this is a copy and paste from a post I made last night but for anyone who missed it here are the games I think have the best chance of being good tonight.

Coastal Carolina at Jacksonville State
Has decent potential to be a shootout. Jacksonville State is coming off a surprisingly good first season as an FBS squad and Coastal is trying to prove they can maintain w/o Jamey Chadwell.

North Carolina at Minnesota
Only P4 matchup but I think UNC should roll if they avoid turnovers.

North Dakota State at Colorado
Mild potential to see an upset but NDSU has a new HC this year in Tim Polsek who was previously Wyoming's OC. CU should be able to out talent them. Should be a good test to see if Dion has this team disciplined or not.


Sleeper pick
Sacramento State at San Jose State
Ken Niumatalolo's debut w/the Spartans. SJSU lost pretty much their entire offense from last year's squad While Sacto is expected to be a top 10 FCS team. If I were betting on an FCS over FBS upset I'd look here. Also, one mild bummer in this one is Niumatalolo won't be running the option. It sounds like it will look something like what Texas State currently runs.
