Well, last week was not ideal for the members of the MAC, as they went a combined 2-8 in non-conference games, with two losses to FCS squads included.

The good news is that Saturday presents a new opportunity to move on and try to re-start the old momentum again, with 12 new contests to look forward to as a fan of the #MACtion. Once again, games will kickoff from around 1 p.m. Eastern all the way into the very late evening, with a 10:30 p.m. kickoff in Arizona, giving us the ultra-rare five-window evening.

We’ve collected all the information you need to watch the MAC in action below:
