The Arizona Cardinals are making cuts to get down to their initial 53-man roster, but the college football season is officially underway.
There are a number of big games with big name prospects taking their act out for the first time this season.
It started this morning with Josh Allen struggling against the Iowa Hawkeyes, but one game does not a prospect make.
This afternoon, we have some really great matchups, none with top quarterbacks involved:
USC vs Western Michigan Pac12 Network
Obviously all eyes on Sam Darnold, but this will have more impact if he's bad than if he plays well.
Louisville vs Purdue 4:30pm MT on Fox
The reigning Heisman winner, Lamar Jackson starts his defense of the crown of best player in college football.
Florida State vs Alabama 5pm MT on ABC
Two powerhouses collide in what could be a preview of the National Championship Game.
Talk and enjoy.
