College football Week 0 schedule: TV networks, announcer information as season kicks off

Week 0 is upon us and the college football season cranks up on Saturday with a host of games from around the world.

Two of the noteworthy games are Nebraska and Northwestern in Ireland, and Vanderbilt at Hawaii in the nightcap.

There are plenty of storylines around Scott Frost as he tries to coach himself off the hot seat at Nebraska.

Both teams were 3-9 last year. Nebraska hasn’t won since its 56-7 rout of Northwestern in Lincoln in October. Both teams are in the midst of six-game losing streaks.

Similarly, Vanderbilt is looking to get off to a good start in Hawaii. The Commodores went 2-10 in coach Clark Lea’s debut season. The Commodores have lost their last 7 games and are seeking their first win to start a season since 2018.
