Liberty and Jacksonville State Clash in Exciting College Football Showdown
CBS Sports Network is home to three games in the Week 2 slate
The 2025 college football season continues this weekend with three live games on CBS Sports Network for Week 2, featuring conference clashes and an intriguing non-league matchup out west. The action kicks off with a Conference USA clash as Liberty travels to Jacksonville State – a meeting of the league’s two most recent champions.
The showdown begins in the early slate Saturday as the Gamecocks look to notch their first win of 2025 while also trying to make it back-to-back victories against the Flames.
Action continues in the afternoon as Navy hosts UAB in Annapolis, led by senior quarterback Blake Horvath, who faces a Blazers squad hoping to upset and begin 2-0 for the first time since the 2019 season.
The nightcap features UCLA hitting the road for a non-conference battle at UNLV against first-year coach Dan Mullen’s Rebels, already off to a 2-0 start this season.
CBS Sports Network will cover every game, providing viewing info, betting lines, and essential storylines to follow once Week 2 begins.

- Spread: Liberty -6.5 | Will the Flames cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 2 projections here
Reigning Conference USA champion Jacksonville State nearly pulled off a season-opening upset at UCF before giving up a touchdown in the closing moments. A bounce back against Liberty on Saturday would provide an early statement win for first-year coach Charles Kelly, but the Gamecocks enter as home underdogs at AmFirst Stadium. The Flames extend their season-opening win streak to six after defeating FCS Maine last weekend, aiming to carry that momentum into their first conference test of the year.
UAB at Navy

- Spread: Navy -21.5 | Will the Midshipmen cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 2 projections here
Can Navy make it three consecutive wins against UAB? Led by star quarterback Blake Horvath, the Midshipmen should be well-rested after sitting most of their starters in the second half of last week’s season-opener win against FCS VMI. On the other hand, Blazers quarterback Jalen Kitna, son of former NFL quarterback Jon Kitna, looks poised to enhance his strong performance after completing 18 of 23 attempts for 247 yards and two touchdowns in a win against FCS Alabama State.
UCLA at UNLV
- Date: Saturday, Sept. 6
- Time: 8 p.m.
- Location: Allegiant Stadium – Las Vegas, Nevada

- Spread: UCLA -2.5 | Will the Bruins cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 2 projections here
UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava makes his second start for the Bruins this Saturday as they head to UNLV. The five-star transfer had a shaky debut, completing 11 of 22 passes for 136 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 43-10 loss to Utah. The Rebels have already captured five interceptions through two games while tightening up defensively after conceding 31 points to FCS Idaho State in Week 0. UCLA aims to maintain its perfect record in the series, having won the previous two matchups.
