No. 21 Iowa State had a chance to control its own destiny in the race for a spot in the Big 12 championship game but suffered a disappointing loss at West Virginia last week. The Cyclones will try to bounce back by securing their third win over a top-15 opponent when they host No. 15 Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Iowa State, which knocked off Oklahoma and TCU during a four-game winning streak to put itself in first place in the Big 12, could not muster the same effort at West Virginia last week in a 20-16 setback but quickly turned the page. "These kids keep grinding away, and I really appreciate that about them," Cyclones coach Matt Campbell told reporters. "I expect nothing less. They were really good (the day after the loss), and I think (they are) continuing to grow and understand what it takes to truly be successful." The Cowboys are coming off their own setback after a wild Bedlam showdown against rival Oklahoma saw them fall 62-52. "The competitive nature of this sport, it's difficult when you have games like that," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy told reporters. "There are a lot of emotions involved. There's nobody in this stadium that wants to compete and win more than me, but I've been in this long enough to know that when we get what we're asking for out of our players, we as a staff have to have respect for that. We just came up a little bit short."
TV: Noon, ET, ABC. LINE: Oklahoma State -6.5
ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (7-2, 4-2 Big 12): The Cowboys came away from the Bedlam loss feeling confident in the way they played and confident in their leadership moving forward. "I think leadership is going to be huge this week," center Brad Lundblade told reporters after the loss. "It takes more leadership after you lose than it does after you win, honestly. We have great leadership and all different types of leaders in all of the different positions groups, so I have no doubt that we'll be ready to go next week." One leader is quarterback Mason Rudolph, who threw for 448 yards and five TDs in the loss and guides an offense second in the FBS in scoring average at 45.3 points.
ABOUT IOWA STATE (6-3, 4-2): The Cyclones are going to need to generate more offense to keep up with the Cowboys and they failed to reach 20 points in either of their last two contests. Senior Kyle Kempt, who took over at quarterback after a loss to Texas in the Big 12 opener and guided the team to wins over Oklahoma and TCU, is completing 66.9 percent of his passes with 10 TDs and three interceptions but only found the end zone once last week. Kempt and the offense are hoping for a bounce-back performance from the Iowa State defense, which was carved up for 524 yards at West Virginia after limiting TCU to 307 in the previous contest.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Iowa State OL Josh Knipfel (ankle) is questionable.
2. Oklahoma State RB Justice Hill ran for 228 yards last week and collected 100 or more yards rushing in five of six Big 12 games.
3. The Cowboys took the last five in the series, including two at the Cyclones.

Preview: Rutgers at Penn State

Nov 8, 2017
No. 13 Penn State has seen a promising season derailed by back-to-back narrow road losses, and it will try to take out its frustration at home against an improving Rutgers squad on Saturday. Following a late collapse in a damaging one-point loss at Ohio State, the Nittany Lions fell on a last-second field goal at Michigan State last Saturday, tumbling from No. 2 in the country to a likely afterthought for the College Football Playoff.
"The fact that we've lost by a total of four points in the last two games just doesn't really mean much to us," senior wide receiver DeAndre Thompkins told reporters. "The games are in the past. Losses are in the past. Wins are in the past. What matters now is Rutgers." A defense that entered the game against the Buckeyes as the best in the nation in terms of scoring has given up 1,003 total yards in the losses, and stars Trace McSorley (three interceptions last week) and Saquon Barkley (107 rushing yards on 35 carries during the losing streak) have struggled to keep pace. Those two helped Penn State outgain Rutgers by a stunning 549-87 margin in a 39-0 win last season, the Lions' 10th straight victory in the series. Since a 56-0 loss at Ohio State, the Scarlet Knights have won three of their last four, including a 31-24 triumph over Maryland last week.
TV: Noon ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Penn State -31
ABOUT RUTGERS (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten): Gus Edwards ran for 109 yards against the Terrapins and hauled in the decisive 23-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter as the Scarlet Knights pulled within two victories of becoming bowl eligible for the first time since 2014. "We have been saying that, that we can get into a bowl game," running back Robert Martin - who had 69 yards and a TD - told reporters. "We are the only people who believe in ourselves." Junior quarterback Giovanni Rescigno has thrown for over 100 yards in back-to-back games for the first time this season after amassing 107 and a TD pass against Maryland.
ABOUT PENN STATE (7-2, 4-2): Barkley has fewer than 20 rushes in three of his last four games - including a season low-tying 14 last week - and his production in the passing game has leveled off as well. "Obviously, we want to get the ball in Saquon's hands as much as we possibly can," head coach James Franklin said at his weekly press conference. "But we won't force it. And once again, if people are taking so much time keeping Saquon from getting the ball, it creates other opportunities. I think Trace threw for about 400 yards last week. That's going to happen when you overcompensate, it creates opportunities in other areas." McSorley actually had 381 yards - a season high - but his three interceptions represented the most he has thrown in a game since the Rose Bowl last season.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Scarlet Knights DB Kiy Hester has three interceptions - two of which he returned for TDs - over a five-game span.
2. Nittany Lions WR DaeSean Hamilton has five TD catches and three 100-yard efforts over his last five games.
3. McSorley needs 140 passing yards to surpass Matt McGloin (6,390) and move into third place on the school's all-time list.\

