Preview: Georgia Tech at Miami
Gracenote
Oct 12, 2017

Miami got a huge monkey off its back last Saturday, snapping its seven-game losing streak to rival Florida State with a last-second 24-20 victory. Now the 10th-ranked Hurricanes look to keep their undefeated record intact with Georgia Tech, fresh off a bye, coming to town in an early battle for first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division.

The celebration following Miami's big triumph over Florida State was tempered by the disappointing news a day later that star running back Mark Walton would need season-ending ankle surgery. The Hurricanes are thin at running back -- quarterback Malik Rosier ranks second on the team with 37 carries -- but sophomore Travis Homer has shown flashes when given the opportunity, averaging 8.3 yards on his 25 carries (207 yards) this season. "I just know that I have to come out here and work as hard as I can," Homer said. "I hope I have showed the coaches that I am ready to come out here and do what he did." Georgia Tech's defense, ranked sixth in the nation in total yards allowed (260 per game), dodges a bullet with the absence of Walton, but the Yellow Jackets, who have yet to play a true road game this season, have lost their last four at Miami.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Miami -5.5

ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (3-1, 2-0 ACC): Offensively, the Yellow Jackets' spread-option attack ranks among the nation's top 10 in eight different statistical categories and first in the ACC in seven of them, including rushing (second, 396 yards per game), time of possession (first, 36:39) and third-down conversion percentage (fourth, 53.3). Running the show is junior quarterback TaQuon Marshall, who has emerged as a dynamic threat in his four career starts this season, leading the nation in scoring (13.5 points per game) although he is far more dangerous as a runner (team-high 523 yards, nine TDs) than a passer (333 yards, four TDs). The defense has done its part to get the ball in Marshall's hands more often, as Georgia Tech has forced 26 three-and-outs on its 49 defensive series this season (53.1 percent).

ABOUT MIAMI (4-0, 2-0): With Walton out and unproven Homer in at running back, the Hurricanes figure to open things up more through the air, where Rosier has stepped up over the last few weeks, making big plays when needed in wins over Florida State and Duke. His top target, senior Braxton Berrios, has become a playmaker, earning ACC Receiver of the Week honors for his performance against the Seminoles, when he hauled in a career-high eight passes for 90 yards and two scores to become the first Hurricane since Reggie Wayne (2000) to catch a TD pass in each of his first four games of the season and the first Hurricane with a touchdown grab in five consecutive games (dating to 2016) since Leonard Hankerson in 2010. The defense won't have to worry as much about Georgia Tech's passing game as the Yellow Jackets have thrown the ball just 33 times for 333 yards, but Miami has been vulnerable against the run (148 yards per game) and the unit will pay dearly for missed tackles against Tech's explosive ground attack.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Yellow Jackets are the only team in the nation that hasn't played a true road game as it opened the season in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against Tennessee in nearby Atlanta, just 1.5 miles from Georgia Tech, then played three straight at home (a matchup at Central Florida on Sept. 16 was canceled due to Hurricane Irma).

2. Walton is third in the ACC in rushing yards per game (107.0), ranked behind only Marshall (130.8 YPG) and Georgia Tech RB KirVonte Benson (119.0 YPG).

3. The Yellow Jackets and Hurricanes have split the first 22 games in the all-time series (11-11) although Georgia Tech is just 2-7 under coach Paul Johnson, including a 35-21 loss to Miami a year ago in Mark Richt's first ACC game as the Hurricanes coach.

Preview: Oklahoma vs. Texas
Gracenote
Oct 11, 2017

With an impressive road win at Ohio State and a 14-game winning streak in its hip pocket, No. 12 Oklahoma looked well on its way to a berth in the College Football Playoff before a stunning 38-31 home loss last Saturday to 31 1/2 -point underdog Iowa State. Now the Sooners have to quickly refocus for Saturday's annual Red River Showdown with Texas at the Cotton Bowl.

The Longhorns, not the Sooners, come into this one atop the Big 12 standings along with TCU at 2-0 following a wild 40-34 double overtime victory over Kansas State. But Oklahoma needs only to look back to 2015 when it was, ironically, upset by the Longhorns (24-17) to know that there is still a lot of football left to be played before the four teams for the College Football Playoff are selected. Oklahoma rebounded to win seven straight before falling to Clemson in the CFP that season. "If you look at the big picture, we're still in it," quarterback Baker Mayfield said. "We have 2015 to show for that. For us, it's not even about that right now. We've got to take care of business and win the Big 12."

