Week two of the college football season is quite a letdown after a loaded first weekend. Still, there are plenty of things to keep an eye on.BEST GAMEArkansas at No. 15 TCU. Not a lot from which to choose on the menu this week, but the Horned Frogs are considered a Big 12 contender and the Razorbacks aspire to push Alabama in the SEC West.Neither team looked capable of those lofty goals last week. Arkansas had a one-point victory against Louisiana Tech and TCU got into a scorefest with FCS South Dakota State before pulling away in the fourth quarter. Maybe both were looking ahead?The style matchup could provide some intrigue. Bret Bielemas Hogs, ideally, like to ground-and-pound. Gary Pattersons Frogs play fast and like to go deep.Subplot: The SEC got knocked around a little in week one. This is its best shot this week to get some bragging rights back.HEISMAN WATCHLouisville quarterback Lamar Jackson gets a Friday night spotlight game after accounting for eight touchdowns last week against Charlotte. Eight!In a season with lots of big stars, Jackson is a B-list Heisman contender for now. The next two weeks could get his name on the marquee.Syracuse is good spot to show off and get some momentum before Florida State comes to Louisville on Sept. 17. Two weeks after that the Cardinals go to Clemson. Knock off the `Noles or the Tigers (or both) and Jackson could jump to the front of the Heisman pack.NUMBERS TO KNOW11 -- The second-longest winning streak in the country belongs to San Diego State. The Aztecs streak is also the second-longest in school history. They won 21 in a row under the great Don Coryell from 1968-70. San Diego State faces California on Saturday and the Aztecs are seven-point favorites against the Pac-12 team.14 -- Number of tackles for loss allowed by Auburn, most in the nation. The Tigers play coach Gus Malzahns old team, Arkansas State. The Red Wolves had six tackles for loss in a loss to Toledo last week.16 -- Number of years it has been since Penn State and Pitt played. The Nittany Lions and Panthers renew a rivalry on Saturday in Pittsburgh that many Penn State supporters seem to view as more of a nuisance than an obligation.16.7 -- Average yards per pass attempt for Western Kentucky QB Mike White, best in the nation by more than three years. The Hilltoppers play No. 1 Alabama on Saturday.OFF THE RADARNew Mexico State hosts New Mexico in the 106th edition of the Rio Grande rivalry. The Lobos have won four straight after the Aggies had taken three straight. Overall, New Mexico holds a 70-31-5 lead.COACH IN NEED OF A WINKentuckys Mark Stoops started an important season with a deflating loss to Southern Mississippi last week. The Wildcats led by 25 in the first half and lost 44-35 at home. Now they visit Florida, trying to snap a 29-game losing streak to the Gators.It is the longest current losing streak (or winning streak, depending on your perspective) in an uninterrupted series and the fourth longest such streak in major college football history.Stoops has had three losing season at Kentucky so simply getting to six wins and bowl eligibility would be a step forward. Its going to be much tougher to get there now, though a $12 million buyout likely increases his security in Lexington. Eric Paschall Jersey .

PORTO, Portugal -- Nani seized the limelight in Cristiano Ronaldos absence with two goals as Portugal beat Gibraltar 5-0 in its first match as European champion on Thursday.The friendly in Porto was also Gibraltars first game since gaining membership of world footballs governing body, FIFA, in May ahead of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.And the tiny British overseas territory managed to restrict the sixth-ranked Portuguese to scoring just once in the first half, with Nani netting from Bruno Alves corner in the 27th minute.The Valencia winger was on target again 10 minutes into the second half with a header but it took Portugal until the 73rd to sstart to build a commanding score.dddddddddddd Within six minutes, Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, and Pepe all scored to put the game beyond sight for Gibraltar.The friendly against modest opposition in Porto was a far cry from the nervy night two months earlier when Portugal beat France in the European Championship final to collect its first major trophy.Ronaldo was forced off injured that July night in Paris and remained sidelined for this warmup game ahead of World Cup qualifying starting on Tuesday against Switzerland.
