What to Watch -- Week 2

The flip side to the "Greatest Opening Weekend Ever" is the barren wasteland of week 2, but ESPN won't ever admit that.  All of those teams playing in the marquee week 1 games come home to their cupcakes.  At least we have a marquee week 2 game to look foward to.

Thursday, September 8
C'mon, it's the NFL kickoff...go over to NBC and watch a rematch of the Super Bowl.  No college ball here.

Friday, September 9
8 PM
Louisville at Syracuse, ESPN2.  This should give us a better indication of how Louisville will do this year.

Saturday, September 10
Noon
Penn State at Pitt, ESPN.  Renewing a dormant rivalry, this is an interesting non-conference Power 5 matchup.

3:30 PM
Kentucky at Florida, CBS.  An early season rivalry, although it might be a bit lopsided.

8 PM
Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee, ABC.  The long awaited Battle at Bristol.  The game played at a racetrack.  Tennessee struggled against App State in week 1, while VT showed promise against Liberty.

10:30 PM
UVA at Oregon, ESPN.  The nightcap looks to be very one sided, and UVA will probably prove to be a decent alternative to SNL.
