Preview: East Carolina at Central Florida
Gracenote
Oct 11, 2017
The proverbial rock faces the very movable object Saturday when the high-octane offense of Central Florida hosts struggling East Carolina in an American Athletic Conference game. The No. 21 Knights lead the nation in scoring offense at 47.5 points per game while the Pirates have allowed at least 34 points in every contest this season.
Behind sophomore quarterback McKenzie Milton, UCF utilizes a balanced attack that is averaging 533 yards per game, good for eighth in the nation. The Knights have chewed up an average of 222 yards on the ground while Milton averages 291 yards passing with 13 touchdowns. Those numbers figure to have a chance to rise even more against East Carolina, one of the worst teams statistically in the nation. Out of the 129 teams in FBS, the Pirates rank last in scoring defense (47.8 points per game) and total defense (599.5 yards allowed).
TV: 7 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: UCF -35
ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (4-0, 2-0 AAC): The Knights' passing game is among the best in the nation with Milton second in the country in pass efficiency (203.7), and the sophomore likes to spread the ball around with no player accounting for more than 15 receptions. One of those targets is senior wide out Tre'Quan Smith, who has accounted for seven touchdowns among his 15 catches this season, second-most for TD receptions in the country. Smith had three TDs on five receptions in last week's 51-23 weather-shortened victory at Cincinnati.
ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (1-5, 1-2): The Pirates have little trouble moving the ball on offense and boast a trio of receivers who are among the best in the nation. East Carolina is one of only four FBS schools with three active receivers with at least 100 career receptions. Davon Grayson (107), Jimmy Williams (105) and Quay Johnson (104) all enter the weekend with more than 100 catches. The Pirates also have three active receivers with more than 1,000 yards - Williams (1,569), Grayson (1,416) and Trevon Brown (1,144).
EXTRA POINTS
1. East Carolina graduate transfer Thomas Sirk has 18 career rushing touchdowns, tied for eighth-most among active quarterbacks.
.
2. UCF, already off to the best start in FBS program history, is seeking its first 5-0 start since 1988 when it was a Division II program.
3. The Knights, who will wear special commemorative space program uniforms this weekend, are coming off back-to-back 500-yard games for the first time since 2002.
PREDICTION: UCF 55, East Carolina 27

Preview: Texas A&M at Florida
Gracenote
Oct 12, 2017
Texas A&M gave No. 1 Alabama all it could handle last week, but a moral victory won't cut it Saturday against host Florida. The Gators already have suffered two losses and barely won two other times, posting just one comfortable victory to this point in the season.
Some Aggies fans were happy with the result against the nation's most powerful program, but coach Kevin Sumlin wasn't in the mood to view it that way. "There's no moral victory in this deal," Sumlin told reporters. "When you play that hard and you play that long, nobody's happy." Likewise, Florida wasn't pleased after last weekend's 17-16 home setback against LSU. "It hurts, and they should hurt," coach Jim McElwain told reporters. "That's the nature of the beast. ... That's life in the SEC."
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Florida -2.5
ABOUT TEXAS A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC):The Aggies had won four in a row before the 27-19 loss to Alabama, and now they must contend with their only road contest during an eight-game stretch. Freshman Kellen Mond showed some inexperience against the Crimson Tide but still threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score while recording 237 yards through the air - his second-highest total of the season. Trayveon Williams gained 2.5 yards per carry against Alabama and has watched his yards-per-attempt average gradually decline in every game this campaign.
ABOUT FLORIDA (3-2, 3-1): The Gators were not happy with their offensive production last Saturday, when they went 2-for-9 on third downs, totaled 302 yards and completed only 10 passes all game. "The expectation, I would say at this point, is to play at a faster pace," McElwain told reporters this week. "Not every play is going to be perfect, but we need to be perfect on those 'got to have it' downs." Feleipe Franks, playing for the injured Luke Del Rio, has thrown only one interception in 79 attempts but also has failed to record a touchdown in the last two games.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Florida RB Malik Davis is averaging 7.2 yards on 57 attempts through the first five games of his freshman season.
