Kirk Herbstreit Warns College Football Fans About Overlooking One Team

Kirk Herbstreit and the ESPN "College GameDay" crew were back on the air on Saturday, previewing the Texas Longhorns versus Michigan Wolverines matchup in Ann Arbor.

Before Herbstreit shared his analysis for that primetime matchup, he shared his thoughts on the Tennessee Volunteers taking on the NC State Wolfpack.

While Herbstreit mentioned that he's a fan of Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava and said this Week 2 matchup may be his introduction to college football, he's warning fans not to sleep on the Wolfpack.

Herbstreit believes Iamaleava is walking into a difficult situation, having to play against a talented defensive mind like Dave Doeren.

The NC State Wolfpack struggled in Week 1, despite winning their game against Western Carolina, 38-21. They gave up 361 total yards and 6.1 yards per play.

Doeren has led some of the best college defenses throughout the past few seasons, helping NC State regularly soar around the Top 25 rankings.

Herbstreit seems to believe Tennessee and Iamaleava are immensely talented, but he thinks people need to watch this game with caution.

The game will kick off at noon ET with the Longhorns considered the betting favorites.
