Any good, loyal fan will be glued to the television when their favorite team plays in Week 1 of college football. There are a few games that most viewers will also take interest in based on some of the offseason drama we have experienced.

On the other hand, Tua Tagovailoa put together one of the most spectacular halves of football ever seen in last year’s National Championship game.

To continue with headline quarterback battles, some question whether Kirby Smart is bold enough to get freshman Justin Fields some snaps under center early in the Georgia Bulldogs game against Austin Peay.
