Thursday: Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic at Red Bank (N.J.) Catholic, 10 a.m. (scrimmage)
Bergen Catholic is led by class of 2016 four-star quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, who recently trimmed his list Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma and Alabama. It will be his first year as a full-time starters. Red Bank Catholic, the alma mater of Miami coach Al Golden, is led by outside linebacker/defensive end Jamie Gordinier, who is committed to the Hurricanes. There is talent in the junior class as well in four-star offensive lineman Liam Smith and safety prospect Eddie Hahn, who holds a North Carolina State offer.
Friday: Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha at Warminster (Pa.) Archbishop Wood, 7 p.m.
It is a nice neighboring state matchup as WB Wood is led by a pair of Penn State commits in offensive lineman Ryan Bates and linebacker Jake Cooper. Class of 2016 quarterback Tom Garlick is also a player to watch as he develops this season. One of his main targets is class of 2017 receiver Mark Webb, who already has an offer from Temple. DeMataha is loaded with prospects, led by Ohio State safety commit Tyler Green and class of 2016 defensive end and Penn State commit Shane Simmons. The Stags also have defensive end and Temple commit DeAndre Kelly in the 2015 class, class of 2016 offensive linemen Terrance Davis and J.P. Urquidez, both of whom have double digit offers, receivers Tino Ellis (multiple offers) and Darryle Turner, and running back Lorenzo Harrison, who has several offers. In the 2017 class, running back Anthony McFarland is the headliner.

Saturday: Cicero-North Syracuse (N.Y.) High at Christian Brothers Academy (N.Y.) at 10 a.m.(scrimmage)
CBA is led by junior quarterback Jack Brotzki, who earned a Syracuse offer during a summer camp. Brotzki is a transfer from Jamesville-DeWitt and there is not a lot of film on him available. This will be a great opportunity to see what he can do in person. CBA also features a pair of other division one prospects. Three-star senior offensive lineman and Boston College commit John Phillips will line up at tackle for the Brothers. Maybe the most intriguing prospect is sophomore wide receiver Noah Jordan-Williams. Like Brotzki, Jordan-Williams picked up an offer from Syracuse during a summer camp. Already over 6-feet tall, Jordan-Williams impressed with his smooth route running and solid hands. He figures to be a big target for Brotzki this season.

Thursday: Hampton (Va.) Phoebus at Gloucester (Va.) High at 7 p.m.
Players from Phoebus High School told the Daily Press in Newport News that they have some unfinished business this season. After winning four consecutive state titles, the Phantoms want to get back to winning ways after a two year championship drought. Phoebus returns big-time talent like 2016 cornerback Robbie Robinson, who holds double-digit offers including: Penn State, Clemson, Virginia, Michigan State and Wisconsin among others. Robinson will also try to be a menace on offense at wide receiver, as the Phantoms are looking to replace now Virginia Tech running back Marshawn Williams. Head coach Jeremy Blunt also returns a veteran offensive line anchored by Hokies commit Harry Lewis. Other guys we will be watching incudes Norfolk Christian transfer quarterback Jonathan Kraft and Florida transfer Elijah Nelson.

Friday: Newnan (Ga.) at Carrollton (Ga.) at 7:30 p.m.
There are two talented defensive backs in this game that will likely play against each other on the next level. The home team, Carrollton, is led by Georgia Tech commit, Dante Wigley. He is a long and rangy corner with ball skills. Some of the other prospects to watch on Carrollton are juniors, Jarvis Terrell (Running back) and Jarrell Rowe (Wide receiver), and sophomores, Case Cook (Defensive line) and Jamie Echols (Offensive line). North Carolina commit, J.K. Britt leads Newnan's squad into this game. Like Wigley, Britt is a solid three-star prospect on Scout. Junior linebacker, Emanuel Bridges is a Scout 300 inside linebacker prospect with offers from Alabama, Louisville, Ole Miss, and Nebraska among others.

Jamie Newberg, National Recruiting Analyst- Florida
Friday: Orlando (Fla.) Timber Creek vs. Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips at 7:30 p.m.
Timber Creek is led by one of the very best and most coveted offensive prospects in this 2015 class in running back Jacques Patrick. Patrick is an outstanding big back at 6-foot-2, 231-pounds. I mean this kid is a horse and so tough to handle. He's strong between the tackles and can move a pile. Patrick is also deceptive in the open field. He favors Florida State and Alabama and plans on making his college commitment on October 27th. Dr. Phillips will certainly have their hands full but they are very capable and always one of the top programs in central Florida. This group is talented in all classes. Quarterback Rudy Norwood is a D1 guy with offers from Temple, UAB, Georgia Southern and Western Michigan. On the other side of the ball, Vernon Walker is one of the better safeties in the state and could see his stock explode this fall. Junior linebacker Jonathan Pollack is active and everywhere for this defense. He's already committed to Mississippi State. Then you have a pair of outstanding sophomores in their class of 2017 in Calvin Ashley and Dylan Meeks. In fact, Ashley could very well challenge for the state's top overall prospect when it's all said and done. This offensive tackle already holds a slew of offers from teams like South Carolina, FSU, Auburn, Miami, Clemson and many others. Meeks is a defensive end with a big time future as well. Both did the impossible at Dr. Phillips last year… they started as freshman from day one.

Friday: New Bern (N.C.) at Havelock (N.C.) at 7 p.m.
This is a battle of two of the top programs in the state. The schools are less than 20 miles from each other and both come in 1-0. New Bern is led by senior Mike Hughes, who is one of the most dynamic prospects in North Carolina. Although he will play cornerback in college, Hughes is starting at quarterback for the second straight season. He finished his junior campaign with nearly 3,300 yards of offense and 42 total touchdowns. Hughes is down to Florida, North Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio State and South Carolina. Defensively, the Bears are led by senior middle linebacker Sha'mond Squires, who holds an offer from Charleston Southern and is attracting interest from other schools, as well as senior safety Cypress Borden. New Bern also features junior cornerback Tyric McCarter, who has a chance to be the next major prospect for the Bears. Offensively, Havelock is led by senior wide receiver and South Carolina commit Michael Bowman, who had nearly a 1,000 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns last year, and dynamic senior playmaker Matthew Boykin, who scored 17 touchdowns a year ago. The Rams also have wide receiver Kyran Bowman, who is one of the juniors in the state, and committed to North Carolina. Defensively, Havelock features junior five-star outside linebacker Keion Joyner, who is the No. 2 prospect in the 2016 class. Joyner's early list of favorites includes LSU, Auburn, North Carolina and Florida.

Geoff Vogt, Florida Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Palmetto (Fla.) at Venice (Fla) at 7:30 p.m.
Two of the better programs in Manatee and Sarasota Counties facing off to start the season. Palmetto is led by junior QB Jack Allison (Miami commit) and wide receivers Simon Williams, Dearius Washington, and Tanka Smith. Head Coach Dave Marino is 35-15 in his first four years at Palmetto and this version of the Tiger's seems poised to make a deep playoff run. Venice has averaged nine wins over the past seven years (made playoffs in each season) and are one of the most consistent programs in the state. The Indian's have size this year---lots of it----led by Miami verbal Tyler Gauthier, Kent State verbal Alex Hoag, and Jarrod Hewitt. Junior athlete Langston Provitt will be a key player as he is expected to line up at QB, WR, and DB this season.

Friday: Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb at Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett at 7:30 p.m.
Last week, North Gwinnett took down McEachern in an exciting, come-from-behind, last second win in the Corky Kell Classic. This week, they welcome North Cobb in their home opener. North Cobb four-star quarterback Tyler Queen has fully recovered from an elbow injury that held him out in spring. He's a solid Auburn commitment and big recruiter for the Tigers. Leading the North Gwinnett offense is quarterback John Urzua, who threw for 490-yards last week against McEachern. North Gwinnett has plenty of offensive stars, including five-star offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt. Hyatt is committed to Clemson. There's no shortage of solid pass-catchers for Urzua either. Senior receivers Daniel Imatorbhebhe (Missouri commit) and Almonzo Brown (Minnesota commit), as well as junior receiver Josh Imatorbhebhe, should all be strong offensive weapons for North Gwinnett. Plenty of big schools are already after Josh, including Michigan State, Ohio State, Missouri, Nebraska, and Vanderbilt. On defense, senior defensive end Anree Saint-Armour is one to watch. The three-star lineman has several offers including Ohio State, Tennessee, Missouri, and Louisville.

John Garcia, Regional Recruiting Analyst- Alabama
Friday: Lovejoy (Ga.) at Jonesboro (Ga.) Mundy's Mill at 7:30 p.m.
The player all eyes will be on in this one is Scout's No. 1 senior wide receiver and five-star Preston Williams. The Tennessee Volunteer pledge has done nothing but impress all offseason long, and he'll lead another talented Lovejoy roster into the 2014 season. The Wildcats defense is something to keep an eye on as well, with four-star Alabama safety pledge Montrell Custis, Williams and fellow senior Treveyion Custis patrolling the back-end. But offensively, Williams is joined by three-star wideout Tremaine Dillard, who is not only nearly as big as Williams at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, but has offers from Indiana, East Carolina and Marshall to his name. Up front, Atlanta NFTC standout Randy Robinson anchors the line. Fellow two-star prospect Darius Anderson does the same for Mundy's Mill, looking to kick off 2014 in the right way. The 6-foot, 270-pounder committed to East Carolina over the summer, where he projects as an offensive guard.