Preview: North Carolina State at Boston College

Nov 8, 2017
No. 24 North Carolina State came so close to a signature victory at home last week and now must regroup in a hurry to avoid another ACC defeat when it visits a surging Boston College team Saturday afternoon. The Wolfpack were within three points early in the fourth quarter and were driving down seven in the final minute against then-No. 5 Clemson before a late interception doomed their chances at an upset and a spot atop the ACC's Atlantic Division.
There was some rumbling of poor officiating and even an accusation that the Tigers may have cheated with the use of laptops on the sidelines, but N.C. State has been forced to reset and turn its attention to the Eagles. "It's a team we didn't play well against last year," coach Dave Doeren told the media while referencing a 21-14 loss to Boston College in 2016. "They beat us and we didn't play well. We had had a lot of penalties, took touchdowns off the board on offense and defensively we gave up a halfback pass at the end of the game and a throwback play on a two-point play. They executed well, and we didn't." The Eagles have been executing extremely well of late with three straight wins while averaging 40.3 points. Freshman A.J. Dillon continued his surge with 149 rushing yards and a touchdown in a Friday night win over Florida State prior to a bye week.
TV: Noon ET, ABC. LINE: North Carolina State -3
ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (6-3, 4-1 ACC): Junior Ryan Finley is second in the ACC in passing yards (2,519), completions (220) and completion percentage (65.7) after he was 31-for-50 for 338 yards in last week's loss. His favorite target is sophomore Kelvin Harmon, who is second in the conference with 799 receiving yards, including an average of 124.5 over his last four games. Senior defensive end Bradley Chubb was held without a sack or a share of a sack for just the third time this season against Clemson, but he leads the league with 7.5 on the season and owns two sacks and a forced fumble in two previous games versus Boston College.
ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (5-4, 3-3): After sharing the workload early in the season, Dillon has emerged as a true No. 1 back and is averaging 133 yards over a five-game span, during which he has found the end zone six times. Redshirt freshman quarterback Anthony Brown has five TD passes against one interception during the winning streak, but he's completed 30 percent of his passes or less in two of those contests. All-ACC defensive lineman Harold Landry missed the Florida State win with an ankle injury and coach Steve Addazio told reporters this week that Landry's status was "unclear."
EXTRA POINTS
1. The Eagles lead the series 9-5, including a 6-2 advantage at home.
2. Finley has thrown all three of his interceptions this season in the last two games - both losses.
3. The Eagles entered last year's meeting with a 12-game ACC losing streak, but they are 4-5 in conference play ever since.

Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
The co-leaders of the Big Ten’s East Division clash when No. 16 Michigan State travels to face No. 11 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon. The Spartans pulled into a tie with the Buckeyes when they upset Penn State 27-24 at home last weekend while Ohio State was dominated by Iowa 55-24 on the road.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio’s squad usually relies on a hard-nosed defense and a relentless running game, but quarterback Brian Lewerke has been red hot over the last two weeks, throwing for a school-record 445 yards two weeks ago before settling for an even 400 in the win over the Nittany Lions. Not that the Spartans aren’t tough defensively, ranking third in the country in rushing defense - allowing just 87 yards a game. They’ll be tested by the Buckeyes, though, who are 20th in the nation in rushing offense at 235.3 yards a contest and are led by freshman J.K. Dobbins’ 914 yards. While Urban Meyer’s squad is averaging a Big Ten-best 43.8 points and 549 yards of offense, Michigan State has been able to hold Ohio State in check in recent years while holding the Buckeyes to 17 or fewer points in four of their last six meetings.
TV: Noon ET, Fox. LINE: Ohio State -15.5
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten): While Lewerke is rightfully getting a lot of credit for the surge in the Spartans' passing game, the team's young receiving corps also deserves some kudos for their play as the team has uncovered a new wrinkle to its offense. Darrell Stewart Jr. had 11 catches for 98 yards and freshman Cody White added nine for 165 yards and two touchdowns while Felton Davis III registered eight receptions for 95 yards and a pair of scores against Northwestern. It was Davis as the dominant pass catcher with 12 grabs for 181 yards and a score while seven other players had receptions against Penn State, showing the Spartans' depth and the difficult task the Ohio State defense will have shutting down a suddenly red-hot passing game.
ABOUT OHIO STATE (7-2, 5-1): There were a lot of position groups to blame after the blowout loss to Iowa, but one that came under a lot of scrutiny was the Buckeyes' linebackers. Starters Chris Worley, Dante Booker and Jerome Baker had trouble covering Iowa tight ends, who caught four touchdowns in the contest, and simply didn't play up to the level they expect of themselves. The trio of two seniors and one junior (Baker) must raise their level of play against Michigan State, which has had big rushing days against Ohio State in the past and now boasts a running quarterback in Lewerke that the Buckeyes will have to keep a constant eye on.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Sophomore LB Joe Bachie continues to be Mr. Everything for the Michigan State defense, leading the team with 77 tackles and two forced fumbles, ranking second in tackles for loss (7.5) and tying for third in sacks (3).
2. Ohio State ranks eighth in the country in tackles for loss with 74, led by DL Nick Bosa's 10.5 and DE Sam Hubbard's 6.5.
3. In the six regular-season meetings between the two schools since 2008, the visiting team has won each time.

