RAMBLIN' RECK: Labor Day means football, of the college kind

Tom Reck Special to the Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — Labor Day is coming up and that means the start of the college football season for most teams on Saturday.

Indiana State will open at Penn State and the game will be carried live on the Big Ten Network. Rose-Hulman and DePauw renew an old rivalry with their game at Rose-Hulman.

The Indiana Hoosiers and Ball State meet in Lucas Oil Stadium in a night game, Purdue is at home to Middle Tennessee State and Notre Dame plays South Florida.

In other Indiana college openers, Albion is at Butler, Franklin goes to Valparaiso and Wabash is at Wooster.

In Thursday games, Anderson is at Taylor and Kentucky Wesleyan is at the University of Indinapolis.

Marian got off to a winning start by beating Olivet Nazarene 47-0 last week and is at Grand View this week.

Former players from Wabash Valley high schools are on the rosters of several of these teams.

In high school football, Terre Haute South, Linton, North Vermillion, Rockville and North Central are five teams going for 3-0 marks in Indiana on Friday, with the Braves hosting Vincennes.

The Miners are at Oakland City to face Wood Memorial and North Central will not be far away from there, playing at Tecumseh. Tecumseh beat Wood Memorial last week after losing to North Daviess and NC bested North Daviess last week.

Rockville is at South Putnam this week and North Vermillion is host to Covington.

Terre Haute North is 0-2 and Northview is 1-1. They will meet at Northview and that game could be a dandy.
