The wait is over. College football is finally here.
The August Saturday designated as “Week 0” can invoke feelings in college football fans similar to that of Christmas morning, and that’s the beauty of sports. But it’s not usually the Mid-American Conference suiting up on this day. Rather, the MAC is somewhat a stranger to the concept of college football’s annual Week 0, as no league member has participated in this exclusive week since Miami (OH) in 2004.
The Ohio Bobcats will be the first MAC team to launch their 2023 season in perhaps the most compelling game of Week 0 — a road trip across three time zones to battle the San Diego State Aztecs.
