College football viewer’s guide: Drafting the best Week 1 games (08/29)
The Cover 3 crew previews the Week 1 schedule with the games to watch. First, the impact of Nebraska’s loss to Northwestern in Ireland has brought a lot of pressure on Scott Frost, but is the discussion of a coaching change premature? Plus, expectations for Auburn and its offense with TJ Finley now named the starting quarterback. Then it’s on to the draft of Week 1 matchups, where each host is tasked with picking exactly one game for Thursday night, Friday night and one game for each Saturday window (early, midday, primetime).
