Huskies, Bearcats look to avoid 0-3 start in American
October 7, 2016

STORRS, Conn. (AP) UConn and Cincinnati both need a win Saturday to avoid an 0-3 start in the American Athletic Conference.

Both also are looking for big improvements at key offensive positions.

The Huskies (2-3, 0-2 American) come into their game with the Bearcats (3-2, 0-2) averaging just 350 yards a game, which ranks 104th among the 128 Bowl Subdivision teams. That includes just 124 yards per game on the ground.

Their leading rusher, Arkeel Newsome, has 224 yards on 58 carries. The Huskies quarterback, Bryant Shirreffs, has run the ball 84 times for 199 yards.

''I don't really don't have an interest in watching Bryant run and Arkeel not, said coach Bob Diaco. ''For Arkeel to have six touches, it can't happen.''

Cincinnati is looking for more production from the quarterback position, where Hayden Moore has missed two games with a high ankle sprain. Redshirt freshman Ross Trial threw three interceptions last week in a 40-25 loss to South Florida and has six interceptions and just one touchdown this season while filling in.

''The quarterback is the key to your engine,'' coach Tommy Tuberville said this week. He's the guy that gets you going, gets you in the right plays, motivates the players, gets all that stuff done.

The two are both listed at the top of this week's depth chart, but Tuberville has given Moore just a 25 percent chance of playing. Former starter Gunner Kiel still listed as third string, but Tuberville said he would choose his starter based on this week's practices.

The Bearcats are averaging just under 415 yards per game.

Here are some other things to watch for as UConn hosts Cincinnati on Saturday morning:

NEW TARGETS

UConn's passing attack has so far consisted of a single threat, wide receiving Noel Thomas. The senior has 46 of UConn's 97 catches for 523 yards and two touchdowns. The second most productive receiver, sophomore Hergy Mayala, has just 15 catches for 231 yards. But Diaco said he's pleased with the effort from the receiving corps and is not looking for anyone to step up their game.

''If we put them in situations to be successful, they've done the work, they'll be successful,'' he said.

SCORING PROBLEMS

Both teams are struggling to score this season. UConn ranks at the bottom of the conference and No. 117 in the nation with 19.8 points per game and has yet to put a point on the board in the first quarter. The Cincinnati offense is just above the Huskies, ranking 10th in the league scoring at 25.8 points per game.

SERIES DOMINANCE

The series between the two programs has not been very competitive. Cincinnati has won 10 of the 12 meetings and five straight including all three as members of the American. The Bearcats were 6-2 against UConn when both were members of the Big East.

EARLY START

The game has an 11:30 a.m. start as is being played on the same day as the Hartford Marathon, which will lead to numerous road closings in the greater Hartford area. Tight end Tyler Davis said the players actually are looking forward to the early start, because it means less waiting around in the morning.

BIG 12 PREVIEW?

Both programs have been listed among the top contenders for possible expansion in the Big 12 and made pitches to the league last month.

Penn State, Maryland enter rubber match on similar paths
October 7, 2016

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) When DJ Durkin and James Franklin spoke about their teams earlier this week, they sounded nearly identical praising young, up-tempo offenses led by dual-threat quarterbacks and highlighted by playmaking running backs.

Whichever one takes the next step will have to come at the expense of the other. Penn State (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) hosts Maryland (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday in what's become arguably both team's biggest rivalry to date. The teams have split the past two games, each decided by one point after a combined 11 lead changes.

''I think both teams are going to be going into that stadium on Saturday fired up and excited,'' Franklin said. ''They are coming in undefeated. We played an undefeated team last week. We are coming off a big emotional win where the guys just kept fighting and persevering.''

The Terrapins are seeking their first 5-0 start since 2001 and are averaging 43.3 points per game. Quarterback Perry Hills, like his Penn State counterpart Trace McSorley, has found a groove behind an offensive line that features three former walk-ons.

''He can beat you with his feet and his arm,'' Durkin said. ''He's doing a great job of doing what we ask him to do. He's playing with confidence. If he makes a mistake, he can't wait to get back out there.''

Hills didn't throw his first interception until last week and isn't making many other mistakes. His supporting cast has made it easier on him, including a group of running backs that are averaging over 8.5 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, McSorley is trying to do the same thing for Saquon Barkley by forcing teams to back out of the box. Penn State's talented tailback hasn't ran for 100 yards since the season opener.

D-LINE BREAKOUT?