Friday: Washington (D.C.) St. John's College at Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy at 7:30
With the 2014 regular season set to kick into gear on Friday, Washington (D.C) St. John's College will be making their season debut in the Sunshine State against a Bradenton (Fla.) IMG squad who has over a dozen Division I prospects sprinkled throughout their roster. Leading the charge on the defensive side of the ball for the Cadets is Ayron Monroe, a 6-foot-2, 197-pound defensive back who's verbally committed to James Franklin and Penn State. He's aggressive in run support and projects best at safety, but could possibly play linebacker down the road as well. Eric Assoua, 6-foot-2, 215-pounds, is a three-star outside linebacker who's garnered offers from Boston College, Western Michigan and Toledo, but that should change during the fall. Scottie Washington is a big target at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds. He's the nation's No. 192 wide receiver on Scout.com with offers from the likes of Virginia, Nebraska and Boston College. An underclassman who has a chance to be special is Terrell Hall, an effective pass-rusher with a high ceiling at 6-foot-5, 225-pounds, Devante Brooks, 6-foot-6, 240-pounds, is a 2016 tight end with several Division I offers, but is out with a torn ACL. You might not find another offensive line across the country with more premier talent than the IMG Academy. Tyree St. Louis (Miami), Evan Mallory (Cincinnati), Mirko Jurkovic (Nebraska) and Miki Fifita (Oregon State) are all verbally committed to Division I programs and have terrific size for a group. Deondre Francois, the nation's No. 9 quarterback on Scout.com, can sling it with the best of them and is committed to Jimbo Fisher and Florida State. The Orlando native was stellar in week one and played mistake free football with no turnovers. Tavares Chase is a four-star wide receiver who transferred in over the offseason from Plant City (Fla.) High School. The 2016 standout should be able to choose any program in the nation two years from now on National Signing Day. The Ascenders have a battery ram at running back in Tony Jones, a 2016 prospect who measures in at 6-foot-1, 220-pounds. Florida is the team to beat early on for the four-star ball-carrier. Saivion Smith is an elite talent at cornerback who came down with two interceptions in his preseason game a week ago. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Smith has an elite set of offers and is the No. 11 cornerback in the country out of the 2016 class. Scott Patchan and Ryan Fines, a pair of three-star defensive lineman, are set to play their college ball in Coral Gables for the Miami Hurricanes and possess high motors in the trenches.

Thursday: Columbia (Fla.) at Gainesville (Fla.) at 7:30 p.m.
The Tigers of Columbia come in after an emotional last minute win last week against central Florida power West Orange. The games count now and the Tigers will lean on star running back Lonnie Underwood who has offers from the likes of USF, FIU, Akron and on the verge of more. Underwood put the ball in the end zone five times a week ago, only to have two of them called back. Linebacker Zedrick Woods is a hit machine currently committed to Mississippi. Malachi Jean is a 6-foot-2, 340 pound monster in the middle of the defense at tackle and holds offers from Cincinnati, East Carolina, FIU, and more. He has nice quickness for a huge man and makes plays. New on the scene is running back Kamario Bell who is a standout in the 2017 class. Gainesville will be an issue up front with defensive ends Calvin Brown who goes 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds and is a blur off the edge and boasts of offers from Cincinnati, FAU, NC State, Indiana, Purdue and others and 2016 star Jordan Giberti who goes 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds. Giberti also plays tight end for the Purple Hurricanes and has an offer from Utah and being looked at by Florida, Kentucky and others. Electric athlete Ahmad Ivey is still looking to get on the map and could play corner, slot, or running back at the next level.
Friday: Miami (Fla.) Westminster Christian at Harvest Community (Fla.)
Westminster Christian should come in as big favorites but have to travel six hours to Jacksonville for the game. Cornerback Tim Irvin can play several spots on the field. The four-star corner has offers from all over the planet and it appears Miami and Florida are the two teams most involved here. Running back Jordan Cronkrite is a load and a Miami commitment. Tobias Moss is a shifty receiver that holds an offer from Wisconsin among others as we head into the season.

Thursday: West Bloomfield (Mich.) vs. Dearborn at 1 p.m.
West Bloomfield has several recruited players including Bowling Green defensive tackle commit Eddy Wilson and cornerback Obbie Jackson, who has several MAC offers. Wide receiver Michael King is an exciting playmaker who has schools looking his way.
Thursday: Temperance (Mich.) Bedford vs. Dearborn (Mich.) Fordson at 4 p.m.
Fordson is lead by Central Michigan commit Jamil Sabbagh at receiver and defensive back and Ball State commit Abdallah Jaffal at linebacker.
Thursday: Plymouth (Mich.) at Salem (Mich.) at 7 p.m.
The Wildcats have Scout 300 junior offensive tackle Michael Jordan, who holds offers from Michigan and Ohio State and interest from several other BCS programs.
Friday: Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's vs. Southfield (Mich.) at 4 p.m.
A loaded contest will feature St. Mary's Scout 300 cornerback Tyson Smith, who is committed to Michigan State. The Eaglets also have two top 2017 prospects, wide receiver K.J. Hamler, who has Cincinnati and Michigan State offers, and linebacker Josh Ross, who has offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ohio State and more. Junior offensive lineman Cameron Kolwich is another to watch. Southfield has a loaded secondary which features Wake Forest commit Dior Johnson, Western Michigan commit Davontae Ginwright, Central Michigan commit Ja'Mar Antwine, and Minnesota commit Ray Buford. We are also looking forward to seeing talented 2016 running back Matt Falcon, a Scout 300 prospect primed to make a big move up the rankings this year.
Friday: Detroit Cass Tech vs. Oak Park (Mich.) at 7 p.m.
Cass Tech is, as usual, full of Division-1 talent. Michigan commit Mike Weber, a four-star running back leads the offense along with explosive 2017 receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, who holds offers from NC State, Penn State, Miami (Fla.) and others, and 2016 receiver Demetric Vance, who has an NC State offer. Two-way lineman Joshua Alabi is committed to Ohio State, and linebacker Michael Oliver is committed to Central Michigan. Michael Onwenu, a four-star junior, also plays on both sides of the line and has offers from Michigan, Ohio State and more. 2016 cornerback LaVert Hill has ten offers, including Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and more. 2017 cornerback Donovan Johnson looks like a future offer type. Jayru Campbell, a one-time Michigan State commit, lead the Technicians to two state titles at quarterback, but may play other positions this year. 2017 quarterback Rodney Hall is a talented kid who may inherit the reigns. In addition, a number of other potential D1 prospects are on the roster including linebacker Andre Gregory, defensive end Eldrick Matthews, and offensive tackle Ostell Martin. Oak Park is lead by John Kelly, who is down to Michigan State and Minnesota and could play running back, slot or defensive back in college. Western Michigan linebacker commit Junior McMullen is an outstanding player who is ranked in the top 15 prospects in the state. Central Michigan commit Shahid Bellamy leads the way on both lines along with Ricardo Smith.
Saturday: East English Village Prep vs. Lansing Sexton at 11 a.m.
EEVP has one of the top 2017 prospects in the Midwest, offensive lineman Emani Mason, who does not have any offers yet, but has schools like Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and others interested. Western Michigan commit Anton Curtis can play quarterback, receiver and defensive back. 2016 receiver Armani Posey should receive offers in time. We will also be keeping an eye on running back Leon Timmons, receiver Lindrell Mitchell and defensive end Kamahl March. Sexton is lead by big, physical running back and linebacker Avonte Bell, who has an offer from Western Michigan. Big, athletic receiver and linebacker Rayshawn Wilborn is committed to Central Michigan.
Saturday: Bloomfield Hills (Mich.) Brother Rice vs. Chicago (Ill.) Brother Rice at 4 p.m.
The Michigan Brother Rice is lead by Michigan commit Alex Malzone, a four-star quarterback. He has a couple of great targets to throw to in Grant Perry, who has several MAC offers, and is still on the radar of other program, and Western Michigan commit Delano Madison. On defense, Jack Dunaway had 15 sacks last year, and younger brother Carter Dunaway is a 6-foot-6 class of 2017 tight end to look out for. Marc Miller, a two-way lineman, holds several offers and may receive more this Fall. The Illinois Brother Rice has speedy Northern Illinois commit Marcus Jones at running back and slot, and outstanding 2017 receiver Ricky Smalling, who recently received his first offer from Virginia.

Thursday: Akron (Ohio) Firestone at Akron (Ohio) Hoban at 7 p.m.
Hoban features top sophomore runningback Todd Sibley, who is receiving early interest from Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and others. Junior Jonah Morris plays both wide receiver and safety, and is ready to hit the recruiting radar after an impressive summer camp performance at Ohio State.
Friday: Mayfield (Ohio) at Macedonia (Ohio) Nordonia at 7:30 p.m.
Nordonia is loaded with Division-I talent, including cornerback Denzel Ward who is committed to Ohio State, and Michigan State commit Justice Alexander, who plays defensive end. Both players are ranked as three-star prospects, and both could be in line to move up in the rankings. Senior Alex Alders plays wide receiver and safety, and he holds a few MAC offers. Cornerback Dylan Mabin and defensive end Nic Grayson also hold MAC offers, while quarterback David Murray is drawing interest.
Sunday: Gilman (Md.) at Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edward at 2:00 p.m.
ESPN will be televising this matchup between two powerhouse programs. Gilman features four 2016 prospects holding BCS offers. Four-star defensive tackle Ellison Jordan has been offered by Maryland, Georgia Tech, Michigan State and Virginia Tech. Three-star defensive end Devery Hamilton and offensive tackle Stephen Spanellis both hold offers from Maryland, Georgia Tech, Michigan State and South Carolina. Runningback Antonio Dupree has been offered by Ohio State, Michigan State and West Virginia. For St. Edward, this senior-laden squad has over ten players holding Division-I offers, including many that have made verbal commitments. Four-star athlete Shaun Crawford is one of Ohio's more electrifying players, and the Notre Dame commit plays cornerback and wide receiver. Four-star twin brothers David and Andrew Dowell recently de-committed from Northwestern, and are currently favoring Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Louisville. Quarterback Brett Kean has committed to South Florida, while wide receiver Alex Stump has pledged to Kentucky. On the defensive side of the football, linebackers Troy Henderson (Syracuse) and Troy Dipre (Kent State) are impact players. Junior wide receiver/defensive back Tony Butler has been offered by Toledo, and could be one of the state's top 2016 prospects.

