Northwestern-Michigan could be Under bettors' dream
When the Michigan Wolverines and Northwestern Wildcats square off in Ann Arbor Saturday, it will be a contest between the two top Under bets in the country.
Both the Wildcats and Wolverines are 0-5 Over/Under to begin the season and the reason for that? Well, defense of course.
Northwestern has pitched two shutouts so far (vs. Eastern Illinois, vs. Minnesota) and has given up the fewest points in the country so far (35). Right behind them is Michigan who has also blanked two opponents (vs. BYU, at Maryland) and has conceded just 38 points - 24 if those at Utah in Week 1.
The past two meetings between these two Big Ten rivals have resulted in cashed Under bets, including a 10-9 Michigan win last season.
Vols dismiss WR Howard
Tennessee senior wide receiver Alton "Pig" Howard was dismissed from the team on Wednesday by coach Butch Jones for a violation of unspecified team rules.
Howard missed the Vols' season-opening win over Bowling Green because of a suspension for a violation of team rules and sat out the past two games with a concussion. He had one catch for 8 yards in two games this year.
Jones did not specify whether the dismissall was related to Howard's earlier suspension.
West Virginia loses S Joseph to knee injury
West Virginia will be without one of its top players for the remainder of the season after standout safety Karl Joseph suffered a knee injury during a non-contact drill in practice on Tuesday.
The Mountaineers announced Wednesday that Joseph, a senior who was a first-team All-Big 12 player in 2014, has played his last college game.
Joseph was tied for the FBS lead in interceptions with five. Three of those came in West Virginia's season opener against Georgia Southern. He was named the Big 12 player of the week and national player of the week by the Football Writers Association of America after his performance in that game.
Rutgers WR Carroo back with team
Rutgers senior wide receiver Leonte Carroo was reinstated to the team on Wednesday by coach Kyle Flood after missing the past two games.