2. The Gators have allowed only three rushing touchdowns this season.
3. Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk has scored a touchdown in four of the last five contests.

When: 7:00 PM ET, Saturday, October 14, 2017
Where: FIU Stadium, Miami, Florida
Preview: Tulane at Florida International
Gracenote
Oct 11, 2017
Dontrell Hilliard is joining some elite company at Tulane, which will look to stretch its winning streak to three games Saturday with a non-conference contest at Florida International. Hilliard recently moved into the top five in school history in rushing touchdowns and is poised to do the same in rushing yards for the Green Wave, who will meet the Golden Panthers for the first time.
Hilliard churned out career highs with 175 yards and four touchdowns, including the 25th of his career, as the Green Wave put up 62 points on Tulsa. The senior needs six touchdowns to move into the top three in that category and 143 rushing yards to secure a spot in the top five on that list. Hilliard wasn't the only one of find success on the ground against Tulsa as Darius Bradwell, Johnathan Brantley, Stephon Huderson and quarterback Jonathan Banks each ran for a score and the team finished with 488 rushing yards as coach Willie Fritz earned his 200th career victory. The Golden Panthers saw their three-game win streak go by the wayside after it allowed a Middle Tennessee linebacker to run for three scores out of the wildcat formation in a Conference USA game.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, No TV. LINE: Tulane -13.5
ABOUT TULANE (3-2): With the running game averaging a healthy 5.7 yards per carry and accounting for 18 touchdowns on the season, Banks hasn't had to do much with his arm. The junior has attempted 55 passes, completing 32 for 466 yards and four touchdowns while the backups Brantley and Khalil McClain have 20 attempts between them. Hilliard, Sherman Badie and the rest of the Green Wave runners should have no problem eclipsing 100 yards for the 21st straight game against an FIU defense that has surrendered 170.2 yards per game this season.
ABOUT FIU (3-2): Despite the presence of a senior quarterback and running back, the Golden Panthers have struggled to find the end zone in their first season under coach Butch Davis. Through five games, FIU has scored a total of 11 touchdowns with eight of those coming from the arm and legs of quarterback Alex McGough and three from senior wide receiver Thomas Owens. Alex Gardner, who is first in school history in rushing attempts (575) and yards (2,578) and third in touchdowns (17), has only one TD this season after notching 15 in the past two years.
EXTRA POINTS
1. NFL RBs Orleans Darkwa and Matt Forte sit atop the Tulane career rushing touchdown list with 39 apiece while Mewelde Moore is tops with 4,364 rushing yards.
2. The Green Wave, who are 6-1 under Fritz when scoring 30 or more points, have a chance to start 4-2 for only the third time in the last 20 seasons (1998, 2013).
3. Tulane junior WR Terren Encalade, who has caught at least one pass in 14 straight games, had the longest reception of his career with a 62-yard touchdown catch against Tulsa.

Top-ranked Alabama strives to continue its march toward a possible College Football Playoff berth when it hosts Arkansas on Saturday in SEC play. The Crimson Tide have won their first six games by an average of 32.7 points and are looking to knock off the Razorbacks for the 11th consecutive time.
Arkansas' chances of springing an upset aren't high but they will drop to nearly impossible if senior quarterback Austin Allen doesn't play or is hampered by a shoulder injury suffered in last Saturday's 48-22 loss to South Carolina. The Razorbacks plan to firm up Allen's status late in the week but the signal-caller said he underwent an MRI exam and "everything came back looking good." Allen passed for 400 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-30 loss to the Crimson Tide last season when he also was picked off three times by Alabama junior strong safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who returned one for a touchdown. Fitzpatrick was named defensive player of the week by two entities for his performance in last Saturday's 27-19 win over Texas A&M as he had an interception, forced a fumble and recorded three tackles for loss.
TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Alabama -30
ABOUT ARKANSAS (2-3, 0-2 SEC): Allen has passed for 850 yards and eight touchdowns against four interceptions, but he had just 84 yards in 24 pass attempts against South Carolina before suffering the injury and leaving in favor of 6-foot-7 redshirt freshman Cole Kelley (140 yards, one touchdown, one interception versus the Gamecocks). Junior wideout Jonathan Nance is having a big season with 23 receptions for 374 yards and five touchdowns. The defense is struggling by allowing an average of 40.7 points over the past three games but the Razorbacks typically receive solid efforts from sophomore middle linebacker De'Jon Harris (team-best 43 tackles) and junior weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw (39 stops).
ABOUT ALABAMA (6-0, 3-0): Junior running back Damien Harris (500 rushing yards, seven scores) rushed for 124 yards in the victory over Texas A&M and said he felt the narrow eight-point margin was something the team needed after winning its previous two games by a combined 125-3. "It was great for our team, because it showed not all games are going to go the way they had in the last couple of games, when we had some big-time wins," Harris told reporters. "We know this is a long season filled with great opponents. We're going to play a lot of good teams in a lot of hostile environments, and things aren't always going to go our way." The defense allows an average of 10.3 points per game and senior cornerback Levi Wallace (team-best three interceptions) and junior free safety Ronnie Harrison (team-high 31 tackles) join Fitzpatrick (28 stops) as standouts in the secondary.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Alabama has beaten the Razorbacks by an average of 23.1 points in the 10 meetings under coach Nick Saban.
2. Crimson Tide sophomore QB Jalen Hurts was 13-of-17 passing for 253 yards and accounted for four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) in last season's win over Arkansas.
3. The Razorbacks are just 10-24 in SEC play during Bret Bielema's five seasons as coach.

Oct 12, 2017
Fifth-ranked Georgia continues churning through opposing defenses and climbing up the national rankings, and enters Saturday’s home contest against Missouri looking to extend its best start in 12 years while maintaining control of the SEC East. Last week’s 45-14 rout of Vanderbilt featured the ingredients that have made the Bulldogs a legitimate conference title contender – an offense that rushed for 423 yards and a stingy defense that is third nationally in yards allowed per game.
“It’s nice when people think very highly of you,” Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith told reporters Monday, “but at the end of the day that stuff can go away just like that.” While the Bulldogs continue setting their sights on what could be, the Tigers arrive seeking their first conference victory after falling just short last week in a 40-34 defeat at Kentucky. Missouri has lost four in a row, three of the defeats coming by 18 points or more. “There’s a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel,” Missouri coach Dave Odom told reporters Monday. “We’re going to keep working and progressing to get there.”
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network. LINE: Georgia -30.5
ABOUT MISSOURI (1-4, 0-3 SEC): The Tigers feature the capability for big plays on offense and rank second in the SEC in total offense (469.2 yards per game), totaling 568 yards last week. Quarterback Drew Lock threw three touchdown passes last week, giving him 40 for his career, and wide receiver J’Mon Moore moved into 10th in school history in receiving yards (1,793 yards). Missouri’s biggest issues are on defense, as the Tigers are allowing 40 points per game.
ABOUT GEORGIA (6-0, 3-0): Freshman quarterback Jake Fromm passed for 102 yards and two touchdowns last week. The rushing tandem of Nick Chubb (SEC-leading 618 yards, eight touchdowns) and Sony Michel (406 yards, four scores) fuels a rushing attack that averages 268.3 yards per contest. The Georgia defense has allowed 10 points per game, tops in the conference and second in the country.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Missouri LB Terez Hall recorded a career-best 10 tackles last week and ranks second in the SEC in solo tackles and third in tackles for loss.
2. The Bulldogs hope DT Trenton Thompson (knee) and ILB Reggie Carter (undisclosed) will be able to play Saturday; both missed last week’s game.
3. Georgia has won five of the six matchups all-time against the Tigers, winning each of the past three seasons.

Preview: Cincinnati at South Florida
Gracenote
Oct 11, 2017
No. 15 South Florida should be well-rested and healthier as it attempts to make history Saturday night when struggling Cincinnati pays a visit for an American Athletic Conference matchup. The Bulls can tie Oregon (2011-12) for the longest streak in modern college football history by scoring at least 30 points in their 23rd straight game after registering a season-high 61 in the last contest Sept. 30 at East Carolina.
