September 4th was the deadline for teams to set their 53 man roster.  Some veteran names were included, in the final cuts. Some notable names include, Tim Tebow, Reggie Wayne, Matt Cassel, Monte Ball, and former Green Bay Packer James Jones.

Jones was the Packers third round selection, in 2007.  In seven seasons, he accumulated 310 receptions, and 37 touchdowns.  Jones became a hot commodity, in 2012 when he found the end zone 14 times.  The Oakland Raiders signed Jones to a free agent contract, in 2014.  After spending one season, he became expendable when the Raiders drafted Amari Cooper, and signed Michael Crabtree.  Jones was among those cut, and the Packers wasted no time bringing Jones back, after putting Jordy Nelson on the injured reserve list.  

The 2015 college football season kicked off.  LIke many early season games, the schedule had a number of games that were decided by halftime.  However, BYU defeated Nebraska on a hail mary.  In the passion of the moment, Terenn Houk decided to hug the referee.  Every game counts in CFB, because of the playoff system.  Therefore, you will see some teams continue to roll up the score to impress voters and gain points in the BCS rankings.  One team had to roll up the score because their opponent would not go away.  The Oregon Ducks put up 61 points, but needed most of them as Eastern Washington scored 42.  A top 25 matchup had #20 Wisconsin traveling to #3 Alabama.  Both teams like to pound the ball with their running backs, and Alabama's Derrick Henry won that battle, and helped Alabama defeat the Badgers 35-17.  The Crimson Tide dominated the trenches on both sides of the ball holding Wisconsin to 40 rushing yards on 21 attempts, for a 1.9 yards per carry average.
