    Pat McAfee Names The Game He's 'Most Excited' For During Week 1

    By Cole Sullivan,

    ESPN College GameDay analyst Pat McAfee named the game he was most excited for during Week 1 of the College Football season.

    College GameDay is in College Station. Saturday morning ahead of the primetime matchup between Notre Dame and Texas A&M , and in what many believe to be the best game of the weekend. However, McAfee does not.

    "You know what I'm excited for? I'm excited for that one in Vegas. USC, LSU, a whole new era for both teams." McAfee said.

    Sunday night's matchup between LSU and USC will be electric from all facets. Two quarterbacks and high-powered offenses that cycle in skill position talent.

    However, it will also be extremely important to get off to the right start to the season, and both teams are debuting new quarterbacks whose only starts came in the teams bowl games last season.

    Garrett Nussmeier has been waiting for his opportunity for years, and last season when he appeared against Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl, he threw for 395 yards, three touchdowns, and maintained a 160.2 passer rating.

    While Miller Moss for Southern California started the Direct TV Holiday Bowl and had an historic performance. Throwing for 372 yards, six touchdowns, and had a 218.3 passer rating.

    Both quarterbacks have offensive-minded head coaches in their ears, and it should pave the way for a massive matchup on Sunday night in Las Vegas.