While first-year Indiana coach Tom Allen can take a certain amount of comfort in how relatively competitive his team has been during Big Ten play, second-year coach Lovie Smith's young Illinois squad has given him little reason to believe it can stop its long conference losing streak. The only two Big Ten teams still looking for their first win in league action face each other Saturday when the Hoosiers visit the Fighting Illini.
Indiana may be in the midst of a four-game losing streak, but the first three setbacks during that stretch came by a combined 18 points - including a seven-point defeat against No. 22 Michigan and an eight-point loss at No. 16 Michigan State. The Hoosiers were at it again for a while last weekend, trailing third-ranked Wisconsin by seven early in the fourth quarter before the Badgers rolled off 21 unanswered points over the final 10:15 to pull away 45-17. Illinois, which has started a FBS-high and school-record 16 true freshmen this season, has failed to score more than 17 points in all but one conference game thus far and has dropped nine straight Big Ten battles dating back to last season. The Illini suffered their seventh straight loss overall this season in a 29-10 decision at Purdue last weekend - their sixth double-digit defeat over that span.
TV: Noon ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Indiana -9.
ABOUT INDIANA (3-6, 0-6 Big Ten): Richard Lagow, who started the first four games of the season, got the start last week after freshman Peyton Ramsey (leg) was injured two games ago and is expected to keep the job versus Illinois after throwing for 226 yards and two touchdowns versus the Badgers. Simmie Cobbs Jr. is tied for first in the conference with 59 receptions and tied for seventh with six touchdown catches, while fellow junior wideout Luke Timian ranks third in the Big Ten with 54 receptions. Safety Chase Dutra recorded 10 or more stops for the third time in four weeks with a career-high 15 against Wisconsin, while Allen applauded the effort of linebackers Tegray Scales (12 tackles) and Chris Covington (nine) - each of whom played all 80 defensive snaps.
ABOUT ILLINOIS (2-7, 0-6): Cam Thomas saw his first extended action under center in place of Jeff George Jr. last week, finishing 10-of-20 for 159 yards while rushing 14 times for 30 yards en route to becoming only the fourth Illinois true freshman to start a game at quarterback in program history. Ricky Smalling extended his streak of hauling in at least one 20-yard reception to five straight games and leads the team with 415 yards receiving; his 16.6 yards per catch is the second-best mark among FBS true freshmen. With leading rusher Mike Epstein (foot) likely done for the season and second-leading rusher Ra'Von Bonner (concussion) missing the last two games, Kendrick Foster has amassed 139 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries against Wisconsin and Purdue.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Indiana is the only FBS program that has faced three top-five opponents and one of two teams to face five ranked foes this season.
2. The Illini are tied for first in the country with 14 forced fumbles and rank eighth in FBS with three blocked kicks.
3. Cobbs (T-13th) and Timian (26th) are one of four sets of teammates to rank inside the top 30 in receptions nationally.

While the top spot in the SEC East is already accounted for, South Carolina still has some bowl jockeying to do as it hosts conference rival Florida on Saturday afternoon. The Gamecocks were worthy opponents in last week's 24-10 loss to No. 1 Georgia and have two winnable games ahead before wrapping up their regular-season schedule against powerhouse Clemson.
Will Muschamp's crew couldn't do much on offense against the vaunted Bulldogs - not many teams have - but the South Carolina defense was impressive in its own right, limiting Georgia to its second-lowest point total of the season. The Bulldogs needed 53 carries to amass 242 yards on the ground, and relied on a pair of TD passes from Jake Fromm to remain unbeaten on the season. "We made Jake Fromm play quarterback," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said afterward. "And I compliment Jake: He played extremely well." That's something the Gators can't say; they've dropped four straight and have surrendered a whopping 88 points in back-to-back losses to Georgia and Missouri.
TV: Noon ET, CBS. LINE: South Carolina -7
ABOUT FLORIDA (3-5, 3-4 SEC): Things couldn't get much worse in Gainesville, with interim head coach Randy Shannon watching the Gators come out flat one week after Jim McElwain was fired following the 42-7 loss to the Bulldogs. If that weren't enough, linebacker David Reese lambasted his team following the Tigers defeat, telling reporters: "It's sometimes disappointing when everybody doesn't want to come together and just play for each other. That's sad to see. We've still got a lot to play for. Me personally and our defense, we want to play for those guys. We can't have appearances like we just had. That's unacceptable." Left guard Brett Heggie will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a leg injury in the loss to Missouri.
ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA (6-3, 4-3): It won't help their 2017 bowl prospects, but wide receiver Deebo Samuel announced last weekend he'll be returning to the Gamecocks next season after suffering a setback in his recovery from a fractured fibula that limited him to three games this season. Tight end Hayden Hurst was named a semifinalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, given to the most outstanding player who began his collegiate career as a walk-on; he has 30 catches for 421 yards and two touchdowns and posted a 7-for-93 line in the loss to the Bulldogs. Quarterback Jake Bentley will look to get back on track after throwing just one touchdown pass against three interceptions over his last three games.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Bentley ranks fourth in the SEC in passing yards (1,986).
2. The Gamecocks have allowed foes to convert 45.5 percent of their third-down chances, 115th among FBS teams.
3. Shannon has tabbed QB Malik Zaire to make his second consecutive start.