Dave Berk, Ohio Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Fairfield (Ohio) vs. Cincinnati (Ohio) Withrow at Lockland Stadium at 7:00 p.m.
Lots of questions surrounding Withrow as they open the season under new head coach Ryan Drake who took over for Jim Place. The loss of 33 seniors from last year's team means we'll see a lot of young players on the field. Fairfield head coach Jason Krause will look to his son and Class of 2016 quarterback Hunter Krause to lead the offense. Krause will look for senior offensive lineman Richard Rhodes to protect him and open holes for sophomore running back Kesean Gamble. On defense the Indians have senior safeties Jason Graves and Brandon Mitchell to go with junior corner Mitchell Larsen. T.C. Wells is a name to remember as the 6-foot-2, 215-pound athlete will see time on both sides of the field.
Friday: West Chester (Ohio) Lakota West vs. Loveland (Ohio) at Yager Stadium at 6:00 p.m.
Leading the way for Lakota West head coach Larry Cox will be senior linebacker C.J. Stalker (Virginia pledge), offensive tackle George Asafo-Adjei (Kentucky), defensive end Donte Horton (Western Michigan) and wide receiver Braxton Neal (Cincinnati). However, the biggest question going into the season is at quarterback where Cox must replace the departed Malik Grove. Loveland head coach Fred Cranford will bring a confident team into the game after winning the Ohio Division II state championship last season. He'll look to senior offensive lineman Ian Leever (Miami Ohio) to open holes for senior running back Nate Slagel who as the Divisoin II Offensive Player of the Year despite the fact he missed the later part of the season after tearing his ACL in week eight. Slagel rushed for 1,340 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns a season ago. Sophomore running back Luke Waddell was also impressive last season as he rushed for 1,593 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. On defense Cranford will look to junior defensive lineman Jake Saunders who started all 15 games a season ago and is getting plenty of recruiting interest.
Friday: Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain vs. Cincinnati (Ohio) La Salle at Yager Stadium at 8:30 p.m.
Northwestern pledge Jordan Thompson is not expected to play (slight meniscus tear) for La Salle leaving a major gap along their defensive front. So look for head coach Nate Moore to have his offense ready to roll behind junior quarterback Nick Watson. Watson will look to receiver Kevin Ferguson and running back Jeremy Larkin to help carry the load against a young Colerain team that has three future college players on defense. Colerain head coach Tom Bolden will look for seniors Demetrius Colbert (Eastern Michigan), Mayne Williams (Ohio) and Jeffrey Christian to help an otherwise young team through a tough early schedule until the offense gets rolling as Bolden must find a replacement for departed quarterback Kelvin Cook (Miami Ohio). Early on look for senior running back Jordan Asberry to be the big name on offense.
Saturday: East St. Louis (Ill.) Senior at Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier at 3:00 p.m.
Lots of talent will be on the field for both teams in this marquee match-up. For East St. Louis, defensive end Terry Beckner holds offers from all over the country while defensive tackle Kenny Knight has already given his pledge to Ball State and running back Natereace Strong is set to sign with Missouri. Several underclassmen including 2017 wide receiver Jeff Thomas could cause St. Xavier problems. Leading the way for the Bombers will be Ohio State linebacker pledge Justin Hilliard who we expect to also see reps at running back. He'll be joined by Boston College pledge Ben Glines and fellow seniors Cole Jones and Simeon Lane. New names to watch for St. Xavier include juniors Brody Ketron (cornerback), Sean Prophit (safety) and rising sophomore quarterback Sean Clifford.
Saturday: Middletown (Ohio) Bishop Fenwick vs. Cincinnati Hills (Ohio) Christian Academy at Kings Stadium at 7:00 p.m.
All eyes will be on super junior Prince Sammons as the 6-foot-7, 262-pounder enters only his second year of organized football holding offers from Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and several others. Sammons will be joined by two-way senior lineman Jacob Halter (Penn pledge) and linebacker Bobby Mumma who posted more than 70 tackles a season ago. Fenwick will look to senior linebacker Billy Hinton (Wofford) in hopes of stopping the CHCA air attack.

Friday: Homewood Flossmoor (Ill.) vs Chicago (Ill.) Harlan at 7:30 p.m.
The top prospect in this one is junior offensive guard Desmond Bland out of Homewood-Flossmoor. The 6-foot-4, 255 pound prospect has an offer from North Carolina State and interest from around the Big Ten. HF also features senior tight end James Sheehan who is beginning to get some looks on the recruiting trail.
Sunday: St. Joseph Prep (Pa.) vs Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel at 12 p.m.
Two defending state champions meet in this one, the defending 7A Illinois state champions, Mount Carmel take on PIAA AAAA champions St. Joseph Prep. Mount Carmel will present a tough time for St. Joes in the trenches, with Syracuse commit and three-star offensive lineman Andrejas Duerig and defensive lineman Kevin Thurmon who recently picked up an offer from Wisconsin as well as interest from Minnesota, Illinois and several other Big Ten schools. Carmel lost several offensive powers like eventual Illinois running back Matt Domer this season so their offense must rebound in this one. Carmel also features defensive back Marquise Peggs who has offers from Western Michigan, Northern Illinois, Miami of Ohio and others.
Sunday: St. Ignatius (Ill.) vs Walter Payton Prep (Ill.) at 3 p.m.
The middle game of the IHSA kickoff Classic at Toyota park is two teams that have largely unknown rosters, but always have under the radar talent.
Sunday: St. Rita (Ill.) vs Chicago (Ill.) Simeon at 6 p.m.
St. Rita is a perennial powerhouse in the Chicago area and is rebuilding after losing quarterback Tommy Mister to Indiana, who was a dynamic force on the offense. Simeon is going to be led by two 6-foot-4, 250-plus pound offensive lineman prospect Kevin Agee and Terrell Maclin-Dupree. The two should provide a good night-cap on the IHSA Kickoff Classic at Toyota Park.

Friday: Moeller (Ohio) vs. Pickerington (Ohio) North at 7:30 p.m
The season starts off with the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown. Moeller travels to Columbus Crew Stadium to take on Pickerington North. Moeller is filled with Division 1 talent. Senior defensive tackle Elijah Taylor is committed to Notre Dame. His fellow senior tight end Doug Bates is a Cincinnati commit. Wide receiver Chase Pankey committed to Boston College during the summer. Tight end Jake Hausmann is the top junior in Ohio. With over a dozen offers from the likes of Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame, he is the player to watch. Pickerington North is a very young team this year. Leading the way for the Panthers is new quarterback Christian Whitner, who transferred from Pickerington (Ohio) Central. Lineman Kyle Beemiller will play on both sides of the ball.

Friday: Cathedral (Ind.) at Warren Central (Ind.) at 7 p.m.
Cathedral features three-star 6-foot-4, 255-pound offensive guard Jared Thomas, a Northwestern commit. Headlining the roster for Warren Central is undoubtedly three-star safety Mykelti Williams, who has offers from the likes of Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Purdue, Wake Forest and Wisconsin. He does not have any official visits currently scheduled at this time, though Ole Miss and Louisville are the favorites heading into the fall season. Last week against Center Grove, Williams had 14 tackles and an interception return for the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Running back Tirone Young holds an Illinois offer. In the 2016 class, defensive lineman Jasion Brogan has the potential to explode onto the national scene this year. In the 2017 class, Warren Central has an impressive dual-threat sophomore quarterback in Zach Summeier as well as two promising offensive linemen in Joshua Bridgford and Dominik Mathis. Dijon Anderson, a safety that will be featured on both sides of the ball for Warren Central, has plenty of upside as well.

Friday: Iowa City (Iowa) Regina at Solon (Iowa) at 7:30 p.m.
Regina takes the field for its season opener going for its 57th victory in a row, which would be an all-class state record. The Regals are led by quarterback Drew Cook, the son of head coach Marv Cook, a former tight end with Iowa and the New England Patriots. The young Cook committed to the Hawkeyes in late February. While there's speculation that he will switch to his father's position at the next level, he's been told by the Hawkeye staff that he will receive his first look under center. Drew spent the summer working with one of Iowa's all-time great signal callers in Chuck Long in hopes of raising his play as a senior. Solon wide receiver/defensive back Connor Ham is being evaluated by several D-I programs, including Iowa. He won the Class 3A 110-meter hurdles and 200 at the state track me in the spring.

