No. 1 Texas vs. Louisiana-Monroe

Fresh off overtaking the No. 1 ranking in the country, Texas (3-0) will take the field against the UL Monroe Warhawks (2-0). The Longhorns will be without star junior quarterback Quinn Ewers, who is recovering from an oblique injury. The reins are temporarily handed over to football legacy and freshman phenom Arch Manning. It's Manning's first collegiate start.

The Warhawks have tallied dominant wins over Jackson State and UAB. Guided by former Oklahoma quarterback General Booty, the Warhawks strength is in their rushing attack, which has run for over 200 yards in both of their contests. Freshman running back Ahmad Hardy has 33 carries for 161 yards and two touchdowns.

No. 25 Texas A&M vs. Bowling Green

The Aggies (2-1, 1-0 SEC) return home to Kyle Field after a big win in "The Swamp" against Florida. They'll sharpen their skills against MAC foe Bowling Green (1-1).

Texas A&M led Florida 20-0 at halftime and by as many 26 points. With starting quarterback Connor Weigman sidelined with a shoulder injury, Aggies freshman Marcel Reed dazzled in his debut, finishing 11-of-17 for 178 yards and two touchdowns.

Junior running back Le'Veon Moss has amassed 47 carries for 264 yards and three touchdowns in three games.

Bowling Green (1-1) nearly knocked off No. 10 Penn State two weeks ago. After a week off, they will have their work cut out for them in another tough draw down south.

The Falcons are led by former Missouri quarterback Connor Bazelak. The senior has amassed 422 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Junior tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has shredded the two defenses with 17 receptions for 204 yards and one touchdown.
