No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (0-0) vs. No. 8 Clemson Tigers (0-0) Preview

 

No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Clemson square off in the marquee game of the week. Aaron Murray came five yards shy of leading Georgia to the BCS Championship Game as a junior last season before time ran out against eventual national champion Alabama. Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd enjoyed a record-setting junior campaign and joins Murray as a preseason candidate to take home the Heisman Trophy.

Murray, whose 95 touchdown passes are more than any active FBS player, was named the preseason SEC player of the year despite the presence of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the reigning Heisman winner while Boyd threw for 3,896 yards and 36 touchdowns last season en route to winning ACC player of the year honors. In addition to the top-tier quarterbacks, both teams possess electrifying complementary players such as Georgia running back Todd Gurley and Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins.

Georgia will begin their season in daunting fashion, facing No. 8 Clemson, No. 7 South Carolina and No. 13 LSU in three of their first four games. The tough schedule will pose an early challenge for their top running backs, Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, who combined for 2,144 yards and 25 touchdowns as true freshmen last year. Defensively, head coach Mark Richt must find a way to replace seven starters, including first round picks Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogeltree.

Clemson is coming off their best season since winning the 1981 National Championship with a 12-0 record. Only five teams averaged more than Clemson's 41.0 points per game last season, but it won't be easy to replace running back Andre Ellington (1,081 yards, eight touchdowns) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (1,405 yards, 18 touchdowns). The Tigers also have to find a way to shore up their pass defense, which ranked 71st nationally last season and will face an immediate test against Aaron Murray and Georgia.

ATB and WagerWeb NCAA Football 7 Team "Parlay Perfection" Contest

North Carolina (0-0) vs. No. 6 South Carolina (0-0) Preview

North Carolina and South Carolina open up the college football season under the lights in Columbia tomorrow night on ESPN. South Carolina is at an all-time high in the preseason polls because of junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, one of the premier players in the country who was voted the nation's top defensive end last season and finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. The Gamecocks also return starting quarterback Connor Shaw, who has never lost at home as a starter.

One of Shaw's top targets will be junior wide receiver Bruce Ellington, who's also the starting point guard for South Carolina's basketball team. We can expect tight end Rory Anderson to get plenty of looks over the middle, as he's averaged 20.9 yards a catch during his first two seasons with the team. South Carolina did lose five senior linebackers to graduation but they feature an experienced returning secondary.

North Carolina also returns a talented quarterback in senior Bryn Renner, who has thrown for more than 3,000 yards each of the last two seasons. Renner' main target, wide receiver Quinshad Davis is also back. The South Carolina native who set freshman school records last season for receptions (61) and receiving yardage (776). 6-7, 305-pound left tackle James Hurst will protect Renner's blind side and redshirt freshman Jon Heck will start at right tackle. Hurst and Heck will be tested all night against Jadeveon Clowney, who recorded 13 sacks last season.

The Tar Heels look to bounce back from a down year defensively, as they were ranked 10th out of 12 teams in the ACC after allowing 32.9 points per game during conference play. Seven starters will return, including defensive end Kareem Martin, a second team all-conference selection last season. South Carolina is the highest-ranked opponent that North Carolina has faced since 2005.

This is a highly anticipated game because both teams have a lot of potential. The Gamecocks are considered one of the best teams in the country but the Tar Heels have an experienced quarterback in Bryn Renner and enough talent to hang around, even if the game is on the road. If Jadeveon Clowney is able to get in the North Carolina backfield, South Carolina will have no trouble winning this game, if not, will be closer than many expect.

North Carolina (0-0) vs. No. 6 South Carolina (0-0) Preview

No. 24 USC Trojans (0-0) vs. Hawaii Warriors (0-0) Preview

 

USC hasn't decided who will replace Matt Barkley at quarterback when they travel to Hawaii in the season opener. Head coach Lane Kiffin said that sophomores Max Wittek and Cody Kessler will split time under center in this game and he won't name a starter until after the team arrives in Honolulu.

