College football's Week 1 winners and losers

Two years ago, Penn State lost to Virginia when he missed a field goal on the final play. Flash forward to Ireland on Saturday, and the senior redeemed himself with a 36-yard kick at the gun to lift the Nittany Lions past Central Florida 26-24. Ficken's fourth field goal of the game gave James Franklin, his fourth head coach during his time at Penn State, a winning debut. More winners from Week 1: Notre Dame offense: There was no rust for quarterback Everett Golson after sitting out last season. He ran for two touchdowns and threw for two scores in the first half against Rice, and Notre Dame rolled to a 48-17 opening win that provided some positive light to the program mired in an academic scandal. Golson's mobility and arm will make the Irish offense more difficult to defend than last year, when Tommy Rees was behind center.
