Week One of Can’t Miss College Football 2009

College football should be as exciting as ever this fall. Here is a look at the Top college games for the first week of 2009.

Week 1

Oregon Ducks @ Boise State Broncos

Thursday, September 3, 10:15pm, Bronco Stadium, Boise, Idaho

Oregon Preview

LeGarrette Blount ran for over 1000 yards in 2008 for the Ducks and will try to do the same in 2009. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli accounted for almost 2500 yards and 23 touchdowns to lead Oregon. On defense they return secondary standouts Walter Thurmond III, and a jacked-up style hitter in T.J. Ward.

Boise State Preview

The Smurf turf or Blue Turf should be kind to the Bronco offense and QB Kellen Moore. With three key returning players to a defense that was No. 3 in pass efficiency in 2008, Boise State will look to make some BCS noise. DE Ryan Winterswyk and CB Kyle Wilson are legit All-America candidates.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Virginia Tech Hokies

Saturday, September 5, 8pm, Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia

Alabama Preview

And the defense shall lead you. This will be the philosophy of the 2009 version of the Crimson Tide. DT Terrence Cody will lead the Alabama defense as they return nine starters. Good luck trying to run on this group! Keep moving the chains and throwing the ball to WR Julio Jones will be the focus of the Bama offense for 2009.

Va Tech Preview

Free Safety Kam Chancellor, OLB Cam Martin and DE Jason Worilds will be the key to defensive success for Va Tech as the Hokies return 7 starters. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be a threat to run and pass the football. Thousand yard rusher Darren Evans will provide Taylor with a partner to punish opposing teams.
