Predictions! SDSU, USD, Augie, USF & prep "Thirsty Thursday Football Forecast" with Trent Singer

Let the games begin!   Finally, the Jackrabbits, Coyotes, Vikings, Cougars and all the Sioux Falls area 11-man high school teams are kicking off their seasons.   This means the second season of Happy Hour's "Thirsty Thursday Football Forecast" kicks off. The Happy Hour host and Sioux Falls Live sportswriter Trent Singer dive into the matchups and "what to watch" for the games involving our local college and prep squads.   While No. 3 SDSU (-47.5 vs. Stetson) and No. 12 USD (-23.5 vs. Central Connecticut State) are heavy favorites to roll at home in their openers, there's plenty of intrigue regarding what both the Jacks and Yotes will look like after fans and media have spent the eight nine months talking and writing about them.   Which players are we most excited to see? How will the quarterbacks perform, and how will offensive game plans be designed? Who might be some breakout players who have yet to take a snap or make a big play in a college football game? Which defensive weak spots may be vulnerable?   Thursday is kickoff for two Div. II teams in Sioux Falls. NSIC coaches rated Augustana No. 3 out of 15 teams in their preseason poll, while USF is slotted at No. 4.   Is either team under "upset alert" in their openers?   Plus, there are three Top 5 matchups involving Sioux Falls metro area teams to preview:   * Class 11AAA — No. 3 SF Jefferson at #4 Harrisburg * Class 11AAA — No. 5 O'Gorman at No. 1 SF Lincoln * Class 11A — No. 1 SF Christian at No. 2 Lennox