Penn State's defensive line appears to be coming around. Tackle Kevin Givens has looked better with each game and ends Torrence Brown, Evan Schwan and Garrett Sickels have all made plays on the edge where they were burned earlier this season.

They could be in for another game where their containment is tested. Maryland's Ty Johnson has been the Terps' most dangerous outside runner. He tortured Purdue for 204 yards and two touchdowns on just seven carries last week.

If they can keep Johnson in check, Penn State's defensive line will have a shot to get after Hills. Maryland's offensive line has allowed nine sacks in the last two games.

''Even though they may be a little bit undersized, they're incredibly active,'' Maryland offensive coordinator Walt Bell said. ''They have great ball get-off and they have great short-area quickness up front. That'll be a real test for us, especially inside.

CORNERBACK PROS AND WOES

Maryland cornerback Will Likely hasn't let his size deter him against Penn State's bigger receivers in the past. He's got seven tackles, an interception and a forced a host of other incompletions or look-aways covering Nittany Lions DaeSean Hamilton and Saeed Blacknall who have big height and weight advantages against the 5-foot-7, 175-pound corner.

Likely's hurt Penn State as a returner, too.

Already down a handful of linebackers, Penn State is hurting at corner now. Starter Christian Campbell left the Minnesota game with a left leg injury and is doubtful for Saturday. The team's fourth corner, Amani Oruwariye is also questionable with an undisclosed injury.

Expect longtime reserve Jordan Smith to play a larger role. He was good against Minnesota with an interception, two pass breakups and four tackles.

IN AND OUT

Franklin hoped the team would get good news on the hand injury that's kept linebacker Jason Cabinda out but he is out for this game. His replacement Brandon Smith will return to the lineup after leaving the Minnesota game early. Defensive end Curtis Cothran will sit out the first half and be eligible to return in the third quarter, a continuance of a targeting penalty from last week.

BORDER BATTLE

Penn State has 11 players from the state of Maryland while the Terps boast 10 Pennsylvanians on their roster. In total, 117 players from both states line both rosters.

''It's always fun playing those guys especially since I know a couple on the team,'' Maryland defensive lineman Azubuike Ukandu said.

Miami hopes to end woes against FSU
October 7, 2016

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) Jimbo Fisher has seen this scenario before.

A coach takes over a long-struggling program, more than a decade removed from its most glorious days and is asked to resuscitate it quickly. And in that coach's first season, a win over his team's biggest rival serves as that springboard back to prominence.

That's what happened for Fisher and Florida State in 2010.

And that's what Mark Richt and Miami will try to repeat now.

The 10th-ranked Hurricanes (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) host No. 23 Florida State (3-2, 0-2) on Saturday night, looking to snap a six-year losing streak in the storied series and perhaps cement themselves as a true contender in the ACC's Coastal Division.

''It's a huge game,'' Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya said. ''It sways recruiting. It sways fan bases. It sways seasons.''

Richt has been part of this series as a Miami player and Florida State assistant coach. He now gets a taste of it as a head coach for the first time, though is trying to avoid the hyperbole that almost always accompanies the buildup to a Miami-Florida State clash.

''What we need to do,'' Richt said, ''is do our job the way we're being taught to do it.''

Florida State hasn't lost back-to-back games since 2011 - the Seminoles fell at home to North Carolina last week on a field goal at the final horn - and needed heroics from star running back Dalvin Cook to rally from fourth-quarter deficits to beat the Hurricanes in each of the last two years.

''This is one of the games you came to Florida State to play in,'' said Cook, a Miami native.

Florida State - widely touted as a national-title contender coming into the season - is probably out of the ACC's Atlantic race already, though Fisher has insisted there's plenty of meaningful football left to play.

''Miami is a very good team,'' Fisher said. ''I don't know if they're Top 10, but they're undefeated. Playing very well. ... We need to perform at a very high level to have a chance to have success, and that's what our goal is and that's what our intentions are.''

Here's some of what to know going into Florida State-Miami:

POLL WATCH: Florida State's streak of 75 consecutive appearances in the AP Top 25 - the second-longest current run behind Alabama's 137 - is in jeopardy. A loss almost certainly would leave the Seminoles unranked for the first time since the Nov. 20, 2011 poll. A win would give Miami a chance at its highest ranking in 11 years; the Hurricanes went to No. 3 in 2005, and haven't been past No. 7 since.

