The highlight of Week 2 in college football kicks off early on Saturday.
No. 3 Texas will visit No. 10 Michigan, the defending national champion, in the only top-10 matchup of the day. This game is part of Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff and happens 20 years after the Longhorns won their only previous encounter in a memorable Rose Bowl.
Last season, the Longhorns were in the College Football Playoff but lost to Washington, the team that Michigan defeated in the championship game.
Another notable game features No. 14 Tennessee against No. 24 North Carolina State, which is the only other Top 25 matchup. Watch for Tennessee’s talented Nico Iamaleava to challenge the Wolfpack defense in Charlotte.
The rest of the schedule has its own excitement.
Boise State and standout running back Ashton Jeanty will face No. 7 Oregon, which struggled last week with FCS Idaho. Dillon Gabriel had good numbers against Idaho but was sacked three times, and the Ducks had eight penalties.
Boise State, a strong contender for the Group of Five spot in the College Football Playoff, will be a tough opponent despite being underdogs by nearly three touchdowns.
Deion Sanders will lead his Colorado Buffaloes to Nebraska for a matchup between former Big Eight-Big 12 rivals looking to get back on track.
The focus will be on the quarterbacks: Colorado’s dynamic Shadeur Sanders and highly-rated freshman Dylan Raiola.
Arkansas, fresh off a 70-0 win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, will have a tougher challenge when it travels to No. 16 Oklahoma State.
Iowa State will visit No. 21 Iowa for the annual CyHawk Game, and South Carolina will head to Kentucky for the first Southeastern Conference game of the season.
