The sports network highlights Florida State's struggles, Lane Kiffin's game against his former team and other storylines for the week's slate.
ESPN has published a preview of Week 3 of the college football season, spotlighting several storylines including Florida State's outlook, a matchup billed as a "revenge game" for coach Lane Kiffin in Oxford, and other games the outlet says are worth monitoring.
According to ESPN, the preview addresses what it describes as a "bleak future" for Florida State's program, though the article's excerpt does not detail specific reasons cited for that characterization.
A central storyline highlighted by ESPN is Kiffin's return to Oxford, Mississippi, home of Ole Miss, where he previously served as head coach before departing for LSU. The preview frames the matchup as significant given Kiffin's history with the program.
ESPN's preview also references Alabama among the notable programs in action during the week, along with what the outlet calls "under-the-radar games" and teams it considers to be on "upset watch," though specific matchups and details were not fully outlined in the available excerpt.
