Games to Watch - Week 7

Week 6 of the college football season proved to be one of the most explosive in recent memory, with the results from Saturday having a major impact on the National Rankings outside of the Top 4 teams.

The top teams in the nation continued to roll, but it was what happened in the spot below them that caused a major shake-up. The losses by LSU and Oklahoma have opened things up in a big way, with a couple of teams set to make big jumps in this week’s rankings.

Instead of looking back, let’s look ahead at dome of the biggest games on the college football schedule for Week 7 with all odds, props and futures for each game.

Pittsburgh Panthers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The biggest beneficiary of the Week 6 results was the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as they moved all the way up to the #5 spot after maintaining their unbeaten record on the season. The Irish are now on the brink of cracking the top 4, although they still need one of the top teams to slip up, which is certainly a possibility given some of the match-ups we have on tap this Saturday. While Notre Dame are an overwhelming favorite for this one, it is still a potential trip-up game for them, as they may let down a little after taking such a nice jump up the rankings. The Panthers are coming off a surprising win over Syracuse in Week 5, so they are sure to still be riding on a bit of a high. Still, Notre Dame should win this one.

Georgia Bulldogs at LSU Tigers

No doubt about it, this is the biggest game on the schedule this coming weekend. The LSU Tigers fell out of the #5 spot this week after losing on the road to the Florida Gators, and things are not going to get any easier with the #2 team in the nation coming to town on Saturday. Georgia rolled over Vanderbilt last week, scoring over 40 points for the 5th time in 6 games this season. The loss for the Tigers means that they now need some help if they are to catch Alabama in the West, and they could well be out of the SEC race altogether with another loss this weekend, which I believe is what is going to happen to them.

Washington Huskies at Oregon Ducks

There were no PAC-12 teams in the playoff last season and it’s fair to suggest that things are beginning to look as though we may see more of the same this year. As it stands right now, the Washington Huskies and the Colorado Buffaloes look like the best chance this conference has of getting a team into the final four, as both are still unbeaten in conference play, although Washington do have a loss on the season, going down to Auburn in Week 1. The Huskies need this one to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, while the Ducks, who are 1-1 in conference play. Need it to get back in the hunt in the North Division. I think it will be the Huskies who win here.

Wisconsin Badgers at Michigan Wolverines

The Big Ten Conference is being controlled by the Ohio State Buckeyes right now, but that does not necessarily mean that they are going to get to the Championship Game totally unopposed. Their biggest threat right now would appear to be the Michigan Wolverines, which is perhaps a bit of a surprise given how poorly they started the season. As good as Michigan have been in recent weeks, they know they really cannot afford another loss if they are still to have a shot at the playoffs. Wisconsin have been poorer than expected this season, which is why I like the Wolverines to continue rolling this weekend.

Early Line Moves - Week 7

College Football Week 7 Opening Line Report

Where has the early money gone in college football for Week 7? The biggest line move in college football so far in Week 7 is on the winless Nebraska Cornhuskers. If you remember last week, one of the early live moves was on Nebraska in their game at Wisconsin and the Cornhuskers covered the 18-point spread.

Nebraska is visiting Northwestern this week and the line opened with Northwestern a 9-point favorite. That number is now down to 5.5 points. Let’s look at some of the big live moves for Week 7 and some of the line movement for the three marquee games this week.

Odds per BetDSI

Week 7 Early Line Moves

Nebraska +9 to +5.5 at Northwestern

The Cornhuskers are winless at 0-5, but they did cover the spread for the first time this season last week in a 41-24 loss at Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers have been arguably, the most disappointing team in all of college football this season, but Northwestern is coming off a big win against Michigan State and bettors are expecting a letdown.

Duke +3 to +1 at Georgia Tech

The Blue Devils are getting some love in this game, as the line has dropped from three points to just one point against Georgia Tech. The Blue Devils come into this game at 4-1, while the Yellow Jackets are 3-3.

Buffalo -9 to -11.5 vs. Akron

The Bulls are getting some serious action this week from bettors, as they go on the road to Akron. The Bulls lead the MAC East Division at 2-0, while the Zips are 0-1 in the division.

San Jose State +17 to +14 vs. Army

Bettors are taking the points with another winless team this week. The Spartans come into this game at 0-5, but bettors are taking the big points with San Jose State against Army. The Black Knights come into this game at 3-2.

Louisiana Tech -11.5 to -14 at UTSA

This line move is a bit strange, as Louisiana Tech comes into this game at 3-2, while UTSA is 3-3. This game is also a road contest, but bettors really like the road squad here, as the line has moved from 11.5 to 14.

West Virginia -4.5 to -6.5 at Iowa State

This line moves makes a little more sense, as bettors are backing the unbeaten Mountaineers on the road at Iowa State. If you are going to bet this game that should worry you, as line moves that make sense are usually the ones that lose. It is the line moves that don’t make sense that normally win.

Indiana +6 to +4 vs. Iowa

Bettors are taking Indiana in their road contest at Iowa. The Hoosiers looked pretty good last week in a loss to Ohio State and Iowa hasn’t been impressive this season. The Hawkeyes are still 4-1 and they are playing at home, so this is a dangerous play on an Indiana team that still isn’t very good.

Baylor +17 to +14 at Texas

Bettors are counting on a letdown from Texas this week, as they are backing Baylor plus the big points. Texas is coming off a very emotional win against Oklahoma last week and it would be natural if they have a letdown. The Bears can score, but they can’t stop anyone, so this is likely to be a high scoring game. Baylor is 4-2 on the season, while Texas is 5-1.

Marquee Game Line Moves

There are three marquee games this week, as No. 2 Georgia visits No. 13 LSU on CBS, No. 7 Washington visits No. 17 Oregon on ABC or ESPN 2 and No. 15 Wisconsin visits No. 12 Michigan on ABC.

-- Georgia opened as a 7-point favorite at LSU and that number has moved slightly down to 6.5.
-- The Huskies opened up as a 3.5 point favorite at Oregon and that number has not moved, although the juice has Oregon laying -115.
-- The Wolverines opened up as a 6.5-point favorite against the Badgers and bettors are backing Michigan in the Big House, as the Wolverines are now laying 7.5 points.

GARY BACK FOR WOLVERINES?

The Michigan Wolverines could have their best defender back in the lineup for this weekend's pivotal encounter with visiting Wisconsin. Rashan Gary didn't dress last week due to a shoulder injury, but Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh says there is "hope" that the standout defensive end will return against the Badgers. Gary, who suffered the injury in the second half of a 20-17 win over Northwestern on Sept. 29, is considered one of the top defensive linemen in Division I and will almost certainly be tasked with slowing down superstar running back and Heisman Trophy candidate Jonathan Taylor if he plays Saturday.

The Wolverines enter Tuesday as 7.5-point favorites with an O/U of 48, putting Wisconsin's team total at roughly 20 points. The return of Gary would put a serious dent in the Badgers' chances of getting there, despite having averaged nearly 34 points through their first five games of the season.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

The Boise State defense is facing major voids following the loss of two starters to season-ending injuries. Safety DeAndre Pierce suffered a spleen injury in the Broncos' Sept. 29 triumph over Wyoming and will miss the remainder of the year. He'll be joined on the sidelines by senior defensive lineman David Moa, who has been dealing with a calf injury that has plagued him since fall camp. Pierce had a team-high 23 tackles through four games but missed last week's game against San Diego State. Moa has appeared in just one game this season, a 44-21 loss to Oklahoma State on Sept. 15.

Boise State has allowed 20 or fewer points in four of five games this season, and is a 17.5-point favorite for Saturday's encounter with visiting Nevada. But the loss of Pierce is a big one, and greatly enhances the Wolf Pack's chances of not only covering, but surpassing its team total, which sits at around 21.5 points.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

The Boston College Eagles might have to prepare for the possibility that their sensational starting running back will miss another week. A.J. Dillon remains day-to-day with an ankle injury that sidelined him for last Saturday's 28-23 setback against N.C. State. The team says he's making progress in his recovery, but the true test could be how much he practices ahead of this weekend's encounter with visiting Louisville. Ben Giles had 90 yards and a touchdown while substituting for Dillon, who enters the week with 652 rushing yards and seven scores on the season.

Dillon's return is critical for the Eagles against a Cardinals rush defense allowing an unfathomable 231 yards per game – one of the worst rates in the country. If he's good to go, bettors should strongly consider taking BC to cover at -13.5 while giving the over-61 play a long look, as well.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Zeb Noland is out and Brock Purdy is in at quarterback for Iowa State. Purdy took over for Noland early in last week's 48-42 loss to Oklahoma State and was simply sensational, throwing for 318 yards and four touchdowns while adding 84 yards and a score on the ground. The Cyclones turn to Purdy as they continue to wait for Kyle Kempt to return from a knee injury that has limited him to just one game this season, but he won't be ready to return this weekend. Purdy's four scoring passes equaled the output Noland and Kempt had compiled over Iowa State's previous four games.

The Cyclones are six-point home underdogs against Will Grier and the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday. But if Purdy is anywhere near as effective as he was last week, this game should soar past the total of 57.5.

Preview: Rutgers at Maryland


Ty Johnson will look to join some select company when Maryland celebrates homecoming Saturday in a Big Ten game against visiting Rutgers. The senior needs 65 yards to become the fourth player to amass 4,000 career all-purpose yards for the Terrapins, who have split four games with the Scarlet Knights since becoming conference foes in 2014.

Johnson, who can join Torrey Smith, LaMont Jordan and Stefon Diggs in the 4,000-yard club, and backfield mates Anthony McFarland and Tayon Fleet-Davis, could be primed for a big day against one of the worst rushing defenses in the country. The trio has racked up 839 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground while giving the Terrapins three different players with a 100-yard game in the same season for the first time since 1984. The Scarlet Knights have dropped five straight games and have allowed 229 rushing yards per game overall, which ranks 117 out of 130 teams in the FBS. The offense, which is run by freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski, hasn't been much better as it has failed to crack 17 points in six straight conference games dating back to a 31-24 victory over the Terrapins last season at home.

