CBS Sports Network's continued coverage of the 2024 college football season features four games for the Week 6 slate, with the first weeknight game of the year ahead of a Saturday doubleheader.
The action kicked off Thursday with Sam Houston defeating UTEP 41-21 as the Bearkats won their fourth consecutive game. On Friday night, Kennesaw State hosts Jacksonville State in another Conference USA clash. The Owls are making their league debut after transitioning from the FCS in the offseason.
Saturday's slate kicks off at noon ET when UMass travels to Northern Illinois. Shortly after that, UConn hosts Temple, as the Huskies would like to keep their recent hot streak rolling. While most teams have had a bye week at this point, this will be the sixth straight game for the Owls, with this being their third road game in that span.
CBS Sports Network will be with you every step of the way once the Week 6 games begin. In the meantime, get caught up on viewing information, storylines, betting odds and more for each matchup.

If you aren't paying attention to the UConn football Renaissance, that's your own fault. Turns out UConn's basketball teams aren't the only ones that can drag opponents into submission. The Huskies are 3-1 since a season-opening loss to Maryland and have won their last two games -- against FBS opponents, mind you -- by an average of 39 points. The Huskies are on track to make a bowl game for the second time in three years under coach Jim Mora. Beating Temple would put them just two games away, at least.