STORM PASSES: The Miami area was minimally affected by Hurricane Matthew, which skirted past the area before lashing much the coastline on the Atlantic side of Florida with incredibly intense wind and rain Friday and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Florida State was able to fly south Friday morning, about a half-day behind what the Seminoles originally scheduled.

ONLY TWO: Miami's Mark Walton and Joseph Yearby have touchdown rushes in all four Hurricane games this season. They're the only FBS running-back duo in the country with a TD run apiece in each of their team's games this season. Also, Miami is one of two FBS schools to not trail yet this season, with Boise State being the other.

KAAYA WATCH: There are two players since 2000 with multiple 300-yard passing games against Florida State - and both are Miami quarterbacks. Ken Dorsey did it in 2000 and 2002, and Brad Kaaya has thrown for 316 and 405 in his first two outings, respectively, against the Seminoles. Florida State gave up exactly 405 yards passing last week as well, to North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky.

DRIVE FOR FIVE: Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois will try to become the fifth consecutive Seminole starter to win his debut game against Miami, joining Christian Ponder (2008), EJ Manuel (2011), Jameis Winston (2013) and Everett Golson (2015). The last Florida State quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in his first start against Miami and lose was Chris Rix in 2001. Rix wound up going 0-5 against the Hurricanes.

Panthers hope extra studying pass off vs. Georgia Tech
October 7, 2016

PITTSBURGH (AP) Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi watched his team let Navy's meticulously executed option offense have its way in a lopsided loss in the Military Bowl last December and knew something needed to be done.

So the coach who stresses taking it one week at a time did something a little different during fall camp. He looked ahead. To be more specific, he looked ahead to Georgia Tech, who will bring a scheme the Midshipmen used to roll up 417 yards rushing to Heinz Field on Saturday.

Narduzzi called the cram sessions ''Panther Periods.''

''We need to stop the run,'' Narduzzi said. ''Whether it's a spread offense or a triple offense, we need to make the plays necessary to stop them. We looked at it during the summer just so we could get our kids further along.''

Pitt (3-2, 0-1 ACC) will get a chance to see if the extra studying pays off on Saturday when the Yellow Jackets (3-2, 1-2) visit Heinz Field.

''They a have lot of magic done behind the line, a lot of stuff you've got to look at,'' Pitt linebacker Oluwaseun Idowu said. ''You need to have honest eyes.''

The Panthers edge Georgia Tech on a late field goal last season and figures to be in another tight one this time around. Each of Pitt's past four games have been decided in the last 2 minutes, including a late 13-point outburst in the final 1:04 to put away Marshall last Saturday.

That hasn't been the case for the Yellow Jackets, who are coming off consecutive home losses to No. 2 Clemson and No. 10 Miami, games in which they never led. Any chance of upsetting the Hurricanes evaporated when Miami returned a pair of second-quarter fumbles by Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas for touchdowns in the second quarter. Thomas knows those miscues need to stop immediately.

''We've just got to stay consistent,'' quarterback Justin Thomas said. ''It will come but right now it's just in spurts. We do something good a few drives and come back and we start going backward.''

TOUGH GRIND FOR YELLOW JACKETS OFFENSE: Each of Georgia Tech's first three ACC opponents - Boston College (1), Clemson (12) and Miami (7) - rank among the top 12 nationally in total defense. That's not the case with Pitt which is No. 72, allowing 406.6 yards per game. Those numbers are a bit skewed, however, and not necessarily in Georgia Tech's favor. The Panthers have struggled against the pass but are fourth in the country against the run, allowing 69.8 yards per game.

The Yellow Jackets struggled to a 17-14 win over Boston College in Dublin and were shut down in a 26-7 loss to Clemson. Their 124 total yards against Clemson were a low mark for the spread-option offense in nine years under Johnson.

Johnson took a more hands-on approach in practice last week and Georgia Tech rebounded with 361 yards, including 267 yards rushing, in last week's 35-21 loss to Miami.

WHITHER WHITHEAD?: Pitt sophomore safety Jordan Whitehead dressed but did not play against Marshall, the 2015 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year watching from the sideline as the Panthers pulled away late to seal the victory. Narduzzi initially declined to get into Whitehead's status but earlier this week described Whitehead's absence on the field due to reasons ''personal in nature.'' Whitehead is second on the team in tackles and has rushed for 63 yards while moonlighting occasionally on offense. Narduzzi anticipates Whitehead returning to the lineup Saturday.

