College Football, Quran-Burning Will Heat Up Gainesville on Saturday

Which will be the hotter ticket in Gainesville Saturday -- the USF-UF game or the scheduled burning of the Quran?

G'ville Pastor Terry Jones is giving the Gators a run for their money with his fiery 9/11 commemoration at Dove World Outreach Center. Even President Barack Obama is opining on this one. If online traffic is any indication, news reporters will be turning out in droves for the Quran bonfire, which is scheduled between 6-9 p.m.

Sports scribes, meantime, will be over at the Swamp to see if No. 8 Florida can put on a more impressive show than it did last week. USF's Bulls (1-0) figure to be a tougher opponent than Miami (Ohio). Kickoff is at 12:20 p.m. (ESPN).

In other Saturday action:

• No. 12 University of Miami travels to No. 2 Ohio State (3:40 p.m., ESPN).
• No. 17 Florida State treks to Oklahoma (3:30, ABC/ESPN2).
• UCF hosts North Carolina State (7:30 p.m., CBSC).
