Week 3 is light on blockbusters but heavy on rivalry games, including the newly relocated Apple Cup, the game formerly known as the Civil War, and the Backyard Brawl. The weeknight slate has a couple of great games, starting with Arizona State’s visit to Texas State. In this show, Alex, Richard, and Steven take you through dozens of games they think will be interesting.
Producer: Anthony Vito.