USF has won a school-record 10 straight games and can equal its best start in team history (6-0, 2007), led by an offense that is fifth in the nation in rushing and a defense that is second in rushing yards allowed per contest. “What we try to do is just be a balanced team,” Bulls first-year coach Charlie Strong told reporters. “I always tell our offensive line and our defensive line, ‘We’re going to win football games because of how hard you play.’ If you can’t win up front, you have no chance.” The Bearcats lost 51-23 at Central Florida in a rain-shortened contest last weekend and have allowed 131 points during a three-game losing streak, but junior quarterback Hayden Moore leads a capable offense. “We’ve got to continue to grow,” Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell told reporters. “There are a lot of areas of this ball club where we have gone up and down. All of a sudden someone starts to do something good and then on the other side things start to go the other direction. It’s a rollercoaster.”
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: South Florida -24.5
ABOUT CINCINNATI (2-4, 0-2 AAC): Moore has thrown for five touchdowns and just one interception during the losing streak and ran for a career-high 75 yards last week against UCF, but has completed a career-low 53.3 percent of his passes overall. Junior wide receiver Kahlil Lewis is the top target for the Bearcats with 31 catches - seven last week - for 325 yards and four touchdowns while the rushing attack is ranked 117th in the nation (102.2 yards per game). Cincinnati’s defense must step up big time this week and is led by senior linebacker Jaylyin Minor, who boasts a team-high 59 tackles, but the Bearcats have just two interceptions and six sacks.
ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA (5-0, 2-0): Senior quarterback Quinton Flowers may be falling short of becoming a Heisman Trophy candidate this season with a 52.9 completion percentage, but he has 10 touchdown passes (two interceptions) and five rushing scores. Senior running backs Darius Tice and D’Ernest Johnson, who have combined for 870 yards and 11 touchdowns rushing, appear to be healthy after walking around in protective boots during the bye week and Strong said wide receiver Deangelo Antoine could be available after missing two games. Senior Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the top receiving option with 22 receptions and 322 yards with four TDs (one rushing).
EXTRA POINTS
1. USF LB Auggie Sanchez has 335 career tackles and needs three to move past DeDe Lattimore for second on the school’s all-time list.
2. Cincinnati leads the all-time series 8-6 but dropped the last two, including a 65-27 setback at Tampa in 2015 and a 45-20 loss last year at home.
3. Flowers is 11 shy of 3,000 rushing yards in his career and 11 attempts from 500 while Johnson is 71 rushing yards from moving into 10th all-time at the school.

Oct 11, 2017
Eighth-ranked Ohio State’s defense is following the lead of its productive offense during an impressive four-game winning streak and the Buckeyes hope to extend that to five when they visit Nebraska for a Big Ten matchup on Saturday night. Ohio State is averaging 52.5 points over the last four games, but has also allowed just 10.5 in the same stretch and limited Maryland to 66 total yards in a 62-14 victory last week.
“The defense smothered them and stopped them,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer told reporters of his team, which has allowed 53.8 yards per game through the air during the win streak after struggling early in the season. “The line of scrimmage we dominated.” Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett (16 touchdown passes, one interception in 2017) looks to continue his roll leading the Ohio State offense and match last season’s performance when he threw for four scores in a 62-3 win over the Cornhuskers. Nebraska was within seven points of No. 6 Wisconsin entering the fourth quarter last week before dropping a 38-17 decision after winning its first two Big Ten contests. The Buckeyes have given up some rushing yards (150.5 per game) during their winning streak and junior running back Devine Ozigbo will try to take advantage after registering at least 100 in three straight games for the Cornhuskers.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: Ohio State -24
ABOUT OHIO STATE (5-1, 3-0 Big Ten): Barrett, who is completing 63.8 percent of his passes, has seven receivers who have recorded at least 143 yards and 10 different players own touchdown receptions. Freshman running back J.K. Dobbins continues to add to his outstanding season with 669 yards rushing (7.6 per carry) and four touchdowns, gaining at least 95 in four of six games, while Barrett has run for 311 yards to place second on the team. The Buckeyes lost right guard Branden Bowen for the season with a broken left leg, but could get back defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones back after he missed the last two contests with a leg injury.
