Talk about a huge way to begin the season. The defending national champs trying to avenge their only 2012 loss against the Aggies and “Johnny Football.”
I can hardly wait, except it would mean that summer is nearly over, and we barely get summer in Chicago. High of 54 today. Football weather.
Here are the highlights of CBS college football schedule:
