Preview: San Diego State at Air Force

Gracenote
Sep 20, 2017

The player who has garnered all three of the Mountain West Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week awards this season is the same player who leads the nation in rushing at 196 yards per game. And that’s why San Diego State’s Rashaad Penny has the undivided attention of host Air Force this week with the 25th-ranked Aztecs set to visit Saturday night.


"(Penny) has speed. He’s 220 pounds. He’s got vision. He’s decisive in the hole,” Air Force defensive coordinator Steve Russ told the Colorado Springs Gazette earlier this week. "... Not taking anything away from anybody, but I think Rashaad Penny is probably the best back in the country. … And that offense knows exactly how to use him." San Diego State certainly did last Saturday night as Penny had 206 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in the Aztecs’ 20-17 win over then-No. 19 Stanford, but coach Rocky Long says his team must refocus quickly with the Mountain West opener at hand Saturday. "I’m worried about Air Force," Long said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "I don’t have a feel or an opinion on how big of a victory that was for our fans or the media or anyone else. I’ve moved on, and I have more important things to do than worry about (how the win was perceived nationally)."
TV: 7 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: San Diego State -3.5


ABOUT SAN DIEGO STATE (3-0, 0-0 Mountain West): The win over the Cardinal was the 24th in the last 27 games overall for the Aztecs, who are seeking their third straight Mountain West title. Penny also is tops nationally with 774 total all-purpose yards and is tied for second in the FBS with six TDs while quarterback Christian Chapman has completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 480 yards, four scores and one interception. Cornerback Ron Smith has a team-leading 17 total tackles and two interceptions for a defense which ranks 18th nationally in allowing 91.7 rushing yards per outing.
ABOUT AIR FORCE (1-1, 0-0): The Falcons are playing their second nationally-ranked foe in as many weeks after falling 29-13 at No. 7 Michigan last Saturday. As usual, the Air Force triple-option ranks among the nation’s top rushing attacks at 320.5 yards behind tailback Tim McVey (80.0 yards) and quarterback Arion Worthman (167.0 total yards). Defensively, linebacker Jack Flor (19 total tackles) and safety Marquis Griffin (16) lead a unit which has allowed only one offensive TD so far – a 36-yard run by Michigan with 1:02 remaining last week.


EXTRA POINTS
1. Air Force leads the series 19-15, but San Diego State has won six straight, including a 27-24 victory in their last meeting which came in the 2015 Mountain West Championship Game in San Diego.
2. Penny has six career kick-return touchdowns – including a 99-yard kickoff runback Sept. 9 at Arizona State – which is one shy of the FBS record.
3. Under coach Troy Calhoun, the Falcons are 5-15 against ranked foes with their last win coming a year ago against No. 20 Boise State (27-20) at Falcon Stadium.

Preview: Penn State at Iowa

Gracenote
Sep 20, 2017

No. 4 Penn State faces a major test in its first road game of the season when it visits fellow unbeaten Iowa on Saturday night in the Big Ten opener for both teams. The Nittany Lions steamrolled through their first three opponents at home by a combined score of 141-14, and their bevy of offensive stars shined brightly in last week's rout of Georgia State.

Trace McSorley threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns while running back Saquon Barkley amassed 226 total yards - including a career-high 142 through the air - and the defense pitched its second shutout. Barkley is averaging 8.1 yards per carry, 21.9 per catch and 26.8 per kickoff return, presenting the Hawkeyes with a unique challenge that has coach Kirk Ferentz scrambling for superlatives. "I'm trying to think of the last time we played a back like this," Ferentz told reporters. "I'm thinking of the backs I've seen in my time in the conference. ... He just does so many things well. He's a powerful, strong, fast athlete. He's a really good football player. Run, pass, you name it, he's a threat. He's just a really impressive football player." The Hawkeyes also have a workhorse at running back in Akrum Wadley (60 carries, second in the Big Ten) and Nathan Stanley's 10 TD passes are first in the league, one ahead of McSorley.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Penn State -12.5

ABOUT PENN STATE (3-0): McSorley is 10th in the country in passing efficiency (184.1), has increased his completion percentage (67.1) nearly 10 points from last season, is gaining six yards a carry and now has even more support in the form of versatile backup Tommy Stevens, who has passing, running and receiving scores through the first three games. "What's nice about [Stevens] is he can play like a receiver, he can play like a running back, he can play like a quarterback, and we've used him in almost all of those ways," coach James Franklin told reporters. "I don't think there's any doubt that it creates stress on a defense." Franklin also has to be pleased with the emergence of big-play receiver Saeed Blacknall, who was held without a catch in the first two games but had 64 receiving yards and a score against Georgia State.

ABOUT IOWA (3-0): Since throwing an interception on the Hawkeyes' second drive of the season, Stanley has thrown his 10 TDs without a pick and is completing 61.4 percent of his passes. Wadley, who had 234 yards through the first two games before sitting out much of last week's 31-14 win over North Texas with an ankle injury, has been practicing and is expected to play Saturday. Iowa ranks 12th among Big Ten teams with 3.8 yards a rush, a troubling trend given the fact that it was outgained 359-30 on the ground in last year's 41-14 loss at Penn State.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Hawkeyes WR Nick Easley is tied for third in the Big Ten with 16 receptions while Wadley ranks second with 25.3 yards per catch.