LSU has played much better football since the upset loss to Troy and looks to finish the regular season with three straight victories, starting with an SEC matchup against visiting Arkansas on Saturday in the Battle for the Golden Boot. The 25th-ranked Tigers followed up the 24-21 loss to Troy with three consecutive wins and gave No. 1 Alabama all it could handle before succumbing in a 14-point loss last week.
“I’m excited about this football team,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron told reporters. “I’m excited to be in the locker room before the game, during the game and after the game. Love their attitude, love the way they held their head up high.” The Tigers have outgained their opponents in eight of nine games, including last week when they accumulated 306 yards against Alabama, and will need another strong performance against a desperate Arkansas team. The Razorbacks have won two straight by one point, including a 39-38 non-conference victory over Coastal Carolina last week, and need at least two victories in the final three contests to become bowl eligible. Arkansas is in the middle of pack offensively in the SEC, but has given up at least 37 points in all five league games and averaged 43.2 against in the last five contests overall.
TV: Noon ET, ESPN. LINE: LSU -16.5
ABOUT ARKANSAS (4-5, 1-4 SEC): Senior quarterback Austin Allen, who threw for 3,430 yards last season, could return after missing the last four games with a shoulder injury but freshman Cole Kelley has played admirably (59.6 percent completion percentage, eight TDs, three interceptions). Junior wide receiver Jonathan Nance is the top target no matter who is under center with 33 catches, 497 yards and five TD receptions. The Razorbacks boast a balanced rushing attack, led by sophomore Devwah Whaley (428 yards, four TDs) and senior David Williams (425, five).
ABOUT LSU (6-3, 3-2): Senior Danny Etling completed 12-of-26 passes for 137 yards and an interception after connecting on 58.5 percent of his tosses with four TDs and no picks during the team’s three-game winning streak. Junior Derrius Guice boasts 782 yards and six TDs on the ground to move into sixth on the school’s all-time list (2,605) while senior Darrel Williams is next with 559 yards and six scores. Senior receiver D.J. Chark is Etling’s top option through the air with 25 receptions for 588 yards for the Tigers, who are averaging 25.4 points to rank 10th in the league.
EXTRA POINTS
1. LSU LB Arden Key is tied with Gabe Northern for third in school history with 21 sacks and two away from second.
2. The Razorbacks are 14th and last in the SEC in sacks (12) and in sacks allowed (28).
3. The Tigers have won 12 of the 20 Battles for the Golden Boot and are 38-22-2 all-time versus Arkansas.

Preview: Nebraska at Minnesota

Nov 8, 2017
At certain points this season Nebraska and Minnesota had reason to believe they would be able to at least qualify for a bowl game. With both programs facing an uphill battle the rest of the way to achieve that goal, the Cornhuskers and Golden Gophers square off in Minneapolis on Saturday in what amounts to be a postseason elimination game.
Nebraska blew a golden opportunity to put itself within one game of bowl eligibility last weekend, failing to hold a fourth-quarter lead or finish off a potential go-ahead scoring drive late in regulation en route to a 27-24 overtime loss to Northwestern. Instead, the Cornhuskers, who need to win one of their final two games - No. 13 Penn State and Iowa - in addition to this contest to reach six victories, face the strong possibility of their second losing season in three years under coach Mike Riley. Minnesota started the season with three straight wins under new coach P.J. Fleck, but it has since dropped five of six, with only a home win versus West division cellar-dweller Illinois over that stretch. The Gophers, who are coming off their worst showing of the season surrendering a season-high 371 rushing yards in a 33-10 defeat at Michigan last weekend, end their season with matchups against Northwestern and third-ranked Wisconsin.
TV: Noon ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: Minnesota -2.5.
ABOUT NEBRASKA (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten): Junior wideout Stanley Morgan Jr. (team-high marks of 43 catches, 690 receiving yards and seven touchdowns) tallied four receptions last weekend to push his career total to 101, becoming only the 10th player in school history to top 100; his 1,447 career receiving yards already ranks 10th on the Cornhuskers' all-time list. After 19 carries for 32 yards in his previous two outings, Devine Ozigbo returned to a workhorse role against Northwestern with 23 attempts for 72 yards, allowing him to become the 65th Cornhusker to run for at least 1,000 yards in his career. Senior linebacker Marcus Newby tied a career high with 10 tackles and ran an interception back 48 yards for a touchdown - the longest such score for a Nebraska player since 2009.
ABOUT MINNESOTA (4-5, 1-5): Sophomore Tyler Johnson is far and away the Gophers' top receiver, as his 32 receptions are 19 more than any other Minnesota player, while his 620 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns account for 46.8 and 77.8 percent of the team's totals in those respective categories. Sophomore quarterback Demry Croft relieved an ineffective Conor Rhoda four games ago and went 11-of-20 from 163 yards and three TDs over the final two-plus quarters against Michigan State, but he is a combined 19-of-55 for 260 yards and one score in three games since. Linebacker Thomas Barber, who leads Minnesota with 82 tackles and nine tackles for loss, paces the Big Ten and ranks sixth in FBS with 57 solo stops.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Nebraska WR/KR JD Spielman needs 105 more all-purpose yards to break Ahman Green's school freshman record of 1,259 set back in 1995.
2. Minnesota ranks among the top three teams in FBS in fewest penalty yards (277, third), fewest penalties per game (3.67, tied for first) and fewest penalties (33, second).
3. At his current pace of 262.8 passing yards, Cornhuskers QB Tanner Lee will finish with 3,153 - a total that would place him third on the school's all-time single-season list.

Nov 8, 2017
Central Florida's march toward a potential perfect season continues on Saturday when the 14th-ranked Knights host Connecticut in an American Athletic Conference contest. Giving the way the season has gone for both teams, this one figures to be no contest for UCF.
Conference games this season have been a struggle for UConn, back under the guidance of head coach Randy Edsall, with four losses by a combined score of 197-117. Overall, the Huskies have allowed an average of 39.2 points in six AAC games this season. UCF owns the highest scoring offense in FBS and is averaging 43.2 points per game in five conference games. The Knights have outscored conference opponents 216-102 and have not allowed more than 24 points in an AAC game this season.
TV: Noon ET, ESPNU. LINE: UCF -38.5
ABOUT CONNECTICUT (3-6, 2-4 AAC): The Huskies are getting plenty of contributions from a class of freshman that has many already looking forward to the future of the program. Running backs Nate Hopkins (redshirt) and Kevin Mensah have combined for 10 touchdowns and 670 yards on the ground while receivers Quayvon Skanes, Keyion Dixon and Mason Donaldson have a combined 64 receptions and 703 yards. Including the defense, the Huskies have five different freshmen who have scored at least one touchdown this season.
ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (8-0, 5-0): The UCF offense, ranked fifth in the nation at 540.4 yards per game, seemingly sets a new standard every week. In last week's victory at SMU, the Knights pulled off a feat not done since the 2013 Fiesta Bowl victory against Baylor as UCF had a 300-yard passer (McKenzie Milton), 100-yard rusher (Adrian Killins, Jr.) and 100-yard receiver (Tre'Quan Smith). The victory against SMU also set a new season-high in total offense for UCF with 615, the second time this season the Knights piled up more than 600 yards and the fourth time they surpassed 500 yards in a game.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Milton is the sixth quarterback in school history to register four or more 300-yard passing games in a season. Only three have five or more - Daunte Culpepper (twice), Ryan Schneider and Blake Bortles.
2. Connecticut is 3-25 all-time against ranked teams at the time of the meeting with the only three victories coming in 2015 versus Houston, 2002 at Louisville and 2007 against South Florida.
3. A UCF win would match the school record for consecutive victories at nine, set in 2013 when the Knights finished a 12-1 season with a victory against Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.

Nov 8, 2017
Texas Tech and Baylor will likely light up the scoreboard Saturday afternoon at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The Texas Farm Bureau Shootout has lived up to its name as Texas Tech and Baylor are averaging a combined 95.1 points in the neutral-site game in the past seven seasons.
The Red Raiders can help continue to that streak, ranked fifth nationally in passing offense and 17th in scoring despite a four-game losing streak. Nic Shimonek joins three other Big 12 quarterbacks in the nation's top five for passing yards while Keke Coutee has five touchdown receptions of 40 yards or more. The Bears, who snapped an eight-game losing streak by beating Kansas last week, enter the weekend with the 121st ranked defense, allowing 479.4 yards. Freshman quarterback Charlie Brewer will likely start his second game, but coach Matt Rhule is monitoring sophomore Zach Smith's recovery from a shoulder injury.
TV: Noon ET, Fox Sports Network. LINE: Texas Tech -7
ABOUT TEXAS TECH (4-5, 1-5 Big 12): Shimonek (3,068 yards, 26 touchdowns, seven interceptions) has thrown four touchdowns in back-to-back games after being held without a scoring pass in the loss to Iowa State. Coutee (69 catches, 1,026 yards, nine touchdowns) and Dylan Cantrell have combined for 15 touchdown catches. Justin Stockton leads the Red Raiders with 525 rushing yards, but Tre King (504 yards, three touchdowns) has headlined with 184 rushing yards in the past two weeks while Desmond Nisby has a team-high seven rushing touchdowns.
ABOUT BAYLOR (1-8, 1-5): Brewer (646 yards, five touchdowns, one interception) threw for 315 yards and three scores against Kansas after Smith (1,458 yards, eight touchdowns, seven interceptions) started the previous six games. Denzel Mims, who is expected to play Saturday after being helped off the field in the third quarter of the Kansas win, leads Baylor with 43 catches for 849 yards and seven touchdowns. Senior Taylor Young (51 tackles, three sacks) recorded 10 tackles and three tackles for loss last week after moving from outside linebacker to middle linebacker.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Texas Tech has missed at least one kick in each of its losses during its four-game skid, a total of five field goals and two extra points by four different kickers.
2. Mims has four 100-yard performances in his past six games and has four touchdowns catches of 40 or more yards.
3. The Red Raiders have tallied at least 600 yards of total offense in each of their past three meetings with Baylor.

Preview: Duke at Army
Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
Duke has had some success after a bye week in the last six seasons and hopes the trend continues when it travels to West Point, N.Y. to take on red-hot Army on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils have suffered five straight losses after opening the campaign with four wins in a row, but is 5-1 after its last six bye weeks as it takes on Army’s triple-option offense that leads the nation in rushing.
“This team is talented,” Duke’s sophomore quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for only 82 yards in the 24-3 loss to Virginia Tech on Oct. 28 before the break, told reporters. “We have a lot of winners in our locker room and people who are capable of getting this season back where it needs to go.” The Blue Devils’ defense, which is led by sophomore linebacker Joe Giles-Harris (86 tackles), will have to contend with a ground attack that rushed for at least 300 yards in seven of nine games and averages 365.4. The Black Knights have won five games in a row overall for the first time since 1996, but dropped a 13-6 decision at Duke last season with just 165 yards on the ground after losing to the Blue Devils 44-3 in 2015. “They’ve made it very difficult for us to move the ball the past couple years,” Army coach Jeff Monken told reporters. “It is going to take a great effort for us to win. Hopefully our guys are up for it.”
TV: Noon ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: Duke -3
ABOUT DUKE (4-5): The Blue Devils have lost three of the games by seven points, but the rushing attack has averaged just 96 yards the past three contests and Jones owns five interceptions and three touchdown passes during the losing streak. Senior running back Shaun Wilson leads the ground attack with 586 yards and five scores while the top target for Jones is junior T.J. Rahming (47 catches, 579 yards). Giles-Harris is tied for 16th in the nation with 9.6 tackles per game and safety Jeremy McDuffie has picked off three passes for the Blue Devils, who allow 142.1 yards on the ground.
ABOUT ARMY (7-2): The rushing attack gets most of the headlines for the Black Knights, but the defense came up big last week to end Air Force’s 306-game scoring streak with a 21-0 road victory and has averaged 18.9 points against. Senior linebacker Alex Aukerman boasts six of the team’s 18 sacks and junior linebacker James Nachtigal has 73 tackles to lead Army, which is going to back-to-back bowls for the first time since 1984-85. Senior quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw had 265 yards rushing last week against Air Force to push his season total to 1,132 with eight touchdowns.
EXTRA POINTS
1. The Blue Devils are 19-2 in their last 21 regular-season, non-conference games.
2. The Black Knights have not completed a pass in four games this season and went 3-1 in those outings.
3. Duke is 13-10-1 against Army, but has won nine of the last 11 meetings.

