Week 5 of the college football season is here, and it brings another loaded schedule of games on CBS Sports Network as conference play starts ramping up across the country. Two games are set for Friday, with three more on the docket for Saturday as the first week of October dawns on what has been a compelling season across the country thus far.
Up first on Friday evening will be Middle Tennessee hosting UTSA as the Blue Raiders try and follow last week’s upset of Miami by opening Conference USA play on a good note. Then, in a late-night Mountain West showdown, a much-improved UNLV squad hosts New Mexico at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Saturday’s triple-header starts at Army, where the Black Knights host winless Georgia State in a battle of teams seeking traction after tough starts. Then, in the afternoon, Fresno State returns to action following a bye week to play at UConn. Finally, Wyoming hosts San Jose State in the nightcap in a Mountain West battle.
