Our college football writer is counting down the days until the 2019 season. Here are a few opening-week games he’s looking forward to:
1. Auburn vs. Oregon (Aug. 31, at Arlington, Texas)
The Ducks — led by returning quarterback Justin Herbert — are in my preseason Top 10 and the Tigers aren't far behind.
2. Notre Dame at Louisville (Sept. 2)
First-year Cardinals coach Scott Satterfield — who posted a 51-24 record at Appalachian State — receives a big test right away against a playoff semifinalist.
