Welcome to SCtoC's Football Game Day for Week 1.
We start on Friday at 7:15 p.m. (PT) as Boise St., which is projected by many to finish in the BCS top 10, welcomes the Washington Huskies to the Bronco blue turf.
For this Saturday, Sept. 5, we've got a pair of match ups to get you primed for the upcoming season, each featuring one of the Pac-12's last two conference champions. First up, Quarterback Kevin Hogan leads the Stanford Cardinal as they travel to Illinois to face the Northwestern Wildcats. It's an early one, starting at 9 a.m. PT. Later in the afternoon, at 5 p.m. (PT), Oregon will put their new starting quarterback, Vernon Adams, to the test against his old school as the Ducks host the Eastern Washington Eagles.
Please, come and comment. We have a brief preview with all the times and viewing information, and a poll which you see at the top of the page. All times are pacific.
Now, on to our games (all times are pacific).
