Week 1 of the 2024 college football season continues today with a packed Thursday of action, including games for several HBCU teams playing against FBS opponents. In the MEAC, defending conference champion Howard kicks off the day hosting Rutgers, and Alcorn State — the favorite to win the SWAC West — wraps up the night with a road game at UAB.
One of the intriguing matchups on Thursday is Jackson State traveling to face Louisiana-Monore in a rematch of a meeting played three years ago, which the Warhawks won.