TV: Noon ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Maryland -25.5

ABOUT RUTGERS (1-5, 0-3 Big Ten): After having senior Giovanni Rescigno come on in relief of Sitkowski in three straight games, the Scarlet Knights and coach Chris Ash have stuck with the 6-5, 224-pound New Jersey native in the last two games to mixed results. Sitkowski had career-highs in completions (29), attempts (46) and yards (267) in last week's loss to Illinois, but also threw three interceptions for the third time this season and has 11 picks overall. Raheem Blackshear has been the top weapon as he is first in rushing yards and third in receiving yards but will be going against one of the better run defenses in the FBS.

ABOUT MARYLAND (3-2, 1-1): The Terrapins don't have much choice but to run the ball on average 40.5 times per game as the passing attack has been anemic, particularly in their two defeats. Freshman quarterback Kasim Hill has had his moments, especially in wins against No. 14 Texas and Minnesota, but all told the Terrapins have 638 passing yards, which is better than only six teams in the FBS -- none from a Power Five conference. "There will be a game - I don't have any doubt in my mind - when we throw for a whole bunch of yards and we don't run for many," interim coach Matt Canada told the media. "I have great faith in our wideouts, great faith in our quarterbacks and great faith in our pass protection."

1. Maryland hasn't had three players rush for 100 yards in the same game since Richard Jennings, Steve Atkins and Jamie Franklin did so in 1975.

2. Jonathan Hilliman, who played four seasons at Boston College, has a team-leading five rushing touchdowns this season for Rutgers to give him 31 for his career, which ranks eighth among active career leaders in the FBS.

3. The Terrapins, who lead the series 7-6, have won seven straight games when leading at halftime.

PREDICTION: Maryland 44, Rutgers 16

Preview: Florida at Vanderbilt

After four consecutive wins, including two straight against ranked opponents, No. 16 Florida will try to avoid a letdown when it visits Vanderbilt on Saturday for an SEC East matchup. The Commodores are seeking their first win over a ranked SEC opponent since knocking off Tennessee in 2016.


The Gators are coming off a 27-19 home victory over LSU – their first win against a top-five team since 2015 – that gave them back-to-back triumphs over ranked opponents for the first time since 2008. First-year Florida coach Dan Mullen reminded his team how quickly its outlook could change with a slip-up against the Commodores. “If you like being told how great you are, get back to work, and let’s win again,” Mullen told reporters. “If you like being told that you stink, well then you don’t have to work very hard, and everyone will tell us we won’t win the game and they’ll tell us how bad we are. Everyone is patting you on the back, only about six inches lower that they’re kicking you in the rear end. I like the pat on the back rather than the kick in the rear end, so let’s just keep working to keep it six inches higher.” The Commodores were smacked around in a 41-13 loss at Georgia last week and have been outscored 78-27 in their first two SEC contests.

TV: Noon ET, ESPN. LINE: Florida -7


ABOUT FLORIDA (5-1, 3-1 SEC): The Gators’ offense has shown improvement in Mullen’s initial season at the helm, as quarterback Feleipe Franks is guiding a more explosive passing game and taking better care of the ball. The offense still ranks near the bottom of the SEC in most categories, but Florida is fifth in the league in scoring, in part because of a defense that has given the team favorable field position. The Gators possess the nation’s sixth-best passing defense and rank third in sacks (20) while tying for 11th in tackles for loss (48).

ABOUT VANDERBILT (3-3, 0-2): The Commodores’ offense also is outperforming last year’s version, but the team still ranks 13th in the SEC in scoring (25.2 points) and rushing (159 yards). Vanderbilt does have a dynamic passing attack led by Kyle Shurmur (1,400 yards, nine touchdowns, four interceptions) and Kalija Lipscomb, who has registered six touchdowns while topping the SEC in receptions (45) and receiving yards (496). The defense played well early in the season, including a tough 22-17 loss at Notre Dame, but has allowed an average of 35 points over the last three games - a stretch that includes a narrow 31-27 win over FCS opponent Tennessee State.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Florida has recorded 19 tackles for loss and 11 sacks in its last two games.

2. Vanderbilt is 5-for-26 on third-down conversions in its two SEC contests.

3. The Gators rank second in the nation with 17 takeaways, matching last season’s amount, and have scored 50 points off turnovers to surpass their 2017 total of 44.


PREDICTION: Florida 31, Vanderbilt 20

Preview: Minnesota at Ohio State

Third-ranked Ohio State is midway through a possible undefeated regular season and quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. is halfway to a 50-touchdown campaign as the Buckeyes enter Saturday's home game against Minnesota. The Buckeyes are scoring an average of 49 points behind Haskins, who has won conference player of the week honors after each of the past three games and has 25 touchdowns against just four interceptions.

Haskins matched the school record of six touchdown passes and had 455 yards -- three short of the mark set by Art Schlichter (1981) -- while continuing his stunning performance in his first season as a starter. "I think you guys are witnessing a legend in the making," senior receiver Parris Campbell told reporters. "The things that he can do throwing the ball, the leader he's becoming, he's just really developing into a great leader, and obviously the stats speak for themselves." Minnesota will be hard-pressed to slow the Buckeyes after allowing an average of 45 points while losing its past two games to Maryland and Iowa. Standout sophomore safety Antoine Winfield Jr. suffered a season-ending foot injury on the first drive of the Maryland contest, a major blow for the unit.

TV: Noon ET, FS1. LINE: Ohio State -29.5

ABOUT MINNESOTA (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten): Zack Annexstad is one of the few true freshmen walk-ons to open a college season as a starting quarterback and has eight touchdowns against five interceptions while completing just 52.1 percent of his passes. Junior receiver Tyler Johnson is having a strong season with team-leading figures of 28 catches for 402 yards and six scores, and his 14 career receiving touchdowns tie for ninth in program history. Junior linebacker Carter Coughlin is tied for first in the Big Ten with five sacks and has recorded nine in his past 11 games dating back to last season.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (6-0, 3-0): Haskins has completed 71.7 percent of his passes for 1,919 yards and Campbell has been the biggest recipient as he leads the team with 35 receptions for 501 yards and seven touchdowns. The running back duo of sophomore J.K. Dobbins (462) and junior Mike Weber (420) continue to click as the Buckeyes average 201 yards on the ground per game. The defense certainly misses junior defense end Nick Bosa (abdominal surgery) as the unit has allowed 26 or more points on four occasions overall, but junior defensive tackle Dre'Mont Jones (4.5 sacks) and sophomore defensive end Chase Young (four) are having strong campaigns.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Ohio State has won the past nine meetings and holds a 44-7 edge in the series.

2. The Golden Gophers have been flagged for just 20 penalties this season.

3. The Buckeyes have topped 500 yards in five of their six contests.

PREDICTION: Ohio State 52, Minnesota 21

Preview: Tennessee at Auburn

Auburn is supposed to be an offensive powerhouse under head coach Gus Malzahn, but the results aren't meeting expectations so far in 2018. The 21st-ranked Tigers will look for new ways to put points on the board and bounce back from a big loss when they host Tennessee on Saturday.

Auburn is 11th in the SEC in scoring at an average of 28.7 points and is coming off a 23-9 loss at Mississippi State in which it failed to find the end zone - a setback that made it more difficult for the Tigers to contend for another SEC West title. "We know what we have, and we do have some strengths," Malzahn told reporters. "We've got some guys that are capable of scoring points. We've just got to seize the moment when we have those opportunities." Auburn should have the opportunity to fix some of the things that ail the offense against the Volunteers, who surrendered an average of 42.5 points in losses to Florida and Georgia to begin SEC play before getting a bye last weekend. "We worked really hard on tackling," Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt told reporters of the team's focus during the bye. "We worked really hard on the fundamentals of blocking and block protection. We went back to the 'A, B, C's' that you do during spring ball and fall camp, which we need. ... The only way I know how to get better at something is to go do it, and that is what we did this past week."

TV: Noon, ET, SEC Network. LINE: Auburn - 15.5

ABOUT TENNESSEE (2-3, 0-2 SEC): The Volunteers are one spot below the Tigers in 12th place in the SEC in scoring at an average of 26 points and a large part of the problem is the play of the offensive line. Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano has yet to record 200 passing yards in a game and the line surrendered six tackles for loss in Week 5's 38-12 setback at Georgia. "To me, the big thing is that you've got to get the guys to play hard," Pruitt told reporters of the line. "You've got to get them to know what to do. You've got to get them to play with the right technique, the right body angles and learn to finish, and you just have to do what they know. Don't ask them to do things they can't do."

ABOUT AUBURN (4-2, 1-2): The Tigers ended up winning five in a row - capped by a win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl - to win the SEC West in 2017, and the hope is that the 2018 version of the team can show similar improvement. "Our team is in a good spot mentally for everything that we went through the first half of the season," Malzahn told reporters. "And I think we're set up to improve each week. We've done that the last few seasons. I think we'll do that again this year." That improvement has to start with quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who is completing 56.8 percent of his passes with one TD and two interceptions in SEC play.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Auburn enters the week ranked sixth in FBS in scoring defense, allowing an average of 14.3 points.

2. Tennessee LB Darrell Taylor recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles in the loss to Georgia.

3. The Tigers took the last six meetings, most recently claiming a 55-23 win at the Volunteers on Nov. 9, 2013.

Preview: Iowa at Indiana

Iowa's mistake-prone ways over the last two games has coach Kirk Ferentz slightly concerned, although his team showed last week it could earn a Big Ten win on the road despite playing far from perfect. The Hawkeyes will attempt to continue their best start since winning 12 in a row to begin 2015 on Saturday when they visit Indiana.

