THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!
There are some really interesting games.... well, there's one interesting game, the late game with Arizona at USC, and that's only because it's a chance to see a top-tier program that's in a funk lose.
Rutgers at Louisville - you think this might be interesting... but the line favors Louisville by 17.5. Remember Shawn Watson, you know, that Shawn Watson offensive coordinator guy leftover from Bill Callahan's staff that we couldn't wait to be rid of? Yeah, that guy? He's Louisville's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. (Here: Go Back And Look At How Much We Hated Him.)
Louisville is 18th in total offense (Nebraska is 19th) and their quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, is 10th nationally in passing with 312.4 yards per game. He's third if you look at his rating, and he has thrown for 16 TDs with just one interception.
Hey, maybe you should be watching this Louisville game just to see Teddy Bridgewater in action, and if you're a Vikings fan, or one of about 24 other NFL teams, hope that your team can pick him up in next year's NFL draft.
