Week 6 of college football is here, and CBS Sports Network is about to drop a full slate of mid-week action right into our laps. We’re talking six games over four days, starting Wednesday night, but Thursday is where the real desperation kicks in with Missouri State heading to Western Kentucky in a CUSA battle.
One-Win Wonders in a CUSA Basement Brawl
Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET, it’s Missouri State traveling to Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to face Western Kentucky. This isn’t just another conference game, folks, it’s a fight for survival. Both of these teams are sitting with just one win each, and neither has managed an FBS victory yet. You know what that means: they are absolutely clawing to keep those bowl game dreams flickering. Western Kentucky’s been on the road for four of their first five games, so they’ve got to be hoping some home-cooking helps them turn this rough start around. On the flip side, Missouri State has actually looked pretty tough, hanging right in there with teams like Marshall and SMU the last two weeks. If that’s a sign of things to come, this could be their moment for a midseason run. Western Kentucky is favored by 2.5 points, but in a game this desperate, anything can happen. You can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network, or stream it on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App.
Spartans on the Rise, Cowboys Stuck in Scoring Mud
Then on Friday night at 9:30 p.m. ET, we head out to the West Coast for a Mountain West showdown between Wyoming and San Jose State from CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California. The Spartans are riding high after getting back above .500 with a road win against Hawaii last week. They’re trying to keep pace with North Dakota State, New Mexico, and UNLV at the top of the conference, and this game at home is huge for them. But get this: Wyoming’s offense is in serious trouble. They are dead last, 135th in the entire nation, when it comes to scoring, averaging a pathetic 14.2 points per game. That’s rough, man. San Jose State is a 6-point favorite, and you have to think that struggling offense from Wyoming is a big reason why. Catch it on CBS Sports Network, CBSSports.com, or the CBS Sports App.
Conference Title Rematch and Service Academy Showdowns
Before all that, Wednesday night kicks off the mid-week madness at 7 p.m. ET with a Conference USA title game rematch: Jacksonville State vs. Kennesaw State. The Gamecocks took home the trophy last year, so you know Kennesaw State is looking for revenge. And don’t forget Saturday! It’s a tripleheader of service academy football. Army hosts Tulane at noon ET in West Point, a battle of two 2-2 teams in the American Conference. Then at 3:30 p.m. ET, Navy takes on Tulsa, with both teams desperate for their first win in AAC play. The nightcap at 7:30 p.m. ET brings Northern Illinois and Air Force together for their first meeting as Mountain West foes. It’s going to be a packed few days!
All these games are massive, from teams fighting for bowl eligibility to conference leaders trying to hold their ground. You don’t want to miss a second of this Week 6 action. Get ready for some wild finishes on CBS Sports Network!