2. Nittany Lions WR DaeSean Hamilton has 170 career receptions, nine shy of the school's all-time leader (Deon Butler, 2005-08).

3. Penn State has won three straight meetings after losing eight of the previous nine.

Fresh off their dramatic last-second 26-20 triumph over Tennessee, 22nd-ranked Florida heads to Kentucky on Saturday for their first SEC road game of the season. The Wildcats come off their fourth straight victory over South Carolina, but they are on the wrong end of the streak this time around as the Gators have won the last 30 meetings with Kentucky, the longest active win streak in the NCAA.

For Kentucky, toppling Florida would more than end 30 years of futility, it would be the beginning of earning respect in the SEC. "There's always the steps that we need to take to push forward," Wildcats coach Mark Stoops said at his weekly press conference. "We don't dodge those. We embrace those challenges and we'll do the very best we can." But while Kentucky may be playing with a chip on its shoulder, Florida has something to prove as well after two very flawed performances this season. The Gators have high hopes that Feleipe Franks' 63-yard game-winning touchdown pass to Tyrie Cleveland as time expired against Tennessee will give the team momentum and jumpstart an offense that has had its up and downs with a redshirt freshman quarterback at the helm. Both teams may be missing key defenders as Florida cornerback Duke Dawson and Kentucky linebacker Jordan Jones appear unlikely to suit up.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network. LINE: Florida -3

ABOUT FLORIDA (1-1, 1-0 SEC): Before connecting with Cleveland for the play of the game against Tennessee, Franks (18-for-28, 212 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) was not having a day to remember, missing "six critical plays," according to coach Jim McElwain. Franks was held in check most of the afternoon with short play calls but he will likely have to go downfield more this week unless the Gators -- already hampered by the absence of their top runner Jordan Scarlett, one of nine Gators still under suspension -- can find holes in a Wildcats' defense that doesn't give up much on the ground. The Gators defense wore down in the fourth quarter against Tennessee, giving up 231 yards (10.5 yards per play) after allowing just 211 yards and three points in the first three quarters.

ABOUT KENTUCKY (3-0, 1-0): Dual-threat quarterback Stephen Johnson will give a Gators' defense that has had problems with shoddy tackling something to think about, as he threw for 169 yards and ran for another 74 against South Carolina, including a 54-yard scramble. Kentucky wound up amassing 219 yards rushing, although starting tailback Benny Snell Jr., averaged just 3.2 yards on his 32 carries (102 yards). The Wildcats' staunch run defense has made opponents one-dimensional this season, limiting them to an SEC-low 57 yards rushing per game.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Florida hasn't rushed for a touchdown since its victory over Georgia last Oct. 29, a stretch of eight games.

2. Kentucky is looking to go 4-0 for the first time since 2008.

3. Kentucky is 10-4 since its 45-7 loss at Florida in Week 2 last season.

PREDICTION: Florida 17, Kentucky 16

Preview: Auburn at Missouri

Auburn has had a tough time getting things clicking on offense the past two games, but a trip to face a struggling Missouri defense on Saturday might provide just the remedy. No. 16 Auburn aims to open conference play with a road victory when the two Tigers tangle for the first time since the 2013 SEC Championship game.


Auburn suffered a bit of a hangover last Saturday after a disappointing 14-6 loss to No. 2 Clemson the previous week, as the Tigers had a tough time putting away Mercer for a 24-10 win. Auburn has a perfect opportunity to get things right on offense against a Missouri team that ranks last in the SEC in total defense (442.7 yards per game) and has surrendered at least 30 points in each of its first three contests. "Obviously, we're about to go on a long run with all the SEC teams, so it's going to be a challenge each week,” Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham told reporters. “Our defense, they're playing lights out. Hats off to them. They're truly a great defense. I know offensively, we just want to help a little bit more.” Missouri fired defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross after two games but continued to struggle in every facet of the game in a 35-3 loss to visiting Purdue last week.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: Auburn -19.5


ABOUT AUBURN (2-1, 0-0 SEC): Auburn moved the ball at will against Mercer, outgaining the Bears 510-246, but five turnovers kept the Tigers from pulling away. Stidham picked apart Mercer’s secondary, going 32-for-37 for 364 yards, and should have similar success against a struggling Missouri defense. Auburn has had no such troubles on defense, allowing only 3.18 yards per play - best in the nation - and a total of 605 yards through three games.
ABOUT MISSOURI (1-2, 0-1): Missouri’s defense has been dismal, and the offense followed suit against Purdue. The Tigers gained only 203 total yards against the Boilermakers, and they’ve totaled 16 points in the past two games after a 72-43 win over Missouri State in their opener. Quarterback Drew Lock passed for 521 yards and seven touchdowns against Missouri State, but has totaled just 378 yards and one touchdown with four interceptions over the past two contests.


EXTRA POINTS
1. Auburn RB Kerryon Johnson is expected to play after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury.
2. Missouri has allowed 2.67 tackles for loss per game (fourth-fewest nationally) and 0.67 sacks per game (tied for ninth-fewest in the nation).
3. Auburn is the only team in the nation ranked in the top 12 in total defense (second), scoring defense (11th), and passing defense (ninth).


PREDICTION: Auburn 35, Missouri 10
