With Week 1 approaching, the eyes of college football fans have gravitated towards Columbus, where Arch Manning is set to make the third start of his career against former five-star quarterback Julian Sayin and the defending national champions. If not there, then they’ve set their sights on Death Valley, where Heisman Trophy favorites Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier will square off on Saturday night.
However, they don’t have to wait until the weekend to see great QB play because one of the most underrated QB matchups of Week 1 and maybe the whole season is helping to kick the week off on Thursday night when Dylan Raiola and Nebraska meet Brendan Sorsby and Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, the home of the sport’s greatest quarterback.
