After a two-day break football returns to the limelight tonight, with a trio of games, including the Bills and the Jets playing in Toronto.

The marquee game on the schedule will take place between Oregon and Oregon State in what is affectionately known as the Civil War. The winner will not only earn bragging rights in the state, but will also earn a berth in the Rose Bowl.
