah Anthony, D-Lansing, described the new budget, which authorized somewhere around $84 billion in spending, as one “full of compromises.”

“This was a very challenging budget negotiation, mainly because of the $1 billion deficit that we had to ensure to address,” Anthony said. “But being able to do so without reducing any benefits for folks who are receiving Medicaid or food assistance is probably the proudest thing … that comes out of this process.”

The Legislature convened throughout the night Thursday into Friday morning, when the state Capitol would normally have been closed for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Under state law, the Republican-led House and Democratic-led Senate are supposed to approve a new budget by July 1 each year. The first of the funding bills wasn’t unveiled this week until about 3:13 a.m. Friday morning, two days after the deadline.

Lawmakers would likely have a few hours to read the bills before the final votes, which were expected later Friday.

On Thursday afternoon, Sen. John Damoose, R-Harbor Springs, said Senate Republicans had no information about what was in the budget blueprint. He labeled the process playing out in the Legislature “nonsense.”

Likewise, Sen. Jim Runestad, R-White Lake Township, said lawmakers had about 30 to 40 minutes between being briefed on the budget and when they had to vote on it.

“We have no idea what’s in these bills,” Runestad said.

In February, Jen Flood, Whitmer’s budget director, said the state was facing a $1.8 billion financial gap. Health care costs had jumped, the Legislature had dedicated more tax dollars to roads, and the federal government, led by Republican President Donald Trump, had forced states to pay for a larger share of costs associated with food assistance for low-income families.

Whitmer initially proposed an $88.1 budget for next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. She sought a bevy of new taxes on smokers, gamblers and digital advertising. Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, refused to go along with the tax hikes.

The new budget will be somewhat close to the current budget in overall amount of approximately $84 million.

Hall and Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, D-Grand Rapids, had been working for weeks to create the new funding plan. Hall announced a final deal had been reached Thursday.

The ultimate agreement involved dozens of other bills that were tied to the budget’s approval, including a long-sought measure by some Democrats that would double the cap on the state’s transformational brownfield program, which allows businesses behind large developments to keep income tax and sales withholdings resulting from their projects, from $1.6 billion to $3.2 billion.

The incentive is expected to be used to spur the redevelopment of Detroit’s riverfront Renaissance Center. The Senate approved the brownfield bill in December. The House voted 82-26 in favor of it early Friday.

The Senate also took up early Friday a House-backed proposal to ban former lawmakers from being paid to lobby for two years after leaving office. The bill passed in a vote of 29-7.

How will schools be funded?

Sen. Darrin Camilleri, D-Trenton, acknowledged lawmakers were shifting a larger amount of School Aid Fund money, which would normally go to K-12 schools, toward higher education and community colleges.

The number appeared to rise from about $1.3 billion in the current year to about $2 billion in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, setting a new record. Whitmer had proposed using $1.7 billion from the School Aid Fund to support the operations of universities and community colleges.

The moves effectively free up money in the General Fund, where tax dollars are currently tight, for other needs.

“It’s too much,” Camilleri said of the shifts. “But we’re dealing with a divided Legislature with different priorities, and we all needed to fill the budget gap.”

Robert McCann, executive director of the K-12 Alliance of Michigan, blasted the approach lawmakers took.

“Nothing in this budget justifies it once again being done late,” McCann said. “There is little in it focused on supporting Michigan’s schools, even as it raids nearly $2 billion from the School Aid Fund to pay for data centers and corporate tax handouts.”

The K-12 budget went down from $21.3 billion to $19.8 billion, a 7 percent drop in federal funds on paper.

But the plan appears to allow the federal funds not included in the tally to be spent, so it wasn’t clear how much total spending there would actually be under the legislation.

Lawmakers are increasing the base per-pupil foundation allowance for schools by about 2.5% from $10,050 to $10,300. They are also investing $50 million in high-impact tutoring and instituting a long-term plan for a so-called weighted funding formula, which would tie extra support to economically disadvantaged students and students who are learning English.

House Appropriations Chairwoman Ann Bollin, R-Brighton, touted the weighted funding formula, which will be phased in over the next 15 years.