Friday: LaGrange (Ill.) Lyons Township at Gurnee (Ill.) Warren at 7 p.m.
Illinois high school football kicks off this weekend with several top-tier games, one of which is taking place on the north side between Lyons Township, featuring Miami (OH) commit RB Leonard Ross and senior QB Tom Fiedler. Lyons aired it out often last season, and there's no reason to believe that with Fiedler at the helm, that they won't do the same again. For Warren, it all starts with Illinois commit Caleb Reams. The TE/H-Back poses an interesting matchup for most opponents with his smooth route running and great athleticism for his size. Freshman Micah Jones hasn't quite cracked the Varsity roster yet, but he's a guy who will be a force on the field before too long.

Thursday: Saginaw (Mich.) Arthur Hill at Saginaw (Mich.) Heritage at 7 p.m.
This game features the top prospect from Michigan and current Wolverine commit Brian Cole. The four-star prospect comes in at 6-foot-2, 210-pounds, and is a match up nightmare for opposing secondary's. Rated Scout.com's No. 6 wide receiver, Cole also excels at running back and safety. He is a big time player and this should be a nice opening night act for the Great Lakes' State standout. Arthur Hill's defense, which will be geared up to stop him, is lead by 2016 defensive end Lawrence Gordon and 2017 end Will Rodgers.
Saturday: Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius at Indianapolis (Ind.) Lawrence Central at 7 p.m.
This game features multiple future Division 1 athletes. The standout, of course, is future Wolverine linebacker commit Darrin Kirkland, who straps up for Lawrence Central. He is an ideal middle linebacker and has been committed to Michigan since the beginning of the summer. St. Ignatius counters with 2016 four-star offensive tackle Liam Eichenberg, who already holds offers from Michigan and Ohio State among others.

Thursday: Sherman (Texas) at Frisco (Texas) Lone Star at 7 p.m.
Lone Star is starting to crank out more Frisco D1 talent with each class and sophomore quarterback Jason Shelley is one of 16 players rated as a four-star prospect in the 2017 class from the Midlands region after a strong freshman campaign. Also will be keeping an eye on offensive lineman Charlie Grammel, a senior. Sherman is a team that is a traditional power on the TXHSFB scene and new coach Bill Patterson will be coaching his first game. Offensive lineman Aaron Garza is a three-star committed to Kansas. Gage Thomason was a Class of 2016 offensive lineman who caught our eye last year in a game against Sulphur Springs.
Friday: Lewisville (Texas) Hebron at Coppell (Texas) at 7:30 p.m.
This should be an intriguing game to kick the season off and like always Coppell is loaded with talent spread out all over the field. Running back and three-star Charles West has been one of the top offensive weapons for two seasons and enters the game with a lot of expectations. Three-star Connor Williams is one of the most heavily recruited uncommitted offensive lineman left on the board. Defensive back Jacob Murray is committed to Northwestern. For Hebron, offensive leader and Arkansas commit Zach Rogers will be back on the field after an ACL injury forced him to miss his junior year. One of the most powerful offensive linemen in the country, Rogers return could mean good things for Oregon State running back/linebacker commit Angelo Garbutt.
Saturday: Cedar Hill (Texas) vs. South Oak Cliff (Texas) at Kincaide Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
It is hard not to really get excited about a match-up between Cedar Hill and South Oak Cliff, which both myself and Scout co-analyst Gabe Brooks will be at on Saturday night. It's a game that will feature, by a quick in my head estimate, about 20 D1 prospects on the same field. Cedar Hill is coming back with a large portion of its team in place from a remarkable state championship run in 2013 and SOC had its best season in years last year, advancing deep in to the playoffs. This should be a remarkably entertaining game and while 'The Hill' is the more established of the two teams with the superior depth, SOC should not be slept on because position by position it should be able to stand the test. It should be especially fun to see potential match up like CB Darrell Miller vs. WR J.F. Thomas or WR DaMarkus Lodge vs. Jamile Johnson. Texas commit Jordan Stevenson is the most explosive and exciting running back in the Dallas area and his play could be instrumental if SOC is to pull the upset.

Thursday: Lee's Summit (Mo.) North at Kansas City (Mo.) Winnetonka at 7 p.m.
The major prospects of note in this showdown lie on the side of Winnetonka in athlete Marquise Doherty and safety Djimon Colbert. Doherty is a 2015 prospect that will play both football and baseball in college, recently narrowed his list of offers down to Kansas State, Iowa, Oregon, Missouri, and Louisville. He's being recruited as a defensive back by some, and running back by others. Colbert is a 2017 prospect that has already received significant interest from Missouri and Kansas, but has yet to rake in his first offer. He will be up for consideration as the top prospect in the state for his class. His time is coming.
Friday: Webb City (Mo.) at Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst at 7 p.m.
Athlete KiAnte Hardin and offensive tackle Dalton Ford are two major returning senior starters for Webb City and anchor their experienced roster. They both have several offers. Hardin's come at a variety of positions, including running back, wide receiver, safety, and cornerback. Ford picked up an offer this week from Arkansas State as well, adding it to a collection that also includes Syracuse and Illinois. Rockhurst boasts a very talented roster that includes 2015 prospects in quarterback T.J. Green (son of NFL quarterback Trent Green) and offensive tackle Charlie Heck (son of former Notre Dame all-american and current Kansas City Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck). Offensive guard Claudio Martin, offensive tackle Brendan McConnell, and running back A.J. Taylor are a trio of juniors that will also be holding scholarship offers this time next year..
Saturday: Jefferson City (Mo.) Helias at Hannibal (Mo.) at 6:30 p.m.
For Hannibal it is all about their junior prospects in defensive back Jerry McBride and offensive lineman Dylan Powell. Both have yet to rake in their first offer, but their time is coming. They're already hearing from an assortment of college programs. Helias' headliner is Alabama tight end commit Hale Hentges. He'll star on both sides of the ball, also contributing as a defensive end.

Thursday: Alvin (Tex.) Manvel at Spring (Tex.) Westfield at 7 p.m.
In the Houston area, the first game out of the gate should be a great one. Here this is a matchup of two teams that know how to win, and win big as both have gone deep in the playoffs for the past couple of seasons. On top of that, the two teams will field more than a dozen Division I players. With Manvel, both sides of the ball are loaded. The wide open, fast-paced offense has a talented leader in four-star athlete Deriq King, who saw his recruitment sky rocket over this past off season. King is joined in the backfield with running back D'Vaughn Pennamon and has a solid target out wide in Reggie Hemphill, another highly-regarded 2016 target. Gary Haynes is another bonafide playmaker who can break the game open at any given moment. Up front, lineman McKenzie Nworah and Austin Myers will work to keep King clean. Defensively, linebackers Shane Jackson, Collin Scott and Jordan Carmouche are all players college coaches like a lot, while UCLA defensive back commitment Will Lockett usually handles the opponents top receiver. Four-star junior safety Deontay Anderson, who holds double-digit offers, holds down the back side of the Manvel defense. On the Westfield side, it more of a line up and pound it type of offense, but this team can also get up the field in a hurry as well. With quarterback Dillon Sterling-Cole running the show, the offense has many more options, which includes newcomer receiver Tyrie Cleveland, a player who became a hot prospect during spring practices. As stated, it is the ground game that Westfield lives by and four-star Texas commitment Toby Weathersby leads this talented group along with TCU pledge Cordel Iwuagwu. Defensively, tackle Ed Oliver is a player to keep an eye on.
Friday: Houston (Tex.) Bellaire at Missouri City (Tex.) Elkins at 7 p.m.
As for the playmakers in this game, each team has a guy who can go the distance on any play. For Elkins, quarterback Jonathan Giles is the team¹s go-to guy. The Texas Tech commitment will play on the edge once on campus in Lubbock, Tex. For now, at quarterback, Giles has a receiver in Darren Woods who should have a breakout year and earn the offers that he has been working for. At running back, Darrick Dickerson will do the dirty work. Defensively, Houston linebacker commit Leroy Godfrey leads the way. On the Bellaire side, Trevon Smith runs the offense. But all eyes will be on junior receiver Courtney Lark, who pulled in a nice set of offers in the off season. Running back Xzaviar Campbell would love to show what he can do in his final season and defender Shellie Adams feels the same way.