Despite forcing a season-high four turnovers and amassing more than 400 total yards of offense, Ferentz lamented Iowa's two giveaways that led to 14 of Minnesota's first 24 points before his team buckled down for a 48-31 victory. "There were two critical errors that made this game tougher than it needed to be, but the good news is we played through those things. I am not saying we gave them 14 points, but we set the ball up on the tee for them for two touchdowns," Ferentz said one week after the Hawkeyes committed three turnovers in a loss to No. 10 Wisconsin. The Hoosiers hung with No. 3 Ohio State for a little over three quarters last weekend before falling 49-26, allowing Heisman hopeful Dwayne Haskins to tie multiple single-game school passing records while also throwing for a career-high 455 yards. "No moral victories - that's in the past. We didn't execute to our standard all the time and it cost us in some critical situations. But the kids battled. Proud of that," Indiana coach Tom Allen said.

TV: Noon ET, ESPN2. LINE: Iowa -5.5.

ABOUT IOWA (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten): Junior Nate Stanley threw for four touchdowns last weekend to increase his career total to 35, two shy of tying Chuck Hartlieb (1995-98) for seventh in program history. Junior Noah Fant collected his 17th career TD reception last weekend, extending his own personal school record for a tight end while moving into a tie with Wisconsin's Jacob Pedersen (2010-13) for third place in Big Ten history for a tight end. Junior defensive end Anthony Nelson was named the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Week after notching three of the Hawkeyes' five sacks versus Minnesota, while true freshman cornerback Riley Moss took home freshman of the week honors after recording two of Iowa's four interceptions in his first career start.

ABOUT INDIANA (4-2, 1-2): Peyton Ramsey set career highs with 322 yards passing while tying another with three touchdowns versus the Buckeyes; the sophomore quarterback ranks eighth in FBS in completions (141) and second in the Big Ten in TD passes (11). Junior Nick Westbrook eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark for the fourth time in his career, while senior J-Shun Harris II set career highs with eight receptions and 104 yards receiving. Running back Stevie Scott enjoyed his finest day in three conference games with 64 yards rushing, but he has run for only 254 yards in the last four contests overall since rushing for 204 - three shy of a school record for a true freshman - in his second career game against Virginia on Sept. 8.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Iowa is second in the conference in total defense (272.4 yards), rushing defense (84.4) and passing defense (188.0), leaving it as the only Big Ten school to rank in the top two in all three categories.

2. Scott ranks second among FBS freshmen with 107 carries and third with 528 rushing yards.

3. The Hawkeyes are second in the Big Ten with 18 sacks, notching at least three in four of their first five games.

Preview: Nebraska at Northwestern

Northwestern and Nebraska may only be separated by two wins through five games, but the gap between the Big Ten West division rivals could not be much larger than it has at any point since they began playing each other annually in 2011. Coming off an impressive win on the road against a ranked opponent, the Wildcats seek their 10th conference victory in 11 tries Saturday when they host the winless Cornhuskers.

The only thing keeping Northwestern from sharing the division lead with Wisconsin has been an inability to finish, as the Wildcats blew an 18-point second-half advantage in a 39-34 home loss to Akron and coughed up an early 17-point edge in a 20-17 setback against No. 13 Michigan two weeks later. Northwestern again flirted with danger last weekend, giving up 16 unanswered points after racing out to an early double-digit lead before rallying for a 29-19 triumph at Michigan State. Nebraska continued its undisciplined ways and extended a dubious program record by losing its ninth straight game, committing 10 penalties for 100 yards, in a 41-24 defeat at No. 10 Wisconsin last weekend. The Cornhuskers have drawn at least 10 flags in every game during the first 0-5 start in school history and lead FBS with 97.4 penalty yards per game.

TV: Noon ET, ABC. LINE: Northwestern -3.5.

ABOUT NEBRASKA (0-5, 0-3 Big Ten): The Cornhuskers were able to take some positives away from their most recent loss, as sophomore JD Spielman caught nine passes for a school-record 209 yards and a touchdown to break his own school record. Fellow receiver Stanley Morgan Jr. tied his personal best with eight catches to run his career total to 144, passing former Heisman Trophy winner and Hall of Famer Johnny Rodgers (143) for fourth place on the school's all-time list. Adrian Martinez, who accounted for 441 yards of total offense against Wisconsin to set a Nebraska freshman record, has topped 400 yards of total offense in each of the past two weeks and ranks second nationally among freshmen in total offense (292.3 yards).

ABOUT NORTHWESTERN (2-3, 2-1): Clayton Thorson, who has taken every snap over the last two games after splitting time over the first three contests while finishing his recovery from offseason surgery, is the only quarterback in the Big Ten with two games of 350-plus passing yards this season. Flynn Nagel is one of two Big Ten players with multiple 10-catch games in 2018 and ranks second in the conference with 36 receptions; he has recorded at least one catch in 23 straight games - good for the second-longest active streak in the league. Sophomore linebacker Blake Gallagher has tallied at least 11 tackles in two straight games and is one of two players in the conference (Mohamed Barry, Nebraska) with three such games this season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Five of the seven meetings between the schools since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011 have been decided by three or fewer points or gone into overtime.

2. The Cornhuskers, who have won three straight in Evanston, have produced 500 total yards in back-to-back conference games for the first time since 2007.

3. Three of the Wildcats' four touchdown drives last week took less than a minute, marking the first time they registered three such possessions in a game in 10 years.

PREDICTION: Northwestern 34, Nebraska 31

Preview: Duke at Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech has one of the top ground attacks in the nation, but it will face a tough challenge on Saturday as it hosts Duke in a key ACC contest for both teams. The Yellow Jackets lead the nation in rushing offense, averaging 373 yards per game, while the Blue Devils are 29th against the run (122.8 yards) - and that matchup will go a long way to deciding the winner in the battle of the bottom two squads in the ACC Coastal Division.

The Blue Devils began with four straight wins for the second consecutive season, but after losing to Virginia Tech 31-14 on Sept. 29, they spent their bye week focusing on avoiding a repeat of 2017 - when their strong start was followed by a six-game slide. “When you don’t play for four quarters in ACC games, you lose,” Duke linebacker Joe Giles-Harris told reporters on Monday. “That’s what happened (against Virginia Tech), that’s what happened last year six times in a row.” Georgia Tech cruised to its second consecutive victory last week, blasting Louisville 66-31 behind 542 yards on the ground – with 283 coming from quarterbacks TaQuon Marshall and Tobias Oliver. The Yellow Jackets scored on nine of their 10 possessions, prompting coach Paul Johnson to remark on Tuesday that the offense was “pretty remarkable” in the victory.

TV: 12:20 p.m. ET, RSN, ACC Network. LINE: Georgia Tech -3

ABOUT DUKE (4-1, 0-1 ACC): Daniel Jones, who passed for 226 yards and a touchdown against Virginia Tech, benefited from the bye week - considering he broke his collarbone four weeks ago. Duke quarterbacks have thrown 12 touchdown passes and only one interception this season, while running back Deon Jackson has rushed for a score in three consecutive games. Linebackers Giles-Harris (260 career tackles) and Ben Humphreys (237) are the only active duo in the ACC with 200-plus total tackles.

ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (3-3, 1-2): Marshall earned ACC Quarterback of the Week honors, rushing for two touchdowns while leading the Yellow Jackets to six TDs and a field goal on their first seven possessions. Running back Jordan Mason is averaging 7.6 yards per carry and ranks fifth in the nation among freshmen with 443. Defensive end Anree Saint-Amour forced two fumbles last week, both of which were recovered by linebacker Charlie Thomas, but the defense has allowed an average of 34.7 points in ACC play.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Georgia Tech has scored 60-plus points in back-to-back games, marking the fourth time an ACC team has accomplished that feat and second time it has done it (2015).

2. The Blue Devils have outscored opponents 95-37 in the first half.

3. The Yellow Jackets are 10-1 in their last 11 home meetings with Duke.

PREDICTION: Duke 27, Georgia Tech 21

Preview: Louisville at Boston College

Boston College is hoping to have star running back AJ Dillon on the field when it hosts Louisville in an ACC clash Saturday afternoon. Dillon, who leads the conference with 130.4 rushing yards per game, sat out last week's 28-23 loss at North Carolina State due to an ankle injury and he is considered day-to-day.

"I just don't know yet, and this won't change," Boston College head coach Steve Addazio told the media this week. "It will continue to be a day-to-day, week-to-week deal and it is just hard to know. He made good improvement over the weekend and he is working really hard on rehab." Playing without Dillon, the Eagles gave the 19th-ranked Wolfpack all they could handle last Saturday with Anthony Brown throwing for 198 yards and a touchdown and junior Ben Glines stepping into the backfield to produce 90 yards and a score. Whoever Adazzio has at his disposal will be facing a Louisville defense that ranks second-to-last in the ACC against the run, giving up 231 yards per game. That average skyrocketed after Georgia Tech produced 542 yards on the ground in a 66-31 win over the Cardinals last week.

TV: 12:30 p.m. ET, RSN, NESN. LINE: Boston College -13.5

ABOUT LOUISVILLE (2-4, 0-3 ACC): The slow start on the heels of eight straight winning seasons has some in Louisville upset about coach Bobby Petrino, who reacted this week to some of the criticisms by saying, "I haven't really experienced (a season) like this. But I do feel like I'm a good football coach and I know how to win games." While the defense searches for answers, sophomore quarterback Jawon Pass has thrown for 605 yards and four TDs over the last two weeks. The Cardinals have an ACC-low six sacks while allowing opponents to pile up 17, second-most in the conference.

ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (4-2, 1-1): Dillon's breakout game came as a freshman at Louisville last year, when he rumbled for 272 yards and four TDs to fuel a 45-42 upset win. Brown was just 5-of-17 passing that day and has completed 49.4 percent of his passes over the last three contests. Kobay White (15 catches, 258 yards, three TDs) and Jeff Smith (13, 239, three) are the top targets, while junior defensive back Hamp Cheevers has helped on the other side of the ball with three interceptions over his last five games.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Cardinals WR Dez Fitzpatrick has found the end zone in each of the last two games and had 127 receiving yards along with a TD last year against Boston College.

2. Eagles DE Wyatt Ray ranks fifth in the ACC with 5 1/2 sacks.

3. Louisville won four straight meetings prior to last year's loss.

PREDICTION: Boston College 31, Louisville 20

Preview: Pittsburgh at Notre Dame

Fresh off consecutive victories against ranked opponents, Notre Dame returns home to host Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon in its last game before its bye week. The fifth-seeded Fighting Irish passed another stiff test with flying colors last week, while the Panthers roll into South Bend after pulling off a home upset last weekend.

Running back Dexter Williams exploded for a 97-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to break open a tight game as Notre Dame outscored Virginia Tech 28-7 in the second half for a 45-23 road win. The Fighting Irish had minus-5 rushing yards on the evening before Williams broke free, but the senior found holes in the second half and wound up with 178 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries, bringing his season total to 339 total rushing yards in the two games he has played since returning from suspension. Pitt snapped a two-game losing streak by overcoming a 75-minute weather delay and a late charge from Syracuse to knock off the Orange 44-37 in overtime. “I'm happy for those guys in there. They needed that one, and they deserved that one,” Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi told reporters after the game.

TV: 2:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Notre Dame -21.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH (3-3): Narduzzi put the Syracuse game on the shoulders of his top two running backs, and the seniors responded as Qadree Ollison ran for 192 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries while Darrin Hall added 107 yards and two touchdowns on 17 attempts. There are still two major areas of concern for Pitt ahead of Saturday’s matchup with Notre Dame, however. The Panthers have had mediocre quarterback play all season, with Kenny Pickett yet to break the 200-yard passing mark in a game, and the defense is allowing 32.8 points per game, which ranks 99th nationally.

ABOUT NOTRE DAME (6-0): In addition to Williams, Notre Dame’s defense deserved a game ball last week as it forced two turnovers - including a fumble recovery for a touchdown - and had two sacks and six tackles for a loss. Quarterback Ian Book struggled at times, missing open receivers downfield on multiple occasions, but still managed to go 25-of-35 for 271 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Miles Boykin continues to be Book’s go-to target, as the 6-4 receiver has 19 catches for 261 yards and three touchdowns in his last two contests.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Book has completed at least 70 percent of his passes in three straight games.

2. PK Justin Yoon became Notre Dame’s all-time leading scorer in the win over Virginia Tech. The senior passed Allen Pinkett (320) and has 322 career points.

3. Ollison ranks 18th in the country in total rushing yards (596).

PREDICTION: Notre Dame 49, Pittsburgh 24

Preview: Georgia at LSU

Second-ranked Georgia has not been challenged often during a season-opening six-game winning streak on which it is averaging 42.8 points but figures to face a more difficult task when it visits No. 12 LSU on Saturday for a matchup in which it likely will have to lean on its ground attack. The Bulldogs average an SEC-leading 245.2 rushing yards and, despite losing Sony Michel and Nick Chubb to graduation, continue to excel thanks to numerous contributors.

“I’ve been pleased with it,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart told reporters on Tuesday when discussing his running back rotation, which includes Elijah Holyfield, D’Andre Swift, Brian Herrien and James Cook and has produced nine touchdowns while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. The Tigers look to rebound after their first loss of the season, a 27-19 setback at Florida in which they scored on their first possession but struggled offensively the rest of the way. “We felt that we beat ourselves in a lot of areas,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron told reporters on Monday. The Tigers committed just five turnovers in their first five games but the same amount in their last two contests.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Georgia -7 ½

ABOUT GEORGIA (6-0, 4-0 SEC): Holyfield leads the Bulldogs with 432 yards rushing, recording 64 and a touchdown on just six carries in last week’s victory over Vanderbilt, and Swift has run for four scores. Quarterback Jake Fromm continued his strong campaign by passing for a season-high 276 yards last week, and his 72.8 percent completion rate ranks fifth in the nation. Georgia has been just as good defensively, ranking second in the country in scoring defense (13 points per game) and has kept opponents off the scoreboard in 12 of its 24 quarters this season.

ABOUT LSU (5-1, 2-1): Running back Nick Brossette, who ran for 95 yards and two scores against Florida, is tied for first in the SEC in rushing touchdowns with eight. Quarterback Joe Burrow suffered his first loss in his sixth start last week and saw his school-record streak of 158 pass attempts without an interception end against the Gators but completed a career-high 19 passes. All-SEC linebacker Devin White averages 8.8 tackles per game, while safety Grant Delpit leads the Tigers with three interceptions, three sacks and 6 ½ tackles for loss.

EXTRA POINTS

1. LSU LB Jacob Phillips is expected to play after missing last week’s game, but G Garrett Brumfield likely will miss Saturday’s contest.

2. Georgia S Richard LeCounte leads the Bulldogs with 33 tackles, including a team-high six last week.

3. LSU K Cole Tracy ranks second in the nation with 12 field goals after converting both of his attempts last week.

Preview: Washington at Oregon

Washington senior quarterback Jake Browning played the best game of his career at Oregon two years ago, and considerably more will be at stake when Browning and the No. 7 Huskies return to Eugene to take on the No. 17 Ducks in a Pac-12 game on Saturday afternoon. Browning matched the Pac-12 single-game record with eight touchdowns in the 70-21 win against Oregon on Oct. 8, 2016, which is the most points Washington had scored since 1944.

Washington has won five in a row since a season-opening loss to No. 21 Auburn, but three teams with one loss in conference play sit directly behind the Huskies in the North Division, and one is Oregon. The Ducks had a light nonconference schedule before losing in overtime to Stanford in their Pac-12 opener. Oregon regrouped to beat California 42-24 in an impressive road victory on Sept. 29, and the Ducks have had two weeks to prepare for Washington and get healthier. Oregon defensive end Austin Faoliu missed the Cal game with a foot injury, but is expected to rejoin a defense that scored two touchdowns off turnovers against the Golden Bears.

TV: 3:30 p.m., ET, ABC. LINE: Washington -3

ABOUT WASHINGTON (5-1, 3-0 Pac-12): Huskies senior running back Myles Gaskin has as much experience against Oregon as Browning does and maybe even better results. He rushed for 155 yards and a 72-yard touchdown against the Ducks as a freshman, then came back with 197 rushing yards and a touchdown in the blowout victory in 2016. He put up another 123 rushing yards and a touchdown against Oregon last season, and enters this game after gashing UCLA for 116 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-24 win last week.

ABOUT OREGON (4-1, 1-1): Ducks junior quarterback Justin Herbert made his first college start against Washington two years ago and it went surprisingly well, considering the one-sided outcome. He missed the Washington game last season after breaking his collarbone against California, but his stock has continued to rise among NFL scouts, and this will be a huge test against a Washington defense that ranks third in the nation in scoring defense (13.7 points). Browning has a talented receiver in Aaron Fuller, but so does Herbert in Dillon Mitchell, who caught 14 passes for 239 yards in the loss to Stanford.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Washington coach Chris Petersen was an assistant at Oregon from 1995-2000, and then moved on to Boise State, where he led the Broncos to BCS bowl games in 2006 and 2009.

2. Huskies S Taylor Rapp leads the nation with three fumble recoveries.

3. Oregon has outscored its opponents 145-47 in the first half this season.

Preview: Central Florida at Memphis

Ninth-ranked Central Florida has yet to be challenged in the first five games of the season and could face its toughest test Saturday afternoon at Memphis in a rematch of the 2017 American Athletic Conference championship game. The Knights have extended their nation-best winning streak to 18 games while winning by an average of 31.2 points over the first five contests of 2018, including a 48-20 triumph against SMU last weekend.

UCF has won 11 of the 12 previous meetings, including a 62-55 double-overtime victory in the title game after a 40-13 win over the Tigers in the regular season last year - both games in Orlando, Fla. - and are averaging 48.6 points along with 574.4 yards per game in 2018. “I feel like it’s going to be a really good game, high energy with a lot of people flying around,” Central Florida sophomore receiver Tre Nixon told the Orlando Sentinel. “I think we’ll be ready for it, and I think they’ll be ready for it, too.” Memphis has won three of its last four games, including a 55-14 triumph against Connecticut last week, and averages 7.7 yards per attempt on the ground while ranking eighth in the nation in rushing overall (274.5 per game) as it approaches the showdown at home. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere and we’re going to be ready to go,” Tigers junior running back Darrell Henderson, averaging a nation-best 11.8 yards per carry, told reporters. “We got to get revenge.”

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2 or ABC. LINE: UCF -4.5

ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (5-0, 2-0 American): Junior running back Adrian Killins Jr. had a season-high 113 yards, along with his fourth touchdown on the ground, in last week’s victory over SMU and the Knights average 6.1 yards per carry. Junior quarterback McKenzie Milton continues to put up big numbers, throwing for 15 TDs and rushing for another five, and is completing almost 60 percent of his passes. Milton has plenty of impressive targets with sophomores Gabriel Davis (27 catches, 365 yards, four TDs) and Nixon (20, 312, three), along with junior Dredrick Snelson (21, 269, two), leading the way while UCF is eighth in the nation in turnover margin (plus-1.40).

ABOUT MEMPHIS (4-2, 1-2): Henderson needs just 66 rushing yards to reach the 1,000 for the second straight season and has run for at least 174 yards in four of the first six games while scoring 12 touchdowns on the ground (14 total). Junior Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed for 161 yards last week and junior quarterback Brady White was 16-of-18 through the air for 239 yards against UConn as coach Mike Norvell told reporters: “We played like the Memphis Tigers, and that’s what I was most pleased with.” The Tigers boast eight players with at least 99 receiving yards, led by sophomore Damonte Coxie (30 catches, 466 yards, four TDs) and junior John Pop Williams (19, 209, one).