“This is a transformational school budget, where we are making record investments,” Bollin said.

For Michigan’s public universities, overall funding increased by 12% from $2.3 billion to $2.6 billion, with more money for operations and scholarships.

What were the cuts and projects?

Lawmakers’ final plan also cut $8 million in funding for the Pure Michigan tourism campaign, which received $17 million in support in the current year. The Office of Global Michigan got $500,000 less, dropping its total to about $41.4 million. And the arts and culture program got $685,200 less, dropping its total to $8 million.

Among state departments, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy saw the largest percentage drop in funding of 31%, going from $967 million to $671 million. The decrease was largely due to the reduction of money for a federal sewage and stormwater program.

Lawmakers did provide $125 million for special projects around the state.

There was $3 million for the Schoenherr Road Bridge Reconstruction in Shelby Township, $1.4 million for the Rochester Community House expansion and renovation, $3.7 million for water main replacements in Utica and $2 million for a fire station project in Waterford Township, according to the spending plan.

Fourth inmate from Michigan’s female prison dies after cardiac event

Fourth inmate from Michigan’s female prison dies after cardiac event

Another inmate from Michigan’s female prison died on Thursday, the Michigan Department of Corrections reported, becoming the fourth female inmate to die at the facility plagued by complaints of poor conditions since May.

Dalephenia Jones, 62, of the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility died at Trinity Health Hospital about two weeks after correctional officers found that she needed medical assistance in her cell, the department said.

“As this was an unexpected death, the department will be investigating the events preceding Ms. Jones being sent to the hospital and will provide information on the result of those investigations when they are complete,” Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jenni Riehle said in a statement.

Three prior deaths at the women’s facility led 30 state lawmakers on May 19 to urge the resignation of Michigan Department of Corrections Director Heidi Washington, citing a history of problems at the state prisons under her leadership.

The prison has recently been under fire over its conditions. A state House oversight committee heard testimony in February from prisoners, advocates and former staff who testified about the conditions, including mold and a lack of medical care, similar to complaints that have risen since the two women’s deaths.

The prison’s warden, Jeremy Howard, was put “temporarily on personal leave,” the department said earlier this month.

Washington and other health care leadership have been onsite regularly at Women’s Huron Valley since the other deaths occurred in May, Riehle said.

On June 19, Huron Valley corrections officers took Jones to the facility’s health care area after finding her conscious but in need of medical assistance, the department said. The health care staff requested outside emergency medical services, the department said.

Emergency technicians determined that “Jones was having a cardiac event and she was taken into surgery after arrival at the hospital,” Riehle said.

No other specifics were given about Jones’ condition during the 14 days following surgery or the cause of the cardiac event. But Riehl said Jones “had multiple documented chronic medical conditions for which she was being offered medical treatment as part of a chronic care plan,” some of which potentially increased the risk for cardiac events.

Jones was sentenced in Wayne County to life in prison in 1994 at the Huron Valley facility.

“The department continues to take meaningful actions at Women’s Huron Valley Correctional, and other facilities, to improve the health and safety of incarcerated individuals,” Riehle said.

Riehle maintained that the department has sent “experienced clinical leadership from across the state” to the facility and that it is “hiring additional full-time medical staff, developing a new healthcare staffing plan with enhanced nursing management, improving communication, among other action items that provide additional supports.”

The concerns about the facility began after Khaira Howard, 28, died May 14 in a medical observation cell at Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility. Howard’s parents are calling for reform at the Ypsilanti facility and for answers about their daughter’s death.

Rebecca Fackler, 57, another prisoner, died May 17. Both Fackler and Howard reportedly died after they were denied medical care, said two attorneys handling civil cases for loved ones of the two women.

In early June, Ashley Hoath, 36, died at Trinity Health Hospital several hours after being transferred out of the prison’s medical unit, Riehle said.

Ocasio-Cortez backs El-Sayed in Michigan U.S. Senate race

Ocasio-Cortez backs El-Sayed in Michigan U.S. Senate race

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a potential presidential or U.S. Senate candidate in 2028 and a popular, recognized leader in progressive politics nationwide, has endorsed former Wayne County and Detroit health director Abdul El-Sayed in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary for the nomination to Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat this year.

Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, announced the endorsement in an interview with the New York Times. On July 2, El-Sayed’s campaign put out a statement from her, saying, “After watching this campaign unfold for well over a year, it has become clear that Abdul El-Sayed is the strongest candidate to keep this seat in November.”

“He is building a winning coalition by putting forward an agenda that speaks directly to working people,” she said. “He is not afraid to take on the greed making life unaffordable across Michigan because he’s never taken a dime in corporate donations. When he gets to Washington, he will work to get big money out of politics and to guarantee healthcare as a human right to all Americans. I am proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed to be Michigan’s next senator.”

It adds to an already impressive list of endorsements that includes the UAW and Detroit’s Black Slate.

El-Sayed, who was born in Michigan, trained as a medical doctor and worked in public health, is a strong supporter of government-provided healthcare, abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and an arms embargo on Israel; polling averages show him narrowly leading the Aug. 4 primary over U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens of Birmingham and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow of Royal Oak and the frontrunner to face Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers of White Lake for the seat in the fall.

Stevens, who is seen as a more moderate, mainstream Democrat, has also racked up endorsements, such as those from former U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm; McMorrow, making her first run for federal office, has positioned herself as a more progressive Democrat who is less tied to the party’s establishment than Stevens but more politically experienced than El-Sayed, and has gotten endorsements from U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Chris Murphy of Connecticut and others.

The Free Press typically doesn’t cover individual political endorsements unless they are newsworthy. And in this case, Ocasio-Cortez’ endorsement doesn’t come as a surprise: Like El-Sayed, she is an unapologetic advocate for progressivism in the Democratic Party and she also endorsed him in 2018 as she was running for Congress for the first time and he had mounted an ultimately unsuccessful effort to win the party’s nomination for governor, losing to Gretchen Whitmer, who became governor.

Other progressive stalwarts, including U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, have also already endorsed El-Sayed.

But given Ocasio-Cortez’ national profile, she could be a potentially significant factor in bolstering the support El-Sayed has seen in what some progressive backers consider the most important primary of the year and one that could be determinative as to whether left-leaning candidates break through. Her endorsement − and any appearances, if she were to campaign for El-Sayed in Michigan − could also be helpful, given that absentee voting by mail has begun.

Also, unlike past election cycles, in this current one Ocasio-Cortez has been far more circumspect about handing out her endorsement, as she has been talked about as a potential candidate for president in 2028 or a challenger to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York that year. Those endorsements have also seemingly paid off with her preferred candidates winning primaries this year in California, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

Ocasio-Cortez also has seemed more wary of endorsing in races where House colleagues have been challenged. But in endorsing El-Sayed, Ocasio-Cortez does so in a U.S. Senate race where Schumer has spoken publicly of his belief that Stevens, who was elected in the same class as Ocasio-Cortez and flipped a previously Republican district in Michigan, is better positioned to win in November.

Ocasio-Cortez’ endorsement of El-Sayed is her first in a competitive U.S. Senate race this year, as well. Taken together, it is indicative that Ocasio-Cortez expects El-Sayed to win the primary, despite Michigan’s history of electing more moderate Democrats to the U.S. Senate. (No Republican has won a U.S. Senate race in Michigan since Spencer Abraham in 1994 and he served a single term before being defeated.)

“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people,” El-Sayed said in response to the endorsement. “She has spent her career taking on the powerful on behalf of everyday people and she has shown all of us what courageous, smart, values-driven leadership looks like. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement.”

The state Republican Party, for one, was unimpressed, with spokesman Greg Manz calling it “the least surprising political news of the week.”

“It takes one unhinged, radical socialist to spot another, and Abdul El-Sayed has made it clear he’d rather push the reckless Green New Scam that would kill Michigan auto manufacturing jobs and support dangerous immigration policies that would allow illegal, criminal invaders into Michigan neighborhoods than protect hardworking Michigan families,” he said.
