No. 16 Nebraska travels to UCLA 
Penn State (0-1) @ Virginia (1-0), noon, ABC
Both Penn State and Virginia are coming off drastically different season openers. For the Nittany Lions, it was a disappointing start to a new era as they let an 11-point halftime lead evaporate before losing to Ohio 24-14. PSU quarterback Matt McGloin went 27-48 for 260 yards and two touchdowns, but his interception, one of three Penn State turnovers on the day, proved costly. It was Penn State’s first season-opening loss since 2001. On the other hand, Virginia rolled in its 2012 opener, beating FCS Richmond 43-19. UVA quarterback Michael Rocco threw for 311 yards and a touchdown against the Spiders. The Cavaliers racked up 545 yards of offense against the FCS team while the Nittany Lions managed just 352 yards against Ohio. PSU will look to avoid its first 0-2 start since the 2001 season. The absence of halfback Silas Redd, who left the team to transfer to Southern Cal, was noticeably felt as Penn State managed only 92 yards rushing against Ohio. The Nittany Lions may have to throw the ball 40-plus times again, as Virginia held Richmond to 28 yards rushing last Saturday.
Miami (1-0) @ No. 21 Kansas State (1-0), noon, FX
These two teams meet again after Kansas State’s 28-24 win in Miami last season. Both teams come into this year’s game after breakout games by their tailbacks in their respective season openers. KSU junior halfback John Hubert rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown in the Wildcats’ 51-9 win over Missouri State. For Miami, it was a freshman who burst onto the scene. Duke Johnson, a Miami native, had touchdown runs of 56 and 54 yards to rack up 135 yards on just seven carries in the Hurricanes’ 41-32 win at Boston College. KSU got off to a slow start against FCS Missouri State and only had a 16-9 lead going into the fourth quarter before taking over the game. While Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein is known for his legs, the junior may have a big game through the air, as Miami allowed Boston College to pass for 441 yards last Saturday. Nevertheless, both teams are more likely to rely on the run game after each rushed for more than 200 yards in their respective season opening wins. Miami has struggled on the road against ranked teams, losing 10 of its last 11 such games.
North Carolina (1-0) @ Wake Forest (1-0), 3:30 p.m., ESPN3
The Tarheels open up their conference schedule after an impressive 62-0 defeat of Elon to start the 2012 season. The 62 points were the most scored by UNC in 17 years, and the record came on the debut of new coach Larry Fedora. The Tarheels’ new no-huddle spread attack racked up 524 yards against the Phoenix while UNC’s new 4-2-5 defense was able to hold Elon to 128 yards while forcing four turnovers. Wake Forest didn’t look nearly as dominant as the Tarheels in its season opener, just managing to get by Liberty 20-17. The Demon Deacons trailed late in the third quarter, 14-7, before safety A.J. Marshall returned an interception 39 yards for a touchdown. The Flames outgained Wake 363-293. However, the Demon Deacons will look to build on wide receiver Michael Campanaro’s performance after the junior had 96 yards receiving and a touchdown against Elon. UNC defeated Wake 49-24 last season in Chapel Hill. Without the no-huddle offense the Demon Deacons will likely need more players to step up.
No. 16 Nebraska (1-0) @ UCLA (1-0), 7:30 p.m., Fox
The big story line in this game is going to be the return of Cornhusker quarterback Taylor Martinez to his home state. The junior will be looking to improve off one of the biggest games of his career last Saturday. Martinez threw for 354 yards and five touchdowns in the 49-20 victory over a good Southern Miss team. However, the Cornhuskers may be without star halfback Rex Burkhead, who suffered an MCL sprain in the opener. This likely means more pressure on the dual-threat Martinez. Jim Mora got off to a great start in his UCLA coaching debut, beating Rice 49-24 on the Owls’ home field. In his first career start, UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley went 21-28 for 202 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 68 yards and another score. Points may be easy to come by in this one as the two teams combined for 1,278 yards in their respective season openers. Nebraska leads the all-time series 6-4 and defeated UCLA 14-13 in 1995 in their last visit to Los Angeles.
No. 18 Oklahoma State (1-0) @ Arizona (1-0), 10:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network
This week will likely prove to be more of a test for the Cowboys than last Saturday, when they disintegrated Savannah State 84-0. Every starter for Oklahoma State was pulled by the end of the first quarter, and the team racked up 682 yards of offense against Savannah State. Junior halfback Joseph Randle, who rushed for 1,216 yards and 24 touchdowns last season, ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries against Savannah State. Freshman quarterback Wes Hunt completed all 11 of his pass attempts but will play his first college road game against a Wildcat team led by new coach Rich Rodriguez. Arizona just got by Toledo, 24-17, in overtime in its season debut. The score may be deceiving as the Wildcats piled up 624 yards of offense and had two touchdowns negated by penalties. Senior Wildcat quarterback Matt Hunt, taking over for Nick Foles, threw for 346 yards and two touchdowns while completing 30-46 of his pass attempts in the season opener. Arizona also appears to be in good shape at tailback after sophomore Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts in the win.
No. 13 Wisconsin (1-0) @ Oregon State (0-0), 4 p.m., FX
Wisconsin survived a scare in its season opener, hanging on to beat FCS opponent Northern Iowa 26-21 after holding a 26-7 lead early in the fourth quarter. Danny O’Brien, a transfer from Maryland, threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns in his Badger debut. This is the second straight season that Wisconsin has had a transfer start at quarterback. Last season it was Russell Wilson, now starting for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, who led the Badgers to their second straight Big Ten title. O’Brien and company continue their pursuit of three against an Oregon State team that still hasn’t played a game this season. Their 2012 opener against Nicholls State was canceled because NSU was unable to fly out of Louisiana due to Hurricane Isaac. There has been recent history between these two teams as last year in Madison, Wis., the Badgers battered a young Oregon State team 35-0. The Beavers are looking to improve on a forgettable 2011 season where they finished 3-9. Wisconsin is the highest-ranked nonconference opponent to play at Oregon State since 1977.
