College Football Week 2

Another action packed college football Saturday kicks off in minutes. Later this evening, Virginia Tech will take on LSU in Baton Rouge. After a full day of beer and boudin balls, Tiger fans will be at their best. The stout LSU defense and the Tiger Stadium home field advantage will lift the Bayou Bengals over the Hokies 27-17.

In other action today, Memphis showed in improvement in the second half against Mississippi last week, but the Tigers will have their hands full with a confident Arkansas State team. The Indians will edge out a close one 31-28.

Tennessee will rebound and win at home over Southern Miss 31-20.

TCU will give Texas fits, but the Longhorns should take care of business after getting a scare from Arkansas State last week. Texas wins 28-23.

Finally, its Southern Heritage Classic week in Memphis. The SHC will be a competitive game with lots of entertainment in the stands during the game and at half time. After losing to the Fighting Okra of Division II Delta State last week its hard to pick Jackson State to win, but the Sonic Boom will inspire the Tigers to a victory over Tennessee State 17-13.
