It’s week 5 in college football and the big game on my radar today is Clemson vs UNC at 3:30pm.
There are several other really big games coming on this afternoon, according to CBS Sports:
No. 18 Virginia at No. 10 Notre Dame, NBC, stream on FuboTV (Try for free) 3:30 p.m.: The Fighting Irish hope to rebound from last Saturday’s emotional loss to Georgia against a Cavaliers team that didn’t exactly look sharp last weekend in a win over Old Dominion. Keep an eye on how Virginia’s stout rush defense gets after a Notre Dame rushing attack that has been less than stellar.
No. 21 USC at No. 17 Washington, Fox, stream on FuboTV (Try for free) 3:30 p.m.: The revolving door of quarterbacks hasn’t stopped the Trojans from making the top 25. Matt Fink has gone from third-string to starter after JT Daniels suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 1 and Kedon Slovis got knocked out of last week’s win over Utah. He might have to go score-for-score in a shootout against the Huskies. Quarterback Jacob Eason can sling it and has a great set of receivers.
No. 5 Ohio State at Nebraska, ABC, 7:30 p.m.: The biggest game of Scott Frost’s two-year tenure with the Cornhuskers will take place Saturday night, and it’ll be against an Ohio State team that not only has a star at quarterback in Justin Fields, but has fixed its biggest problem from last year — the defense. Will the Nebraska fans rattle the Buckeyes? We’ll see. This is the biggest road game of Fields’ career.
Ole Miss at No. 2 Alabama, CBS, 3:30 p.m.: Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide will take the big stage on the SEC on CBS for the second time this season, and will do so against the Rebels, who were the last team to topple the Tide inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Keep an eye on how quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his talented receivers attack one of the worst pass defenses in the country.
As we did last time, here’s a Twitter feed that will give you the scores of the games:
