THURSDAY, OCT. 3 College football (6:30-9 p.m., ESPN): The Texas Longhorns look to get their season back on track against fellow Big12 team the Iowa State Cyclones.

SUNDAY, OCT. 6 NFL (12-3 p.m., Fox): After a short rest week due to Monday Night Football, the New Orleans Saints hit the road to face an impressive Chicago Bears team.
Folks should feel some hope around Hattiesburg this week—not just about finally getting a winner in the mayoral election—but on the football field. MONDAY, OCT. 7 NFL (7:30-11 p.m., ESPN): The New York Jets travel south to meet the Atlanta Falcons, who face their secondstraight AFC East opponent at home in primetime on Monday Night Football. TUESDAY, OCT. 8 Documentary (7-8 p.m., ESPN): ESPN’s 30 for 30 series continues with “Free Spirit,� the unusual story of how two brothers were able to stay in pro basketball after the ABA merged with the NBA. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 9 NHL (7-9 p.m., NBC Sports Network): Dream of winter while watching a preseason regular season NHL game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues. This week the Southern Miss Golden Eagles host Florida International in a game between two 0-4 teams. Somebody is walking out of M.M. Roberts Stadium with a win, and it could be USM.