ABOUT NEBRASKA (3-3, 2-1): Ozigbo has rushed for 327 yards - including a career-best 112 last week - and may get some help Saturday if junior Mikale Wilbon (251 yards) can return from an ankle injury that kept him out of last week. Junior quarterback Tanner Lee has thrown for 1,406 yards and 11 touchdowns, but owns a Big Ten-most 10 interceptions while junior Stanley Morgan Jr. (five TD receptions) and senior De’Mornay Pierson-El (four TDs) are the top two targets. Junior safety Aaron Williams has 40 tackles along with a pair of interceptions to lead the Cornhuskers - averaging 26.7 points against - and senior safety Joshua Kalu has 185 career tackles.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Morgan’s 30 receptions are tied for second-most and his 510 receiving yards are second alone through six games of a single season in Nebraska history.
2. Barrett needs 21 yards to pass former Nebraska star Tommy Armstrong for seventh on the Big Ten’s all-time list in total offense and 76 to go by Denard Robinson for sixth.
3. The Cornhuskers have lost four of five against the Buckeyes, but earned the only victory in the last game at Lincoln 34-27 in 2011 before giving up 125 points in the last two meetings.

Preview: Michigan State at Minnesota

Oct 11, 2017
No. 22 Michigan State is ranked for the first time this season and will look to keep its momentum moving forward when it visits Minnesota for a Big Ten matchup on Saturday. The Spartans are coming off an upset at then-No. 7 Michigan, while the Golden Gophers return home after a second straight last-minute loss at Purdue.
Coach Mark Dantonio has his team back in the title hunt in the Big Ten thanks to a defense that has allowed 14 or fewer points in four of its five contests while ranking second in the country in pass efficiency defense and fourth in total defense (258.6 yards per game). Offensively, sophomore quarterback Brian Lewerke has been outstanding, leading the team in passing (1,057 yards, nine touchdowns) and rushing (309, three) and ranking third in the conference in total offense (273.2 yards per game). Minnesota has been tied or in the lead in the last five minutes of its two conference losses, so coach P.J. Fleck isn’t panicking and will stay with Conor Rhoda (786 yards, five TDs) at quarterback. Injuries have hurt the Golden Gophers in recent weeks, and Fleck will have to replace four sidelined starters – three on defense – for this week’s game.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Michigan State -4
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten): The Spartans are averaging 181.6 yards on the ground, even with no running back stepping forward and giving consistent production. Junior LJ Scott hasn’t lived up to expectations, averaging only 53.5 yards, and didn’t play against Michigan because of a minor undisclosed injury, while Madre London and Gerald Holmes split time against the Wolverines - although neither is averaging even 35 yards. Dantonio continues to say he’ll rotate all three backs and if one gets hot, he’ll try to ride him more, but the lack of consistent production by any of the three is becoming a concern.
ABOUT MINNESOTA (3-2, 0-2): Fleck isn't planning on changing quarterbacks this week, but that doesn't mean he's going to have Rhoda try to pass the Gophers to victory, especially with wide receiver Phillip Howard out after suffering a head injury in the loss to Purdue. The freshman was hurt on the second play from scrimmage and Fleck turned to his ground game, running the ball 47 times for 227 yards while passing only 25 times for 101 yards. Throw in Rhoda's two turnovers deep in Boilermakers territory, the return to the lineup of center Jared Weyler and Michigan State's solid pass defense, and it's very likely Fleck and the Gophers will be going with the ground attack quite a bit when they have the ball.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Minnesota leads the Big Ten and is eighth in the nation in fewest penalties committed with 21 through five games, which is less than half of what the team had through five contests last season (43).
2. Michigan State had a turnover margin of minus-6 through the first three games of the season but is plus-7 over its last two contests without a single turnover by the offense.
3. Spartans S David Dowell made two interceptions against Michigan last week, becoming the first MSU player to record two in one game since Trae Wayes in 2014 against Nebraska.
PREDICTION: Michigan State 31, Minnesota 17