Thursday: Irving (Texas) MacArthur at Garland (Texas) at 7 p.m.
The appetizer for a healthy kickoff weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex features two teams with some under-the-radar talent. Host Garland has an athletic 2015 safety in Luther Kirk, who could also see some time at quarterback. Kirk doesn't have any offers yet, but should see increasing interest with a strong season. He teams with 2015 defensive tackle Donovan Ransom, who committed in mid-June to Arkansas State. Irving MacArthur is home to 2015 defensive end T.J. King, a 6-foot-4, 225-pounder who committed in late July to Louisiana Tech, choosing the Bulldogs over an offer from UTSA.
Friday: Allen (Texas) vs. Denton (Texas) Guyer at 7:30 p.m., University of North Texas' Apogee Stadium in Denton
Allen is the two-time defending Class 5A Division I state champion, while Guyer is the two-time defending Class 4A Division I state champion. Thanks to February's realignment, both schools reside in the newly-formed Class 6A and feature loads of college talent. Allen's offense has Texas A&M 2015 four-star quarterback commit Kyler Murray, Oklahoma 2015 four-star tackle commit Bobby Evans, Texas A&M 2016 five-star tackle commit Greg Little, and Notre Dame 2015 receiver commit Jalen Guyton. Little is the No. 1 player in Scout's 2016 state rankings and No. 3 overall nationally. Defensively, Allen boasts 2016 four-star cornerback Jaylon Jones, who has offers from schools such as Arizona State, Baylor, Miami, Ole Miss, and TCU. Guyer features 2017 four-star quarterback Shawn Robinson, who already holds Nebraska and Texas offers, as well as Kansas 2015 defensive tackle Carl Thompson, Iowa State 2015 safety commit Jordan Wallace, and Texas State 2015 running back pledge Anthony Taylor, among a few other players with FBS offers. Nebraska 2015 quarterback commit Kevin Dillman was recently ruled ineligible by the state's governing body to play for Guyer this season after moving in the offseason from California. BigRedReport.com reported that Dillman will play for Guyer's JV.
Saturday: Dallas South Oak Cliff vs. Cedar Hill (Texas) at 7:30 p.m., Kincaide Stadium in Dallas
This game features about 20 players with FBS offers. South Oak Cliff has 13 players with at least one offer, thanks in part to Louisville offering 10 players on the same day during the spring. Four-star 2016 defensive end/outside linebacker Marvin Terry is probably SOC's top uncommitted player. Terry has 10 offers, including Arkansas, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, and UCLA, among others. SOC's committed seniors include running back Jordan Stevenson (Texas), safety Prentice McKinney (Notre Dame), safety Jamile Johnson (North Carolina), receiver J.F. Thomas (TCU), cornerback X'zavien Ausborne (Wisconsin), cornerback Takadrae Williams (Wisconsin), receiver Ladarryl Blair (Boise State), and receiver Lamont Johnson (SMU). But Cedar Hill, a defending state champion, is loaded, too. Committed seniors include five-star receiver DaMarkus Lodge (Texas A&M), running back Aca'cedric Ware (USC), quarterback Justin McMillan (LSU), linebacker Richard Moore (Texas A&M), and cornerback Darrell Miller (Tennessee). Receiver/cornerback Jaylon Jackson is a very athletic 2017 prospect who already has four stars from Scout. Receiver D'Aundrey Bradley is one of the state's best senior sleepers.

Thursday: Manvel (Texas) at Houston (Texas) Westfield at 7 p.m.
Where to begin? The talent for this match up is so stacked that there are over ten players with Division-I offers who will be on the field on Thursday night. Westfield's offensive line is anchored by Texas four-star commit Toby Weathersby and TCU three-star commit Cordel Iwauagwu. The defense features Scout's 15th-overall prospect for the 2016 class: defensive lineman Ed Oliver, whose extensive offer list includes Oklahoma, Texas, TCU, LSU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and UCLA. Also on the roster are 2016 receiver Tyrie Cleveland, who holds Kentucky, Texas A&M, TCU, and Louisville offers, and 2016 quarterback Dillon Sterling-Cole, who transferred to Westfield from West Orange-Stark. If that wasn't enough, let's take a look at Manvel's roster, which features two of the top prospects in the 2016 class: four-star receiver Reggie Hemphill, who holds offers including Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, UCLA, and Texas A&M, just to name a few, and four-star safety Deontay Anderson, who, in addition to the above, has also been offered by Alabama, Florida State, and Stanford. UCLA will also have a commit on the field in cornerback William Locket, and other 2015 prospects of note include linebacker Collin Scott (Air Force, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State offers), linebacker Shane Jackson (Memphis, New Mexico State offers), and athlete Gary Haynes (Houston, Louisiana - Lafayette offers). In addition to Hemphill and Anderson, there are five other 2016 prospects with offers: receiver Deriq King (UCLA, Texas Tech, Michigan State, Louisville, Clemson, and Baylor), linebacker Jordan Carmouche (Arkansas, Houston), defensive lineman Hasaun Glasgow (Louisville), offensive lineman Austin Myers (Clemson), and running back D'Vaughn Pennamon (Louisville, Washington State).
Friday: Missouri (Texas) Marshall vs Houston (Texas) Madison at 7 p.m. at Butler Stadium
There won't be as many recruits in this game, but the level of talent is still there with Marshall five-star athlete Kendall Sheffield, ranked as Scout's top cornerback nationally. Sheffield has been offered by dozens of programs around the country, including UCLA, Alabam, LSU, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Florida State, Oregon, and more, though the 6-foot, 180-pounder has managed to keep things close to the vest. Marshall offensive lineman Sam Awolope is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound Rice commit, and running back Davon Crookshank is committed to Wisconsin. 2016 receiver Jeremy Smith currently holds SMU and Michigan State offers.

Friday: Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman at Anaheim (Calif.) Servite at 7 p.m.
This game is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. Gorman is led offensively by UCLA commit Alize Jones, the most athletic tight end in the country who can really stretch the field. Wide out Cordell Broadus is another national recruit and also watch for sophomore transfer Tyjon Lindsey to be the teams big play receiver threat. Jackson Perry leads a big physical offensive line and Notre Dame commit Nicco Fertitta is one of the top safeties in the region. Servite is led by Oregon commit Travis Waller, one of the nation's top quarterbacks. He has plenty of options at receiver led by national recruit Equanimeous St. Brown and USC commit Clayton Johnston leads a physical offensive line. Defensively, the Friars are led by their secondary as Maurice Davison is a talented corner and Micah Croom should have a big impact at safety.
Saturday: Los Angeles (Calif.) Crenshaw vs. Long Beach (Calif.) Poly at Mission Viejo HS at 4 p.m.
Crenshaw has a young team but they always have athletes. Junior running back Andre Carter, younger brother of former all-city RB Raymond Carter, could develop in to one of the top backs in the state. Defensive lineman Khalil Jones is another junior to watch and was an all-state underclass selection a year ago. Junior Derek Moore is another athletic defensive end and is poised for a double digit sack season. Poly is loaded all over and could have their most talented teams in years. DB Iman Marshall is one of the nation's top corners and will see time at receiver as well. Defensive lineman Joseph Wicker can play inside or outside and defensive back Colin Samuel gives the Jackrabbits two of the biggest and most talented corners in the state. Josh Love is a smooth, efficient quarterback and junior receiver Jack Jones is one of the most explosive players in the state.
Saturday: Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei vs. Corona (Calif.) Centennial at Mission Viejo HS at 8 p.m.
The Monarchs are led by Ben Humphreys, one of the region's best two-way players, who is an impact player at linebacker/safety and receiver. Quarterback Jack Lowary is untested but talented and tight end Kyle Penniston, a Wisconsin commit, is one of the region's best at his position. Junior tackle Frank Martin is a national recruit along the offensive line and the defensive line is loaded led by Malik McMorris, Rasheed Williams and Olive Sagapolu. The Huskies have a great one-two punch at receiver led by California commit Greyson Bankhead and standout junior Javon McKinley. Also watch out for sophomore J.J. Taylor to have a breakout season at running back, receiver and returning kicks. Defensively, Oregon corner commit Jihree Stewart leads the secondary and fellow corner Gabreal Hughes will be one of the fastest players on the field.

Friday: Sacramento (Calif.) Grant at Sacramento (Calif.) Burbank at 5 p.m.
The Pacers are finally playing with experience again and they have the horses up front, namely three-star offensive tackle Darrin Paulo, who's top four includes Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington State, where his brother plays. Donovan Brown will run the Pacers offense after starting as a junior. Speaking of Washington State, they've taken some of the talent from Burbank, with Calvin Green and Ngalu Tapa gone from their 2013 squad and now playing for the Cougars. But there are two more Tapa's in the mix, Kavaliku and Aleki, who play on both lines and will open up holes for Harrison Anderson, who takes over the primary ball-carrier duties from Green.
Friday: Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha vs. Loomis (Calif.) Del Oro at 8 p.m.
Kamehameha comes to the mainland to take on the reigning CIF NorCal D-I Champions, Del Oro, who are hosting the five-game Honor Bowl. Kamehameha has Oregon commit Dylan Kane in their secondary, and Kane, one of the top overall athletes in Hawaii, will also play offense and Kamehameha will try to get the ball into his hands. BYU verbal Mika Tafua leads the defensive line for the Warriors. Preston Kalai, a cornerback for Kamehameha, helps Kane in the secondary. Del Oro suffered some graduation losses from their team that made it to the D-I Bowl Game. Junior receiver Tre Udoffia is Del Oro's top playmaker.
Saturday: Fresno (Calif.) Clovis North vs. Sparks (Nev.) Reed at Del Oro HS at 2 p.m.
The Broncos come in loaded with one of the Central Section's best teams and they have a pair of Pac-12 commits plus several other D-I prospects on their team. Scout 100 defensive tackle Jacob Daniel, a commit to USC, is the top defender on the Broncos, but a knee injury suffered last season could still keep him out for the opener. Bolu Olorunfunmi, a three-star running back committed to UCLA, heads into his third year as the starter in the backfield. Fullback Westin Hatcher, who leads the way for Bolu, is a Top 5 fullback in the West. Defensively, Bransin Johnson, Malachi Foote and Noruwa Obanor are a part of a secondary that has all three with D-I offers. Linebacker Hayden Haupt has a number of offers too. Reed, which has made it to the Nevada state finals two of the last three years, is hoping their second game goes better than last week's 66-13 loss to defending Arizona state champion Phoenix (Ariz.) Mountain Pointe.
Saturday: Santa Rosa (Calif.) Cardinal Newman vs. Churchill County (Nev.) at Del Oro HS at 5 p.m.
Churchill County lost in the state finals in Nevada last year, but hopes to start the 2014 season off right and they'll go as senior quarterback Joe Pyle takes them. Cardinal Newman saw Keaton Dunsford go on to prep school (where he's now a commit to Princeton) after running their offense the past two years, but Jordan Brookshire, a 2017 prospect, will take over the offense and he's one to watch the next three years.
Saturday: Concord (Calif.) Clayton Valley vs. Carson (Nev.) at Del Oro HS at 8 p.m.
Clayton Valley welcomes two newcomers this year, 2017 offensive lineman Jalen McKenzie and 2015 defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie. Kahlil just happens to be the No. 1 prospect in the country by Scout.com, a five-star committed to Tennessee. After playing last season at De La Salle, Kahlil transferred to Clayton Valley and he's still waiting for word from the CIF-North Coast Section on if he's immediately eligble or if he has to sit out for transfer reasons. Carson has quarterback Nolan Shine now running the offense after an all-league junior season at linebacker. Running back Colby Brown is now healthy and figures to carry the load for the Senators.

