This weekend also has the potential for upsets, as Houston almost saw on Thursday. I will be putting this as my game to watch for the upcoming week, and I will be making the trip to Louisville to watch the Cards play in person. The Seminoles scored five touchdowns of 35 or more yards in that 2014 game. Jackson has propelled himself into Heisman Trophy talks, and rightfully so.

The ‘Noles will need young players to step up to fill in for injured safety Derwin James.
The Cards need to get home on pass rush and they absolutely cannot allow Dalvin Cook to run wild.
Trailing unranked Virginia Tech 14-0 a week after barely escaping App State, Tennessee was on the verge of totally flaming out before it even entered conference play.
College football’s third week of the 2016 season looks like it could be memorable on paper, but will I pan out?
Louisville (2-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) hosts the Seminoles (2-0, 0-0) on Saturday in one of the program’s biggest games. When it comes to yardage, the Cardinals average almost 70 more yards per game than the next closest team. Cook has 174 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, and two touchdowns through two weeks this season.
Star quarterback Greg Ward Jr. sat out against Lamar with a shoulder issue, and though he is scheduled to play against Cincinnati, you have to wonder if the Cougars may start slow at an underrated road venue against the Bearcats. Ole Miss did a great job of keeping me in the box and that’s why (FSU quarterback Deondre) Francois delivered how he delivered. According to Shutdown Fullcast, if Jackson were a college football offense, he would rank 44th in the country.
Clemson looked lackluster in the Tigers’ first two games of the season before hammering South Carolina State in Week 3. But beating Ole Miss on the road would go a long way in solidifying the Tide’s place atop the national rankings. So through two games he’s hit on 58 of 84 throws, good for 69 percent. “(This will) be another great test and challenge early in our season. Freshman Jalen Hurts has emerged as the leader for Alabama and has been successful with both his arm and his feet giving the Tide another rushing weapon to an already stout backfield. His commentary will appear on syracuse.com every Thursday afternoon throughout the SU football season.
The rest of the defensive line hasn’t produced like Walker, but they are a very talented and well respected group. A coughed up punt late against Charlotte resulted in one of the 49ers’ two touchdowns.
First and foremost would be No. 12 Michigan State at No. 18 Notre Dame (NBC).
Florida State University has a freshman quarterback in the team. James was injured in third quarter when Florida State was well ahead, 42-6.
Cook, all three players Winston threw touchdown passes to and 40 other Seminoles remain on the current FSU roster. “But for our players, it’s just about focusing and practicing, going about their business excatly the way we have been”.
For all the revelry over college football’s opening Saturday, this Week 3 Saturday trumps it.

Sounds like a microcosm of the ACC’s strong start. Neither of these teams likes to play defense, so expect a high-scoring affair. Fields made the All-ACC preseason team, along with Walker, and has eight total tackles, one for a loss, and one sack this year. The offense is better off with Hinton than the steadier John Wolford.