Max Wittek passed for just 293 total yards with five interceptions against Notre Dame and Georgia Tech last season after Matt Barkley suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Wittek wasn't impressive in fall camp either and didn't separate himself from Cody Kessler.

While the quarterback situation is still up in the air, there are no issues at wide receiver with junior Marqise Lee, who finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting and won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best wideout after setting a school record with 118 receptions last season.

Senior running back Silas Redd, who rushed for 905 yards with nine touchdowns last season, is a game-time decision after undergoing knee surgery five months ago to repair a meniscus tear. If Redd can't play, freshman Justin Davis or sophomore Tre Madden will start.

The USC defense will return several standouts, including senior outside linebacker Morgan Breslin (13 sacks last season), sophomore defensive end Leonard Williams (eight sacks) and junior safety Dion Bailey (six interceptions as a starting linebacker over his first two college seasons).

Hawaii will also have a new quarterback as Taylor Graham, son of former NFL signal caller Kent Graham, transferred from Ohio State. Graham won the starting job from Sean Schroeder (11 touchdowns, 12 interceptions last season) and the Warriors expect him to improve an attack that ranked 118th out of 120 FBS teams in total offense (297.4 yards per game) and scored only 21.2 points per game last season.

The bad news for the Warriors is that their leading running back Joey Iosefa (1,011 career yards) is sidelined with a foot injury, so unproven freshmen Steven Lakalaka and Aofaga Wily and senior Marcus Langkilde will have carry the rock against the Trojans. The Warriors allowed 35.7 points per game last season and the defense will bring back eight starters, including sophomore safety Marrell Jackson (tied for a team-high with 56 tackles), senior outside linebacker Art Laurel (13 career sacks) and junior defensive end Beau Yap (10.5 tackles for loss last year).

This is the kind of game that could help USC get the season started off on the right foot. The quarterback situation hasn't been sorted out for USC but this game has the potential to be a blowout. USC is 8-0 against Hawaii, including five wins at Aloha Stadium, and the Trojans routed the Warriors 49-10 last season in Los Angeles.

Look for a big game from Marqise Lee. He had 10 receptions for 197 yards and one touchdown and added a 100-yard kick return score in last season's win against Hawaii.

Washington Nationals (61-64) vs. Chicago Cubs (54-71) Preview

Washington Nationals (61-64) vs. Chicago Cubs (54-71) Preview

 

The Nationals and the Cubs continue their four-game series at Wrigley Field. After an 11-1 loss in the series opener and a 3-1 victory last night, the Nationals give the ball to Ross Ohlendorf so he can keep them in the postseason race. The Nationals are 15 games behind the Braves in the National League East and 9½ games behind the Reds for the second Wild Card.

The Nationals have an impressive 55-15 record when they score three or more runs but they're 6-49 when they fail to score that many runs. The Cubs also have trouble bringing runners home, as they have scored two or fewer runs in eight of their last 11 home games. The Cubs are hitting a major league-worst .220 with runners in scoring position and they were 0-for-8 in that situation last night.

According to the oddsmakers at BetAnySports, the Nationals are at +102, the Cubs are at -112 and the total is set at 9.

Pitching Matchup:

Ross Ohlendorf (2-0, 1.85 ERA) vs. Jake Arrieta (1-0, 0.69 ERA)

Ross Ohlendorf has been on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation and he will make his first appearance since July 31. Ohlendorf has allowed two runs in 13 innings over two starts this season. His last game was against the Mets on July 26. That day he had eight strikeouts and allowed only one run in seven innings to get a no decision. The right-hander has pitched well against the Cubs, going 2-0 with a 2.75 ERA in six starts. He does have a 5.06 ERA in three outings at Wrigley Field. Starlin Castro, who is in a 1-for-27 slump, is 3-for-15 against him.

A change of scenery has helped Jake Arrieta, who is 1-0 with an 0.69 ERA in two starts for the Cubs. Arrieta was dominant his last time out, giving up two hits and striking out seven in seven scoreless innings to beat the Cardinals. He faced the Nationals four times with the Orioles, going 0-1 with a 5.57 ERA. Bryce Harper is 4-for-5 with a double against him.