Thursday: Gilbert (Ariz.) High at Gilbert (Ariz.) Mesquite at 7 p.m.
At Gilbert, it all starts up front with monster offensive tackle Steve Miller. The 6-foot-5, 295 pound left tackle has already committed to Arizona State. He is a raw player with a high ceiling that already has improved ten fold since last season, his first playing football. Junior tackle Thayne Miller is hoping to follow in Miller's footsteps. Mesquite had a great 2013 season, surprising most with an 11-2 record. They too are strong in the trenches. Their top player is junior Roy Lopez. He transferred from Tempe Marcos de Niza where he was an all-section offensive guard.
Thursday: Chandler (Ariz.) at Peoria (Ariz.) Centennial at 7 p.m.
There will be seven players that currently have division-one scholarship offers on the field and that number could double by the end of the year. These are two of Arizona's best squads taking each other on in week one of the season. The team's have contrasting styles on offense, which makes this game interesting. Chandler is wide open and has a ton of speed. They are led by Arizona State commit, quarterback Bryce Perkins. Perkins has the most weapons on the state to get the ball to. Junior running back Chase Lucas along with receivers Justin Jan, N'keal Harry, Kolby Taylor, Terrell Flanigan and Danny Mahan make up the state's best receiving corp. Centennial is a run first team that has size upfront. Colorado commit Brett Tonz and junior guards Marshal Nathe and Steven Bailey pave the way for the 210 pound Dedrick Young.

Doug Kimmel, Mountain Recruiting Analyst
Thursday: Herriman (Utah) at South Jordan (Utah) Bingham at 7 p.m.
The top senior in this contest is Andre James, who committed to UCLA over a handful of top 25 programs at The Opening. James isn't only the best offensive tackle in the region, but one of the best linemen prospects in the country. He is a unique athlete that moves very well for his size and is also as strong as an ox. He is currently rated as the 12th best offensive tackle in the country. James will have his hands full as he goes against Bingham's tenacious defense. 2017 four-star defensive end, Langi Tuifua, kicked off the season with two sacks last week against Davis, and will be a tough match up for James. Tuifua committed to Utah over the summer, but will bring in plenty of offers between now and his senior year. Bingham also has three-star linebacker Daniel Langi and three-star kicker Chayden Johnston. Langi has offers from Nevada and Utah, while Johnston is committed to Utah. Kade Cloward, Cameron Smith, Harris LaChance, and Kalisi Moli are other prospects worth keeping an eye on.
Friday: Sandy (Utah) Jordan at Salt Lake City (Utah) East at 7 p.m.
This is could be one of the best games in Utah all year. Jordan is led by All-American quarterback, Austin Kafentzis, who has been committed to Wisconsin for over a year now. Game planning for Kafentzis has been a nightmare for opposing defenses, he has been lethal with his arm and legs over the past three years. East is one of the few teams in Utah that could be up for the task. Led by four-star linebacker and Stanford commit, Christian Folau, East has one of the most talented teams in Utah as usual. Folau is one of the most instinctive and hard hitting linebackers in the country, and he could be spying Kafentzis throughout the night. Nevada commit, Hausia Sekona could also factor into the containment of AK. Sekona is a talented defensive tackle, that has one of the best get-offs in the country. Lorenzo Manu is another senior for East worth keeping an eye on, last year he led the state with 11 interceptions, and already had one in the season opener. Manu is also playing QB for East this year. Lastly, three-star 2016 East defensive end/tight end Loa Kaufusi could be a huge factor in containing Kafentzis. Kaufusi has tremendous length and a great motor, once he adds one 30-40 pounds, he could be one of the best out West.

Friday: La Puente (Calif.) Bishop Amat at Santa Margarita (Calif.) at 7 p.m.
The Bishop Amat Lancers have two of the top junior prospects nationally in Tyler Vaughns, who is rated the nation's No. 4 wide receiver, and Trevon Sidney, who is rated as the nation's No. 3 cornerback. Vaughns claims scholarship offers from USC, UCLA, Washington State and Colorado State. He could make a decision at the end of his junior year. Sidney unofficially visited USC, Oregon and UCLA in the off season. He hopes to still visit Washington and Arizona and some point as well. Santa Margarita fields one of the nation top 2016 quarterbacks in K.J. Costello. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound signal caller was recently offered a scholarship by USC, giving Costello more than a dozen scholarships offers to date. The Eagles also feature 6-foot-5, 235-pound defensive end, Rick Wade, who committed to UCLA over several other Pac-12 schools in July.

Watch Dogs has the potential to beat GTA V?
Watch Dogs has the potential to beat GTA V?. My opinion is big YES, going by all the details i have seen in the latest Watch Dogs demo plus a full support of PS4 and next-gen Xbox, GTA V and Rockstar Games have to be at their BEST to come out on top this Holiday Season. We have listed below few facts about both GTA V and Watch Dogs. VOTE BELOW for you choice and also share you opinion in the comment section below.
Watch Dogs vs GTA V: Positive Signs for Ubisoft
On February 20, Ubisoft showcased brand new gameplay demo of Watch Dogs, it looked both astonishing and amazing. The demo that Ubisoft showed off displayed (first look) the technology that gamers will be able to witness on their new PS4 (even though it was running on a high-end PC with specification close to PS4).
Watch Dogs' environment, settings, surroundings and massive open world all looked perfect and incredible in the new demo. Our lead character, Aiden Pearce was shown doing cool things like hacking someones ATM pin number by just using cellphone and then going all-out to steal money via nearby cash-out.
Recently Rockstar Games discussed the possiblity of GTA game with futuristic setting, but guess what, the game is already here in the form of Ubisoft's Watch Dogs.
With Watch Dogs, Ubisoft took a bold move of redefining the definition of "Futuristic Setting" with respect to games. For them it no longer mean flying cars, aliens and all other over the top extras. Watch Dogs with futuristic setting means, gorgeous looking cities and surroudings controlled by major technologies, and gamers plying up information about any soul they encounter just by a tap on their mobile device.
In short, all the things we have seen so far about Watch Dogs leads only to two thing, firstly the game has the full potential to become one of the top notch game on both current as well as next-generation consoles, and secondly it possess all fan favourite gameplay element to beat GTA V.
Watch Dogs vs GTA V: Negative Signs for Ubisoft
No doubt Ubisoft took some sorts of inspiration from GTA series for Watch Dogs. So the biggest concern of gamers right now is, Watch Dogs may turn out to be less enjoyable and more repetitive than GTA series.
Furthermore, fans are expecting new dimensions from both Watch Dogs and next-generation consoles (PS4 and next-gen Xbox) such as much better A.I, bigger environments, better physics etc.
Lastly, If Rockstar Games decide to port GTAV as a launch title for PS4 and next-gen Xbox, things would really get more interesting between these two titles.

Good looking jeep, what are you running for on board air? Is it a A/C mod?
I'm using a York A/C unit from a Volvo, all parts were self-fabbed or scrounged with the exception of the serpentine belt pulley wheel and the oil/air separator.
Works very well although I will add a under-hood manual throttle lock to allow increase the idle while airing up. Currently it takes 1 -2 minutes per tire.
I have also collected sime low volume air-tools that can run off of it.
Hey Jon, nice jeep. I am currently working on a self York 210 a/c mod myself for an 05 4.0 w a/c.
I figured I could fab the bracket with a little welding time. However I am almost half way to spending as much as I should have to buy the dumb expensive Kilby system.
Could you give me some incite on how you made your bracket. I have the plate and holes down pretty good. I think it is the positioning of the alt bracket on the bottom. I am not leaving either enough room for the idle tension or something because I cant get the belt to clear. Pix would be great or some helpful hints.
Thanks for any help or advice.

See Amazing Photos of the Space Shuttle Enterprise Over New York City
New Yorkers who looked up into the sky on Friday were treated to something simply amazing. The Space Shuttle Enterprise rocketed past such iconic New York City landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center before coming in for a landing at JFK airport. Luckily, photographers caught the close encounter.
PlayStation vs. Xbox — Which Is Better?
In one corner, we have PlayStation, the video game console engineered by Sony that's currently in it's third evolution on top of its PSP, PS Vita and PlayStation Move installments. Along with game play, users can stream movies and TV shows through Netflix and Hulu, listen to music and more.