EXTRA POINTS

1. Memphis junior RB Tony Pollard is averaging 31.8 yards per kickoff return with six of them brought back for touchdowns in his career.

Preview: Texas A&M at South Carolina

Texas A&M will try to stay perfect against South Carolina when the 22th-ranked Aggies visit the Gamecocks on Saturday for an SEC showdown. The Aggies have won all four of the previous meetings in the all-time series, which began in 2014.


The Aggies are coming off a 20-14 overtime win over Kentucky – their second consecutive narrow victory in SEC play and first triumph over a ranked opponent since 2016. To pick up their third straight win, they’ll have to deal with a South Carolina team that rallied around backup quarterback Michael Scarnecchia in his first career start for a 37-35 win over Missouri last week. The Gamecocks could turn back to Jake Bentley if his knee improves enough by Saturday, but Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher doesn’t expect either quarterback to make a big difference in the gameplan. “They’re not going to change the whole system,” Fisher told reporters. “What the guy did last week was very good and was very similar to what they did before. One guy may have more quarterback runs than the other. I think they’re much more similar than they are different. But both guys are excellent players.”

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network. LINE: Texas A&M -2


ABOUT TEXAS A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC): The Aggies are one of five FBS teams that rank in the top 25 in the nation in both total offense and total defense. Quarterback Kellen Mond has put up big numbers, passing for 1,447 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 230 yards and four scores, and Trayveon Williams has recorded seven TDs while averaging 120 yards on the ground. The Aggies’ defense has been excellent against the run, holding opponents to an SEC-best 82.5 rushing yards per game, and ranks second nationally in third-down defense as it has allowed conversions just 22.9 percent of the time.

ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA (3-2, 2-2): Whoever starts at quarterback for the Gamecocks will have a couple of dangerous receivers at their disposal in Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards, who have combined for eight touchdown receptions. South Carolina has had a tough time versus the run but has been outstanding against the pass and shut down Missouri’s Drew Lock in the second half last week. Like the Aggies, the Gamecocks have been excellent on third down, holding opponents to a 25 percent conversion rate - fourth-best in the nation.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Texas A&M TE Jace Sternberger’s five touchdown receptions are tied for the most by an FBS tight end.

2. South Carolina has lost seven straight against ranked opponents since recording a victory over Tennessee in 2016.

3. The Aggies have scored at least 14 points in 33 consecutive games, the longest streak in the SEC and third-longest among Power 5 schools behind Oklahoma (46) and West Virginia (37).

Preview: Purdue at Illinois

After a 0-3 start, Purdue has found some footing, beating nationally-ranked Boston College and Nebraska by double digits. Now, following a week off, the Boilermakers will look to maintain that momentum Saturday when it visits Illinois in the Illini’s homecoming game.


Purdue opened with tough losses to Northwestern, Eastern Michigan and Missouri by a combined eight points but has followed with convincing wins over the Eagles (30-13) and Cornhuskers (42-28). Credit the Boilermakers’ aerial attack for the resurgence as senior David Blough has taken command at quarterback after splitting time early in the season. Blough has thrown for 1,196 yards and seven touchdowns while tossing only one interception over the last three games, including a school single-game record 572 passing yards and a Big Ten-record 590 yards of total offense against the Tigers on Sept. 15. Illinois, meanwhile, started 2-2 overall before evening its Big Ten record at 1-1 a week ago with a 38-17 win at Rutgers in its first road game of the season.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: Purdue -10.5


ABOUT PURDUE (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten): Blough ranks third in the conference and 25th nationally with 263.6 passing yards per game and his favorite target has been freshman wide receiver Rondale Moore, who leads the Big Ten and ranks second nationally with 8.2 receptions per outing while totaling 457 yards and four TDs on the season. Moore has had at least eight catches and 85 yards in four of the Boilermakers’ five games so far. Linebacker Markus Bailey has totaled a team-most 40 tackles, including 5.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks for a bend-but-don’t-break Purdue defense, which is surrendering 447.2 total yards and 26.4 points.

ABOUT ILLINOIS (3-2, 1-1): The Illini have relied on a formidable ground game which ranks third in the Big Ten and 13th nationally with 260.8 yards. Behind 137 yards from tailback Reggie Corbin and 116 from quarterback AJ Bush Jr., Illinois rolled up a season-high 330 rushing yards against Rutgers and have 11 runs of 30-or-more yards, ranking third in the FBS. Defensively, Illinois ranks 12th in the conference in points allowed (28.6) and last in yards surrendered (483.4), but tops the Big Ten and ranks fifth nationally with a 1.6 average turnover margin (plus-8), including three interceptions apiece for cornerback Jartavius Martin and linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Illinois holds a slim 44-43-6 series lead, but Purdue has won three of the last four, including a 29-10 home victory a season ago.

2. Bush, a graduate transfer who has had stops at Nebraska, Iowa Western Community College and Virginia Tech, returned against Rutgers after missing the South Florida and Penn State games with a hamstring injury, and had 205 yards of total offense while accounting for three TDs in the rout of Rutgers.

3. Purdue’s Moore also is averaging 20.7 yards per kickoff return and ranks third nationally with an average of 179.0 all-purpose yards.


PREDICTION: Purdue 37, Illinois 30

Preview: Michigan State at Penn State

Penn State has had a week off to think about a painful loss to Ohio State and nearly a year to get over another to Michigan State. The eighth-ranked Nittany Lions will attempt to move on from the loss to the Buckeyes and get a measure of revenge against the Spartans when they host Michigan State on Saturday in a Big Ten tilt.

Penn State, which lost 27-26 to Ohio State on Sept. 29 before getting last weekend off, was held scoreless in the fourth quarter against the Spartans last year before dropping a 27-24 decision on a last-second field goal. "I know we did not finish the game the way anybody wants us to finish the game," Franklin told reporters this week while referencing the Ohio State loss. "I get that. But okay, we understand that. We study that. We learn from that. We grow from that." The Spartans will come in eager to bounce back as well after an upset 29-19 loss at home to Northwestern that dropped them out of the national rankings. Michigan State enters with the top run defense in the country (33.8 yards per game) but is 13th in the Big Ten - 109th among FBS teams - in rushing offense (123 yards per game).

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Penn State -13.5

ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten): The Spartans allowed the Wildcats to pile up 373 yards through the air last week and Brian Lewerke (31-of-51, 329 yards and a touchdown) was unable to keep up as his team was held under 20 points for the second time this year. "We kind of take that personally," Lewerke told reporters Monday. "Our offense is kind of getting torn down and we realize we haven't been performing up to par, so I take that personally, being a leader on the offense, and I think all of us did a great job of communicating today [at a players-only meeting]." Lewerke - who has six TDs and six interceptions after posting 20 and seven, respectively, last year - relies heavily on Felton Davis III (23 catches, 374 yards) and Cody White (20, 300).

ABOUT PENN STATE (4-1, 1-1): The intriguing matchup in this contest features quarterback Trace McSorley, who had a career-high 175 rushing yards versus Ohio State, against the Spartans' tough run defense. However, McSorley's top two regular-season passing games in his standout career have come against Michigan State, as he threw for 381 yards and three TDs in last year's loss and 376 along with four scores the previous season as a sophomore. Freshman star KJ Hamler had 138 receiving yards and a TD against the Buckeyes before exiting the game due to a hit to the head, but Franklin told reporters Hamler will play Saturday.

EXTRA POINTS

1. McSorley needs 40 passing yards to become the all-time leader in program history, moving past Christian Hackenberg (8,457).

2. Spartans K Matt Coghlin is a Big Ten-leading 8-of-8 on field goals, while Nittany Lions K Jake Pinegar (3-of-6) is last.

3. Michigan State has won four of the last five meetings but lost 45-12 in its previous visit to Happy Valley in 2016.

PREDICTION: Penn State 32, Michigan State 20

Preview: Baylor at Texas

The hype surrounding the Texas football program is bigger than it has been in years thanks to a dramatic win over rival Oklahoma last week and steady improvement under head coach Tom Herman. The 14th-ranked Longhorns will try to avoid a letdown and stay on pace for a Big 12 title when they host Baylor on Saturday.

Herman is trying to rebuild Texas into a national championship contender and has the team on a five-game winning streak following a season-opening loss to Maryland, and the 48-45 triumph over Oklahoma last week is just another step. "I said to them (at Maryland) this game will not define us -- how we respond to it will," Herman told reporters. "I told them that about this Oklahoma game. That game won't define us. How we respond to it will. This is not the ultimate goal." The Bears are trying to rebuild themselves into a contender as well and responded to a loss at the Sooners by holding off Kansas State 37-34 last week - providing a little momentum going into a two-game stretch at Texas and No. 6 West Virginia. "Texas is a really good team," Baylor coach Matt Rhule told reporters. "Our guys have to come out and play very confident. Texas is playing well. They have three top 25 wins. They are a team that is clicking on all cylinders. For us, we have to completely focus on ourselves. We will make sure our guys are ready and confident."

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Texas -14

ABOUT BAYLOR (4-2, 2-1 Big 12): The Bears were ripped 66-33 at Oklahoma in Week 5, and bouncing back with the win over Kansas State the following week marked a step in the right direction for the program. "Winning games in the fourth quarter comes down to maturity, comes down to confidence, it comes down to trust," Rhule told reporters. "Trusting in yourself, trusting in the guys around you. And I just didn't sense any panic. I sensed a team that was just determined to find a way to win the game and kept coming back and kept battling." The star of the win was senior wide receiver Jalen Hurd, who totaled 11 catches for 135 yards and a score and added 56 rushing yards and a score on the ground - his second consecutive game with a rushing TD.

