Week zero gave us a nice appetizer. Illinois and Northwestern came out victorious, the Nebraska memes went over 9,000, and our thirst for college football was partially satiated watching a small selection of teams duke out almost a week ago.
But this week i the official start of college football. And boy are there good games on the slate! It goes without saying, Penn State at Purdue is the highlight of Thursday night, but Minnesota also kicks its season off on Thursday against former head coach Jerry Kill and the New Mexico State Aggies.
Friday sees another conference matchup between Illinois and Indiana, two teams who absolutely need a conference win to avoid being behind the eight ball in a year where conference wins might be few and far between.
