Oregon, Boise State Marquee Matchup

Today marks the beginning of the college football season, and to recognize that, I'd like to draw your attention to one of the greatest broadcast concepts ESPN ever came up with.

Lou Holtz's pep talks.

If you click on the above, you'll see unbridled passion bordering on crazed lunacy. But above all, you'll see brilliance.

After you've indulged in that, check out this list of nine college football games being played tonight. Among them is a 7 p.m. matchup between South Carolina — where Lou Holtz once coached — and NC State on ESPN.

After that game is over, at 10:15 p.m., ESPN is broadcasting a doozy: No. 16 Oregon plays at No. 14 Boise State in perhaps the toughest ticket of the week. This article from The Oregonian talks about how unique this matchup is. Boise is favored, but the game should be hotly contested.
