After a wild opening weekend of the 2016 college football season, we are set to kick off Week 2 on Friday night. Unfortunately, Week 2 lacks the marquee match ups that we saw early and often with a loaded opening weekend schedule.
The action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday with a meeting between FIU and Maryland. To cap off the opening night of Week 2, No. 13 Louisville and star quarterback Lamar Jackson will have the opportunity to continue rolling when they take on Syracuse.
Saturday’s full slate then kicks off at noon with a handful of solid match ups, headlined by the cross-state rivalry between Pittsburgh and Penn State.
The Week 2 schedule is highlighted by the biggest college football game ever, The Battle at Bristol between the No. 17 Tennessee Volunteers and Virginia Tech Hokies.