USS Indianapolis survivors react to ship being named
The announcement of a request to name the next Navy combat ship the USS Indianapolis received a standing ovation from those who survived the sinking of the ship in 1945.
The survivors were in town this weekend for the 68th reunion.
Only a quarter of the men made it off the USS Indianapolis in 1945 after she was attacked by a Japanese submarine during World War Two.
"I was in the service less than two years," said USS Indianapolis survivor Don McCall.
Of the nearly 1,200 crewmen aboard, 317 sailors survived. Only 38 are alive today.
Don McCall is 88-years-old.
"I think about the guys that didn't make it. Those are the guys. They call us heroes. They are heroes. They are still out there," said McCall.
Alongside his fellow survivors, McCall celebrated their 68th reunion this weekend right here in the city the famed navy cruiser was named after.
Saturday, these men learned there will be another USS Indianapolis.
On formal letterhead, signed by the secretary of the Navy, a request to Congress has been made to name the next Combat Ship the USS Indianapolis. Congress must first find the money and approve the combat ship.
"It just makes you swell up and cry," said survivor Don McCall.
"We were hoping for something. I had no idea," said Harold Bray.
"Everything about the USS Indianapolis and my father is emotional," said Honorary Survivor Earl Henry.
Earl Henry Junior, never met his father.
He was just 6-weeks old when the Senior Henry was the dentist abroad the USS Indianapolis. He was also a talented painter. The sailor drew this painting aboard the cruiser.

"Tied to the tail of the bleeding serpent is a tattered Japanese army flag. It would be incorrect politically to paint this today but not then in the pacific in august 1944," said Early Henry Jr, as he described the painting.
The junior Henry says he too is thrilled by the Secretary's announcement about the next combat ship to carry on the USS Indianapolis name. He plans to be there when it's commissioned.
The survivors told Eyewitness News, Rear Admiral Rick Williamson said the combat ship would be built in Michigan once Congress approves the plan and finds the money. It may be commissioned as early as 2015.

My version of a piña colada cocktail in a macaron! These were created for my partner who wanted a particularly special macaron, and as he is such a fan of piña coladas……
These are not too sweet; the pineapple and lime juice in the filling strike the right balance between the sweetness of the white chocolate and the shells.
Using desiccated coconut in the shells gives a shell that does give a taste of what the final macaron is supposed to represent, without affecting the texture and the finish of the macarons. I tend to use half coconut and half almonds which adds the right amount of coconut flavour. For a greater depth of flavour, gently dry-fry the coconut in a large pan for a few minutes until it turns golden-brown before blitzing it. The light sprinkling of coconut on top of each macaron turns wonderfully nutty as the macaron cooks.
A tablespoon or so of the toasted coconut can be added to the filling mixture but there is enough coconut flavour in the shells to bring it all together and I like the pineapple and the lime to be the stars of the filling. However, a gentle splash of rum in the filling works well.
I always end up making more filling than is needed for most recipes and while there should be more than enough filling here to sandwich together the macarons generously, any left-over filling can be frozen for using next time.
Alternatively, the left-over filling can be turned into chocolate truffles that taste as if they had come from an expensive chocolatier: pipe or spoon small blobs of the left-over filling onto a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Freeze for an hour or two until firmed up, dip into melted chocolate and leave on a sheet of greaseproof until the chocolate has set – this will be almost instant given the filling has come straight from the freezer. The filling will defrost in the chocolate casing, so as you eat one of the truffles the crisp chocolate gives way to a soft, fruity filling.
Pineapple and Coconut Macarons
makes about 70 1-inch shells ie) 35 sandwiched macarons
- 65g ground almonds
- 60g desiccated coconut
- 125g icing sugar
- 105g caster sugar
- 105g egg whites at room temperature yellow
- few drops of yellow food colouring (gel-based rather than water-based)
- 200g white chocolate, chopped into smallish chunks
- 100g pineapple, pureed
- juice of 1 lime
- 60g unsalted butter
- a couple tablespoons white rum, optional
- desiccated coconut
(1) Put the coconut into a food processor and pulse until powdery – this might take a minute or two. Add the icing sugar and almonds to the food processor and pulse for about 10 seconds until perfectly uniform. Sift into a large bowl and discard any larger lumps.
Notes: This process breaks down the dry ingredients to give a smoother macaron.
(2) In a clean, dry bowl whisk the egg whites and the caster sugar until you get a thick, glossy meringue. With a hand whisk this usually take me about 10 minutes. The meringue should have fairly firm peaks so when you lift the whisk out of it, the peak holds its shape and does not completely flop over.
Notes: I now opt for this French meringue method rather than the Italian meringue method purely because it is quicker than making a sugar syrup and using the thermometer etc, but I have had the same good results with the Italian meringue method.
Some recipes call for the egg whites to be aged. I don't bother to be honest; I just use the eggs that are to hand and get them to room temperature.
I do weigh out the egg whites – and find digital scales to be invaluable here. "3 large egg whites", say, can cover a large range in weights, and accuracy really is crucial for macarons.
I freeze any yolks that I am not going to use imminently and later use them to make crème patissière, to make pasta, to add to sauces and quiche fillings etc…
(3) Add the meringue to the dry mixture, along with a few drops of food colouring, and stir together gently, patting down the meringue into the dry mixture against the side of the bowl as you go, stopping as soon as most of dry mixture is no longer visible. The mixture will be fairly stiff at this point.
Notes: I use a rubber spatula for this which works well. The key here is not to beat it in, but also not to fold it too lightly as if making a soufflé. You want to try to knock some of the air out of the mixture which does seem counter-intuitive after making up the meringues, but too much air in the finished mixture can result in the macaron rising too much and cracking. By gently patting the mixture against the side of the bowl as you mix, enough of the air will be knocked out. This process should only take up to about half a minute.
(4) Continue to fold the mixture together gently until the mixture starts to loosen up. This is a critical part of the process – you don't want to over-loosen it: it is ready when you lift up the spatula and the mixture on the spatula slowly drops back into the bowl, leaving a trace on the surface. This trace should gently merge back into the mixture, disappearing within about 30 seconds.
Notes: This is arguably the most important part of the whole macaron-making process, (referred to as the macaronage stage in recipes). It is certainly better to under-mix rather than over-mix and the first few times of making macarons it can be hard to know precisely when you are just there or if you have gone over. Caution is very much the key here! While folding, the mixture changes from feeling fairly stiff to then feeling a little looser. Visually, the mixture will change from being slightly grainy-looking to looking smoother and silkier. It is at this looser stage that after every two subsequent folds (a bit precise but it does prevent over-mixing!) I lift the spatula a few inches above the main mix and judge how easily the mixture on the spatula falls back into the bowl. Initially it might just plop very slowly back into the bowl, and sit there doing very little on the top of the main mixture…at this stage it is not ready. So two more folds, then try again….Very soon it WILL get to the stage that when it drops back onto the main mixture it will disappear back into it, within about 30 seconds.
If you over-fold, the macarons will spread like mad when you pipe them and will probably collide into each other giving a very colourful but not very helpful meringuey-mess. Over-folding is also a common cause of cracked macarons and even if they do not crack, they are less likely to have the much-prized feet. If the macaron mixture is under-folded, the resulting macarons are likely to be lumpier, could also lack feet and are prone to being hollow. With macarons, if it is not one thing that will be hell-bent on destroying them, it will be another!
(5) Put non-stick greaseproof paper/parchment onto solid baking trays. Pipe the required size of macarons onto the paper and add a light sprinkling of coconut to the top of each.
Notes: I use a 1cm plain nozzle, making sure there are no large air bubbles in the piping bag and I just pipe vertically onto the paper until I get the size I want, leaving a gap of about 1cm between each. Drawing circles onto the paper can be helpful here. Some favour piping "at an angle", but vertically works for me.
I have rarely had great results with silicone sheets or anything other than greaseproof to be honest. I don't use the silicon macaron moulds that are now widely available. Granted, they do give perfectly uniformly sized macarons, but they can stick even if the mould is lightly oiled and they seem to need a much longer baking time, so that the trade-off for them coming out of the moulds is slightly over-baked macarons.
(6) Lift each baking sheet a few inches off the work surface and drop this flat onto the work surface several times.
Notes: This will get rid of the larger air bubbles that will invariably still be in the macarons. Large air bubbles can cause the macaron to crack in the oven or result in hollow macarons. Normally half a dozen drops does the trick. It is natural for the piped macarons to spread out a little but they shouldn't run into themselves. You may well see air bubbles form on the surface – some will automatically burst and then the tops become smooth but if there are visible air bubbles that form and do not burst, just prick them gently.
(7) Leave the macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until a very thin skin forms on the surface. During this time preheat the oven to 150°C (fan). I find the macarons bake best with the fan on.
Notes: I have found the resting period to be another very important part of the process although I know that some people have had great success without the resting. However, whenever I have rested the mixture, I always get nice feet to each macaron whereas if I have baked some without them having been resting, the feet are much less forthcoming. In fact, I never failed to get decent feet after resting whereas without resting things are unpredictable. I think the skin must act as a protective layer to the macaron and in the heat of the oven, it causes the macaron to push upwards, thereby creating the foot.
The skin: although you can't see a skin, after about 30 minutes gently touch one of the macarons and remove your finger. If your finger removes easily and the indent vanishes then there is a skin and the macarons are ready for baking. If your finger sticks to the macaron then a skin has not formed enough so leave it for another 15-30 mins or so and repeat until you have a skin.
(8) Bake the macarons for about 14 minutes, rotating the trays after 10 minutes.Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the trays before removing carefully.
Notes: As each oven is different, as with most baking it is important to get to know your oven as to the positioning of the shelves. Even with a fan-assisted oven, the temperature is not likely to be constant throughout the oven. For my oven, the macarons bake best when lower down and I never put more than two shelves of macroons in the over at a time. Too many can create a build-up of steam in the oven which, in turn, is another thing sent from somewhere wicked to destroy all the loving attention to detail already put into the macarons by this stage!
With 1 inch macarons I find that 14 minutes in total is about right but on occasion I have had to bake them for several minutes longer. To test, I gently wiggle the top of one of the macarons. If it is too sticky at the feet and looks as if the top will pull straight off I bake for another couple of minutes, and another couple of minutes is normally enough.
I am very strict with myself now in leaving the macarons to cool on the trays, although temptation often gets the better of me! But leaving them to cool on the tray helps the base crust form fully which in turn makes it easier to peel the macarons off the paper.
(9) For the fruit filling, melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water or very gently in the microwave. Stir in the butter until it has melted and mix in the pureed pineapple, the lime juice and the rum (if using). Leave in the fridge until the mixture has set to piping consistency. Pipe the filling over half of the macaron shells and sandwich together gently with the other half.
Notes: You don't need to pipe the filling, of course, as gentle dollops of it will do. But I find piping to be therapeutic and the macarons deserve it! The filling can be changed in any number of ways, of course, by using any fruit puree or even just lime or lemon juice. Sometimes I add a little more fruit puree – the mixture will still set in the fridge until it is the right consistency. Occasionally I will use a home-made jam or a well-flavoured butter-cream in the filling.
After sandwiching the macarons together, I will invariably eat a few of them – the temptation is far too great! However, I do find that popping the macarons carefully into an airtight box and leaving in the fridge for a day helps enormously with the texture. Even if the macarons have been over-baked and were a little too crispy, when they get filled and have a day's rest in the fridge, the shell will soften somewhat and give the right texture.

