8:00 PM Nebraska @ Minnesota -7 O/U 42.5 - The Matt Rhule era begins for Nebraska and welcome in Georgia Tech transfer Jeff Sims at QB. He faces a gophers defense that ranked 8th nationally a season ago.

7:30 PM Louisville @ Georgia Tech +7.5 O/U 49.5  - The Jeff Brohm era begins for Louisville and he will have a familiar face in QB Jack Plummer. Georgia Tech will lean on its defense and secondary which was one of the best in the nation last season. Tough opener.

11:00 PM  Stanford @ Hawaii -3 O/U 55.5 - Hawaii off a loss to Vanderbilt showed fight in a 7 point loss. Stanford welcomes in an entire new program with coach Troy Taylor.  The line opened at 7 and it could be a very emotional game on the island.
