College football schedule today: Times, TV channels, live streams to watch Thursday night NCAA games

This week's Thursday night slate of college football is more crowded than past weeks with three games set to unfold.

James Madison (4-1) hosts Coastal Carolina (4-1) as two of the top teams in the Sun Belt clash. Sophomore quarterback Ethan Vasko threw for a season-high three touchdowns in Saturday's win for the Chanticleers. And Dukes quarterback Alonza Barnett III is two weeks removed rom a two-game stretch in which he totaled 13 touchdowns.

Middle Tennessee (1-4) and Louisiana Tech (1-3) look to steer their seasons back on track as they enter the thick of Conference USA play. The two foes have split the last six head-to-head matchups.

UTEP (0-5) eyes its first win of the year against Western Kentucky (3-2). The Hilltoppers nearly pulled off an upset last week against Boston College, but the Eagles scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to escape.

The Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to know about Thursday's college football schedule.