Preview: Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech
Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
No. 17 Virginia Tech looks for a much better experience on the road this week at Georgia Tech, considering last week’s visit to Miami resulted in a 28-10 defeat on the field and a travel nightmare after the game that delayed the Hokies’ arrival back home until Sunday afternoon. The scenario is less than ideal considering Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense that is third in the nation in rushing, but coach Justin Fuente said he is relying on his veterans to lead this week.
“As a head coach, you’ve got to weigh the good with the bad,” Fuente told reporters Monday after the Hokies – who were the nation’s No. 2 scoring defense entering last weekend – were gashed for 429 yards. “That’s what we have do all the time every single week, trying to figure out the best way to get your team knowing what to do and playing good.” Georgia Tech has not played well of late, dropping three of its past four, and must win two of its final three games in order to become bowl eligible. “That’s life,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson told reporters Tuesday. “If you don’t learn to deal with adversity, you’re not going to make it very far.” The Yellow Jackets blew a 15-point second-half lead in last week’s 40-36 loss at Virginia, rallying to take the lead with 3:10 remaining before giving up a 64-yard touchdown drive in just five plays.
TV: 12:20 p.m. ET, ACC Network. LINE: Virginia Tech -3
ABOUT VIRGINIA TECH (7-2, 3-2 ACC): Freshman quarterback Josh Jackson leads all FBS freshmen with 2,229 passing yards and 17 touchdowns – both school records for a freshman. The Hokies are tied for third in the ACC in scoring at 32.6 points per game and, despite last week’s struggles, continue leading the conference in points allowed per contest (13.3). Linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka has six career fumble recoveries and five career interceptions, leading a defense allowing just 300.6 yards per game.
ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (4-4, 3-3): Quarterback TaQuon Marshall completed just six passes last week but threw for 179 yards and added 143 rushing yards, and his 870 yards rushing ranks fourth all time among quarterbacks in school history in a single season. The Yellow Jackets are averaging 331.9 yards rushing per contest, but have surrendered 28.3 points per game in their past four contests. Linebacker Bruce Jordan-Swilling recorded a career-high 11 tackles with a forced fumble, fumble recovery, interception and defensive touchdown last week.
EXTRA POINTS
1. The road team has won the past four games in the series.
2. Virginia Tech’s two losses have come against No. 6 Miami and No. 4 Clemson, two schools that are a combined 16-1 this season.
3. Three of Georgia Tech’s four losses have come by a combined total of six points.

Preview: Wake Forest at Syracuse
Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
Following a tough two-game swing through Florida, Syracuse returns home Saturday to take on Wake Forest in a key contest for both teams' postseason hopes. The Orange need two wins to become bowl-eligible, while the Demon Deacons are one victory away.
Syracuse lost at Miami (Fla.) and Florida State in its last two games, dropping the two competitive contests by a combined 11 points. Quarterback Eric Dungey banged up his foot and ankle against the Seminoles but should be ready to play against Wake Forest. "He's going to have to take it easy," Orange coach Dino Babers said regarding Dungey's practicing this week. "He's not going to be able to do all the work. He's got a lot of game experience. We'll just practice the other guys. He'll be ready to go. ... Him healthy is our best opportunity to win." The Demon Deacons battled at Notre Dame last week before falling 48-37 for their fourth loss in five games.
TV: 3 p.m. ET, RSN. LINE: Pick'em
ABOUT WAKE FOREST (5-4, 2-3 ACC): The Demon Deacons rank in the top 50 nationally in points for and points against, but they have only won one game this season in which they scored fewer than 34 points or given up more than 19 points. John Wolford, a four-year starter at quarterback, has a crisp 17-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has only been sacked nine times after going down 33 times last season. Alex Bachman, who entered last week's game with four catches on the season, caught eight balls for 116 yards and a score versus the Fighting Irish.
ABOUT SYRACUSE (4-5, 2-3): The Orange got three touchdowns from Dungey (two passing, one rushing), but it wasn't enough to defeat the Seminoles - the second straight tight loss for Syracuse since upsetting No. 2 Clemson. Senior wideout Steve Ishmael has 986 receiving yards - fifth in the nation - and posted 12 catches for a career-high 143 yards against Florida State. Dontae Strickland followed up a 105-yard rushing effort at Miami - his season high - with a 20-yard effort against Florida State, his second-lowest rushing total of the year.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson used to coach at Bowling Green. After he left, the school hired Babers to replace him.
2. Wake Forest S Jessie Bates (knee) missed the Notre Dame game and is questionable to face Syracuse.
3. Wolford ran for two touchdowns in last season's 28-9 victory against the Orange.

