Welcome to SCtoC's week 3 presentation of the 2016 college football season.
We're rolling out a couple of new aspects to this thread:
The first is a link to the radio broadcasts of each game. In our game previews, this will appear in the "Radio" line. At the bottom of the page, radio links for each game will appear in the schedule in our Other SCtoC Games This Week section. This will enable our readers to listen to one game, watch another, and comment here.
The second new item appears in our poll section and will allow our members to select the game(s) we will feature the follow week. You vote, we will preview it, and all of us will follow those games the next weekend.
We are featuring one game this week, and it promises to be a great one. The Washington St. Cougars, coming off a heartbreaking three-point loss to open the season, head to Idaho's state capital to battle the Boise St. Broncos, who opened their season with a decisive win. Kickoff is at 7:15 p.m. on ESPN2.
We will feature a brief preview and invite our members and readers to join the conversation as we follow each game.

Head Coaches: Washington St. - Mike Leach. Boise St. - Bryan Harsin.
Washington St.: The Cougars are 0-1 on the season after falling to Eastern Washington, 45-42, on Sept. 3. There was plenty of offense, but the defense was lacking, particularly in the third quarter.

Broncos' QB Brett Rypien, a Spokane native, is the nephew of former NFL QB Mark Rypien, who won two Super Bowls with the Washington Redskins and was named MVP of Super Bowl XXVI.
