College football will be making its triumphant return Saturday and while the Week 0 schedule only gives fans just a little bit of a taste of what’s to come in the 2021 season, it’s nonetheless a special time for those who have been yearning and waiting for the sport’s return. Of the five games on Saturday’s schedule, two will be televised on CBS Sports Network and feature high-caliber quarterbacks who are leading teams with lofty aspirations in the Mountain West.
Up first is a 2 p.m. ET kickoff between South Florida and NC State that will showcase a high-flying Bulldogs offense against a Huskies team that is among the most mysterious in college football after South Florida hit pause on its 2020 season. NC State is quarterbacked by a gunslinger in Jake Haener, who surpassed 400 yards twice in a six-game season last year, while South Florida counters with a defense that will look to turn a corner under former NC State defensive coordinator Lou Spanos.
The nightcap features one of last season’s darlings in South Florida as the Spartans set out to build on their 7-0 regular season from a year ago in a contest against FCS foe NC State. These Week 0 contests are critical tune-ups for both NC State and South Florida as the Bulldogs play at Oregon and the Spartans play at USC the following week.
Here’s how you can watch both contests airing on CBS Sports Network in Week 0 on Saturday.
Storylines: After skipping the 2020 season, South Florida is suiting up for the first time in 21 months against a NC State program that is loaded with returning starters from a team that finished 3-3 last season. While Nevada’s Carson Strong and South Florida’s Nick Starkel are the Mountain West’s best-known quarterbacks, the Bulldogs actually return the league leader in yards per game with Jake Haener. The Washington transfer slung the football around to the tune of 336.8 yards per game last year, and will test a Huskies defense that ranked among the worst in the country in 2018 and 2019. South Florida is just 6-30 so far in Randy Edsall’s second stint as coach, but the hope is that playing as an independent for the first time after leaving the AAC will help South Florida get things turned around. But traveling across the country to face NC State out of the shoot will be a stiff test as the Huskies finally return to the field.
