College Football Week 2

Miami's offense produced a record-setting onslaught in its home opener, piling up 856 yards and 42 first downs in a 77-7 rout of Florida A&M. The Hurricanes' yardage total stands among the most prolific single-game outputs in program history.

The weekend's marquee matchup is a Texas-Ohio State sequel, with Michigan's quarterback problems running deep entering Week. The Buckeyes, who bowed out of the playoff early last season, say they weren't battle tested before, and that is about to change. The Big Ten-SEC challenge headlines the Week 2 slate, giving bluebloods an early shot at the season's biggest win while the Big 12 and SEC stage conference challenges and the Group of Six faces an elimination weekend.

Boston College will wear its "Red Bandanna" uniforms on Friday, one of college football's most meaningful tributes, carrying even more emotion than usual as it leads the best looks of Week.
