IT'S BACK! Wednesday Night College Football Open Thread

The long torment is over.

FBS is back tonight as Georgia State takes on Abilene Christian at 7 ET (ESPNU).

Georgia State favored by 5 over an FCS team after an 0-12 season last year.

It's Sun Belt versus Southland so perhaps it gets a pass, but in most other conferences, having pass defenses the likes of either Abilene Christian or Georgia State would be more or less fatal. That, and both teams are remarkably good and converting 3rd downs, but mostly because the other team is not very good at turning them away.

I'm not sure if Georgia state fans exist, but this game would be nerve racking for them. All the dumb penalties and then they pick up both fourth downs on this drive. It will probably come down to a long field goal.

Is it a fair statement if we say that both teams did everything in their power to lose this game, but in the end, it seems like Abilene Christian just tried that much harder in the end? That is, of course, if Georgia State makes this relatively innocuous chipshot.