ABOUT TEXAS (5-1, 3-0): The Longhorns' ascent has coincided with the rise of quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who put his name in the Heisman Trophy conversation with his five touchdowns - three rushing - in the win over Oklahoma. "I think that every week, regardless of the outcome or the stat line or the score, we feel as an offense we're continuing to get better within our assignments and within what we're trying to do," Ehlinger told reporters. "I think it's all a credit to our coaches and the hard work that our guys are putting in and understanding that just because you beat a team and scored 48 points doesn't mean that you've arrived or that you've played a perfect game." Ehlinger is getting plenty of help from wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who threw his first career TD pass in addition to hauling in nine catches for a career-high 133 yards last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Ehlinger is enjoying a school-record streak of 163 consecutive pass attempts without an interception.

2. Baylor is averaging 499.5 yards of total offense - 12th in the FBS.

3. The Longhorns earned a 38-7 win at the Bears last season in the first Big 12 meeting between Herman and Rhule.

Preview: Miami at Virginia

After an emotional week that culminated with a come-from-behind victory over arch rival Florida State, No. 15 Miami gets back into action Saturday on the road at Virginia. The Cavaliers are rested and well prepared, coming off a bye, while the Hurricanes need to come down off their high to focus on a Virginia team that gave the Canes all they could handle a year ago, nearly pulling off the upset before Miami stormed back -- just as it did against Florida State.

The Hurricanes showed grit and determination last week but perhaps even more important to Miami and head coach Mark Richt was the continued maturity of redshirt freshman quarterback N'Kosi Perry, who shook off a lackluster first half, showing the confidence to come back with three touchdowns in the final two quarters to help the Canes' 21-point comeback. Perry passed his first test but now he faces another heading on the road for a big ACC Coastal Division tussle. The Cavaliers had an extra week to think about their disappointing performance their last time out, a 34-21 loss to North Carolina State, and they are anxious to turn things around at home, where they have beaten Miami three times in the last four meetings. "Our players know they're capable of beating top teams, they just have to finish," Cavaliers third-year coach Bronco Mendenhall told reporters. "That's the task, to play well through the majority of the game and add the other component to close it out."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Miami -6.5.

ABOUT MIAMI (5-1, 2-0 ACC): Perry struggled under pressure from the Florida State defense and made some poor choices at times -- he completed just 13 of 32 passes for 204 yards and a career-high four touchdowns -- but he came up big when it counted with the three TD strikes in the second half. Defense continues be the driving force behind Miami's success, but the unit did have some issues slowing the Seminoles before roaring back in the third quarter with back-to-back takeaways to fuel the comeback and set the tone for the rousing victory. Spearheading the charge for the Hurricanes is a defensive front, led by Gerald Willis, that is quick getting to the backfield and Miami wound up with six sacks and 12 tackles for loss against Florida State while holding the Seminoles to 45 yards of offense in the second half.

ABOUT VIRGINIA (3-2, 1-1): Quarterback Bryce Perkins (11 touchdowns, four interceptions) is a dual threat but he ran for just 24 yards on 14 attempts against N.C. State and his running skills may be needed as he figures to be under pressure unless his front line can do a better job with pass protection (12 sacks allowed). Perkins will look to get the ball into the hands of senior Olamide Zaccheaus, who has 501 yards receiving this season and is the only active player in the country with at least 2,000 career receiving yards (2,196) and 450 career rushing yards (490). The Cavaliers' defense proved vulnerable against N.C. State and it almost certainly will try to pressure Perry into ill-advised throws like Florida State did last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Hurricanes lead this series 9-6, with Miami winning three straight and four of the last five.

2. Virginia has rushed for 959 yards, only the third time since 2000 that the Cavaliers have rushed for at least 900 yards in five games.

3. Miami announced following the win over Florida State that star WR Ahmmon Richards, who had been out with a knee injury, would not play again due to a career-ending neck injury.

Preview: Missouri at Alabama

Top-ranked Alabama looks to keep rolling up the points when it hosts Missouri in an SEC contest on Saturday. The Crimson Tide are coming off a season-high point total in a 65-31 victory over Arkansas to raise their national-best average to 56 points per game.

Alabama has topped 50 points in five of its six games and coach Nick Saban insisted that the Tigers -- who have allowed an average of 40 while losing their past two games -- are a tough opponent for his club. "This is by far the best offensive team we've played to this point," Saban said during a press conference. "Certainly a very good front seven on defense, difficult to run the ball against. ... They've lost two close games to two really good teams, so this is by far the biggest challenge we've had all season long." Missouri was outclassed by SEC foes Georgia and South Carolina in its past two games and coach Barry Odom is attempting to keep his team's spirits up. "Believe me, we're not walking around singing and dancing like everything's alright," Odom told reporters. "We've got a lot of ball to play. I think we can be a lot better team and I look forward to doing it with this group."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Alabama -28

ABOUT MISSOURI (3-2, 0-2 SEC): The Tigers are averaging 39 points per game behind senior quarterback Drew Lock, who has passed for 1,487 yards and 11 touchdowns against four interceptions. Sophomore Larry Rountree III (383 yards) and junior Damarea Crockett (353) have been productive on the ground with Crockett piling up 154 yards for his seventh career 100-yard outing in last weekend's 37-35 loss to South Carolina. Senior linebacker Terez Hall posted a season-best 11 tackles against the Gamecocks and his 32 stops rank second on the squad behind junior linebacker Cale Garrett (38).

ABOUT ALABAMA (6-0, 3-0): Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is emerging as the Heisman Trophy favorite after reaching the midway point of the season with 18 touchdowns against zero interceptions, a 75.2 percent completion rate and 1,495 passing yards. Five different players have over 300 receiving yards and three of them average more than 20 yards per catch with sophomore receiver Jerry Jeudy leading the team in receptions (23), receiving yardage (558), average (24.3) and touchdown catches (eight). The defense has returned four interceptions for scores and racked up 43 tackles for loss, including 19 sacks (senior defensive end Isaiah Buggs has a team-leading six).

EXTRA POINTS

1. This is the first meeting since Alabama defeated Missouri 42-13 in the 2014 SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.

2. Tigers WR Emanuel Hall (team-leading 430 receiving yards) will miss his second straight game with hamstring and groin injuries, while fellow senior Nate Brown (12 receptions) is expected to play after missing the South Carolina game with a groin injury.

3. Crimson Tide junior CB Trevon Diggs (broken foot) is out indefinitely after being injured against Arkansas.

Preview: Houston at East Carolina

High-scoring Houston will get a tough test when it travels to East Carolina for an American Athletic Conference contest on Saturday night. Pirates senior defensive end Nate Harvey leads the country in sacks per game and will try to disrupt a Houston offense averaging 50 points.

The Cougars, who lead the American in total offense and scoring offense, have allowed one sack in five games. Harvey and East Carolina already own more sacks (19) than they did in all of 2017 (11) and have recorded at least seven tackles for loss in five consecutive games. The Pirates' offense has struggled, scoring 19 points combined in two league games and forcing coach Scottie Montgomery to reopen the quarterback competition during practice this week. "Let me say it clear that we are not benching anybody, but we are trying to see the guy who is going to go out and perform at the highest level to give the rest of the team the opportunity to win," Montgomery told the media Monday.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: Houston -16

ABOUT HOUSTON (4-1, 1-0 American): Junior quarterback D'Eriq King continues to lead a balanced offense, throwing for 272.4 yards and 18 touchdowns and rushing for another 44.8 yards and seven scores. Patrick Carr leads the ground game - which averages 264.8 yards - with 58.4 per contest and a touchdown while Marquez Stevenson has 29 catches for 432 yards and six scores. Junior Ed Oliver has 40 tackles and a team-high 6.5 tackles for loss with eight quarterback hurries after a 13-tackle performance against Tulsa.

ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (2-3, 0-2): Sophomore quarterback Reid Herring has started all five games but freshmen Kingsley Ifedi and Holton Ahlers have each seen action in the past two games. Herring has thrown for 1,273 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions but is not effective as a runner while Ahlers has been mostly used as a running quarterback with four rushing scores. Harvey leads the country with 1.5 sacks and 2.8 tackles for loss per contest after recording a sack and three tackles for loss in a lopsided loss to Temple.

EXTRA POINTS

1. East Carolina has improved its defense, allowing 30.2 points and 340.2 yards after giving up 45 points and 541.7 yards last season.

2. Houston is the only team in the country ranked in the top 15 in both passing offense (15th with 317.4 yards) and rushing offense (tied 10th with 264.8 yards).

3. King and West Virginia's Will Grier are the only quarterbacks in the country with at least three passing touchdowns in every game this season.

Preview: UCLA at California

Two teams seeking their first Pac-12 victory meet Saturday when UCLA visits California, which has dropped back-to-back games following a 3-0 start. Cal committed four second-half turnovers in last week’s 24-17 loss to Arizona, while UCLA remained winless despite posting an improved effort in a 31-24 loss to Washington.

Cal started its third different quarterback of the season in the loss to Arizona as Brandon McIlwain played the entire game and was 32-for-43 for a career-best 315 yards and added 20 carries for 107 yards and two scores. McIlwain has seven turnovers in the past two games but is expected to get the start again Saturday against a young UCLA team that is 0-5 for the first time since 1943. Bruins coach Chip Kelly was encouraged by the play of Dorian Thompson-Robinson after the freshman quarterback set career highs with 272 passing yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Washington. Thompson-Robinson figures to be tested by an impressive Cal defense that has allowed 331.4 yards of total offense and 24.2 points per game.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network. LINE: Cal -7

ABOUT UCLA (0-5, 0-2 Pac-12): Senior defensive back Adarius Pickett had a career-high 16 tackles against Washington and ranks second in the conference with an average of 12.2 tackles per game. “Pick just keeps getting better each week,” Kelly told reporters. “He brings a lot of energy, a lot of juice. He’s a really, really smart football player.” Junior Joshua Kelley has emerged as the Bruins’ lead running back after averaging 6.3 yards on 20 carries against the Huskies and setting career highs for both receiving yards (39) and rushing yards (125).