Need unbiased help on finishing basement - Dry wall or panel system?
I never thought that refinishing my basement would have so many headaches. Trying to refinish ~60% of a 900 sq/ft basement for a living area.
Brief history of basement - there was past mold that was professionally remediation. It is completely gutted now. Basement does not flood but humidity was ~85%, with dehumid we now have it at 50%. Also looks like there are a few areas of water intrusion from foundation cracks, window sills, and poor gutter configuration etc.
I have had several contractors and basement system companies by for quote and they ALL recommend different things. Some say get a french drain some say dont, some say apply a seal coat or vapor shield, some dont.
My main question is if putting up a traditional dry wall basement is just silly or if it would be OK with french drain, vapor barrier, dehumid, and addressing mason work and gutter draining exteriorly? Obviously the panel system people all say this is stupid and I need a nonorganic etc system, but the price is almost triple.
Are they playing on my fears or are they correct?
Thanks in advance.
panel systems work by allowing removal in flood situations and are build with materials not affected by moisture. Drywall systems can work, but must be done correctly. 90% are not and this is why these expensive systems are out there. You need to allow the wall to dry. Vapor barriers are old school and will not work. Moisture in a below ground area needs to move both to the outside and to the inside. Different flow in winter than in the summer. Leave a 1/2" to 1" gap between the wall and the drywall wall. Use mold resistant drywall. No vapor barrier (repeated on purpose) Sold foam insulation against the outer wall. Metal studs are much better than wood studs. Spray foam is the best if you can afford it. Where are you located? In extreme cold environments you should use a vapor barrier, no other climates.
Thanks for reply. Helpful advice. Located in Boston area so we can get some cold winters.
I'm sold on the french drain system, pump, dehumid, and some sort of seal coat on the floor and walls. I think I have heard enough recommendations to NOT use the vapor barrier so I dont think I will. Also going to address windows, foundation, grading, and gutter systems.
Would prefer drywall for cost and cosmetics. 3 different contractors all stated they would use blue board, I asked why not green board and they all said blue board would work just as well. Does this sound right?
I guess I just dont want to spend $20,000 and have this all great ruined within 5 years. I dont know anyone that has a basement system, everyone has drywall, feel like they are all salesman and trying to scare me into an expensive system.
I am at this juncture in my basement project. I have brand new drain tile system and embedded steel supports on three basement walls. The room is studded and I am likely going with regular old faced insulation, green board or the like on the lower portion and then drywall the rest of the way up. I have extra vapor space due to the supports/had to stud inside perimeter so there's a good 4 extra inches between wall and stud, then 4 more between support and wall. Will look for further feedback as I am not convince that I need to insulate.
Greenboard was a failed try to offer mold resistant drywall. It is not used any more. Insulation is required by building code since once you cover the walls with drywall or such it becomes a finished living space. So insulation is a requirement. Also in a basement properly sized egress via a window or door is required beyond the door at the stairwell to enter the area.
Be sure to use foam insulation along the rim joists. 10% of your homes energy leak is at this juncture.
The drain system is a good plan since you stated existing wet conditions.
iirc, ambient earth temp's in the 65 - 68f range,,, eventually that will creep into the living area despite insulation which only makes the movement of heat/cold,,, true, you'll only have to heat this area a few degrees but include some heat delivery system when finishing,,, my $0.03 :yes:
french drain if needed
egress window a must
2-3" foam insulation directly to the outside wall.
2X3 metal stud walls built on top of pink rolled insulation.
blue board the bottom run then regular rock on top of that.
sound board and if you want, insulate the ceiling
have an access soffit around the perimeter of the room ( really comes in handy as things and technology change) and rock the rest of the ceiling

December has been a busy month. If you've been anything like me, you've hardly had time to take a breath. Now that Christmas is finished, and the cold wind is blowing, I start dreaming.
Dreaming of a nice vacation.
The funny thing is, I wouldn't even choose somewhere warm. Mexico or the Bahamas would be nice, of course. But when I think of a vacation, the first thing that comes to mind is a posh, deluxe hotel room.
Something that looks like this:
Yes. A big comfy bed. A big stack of books. Some snacks. And QUIET.
And here's a confession for you:
I wouldn't bring anyone with me. Not even my husband.
Well, maybe my husband could come after a couple of days. We could go out for a nice dinner. And then the kids could come a couple days after that. Because fancy hotels always have fun pools.
But those first couple days? They would be ALL MINE. I could do what I want. Watch what I want. Eat what I want. Sleep when I want.
Aaaah. Vacation.
What would be your vacation choice?

Attendance: 113,833
Next U-M Game: Saturday, Oct. 27 -- at Nebraska (Lincoln, Neb.), 7 p.m. CDT
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Senior/junior kicker Brendan Gibbons (West Palm Beach, Fla./Cardinal Newman) converted his third field goal of the game, from 38 yards with five seconds left in the contest, to give the University of Michigan football team (No. 23 AP/No. 25 USA Today Coaches) its first win over rival Michigan State in five years, 12-10, on Saturday (Oct. 20) at Michigan Stadium. The victory marked the 900th in Michigan football history.
For the fifth consecutive game, the Michigan defense held its opponent to 13 points or less. Leading the squad were junior/sophomore linebacker Jake Ryan (Westlake, Ohio/St. Ignatius), who tallied 10 tackles with a sack and a forced fumble, and sophomore linebacker Desmond Morgan (Holland, Mich./West Ottawa), who garnered 11 takedowns.
Senior quarterback Denard Robinson (Deerfield Beach, Fla./Deerfield Beach) led the offense, compiling 163 yards through the air to complement his 96 yards rushing. Senior/junior running back Fitzgerald Toussaint (Youngstown, Ohio/Liberty) added 52 yards on the ground, while junior receiver Drew Dileo (Greenwell Springs, La./Parkview Baptist) hauled in career highs with four passes for 92 yards.
Michigan State took the ball to begin the game but could not find any footing offensively, beginning a scoreless quarter of ball exchanges. Throughout the first 15 minutes, both teams combined for a total of three first downs and five punts. Michigan gained 52 yards and MSU compiled 43 yards in the first quarter.
To start the second quarter, the Wolverines moved the ball down the field with the help of two receptions from Dileo for 37 yards and a season-long 38-yard run by Toussaint. The drive ended with a 24-yard field goal from Gibbons to give Michigan a 3-0 lead.
On the following Spartans' possession, quarterback Andrew Maxwell connected with receiver Bennie Fowler for a 45-yard pickup into Michigan territory. However, the drive ended when kicker Dan Conroy missed from 38 yards out with five minutes to go in the half.
With less than two minutes in the second quarter, Robinson connected with Dileo for a 35-yard gain. From 48 yards out, sophomore kicker Matt Wile (San Diego, Calif./Francis Parker) hit his first career field goal, giving Michigan a 6-0 advantage heading into the locker room.
During the opening possession of the second half, Michigan was forced to punt for the fourth time in the game. The Spartans marched down the field and found the end zone on a two-yard Maxwell pass to tight end Paul Lang, making the score 7-6.
Late in the third quarter, fifth-year senior safety Jordan Kovacs (Curtice, Ohio/Clay) intercepted a Maxwell pass for the first Michigan State turnover of the game. With 13:37 left in the contest, Gibbons added his second field goal of the game, from 21 yards, to reclaim a Michigan lead, 9-7.
On the following Michigan State possession, punter Mike Sadler took a fake punt and ran for 26 yards and a first down, fueling a 90-yard MSU drive that ended with a Conroy 19-yard field goal, giving the Spartans a 10-9 lead with 5:48 remaining in the game.
The Wolverines responded with a 44-yard Robinson scramble to the MSU 31-yard line. However, a holding call and a failed third-down conversion forced Michigan to punt the ball away with 3:07 left.
After forcing a Michigan State three-and-out, the Maize and Blue received the ball with two minutes to play and began marching back down the field. With nine seconds to go in the game, Gibbons knocked through a 38-yard field goal to solidify the Michigan victory.
Michigan travels to Lincoln, Neb., next Saturday (Oct. 27) to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7 p.m. CDT on ESPN2.