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Oklahoma -7.5

ABOUT OKLAHOMA (4-1, 1-1 Big 12): Mayfield, who leads the nation in completion percentage (74.6), passing efficiency rating (214.1) and passing yards per attempt (12.2), will be making a rare fourth start in the Red River Showdown. He's 1-2, leading the Sooners to a 45-40 victory last year, but he has put up very pedestrian numbers (66-of-103, 838 yards, 4 TDs, 3 interceptions) in those three starts and he could be without top big-play threat, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who injured his left shoulder diving for a touchdown against Iowa State. The big question is can defensive coordinator Mike Stoops find a way to fix a defense that has allowed an average of 486 yards and 39.5 points over its last two games against Baylor and Iowa State?

ABOUT TEXAS (3-2, 2-0): The Longhorns have bounced back from an embarrassing 51-41 season-opening home loss to Maryland to win three of their last four games with the lone defeat coming at No. 13 USC, 27-24, in double overtime. Head coach Tom Herman was coy about who his starting quarterback would be after sophomore starter Shane Buechele missed the Kansas State victory with a sprained ankle but freshman Sam Ehlinger, who passed for 380 yards and rushed for 107 more Saturday, has proven to be a valuable backup. After allowing 51 points in the opening loss, the Longhorn defense has tightened up and allowed an average of 17 points over the last four games with junior safety DeShon Elliott (nation-best five interceptions) and linebacker Malik Jefferson (43 tackles) leading the way.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Herman and Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley will be making their head coaching debuts in the Red River Showdown, marking the first time since 1947 -- when Blair Cherry's Longhorns beat Bud Wilkinson's Sooners, 34-14 -- that the rivalry has featured new coaches on both sidelines.

2. Texas holds a 61-45-5 lead in the series, which began in 1900 and has been played at the Texas State Fair annually since 1929.

3. Oklahoma has scored at least 30 points in a school-record 15 consecutive games.

Preview: Baylor at Oklahoma State
Gracenote
Oct 11, 2017

Two games into the Big 12 Conference season, TCU and Texas are 2-0 with six other teams sitting at 1-1. No. 14 Oklahoma State finds itself among that .500 cluster as it prepares to host winless Baylor in its homecoming game Saturday.


The Cowboys had a bye last weekend following their 41-34 win Sept. 30 at Texas Tech. The previous Saturday, Oklahoma State suffered its first loss, falling 44-31 at home to the now seventh-ranked Horned Frogs. “We don’t have a lot of margin for error right now,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said Monday at his weekly news conference. “Other teams get beat up, too, and that’s just a part of college football. The things that sway games in this league would be turnovers, special teams play, injuries and quarterback play.” Baylor, which also is coming off a bye, has struggled with just about all the above in falling to FCS-foe Liberty (17-10), Texas-San Antonio (17-10) and Duke (34-20), and Oklahoma (49-41) and Kansas State (33-20) to open Big 12 play.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, FS1. LINE: Oklahoma State -25.5


ABOUT BAYLOR (0-5, 0-2 Big 12): The reeling Bears are at least getting some needed reinforcements back this week, headlined by running back JaMychal Hasty and tight end Ish Wainwright, who are returning from multiple-week injury absences, and running back Terence Williams, who has been reinstated following a one-week suspension. Senior quarterback Anu Solomon, however, is still sidelined with a concussion and has been replaced by sophomore Zach Smith, who has started the last three games and has thrown for 1,033 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions. Linebacker Clay Johnston is averaging a team-best 8.6 tackles for a defense which ranks last in the conference against the run (234.2 yards allowed per game) and is second-worst in points allowed (36.2).

ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (4-1, 1-1): The Cowboys continue to ride quarterback Mason Rudolph, who has thrown for at least 300 yards in six straight games, leads the Big 12 in total offense (393.8 yards) and is pacing the nation in points responsible for (126). Rudolph has one of the nation’s deepest receiving corps, led by senior James Washington, who is averaging a Big 12-best 129.4 yards. Defensively, linebacker Justin Phillips has 21 total tackles and has returned two interceptions for TDs to pace a unit which is surrendering 26 points and 369.6 yards.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Oklahoma State has won 16 of the 21 Big 12 matchups between the teams, but Baylor has won three straight, including a 35-24 home victory last season.

2. The Cowboys are tied for second nationally with an average of 46.8 points per game while the Bears bring up the rear in the Big 12 at 27.2 points.

3. Both teams are on the negative side of the turnover ledger with Oklahoma State sitting at minus-1 and Baylor at minus-5.


PREDICTION: Oklahoma State 45, Baylor 31
