College Football opening day: full TV schedule and start times
By Josh Sanchez
The 2013 college football season kicks off on Thursday night as we finally are able to say football season is finally hear. While there is a full slate of action scheduled for the opening night of the season, there is one game that stands out — North Carolina at South Carolina.
The player that everyone has been talking about, Gamecocks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, will get his first taste of football this season as fans prepare to see if he can continue his dominance and show that he is worth the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft.
The only other top 25 team to take the field will be the USC Trojans, but expect a fun night of games.