ABOUT CAL (3-2, 0-2): The Bears’ opportunistic defense is led by linebackers Evan Weaver and Jordan Kunaszyk, a senior who ranks first in the Pac-12 and second in the nation in solo tackles per game (7.8) and is 24 shy of 200 for his career. Ashtyn Davis ranks first in the Pac-12 in kick return yardage at 28.0 yards per return, but the Bears need more consistency on offense to capitalize on the good field position. Running back Patrick Laird has struggled to build on his success from last season but could have ample opportunities against the vulnerable UCLA run defense.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Cal has won its last eight games against UCLA in Berkeley dating back to 2000.

2. UCLA’s previous five opponents are a combined 25-3 entering this week.

3. Cal starting S Jaylinn Hawkins will be out for the first half due to a targeting penalty in last week’s game against Arizona.

Preview: Virginia Tech at North Carolina

Teams looking to improve their offensive efficiency meet Saturday when North Carolina hosts Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels have been off since committing six turnovers - three returned for touchdowns - and going a combined 3-of-16 on third and fourth down in a 47-10 loss to Miami (Fla.) on Sept. 27, while Hokies quarterback Ryan Willis led an offense that was perhaps too pass-happy and had to settle for field goals twice after reaching the Notre Dame 1-yard line last weekend.



Chazz Surratt, making his season debut after serving a three-game suspension for selling team-issued shoes, relieved North Carolina starting quarterback Nathan Elliott early and rushed for a touchdown, but was intercepted three times in just 10 throws. "We gave up 24 points on turnovers and most of those were on third-and-long,” Tar Heels coach Larry Fedora told reporters. “They did exactly what we thought they were going to do. They got us in some long-yardage situations and then brought a lot of heat on third-and-long, and we didn't handle it very well at all." Willis was 31-for-52 - the most passes attempted in a game during coach Justin Fuente’s three-year reign -- for 309 yards with two TDs and one interception in the 45-23 loss to the Irish in his second start since replacing injured two-year starter Josh Jackson. “The fumble (that was returned for a touchdown) was not good. I just thought he was doing too much,” Fuente said. “(Throwing the ball 50 times) certainly is not the way we'd like for it to be designed. … We probably knew we were going to throw the ball a little bit more this week, and then when you get behind, it distorts that number a little bit more, too.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: Virginia Tech -6.


ABOUT VIRGINIA TECH (3-2, 2-0 ACC): The Hokies trailed 17-16 early in the third quarter, holding the Fighting Irish to minus-5 rushing yards when Dexter Williams broke a 97-yard TD sparking an Irish offense that scored touchdowns on four of their first five second-half possessions to put the game away. Hokies sophomore Damon Hazelton tied a career high with 12 catches for 131 yards and a receiving TD in his fifth consecutive game - tying the school mark set by Isaiah Ford in 2015-16. Willis, who has completed 48-of-79 passes for 641 yards and five touchdowns in his two starts, is the first Tech quarterback since Logan Thomas in 2013 to throw for at least 300 yards in back-to-back games.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (1-3, 1-1): In the Miami loss, Surratt and Elliott combined to complete 20-of-35 passes for 110 yards with Elliott losing three fumbles to offset Surratt’s errant passes. Fedora has not announced his starter against the Hokies; Surratt completed four passes for 10 yards in his season debut after completing 58.5 percent of his passes with 13 total TDs (eight passing) against three interceptions last season; while Elliott has completed 58.1 percent of his 129 passes for 773 yards with three TDs and four interceptions this season. Undoubtedly, they will be looking to hand it to Antonio Williams, who has 281 yards and a 6.5 yards-per-carry average, and throw it to wide receiver Anthony Ratliff-Williams, who has 13 catches for 263 yards - good for a 20.2 yards-per-catch average.



EXTRA POINTS
1. Virginia Tech has won the last two contests with North Carolina under Fuente by a combined score of 93-10, and the Hokies have won 11 of 14 since meeting annually beginning in 2004.

2. Hazelton, who sat out the 2017 season after transferring from Ball State, tied the second-best single-game reception performance by an ACC player this season. It also tied his personal best of 12 catches he set with the Cardinals against Toledo on Nov. 16, 2016.

3. The 52 pass attempts by Willis were the most by a Tech team since Michael Brewer threw 56 times against East Carolina in 2014. In fact, Tech has won just one time under Fuente when throwing the ball at least 40 times in a game - Jerod Evans threw 40 times in the Hokies' 39-36 win over Pitt in 2016.

Preview: West Virginia at Iowa State

West Virginia looks to keep its undefeated season alive when it travels to face Iowa State on Saturday night in a Big 12 Conference contest. The sixth-ranked Mountaineers come off a 38-22 victory over Kansas last weekend, while the Cyclones earned their first conference win of the season, 48-42 at then-No. 21 Oklahoma State.

West Virginia has one of the most explosive offenses in the country, led by senior quarterback Will Grier (1,819 yards, 71.2 completion percentage, 21 touchdowns), who ranks third in the country in total offense per game with 358.4 yards. Grier has a host of targets to look for when he drops back, including David Sills V (30 catches, 368 yards, six TDs), Marcus Simms (26, 490, two) and Gary Jennings Jr. (26, 364, six), which keeps defenses from locking down on one receiver. Iowa State will have a different -- and more dynamic -- look with true freshman Brock Purdy making his first start under center after he came off the sideline to produce 318 passing yards, 84 rushing yards and five total touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) against Oklahoma City. Cyclones coach Matt Campbell is uncertain about the status of running back David Montgomery (334 yards, three TDs), who missed last week's game with an upper arm injury suffered in the loss to TCU Sept. 29.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: West Virginia -6.5

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (5-0. 3-0 Big 12): While the Mountaineers' offense is garnering the headlines -- and rightfully so -- the defense for coach Dana Holgorsen has also been outstanding, ranking 25th in the country in allowing 18.6 points per game. West Virginia is No. 4 nationally in tackles for loss (9.6 per game), led by linebacker David Long Jr. (9.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks), linebacker Dylan Tonkery (6.0, 1.0) and cornerback Derrek Pitts Jr. (4.0, 1.0). Putting that kind of pressure on a freshman making his first start at quarterback will be key, but the Mountaineers will also need to be cognizant of Purdy's ability to get outside and make plays on the run.

ABOUT IOWA STATE (2-3, 1-2): If Montgomery is unable to play this week, the Cyclones will have plenty of options to try to run the ball including Purdy, who is already second on the team in rushing yards with 83. Freshman Johnnie Lang started in place of Montgomery against Oklahoma State and carried three times for six yards, while sophomore Kene Nwangwu had 10 carries for 49 yards in the game. Another option will be junior Sheldon Croney Jr., who had four carries for 20 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown, against the Cowboys, though playing against high-powered West Virginia may necessitate the Cyclones going to the air more to keep up.

EXTRA POINTS

1. West Virginia ranks fourth in the country in third-down conversions (56.9 percent).

2. Iowa State is 5-0 against Big 12 opponents in October the last two seasons, including three wins over ranked foes.

3. The Cyclones broke the school record with 16.0 tackles for loss against Oklahoma State and tied the school mark with 7.0 sacks.

PREDICTION: West Virginia 42, Iowa State 28

Preview: Wisconsin at Michigan

No. 13 Michigan looks to continue its winning ways when it hosts 10th-ranked Wisconsin in a Big Ten showdown on Saturday. The Wolverines cruised past Maryland 42-21 in Week 6 to extend their winning streak to five games, and they hope to move into the Top-10 by knocking off the Badgers for the second straight time in Ann Arbor in the first contest of a tough three-game stretch which includes Michigan State and eighth-ranked Penn State.

"Our confidence level is through the roof and we get to show what we can do in primetime against a very good Wisconsin team," Michigan safety Tyree Kinnel told reporters. "Just keep getting better every week, that's the goal and I think we'll be ready for these big games." Wisconsin took care of business at home against Nebraska, 41-24, to stretch its conference regular-season winning streak to 18 games. The Badgers racked up 370 yards against the Cornhuskers to remain the frontrunners for their third straight Big Ten West Division title and hope to solve a Michigan defense which is ranked first nationally in total defense (230.5 yard per game). "They do a great job with the design of it and (defensive coordinator Don) Brown is a heckuva football coach," Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst told reporters. "They have a really good scheme… and they're playing really well right now."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Michigan -7.5.

ABOUT WISCONSIN (4-1, 2-0 Big Ten): Jonathan Taylor rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns, including an 88-yard score, in the win over the Cornhuskers. Starting free safety Scott Nelson will miss the first half against the Wolverines after he was ejected for targeting in the third quarter of the win against Nebraska. Wisconsin could be without three starters on defense as cornerbacks Deron Harrell (concussion) and Cesar Williams (leg) are questionable while defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk is a game-time decision after suffering a left leg injury against Nebraska.

ABOUT MICHIGAN (5-1, 3-0): Shea Patterson had one of the best games of his Michigan career as he completed 19-of-27 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns in the win over Maryland. Tight end Zach Gentry hauled in seven passes for 112 yards against the Terrapins while Karan Higdon rushed for 103 to top the century mark for the fourth straight game. Defensive end Rashan Gary (shoulder) and running back Chris Evans (hamstring) are likely to return to the lineup after missing last weekend's contest, and nose tackle Aubrey Solomon could be back following a five-game absence due to knee surgery.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Michigan has won six of the last seven home meetings with Wisconsin.

