Games:

1. Texas-San Antonio at South Alabama (Thurs.)
2. South Carolina at Vanderbilt (Thurs.)
3. Eastern Michigan at Ball State (Thurs.)
4. Washington State at BYU (Thurs.)
5. Tennessee vs. NC State (Fri., neutral site)
6. Boise State at Michigan State (Fri.)
7. Notre Dame vs. Navy (neutral site, in Ireland)

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
