College football is back, and it starts right here. Sacramento State travels to Eastern Michigan on Saturday, August 29th at 6:30 PM EDT for a Week 0 opener at Rynearson Stadium — a chance for both programs to set the tone before the rest of the country even takes the field.
There's something special about the first game. Every rep matters a little more. Every snap carries the weight of an entire offseason's work. For the Hornets, it's an opportunity to make a statement on the road. For the Eagles, it's about defending home turf and building early momentum in front of their own crowd.
Week 0 is a gift for college football fans — real football, under the lights, before anyone else gets to play. Don't sleep on this one.