Wisconsin's easy path to an undefeated regular season and a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game became a lot more interesting when No. 20 Iowa stepped up last week and declared itself a contender. The eighth-ranked Badgers will try to avoid an upset and keep their path clear when they host the surging Hawkeyes on Saturday.
Iowa scored the biggest upset of the Big Ten slate thus far when it ripped Ohio State 55-24 last week, recording a season high in points after totaling 27 points in its previous two games. "If we could draw up the way we wanted it to look, that pretty much was it," Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz told hawkeyesports.com. "The guys did a good job, there was good run-pass balance. I think we were a yard apart on run total (243) and pass total (244). More importantly, we were able to run and pass efficiently and work together -- I was happy to see that. We were hoping we would see that execution over the last four or five weeks and we finally broke through." That offense will try to maintain that balance against a Wisconsin squad that enters the weekend tied for fourth in FBS in scoring defense, allowing an average of 13.3 points. The undefeated Badgers are the only Big Ten team without at least two losses and will lock up the Big Ten West with a win on Saturday, but they still haven't impressed the College Football Playoff committee enough to jump into the top four in the rankings.
TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC, LINE: Wisconsin -12.5
ABOUT IOWA (6-3, 3-3 Big Ten): The Hawkeyes' offense was set up last week by its defense, led by defensive back Josh Jackson. The junior tied a school record with three interceptions and was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. "He knocked it out of the park," Ferentz told hawkeyesports.com of Jackson. "You can see the maturation of guys sometimes, and Josh has taken a step with every year he has been here. He played good football for us the last two years, now he is a starter and has played well all season. It's almost impossible to have three interceptions in one game and all three of them were spectacular plays."
ABOUT WISCONSIN (9-0, 6-0): The Badgers are led by freshman running back Jonathan Taylor, who bounced back from an ankle injury suffered in a 24-10 win at Illinois on Oct. 28 by barreling for 183 yards on 29 carries in last week's 45-17 victory at Indiana. Taylor will be leaned on even more this week after it was announced that wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who leads the team with 501 yards and six TD receptions, will sit out Saturday's contest after suffering a right leg injury against Illinois. Senior tight end Troy Fumagalli is second on the team with 401 receiving yards and three TD catches but has not seen the end zone since Week 3 at BYU.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Wisconsin LB Chris Orr (left leg) is out for Saturday while S D'Cota Dixon (right leg) is questionable.
2. Iowa S Brandon Snyder is out for the rest of the season after suffering his second ACL tear of 2017.
3. The Badgers took four of the last five meetings, including a 17-9 win at the Hawkeyes last season.

Where: Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, Kentucky
Preview: Virginia at Louisville
Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
Teams accustomed to playing close games against each other get together Saturday when Louisville hosts Virginia in an ACC matchup. The Cardinals prevailed last season when Jaylen Smith made an acrobatic catch in the end zone with 13 seconds left for a 32-25 win, and the schools split one-score games the previous two years that went down to the wire.
Louisville dropped its last contest 42-32 at Wake Forest on Oct. 28 despite another great game by quarterback Lamar Jackson, who had 161 yards rushing, 330 yards passing and accounted for four touchdowns (three rushing). With only three games left, the Cardinals still need another win to become bowl-eligible for the eighth straight season. Conversely, the Cavaliers became bowl-eligible for the first time since 2011 after Kurt Benkert threw a 27-yard scoring pass to Andre Levrone with 1:22 remaining to knock off Georgia Tech 40-36 last weekend. Benkert (59.6 completion percentage, 20 TDs, six interceptions, 2,278 passing yards) threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns against the Yellow Jackets to become the first Cavalier in program history to throw for at least 20 passing TDs in multiple seasons, and he needs eight more scoring throws to match the school record of 28 set by Matt Schaub in 2002.
TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: Louisville -11.5.
ABOUT VIRGINIA (6-3, 3-2 ACC): H-Back Olamide Zaccheaus has 66 catches through nine games - tied for fifth on the school’s all-time single season list - for 683 yards and four touchdowns. Jordan Ellis leads the team in rushing with 708 yards and five scores, while Doni Dowling is a threat through the air with 36 catches for 506 yards and five touchdowns. The leaders for a defense that surrenders just over 25 points a contest are linebacker Micah Kiser, who was named one of 20 semifinalists for the inaugural Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year award and safety Quin Blanding, who is the school’s all-time leader in tackles with 445.
ABOUT LOUISVILLE (5-4, 2-4): Jackson, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, continued piling up accolades with his performance against the Demon Deacons; he became the fourth player in school history to rush for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, extended his school records for career rushing yards (3,560) and touchdown runs (46) and became only the fourth player in NCAA history to pass for over 8,000 yards and rush for 3,000 yards in a career. Jackson leads nation in total offense at 426.3 yards per game, leads the ACC in passing yards per game (312), rushing yards per game (114.3), rushing touchdowns (14), points responsible for (196) and ranks second in total points (84). However, he needs help from a defense that surrendered 461 yards passing against Wake Forest and has yielded 236 points in six ACC games - nearly 40 per contest.
EXTRA POINTS:
1. Louisville leads the all-time series, 3-2. The Cardinals also lead the series 2-1 since joining the ACC in 2014.
2. Kiser is first in the ACC and sixth in the nation with 10.8 tackles per game, while Blanding needs 22 tackles to pass North Carolina's Dexter Reid (2000-03) for the most career tackles in ACC history by a defensive back.
3. Louisville is one of four offenses in the country averaging 300 yards passing and 200 yards rushing this season.