2. Taylor has rushed for 200 or more yards in five of his 19 career games.

3. The Wolverines have scored over 40 points in four straight home games.

PREDICTION: Michigan 24, Wisconsin 14

Preview: Ole Miss at Arkansas

Ole Miss tries to snap a four-game losing streak to Arkansas when it visits the Razorbacks in an SEC contest on Saturday, packing an offense that has averaged 57.8 points in its four victories. The Rebels set school records with 826 total yards and 517 passing yards in last week's 70-21 victory over Louisiana Monroe but sophomore linebacker Mohamed Sanogo and the defense could also have a say in the outcome.

"We want to go over there and hit them in the mouth and say, 'We're Ole Miss.' That's the plan," Sanogo, who leads the team with 44 tackles, told the Daily Journal of Tupelo. The Rebels, whose losses came to No. 1 Alabama 62-7 and at No. 12 LSU 45-16, have dropped the last three games against the Razorbacks by a total of six points but could have a field day against the No. 110 pass defense nationally that yields 271.3 yards per game. Arkansas fell to Alabama 65-31 last week for its fifth straight loss, allowing 40.2 points during that span, but coach Chad Morris is optimistic the Razorbacks can turn it around. "They’re not going to quit I can promise you that,'' Morris told reporters. "There’s nobody in that building over there that’s going to quit. They’ll continue to fight and that’s been our message from the get-go. We’re focused on us and we’re focused on getting a foundation on this program that’s going to last forever. You do that by learning how to finish strong. ..."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network. LINE: Ole Miss -6.5

ABOUT OLE MISS (4-2, 0-2 SEC): Senior quarterback Jordan Ta’amu has an SEC-most 1,911 passing yards (fifth nationally) with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions while his 15.9 yards per competition is sixth in the country. His three favorite wide receivers -- junior A.J. Brown (586 yards, four TDs), sophomore D.K. Metcalf (520, five) and senior DaMarkus Lodge (386, one) are first, third and sixth in the conference in receiving yards. Junior running back Scottie Phillips is benefiting from the Rebels' potent passing attack with an SEC-most eight rushing touchdowns and his 637 yards on the ground are third in the conference and 11th nationally.

ABOUT ARKANSAS (1-5, 0-3): Junior quarterback Ty Storey has struggled during the losing streak, completing 52.2 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and five interceptions. The Razorbacks average an SEC-worst 146.8 rushing yards with sophomore Rakeem Boyd (294 yards) and junior Devwah Whaley (234, two touchdowns) leading the way. Junior linebacker De'Jon Harris leads the SEC and is 12th in the nation with 64 tackles.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Ole Miss defense has recorded at least two turnovers in five straight games for the first time since 2014.

2. Arkansas sophomore WR De'Vion Warren leads the SEC with 30.6 yards per kick return and recorded his first career touchdown catch last week.

3. The Rebels are tied for fifth nationally with nine scoring drives of less than a minute with seven coming in two plays or fewer.

Preview: Colorado at USC

No. 18 Colorado is commanding its share of national attention as one of 11 FBS unbeatens and the only one located west of the Mississippi River. The Buffaloes, though, are bracing for their first Pac-12 road test, which comes Saturday night at USC.


The spotlight has shone the brightest on CU sophomore receiver Laviska Shenault, who’s become the first wideout to garner two Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week awards in the same season and is starting to gain some darkhorse Heisman Trophy traction. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Shenault leads the nation in receptions (10.2 per game) and receiving yards (141.6) while scoring 12 touchdowns, including four on the ground as the Buffaloes have effectively utilized him all over the offensive formation. Shenault scored all four of the Buffaloes’ TDs, including two on the ground, a week ago in a hard-fought 28-21 win over visiting Arizona State while catching a career-high 13 passes for 127 yards. USC, meanwhile, has rebounded from a 1-2 start with narrow Pac-12 wins over Washington State (39-36) and Arizona (24-20) and is only a half-game behind Colorado in the South Division standings.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: USC -7


ABOUT COLORADO (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12): Shenault’s sensational start has overshadowed the strong play of several other Buffs, most notably junior quarterback Steven Montez, who ranks second in the conference in overall passing (284.0 yards), passing efficiency (174.24 rating) and total offense (309.0 yards). Montez has had a hand in 14 total TDs, including three rushing, while completing 75.2 percent of his passes and throwing only two interceptions in 153 attempts. Led by linebacker Nate Landman (9.0 tackles) and defensive end Mustafa Johnson (9 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks), Colorado ranks sixth in the conference in total defense (355.0 yards) and third in scoring defense (18.4 points).

ABOUT USC (3-2, 2-1): The Trojans have the added advantage of having last week’s bye to prepare as they seek their 10th straight win over a South Division foe – a run that started in 2016. Freshman quarterback JT Daniels has had some early growing pains, throwing three interceptions and only one scoring pass in his first three games but he’s thrown for 438 yards and three TDs over the last two wins without a pick. Senior linebackers Cameron Smith (9.4 tackles), Porter Gustin (Pac-12-most 5.5 sacks) lead a defense which is allowing 26.2 points and 381.2 yards per outing.


EXTRA POINTS

1. USC has won all 12 meetings between the schools, including 38-24 and 21-17 victories the last two seasons.

2. The Trojans have won their last 18 games in the Los Angeles Coliseum, including 13 straight against Pac-12 foes.

3. In already matching its 2017 win total, Colorado is 5-0 for the first time since 1998.

#4 GOLDEN DART (ML=6/1)

#6 SUMMER CASTLE (ML=5/2)
#5 GIACALLURE (ML=4/1)


GOLDEN DART - Last raced at Arlington with a poor post position. I swiped some data from The Brain, and his computer says the inside should be a big help to this one today. PRUE - Winebaugh moves this one here to Hawthorne from Arlington. Looking at the horse's PP lines, he has shown the ability to win at multiple race tracks. I think the shorter trip will help this gelding stay the trip. The improved Equibase speed figs over the last 3 races is strong. Winebaugh drops him in this race fit and ready to go. The 100 last race speed figure looks strong in black and white. SUMMER CASTLE - This thoroughbred coming off a good contest in the last thirty days is a serious competitor in my opinion. GIACALLURE - I'm optimistic this gelding will run well today. Last work was 2nd fastest of the day, which tells me he's sharp right now. Last ran at Arlington and finished eighth. Reviewing his PP lines, I see he was close at the wire, within five of the winner.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 HALF OF MANHATTAN (ML=7/2), #10 HE'S DANN GOOD (ML=8/1), #14 HURRICANE FORCE (ML=8/1),

HALF OF MANHATTAN - I'm foretelling a lackluster attempt out of him this time out. HE'S DANN GOOD - Don't think this vulnerable equine will make an impact in today's event. That last speed figure was mediocre when compared with today's Equibase class figure. HURRICANE FORCE - Finished ninth last out. Would have to advance to hit the board in today's race. Don't think this racer will make a winning move in today's event. That last rating was mediocre when compared with today's class rating.

#1 NYALETI (IRE) (ML=5/1)


FATALE BERE (FR) - Speed ratings on the grass point to this horse as a legit contender. Has the best in the field for this dist/surf. Recent speed ratings show solid pattern of improvement. This one likes to win at different racing venues. The switch in venue today may be a wake up call. RUSHING FALL - This trainer brings horses to the turf ready to win, winning over 20 pct of the time under similar conditions. Looking at this filly's running lines, I see she's almost always in the money. In this race here, this horse has notched the highest Equibase speed figure at the distance, so I have to give her the edge. This one likes to win at different tracks. The switch in venue today may be a wake up call. NYALETI (IRE) - Great average class rating on this horse. Should have the power to run well on the turf. A little change in scenery has got to do this one well. Reading the past performances, it seems like she likes to visit the winner's circle at different racing venues. This animal gets shipped over here after running well at a major foreign racing venue. A good sign in my opinion. Finished fifth at GOO last out. Was close at the end and at odds of 5/1 in this race, she looks like a possible contender. This filly's last figure is lofty enough to score here, I'll wager on her right back in today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 MISSION IMPASSIBLE (IRE) (ML=6/1), #4 DADDY IS A LEGEND (ML=6/1), #7 CAPLA TEMPTRESS (IRE) (ML=8/1),

MISSION IMPASSIBLE (IRE) - In all probability won't make much of an impression this time around. DADDY IS A LEGEND - This rallier should have a rough go of it to get there in time with the lack of pace in this race. Disappointing speed fig in the last race at Saratoga at 1 1/8 miles. Don't believe this pony will improve too much in today's race. CAPLA TEMPTRESS (IRE) - Showed very little in the last race. Really don't see any chance of a reversal of fortune today.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - RUSHING FALL - I like to check out the TrackMaster Platinum PPs to look for the top thoroughbred in earnings per start. This fine animal looks good to me so I'm making a prime investment on her.

BULLYS SURPRIZE looks very good to best this field. Going on blinkers can produce noticeable speed boosts. Could beat this group of horses in this race given the 55 speed figure recorded in his last outing. He has put up respectable figs under today's conditions and ought to fare well versus this group. ZOOMIN EFFORT - His 58 average has this gelding with among the most respectable Equibase speed figs in this event. Will probably compete very well in the pace battle which bodes well with this group of horses. MS FAMOUS DASH BACK - Looks solid for the conditions of this race today, showing solid figs in short races as of late. Should go off at a decent number and has some positive angles going for her.

# 4 DEEP EXPLORER 3/1

# 11 TURBO STREET (AUS) 2/1

# 12 LAWLESS WEST 4/1

DEEP EXPLORER looks to be a very strong contender. Could beat this group of animals given the 102 Equibase Speed Figure earned in his last outing. He has been racing quite well recently while recording strong Equibase Speed Figures. Should finish in the money without a doubt. TURBO STREET (AUS) - Solid average speed figs in turf route races make this equine a definite contender. Has been travelling in the most competitive company of the group recently. LAWLESS WEST - Is a contender - given the 99 Equibase Speed Figure from his most recent race. Over time, this handler has a competitive ROI at this distance/surface.
