Sure, the opening weekend of college football had plenty of games that made Team USA's 121-66 basketball win against Angola look like a classic by comparison, but we didn't have to wait for Boise State and Virginia Tech on Monday night for a reminder of what we've missed lo these many football fallow months. You want drama? Navy-Maryland and East Carolina-Tulsa offered up a season's worth. But what is a more painful way to lose?

Maryland 17, Navy 14: The Midshipmen rolled up 412 yards on the ground, but they needed 413 for the win. Passing up a chance to tie the game with a field goal in the final minute (one of its only passes on the day), Navy went for broke on fourth down at the 1, only to see Ricky Dobbs stuffed short of the points.

• "What an awful decision to go for the touchdown. Maryland has not stopped you all day, you kick the field goal and take your chances in OT. I understand his reasoning for going for the win, but it was the wrong decision. And yes I would have said that even if they had gotten it." -- SN commenter wolverine0611

East Carolina 51, Tulsa 49: Last team with the ball wins? Absolutely, even if the last team with the ball is 33 yards away from the end zone with seconds remaining. Dominique Davis' Hail Mary landed in the arms of receiver Justin Jones to give East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill a win in his debut. Watch the Hail Mary | Watch the game

• "I was at this game. Atmosphere was absolutely electric. I'm still hoarse from screaming. What an unbelievable play, and unbelievable game in general. So frustrating to watch in the stands because of the horrible defense that Ruff's squad played. We have to improve there. But offensively, Dom Davis was incredible. This team is going to surprise a lot of people." -- SN commenter racefan3883

It won't be an easy weekend for BCS Cinderellas, even though they're all playing at home. Cincinnati faces No. 25 West Virginia, TCU gets the pressure of GameDay and No. 16 Utah, and Boise State deals with a surprising 7-3 Idaho (and a visiting AD who doesn't like to fly on planes with Broncos markings).