Preview: West Virginia at Kansas State
Gracenote
Nov 8, 2017
After holding off Iowa State for a 20-16 victory last Saturday, West Virginia suddenly finds itself back in the Big 12 championship conversation. The Mountaineers, who end conference play with what could be a potential first-place showdown with Oklahoma in Norman, must take care of business before that, however ,starting with Saturday afternoon's contest at Kansas State.
The Sooners and TCU are tied for first place in the Big 12 with 5-1 records and play Saturday night in Norman. West Virginia, which is 4-2 and hosts Texas next week, could still finish in a tie for first if it wins out and Oklahoma defeats the Horned Frogs. Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen, who said the Big 12 is "as competitive as it's ever been," says his team must focus on winning this week's game at Kansas State -- where it's lost in both of its previous visits -- and not on potential title scenarios. "There isn't a whole lot of Big 12 championship talk around here," Holgorsen said. "It's everybody's goal going into the season. But it's important to get ready to play the next game. Everybody in the Big 12 knows every game is important."
TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Kansas State -2.5
ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (6-3, 4-2 Big 12): In a conference that features 2016 Heisman finalist Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma and prolific Mason Rudolph of Oklahoma State, Mountaineer quarterback Will Grier gets overlooked a bit on the national level. Still, the Florida transfer is putting up some eye-popping numbers, completing 217-of-334 passes for 3,068 yards, 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Wide receiver David Sills V has 51 receptions for 793 yards and leads the nation with 16 touchdown receptions while senior linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton ranks fifth in the Big 12 in tackles (77) , including 12.0 for loss, and anchors a Mountaineers defense that held Iowa State to just 101 rushing yards last week.
ABOUT KANSAS STATE (5-4, 3-3): The Wildcats come in off a 42-35 overtime win at Texas Tech that was highlighted by the play of third-string redshirt freshman quarterback Skylar Thompson who came off the bench to complete 5-of-8 passes for 96 yards, score on a one-yard run at the end of regulation to force OT, and completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Byron Pringle to win it. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said he would wait until later in the week to name his starting quarterback which could be starter Jesse Ertz, who has missed four games with a knee injury and is listed as questionable. Cornerback D.J. Reed, who has eight pass breakups and three interceptions, leads a secondary that has been burned for over 400 yards passing for three straight weeks.
EXTRA POINTS
1. West Virginia sophomore WR Marcus Simms leads the Big 12 and ranks 17th nationally in all-purpose yards with an average of 137.8 yards per game.
2. Kansas State PK Matthew McCrane has connected on 17-of-21 field goals which leads the Big 12 and ranks fourth nationally.
3. West Virginia is 11-of-15 on fourth down conversions (73.3 percent) which leads the Big 12 and is tied for eighth nationally.

The Clemson-Florida State matchup has produced the ACC champion each of the last six years, a streak the Seminoles would love to end. Struggling Florida State aims to play spoiler to the fourth-ranked Tigers’ hopes of repeating as national champions as it takes to the road for Saturday's contest.
Clemson already is in playoff mode, as it is fourth in this week’s College Football Playoff rankings and need to close out the regular season with triumphs over Florida State and South Carolina and win the ACC championship to make its way back to the national semifinals. "This is where you hope to be," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney told reporters. "This is what it's all about. You work all season to put yourself in position to have a chance to achieve your goals. The rest of our season hinges on these four quarters. This is championship football for us." The Tigers haven’t exactly been dominant of late – following a 27-24 loss at Syracuse on Oct. 13, they shut down Georgia Tech’s ground game in a 24-10 victory and rallied for a 38-31 win at N.C. State last week. The Seminoles long ago were knocked out of ACC championship contention, and their season hit rock bottom in a 35-3 loss at Boston College on Oct. 27.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (3-5, 3-4 ACC): The Seminoles’ offense took a major hit when quarterback Deondre Francois suffered a season-ending knee injury in the season-opening loss to Alabama. Freshman James Blackman took over under center and has averaged 160.6 passing yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions, while freshman running back Cam Akers has been effective, averaging 5.5 yards per carry and rushing for 199 yards in last week’s win over Syracuse. The Seminoles’ defense is good enough to keep them in most games, and defensive end Josh Sweat (10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks) could have a big impact if he can pressure Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant.
ABOUT CLEMSON (8-1, 6-1): The Tigers again possess one of the nation’s top defenses, ranking eighth in scoring defense and 13th in total defense, and the unit doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses. The offense hinges on Bryant, who has passed for 1,773 yards and seven touchdowns and leads the team in rushing yards (548) and rushing touchdowns (nine), but running backs Tavien Feaster (529 yards) and Travis Etienne (520) have big-play potential. Feaster broke an 89-yard touchdown run last week – tied for the third-longest in program history – and Etienne ran for an 81-yard score earlier this season against Boston College.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Clemson has won 40 straight games when rushing for at least 200 yards and 52 in a row when allowing fewer than 23 points.
2. Akers (695) ranks third on Florida State’s single-season rushing list for true freshmen, trailing Dalvin Cook (1,008) and Greg Allen (888).
3. Clemson WR Deon Cain has caught a pass in 32 consecutive games, the 10th-longest active streak in the nation and six shy of Artavis Scott’s program record.
PREDICTION: Clemson 33, Florida State 16