BEEN HERE, DONE THAT: Georgia Tech also was coming off two straight losses to Duke and North Carolina in 2014 when it turned its season around with a 56-28 win at Pitt. That team finished 11-3, played in the ACC championship game and won the Orange Bowl.

''A lot of people were about to give up the ship and jump off and we ended up winning 11 games and the Orange Bowl,'' Johnson said. ''There's still a lot of football to be played. You've just got to take it one game at a time and play. I'd like for us to be playing better than we are playing but who knows? Maybe this is the week.''

PASS HAPPY? Against Marshall the Panthers threw for more yards than they ran for, the first time that's happened this season. It was a welcome jolt for quarterback Nate Peterman and wide receiver Jester Weah, who connected on the game-sealing 54-yard touchdown with 64 seconds left.

''I feel my confidence is right up through the roof,'' Weah said. ''I feel like when I'm on the field I can do whatever I want.''

No. 24 Utah looks to end losing streak against Arizona
October 7, 2016

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) For all the recent success Utah's Kyle Whittingham has had in the Pac-12, beating Arizona's Rich Rodriguez has eluded him.

The Wildcats are 4-0 against the 24th-ranked Utes since Rodriguez took over in 2012, and to hear Whittingham tell it he hasn't really been thinking about that this week.

''It's not on my mind, but I guess it should be,'' Whittingham said. ''It's right. It's accurate. They've had our number the last four years.''

The Wildcats (2-3, 0-2 Pac-12) have run roughshod through the Utes (4-1, 1-1) in the last four meetings, rushing for an average of 269 yards per game.

The Utes could have their best opportunity yet to put an end to that streak when they host the Wildcats on Saturday.

Arizona has been plagued by injuries this season with 28 players, including 18 starters, on the injury report at the beginning of the week. Starting running back Nick Wilson, who ran for 218 yards and three touchdowns against the Utes in 2014, is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

And though they ran for 200-plus yards in their last four consecutive games, the Wildcats' usually explosive offense isn't what it's been in the past.

Arizona is ranked No. 51 in the country with 443.4 yards of total offense per game with the No. 65 scoring offense (29.2 points per game).

''They haven't been as prolific offensively as they have in previous years, but they've been prolific against us all four last years,'' Whittingham said. ''We're not overly concerned with what's gone on the first four weeks of the season for them because we know we've had our own struggles with them.''

Rodriguez said Sundays have become long days, win or lose, as the injuries have piled up. Arizona finished the last game without its top two quarterbacks and top two running backs. Last week, Khalil Tate became the first Arizona true freshman to receive time at quarterback since 2008 due to a rib injury to Brandon Dawkins. Tate may start against the Utes.

''As a staff, we have to come together with a plan, try to put some guys in place that are maybe more inexperienced,'' Rodriguez said. ''We may have to adapt some of our schemes, not just on offense and defense, but on special teams. We will have 11 out there. I don't know how much experience they will have, but we'll have 11 out there, and get ready to go put the plan together for Utah.''

Things to watch when Utah hosts Arizona:

REAL STRUGGLE: Utah continues to be one of the worst teams in the country in the red zone with a 75 percent scoring percentage - No. 107 in the nation and last in the Pac-12. The 54.17 touchdown percentage puts them at No. 98.

''We think we maybe need to be a little more creative down there,'' Whittingham said.

PROMOTED: Utah sophomore Armand Shyne was promoted to starter this week after rushing for 99 yards and two touchdowns against Cal. He has 272 yards and three touchdowns this season. The Utes need him and freshman Zack Moss to carry the load with junior Troy McCormick banged up.

BALL SECURITY: Arizona is tied for No. 23 in the nation with just five turnovers in five games. The Wildcats have had three games without a single turnover. Utah has 10 turnovers this season, but has also forced 12, which is tied for No. 6 in the country.

''We really want to be a nastier team this week,'' Utah safety Chase Hansen said.

HURT, TOO: The Utes have had injury issues of their own. Three-year starting center J.J. Dielman went down last week with a season-ending lower leg injury. Backup Lo Falemaka is banged up and was in a walking boot this week. First team All-Pac-12 defensive tackle Lowell Lotulelei missed last game with a shoulder injury. No. 1 receiver Tim Patrick and starting cornerback Reggie Porter both went down last week. McCormick was also in a boot this week after getting hurt last week. Whittingham only confirmed that Dielman would be out this week.

Houston's juggernaut off to Navy
October 7, 2016

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo offered a unique strategy when asked about defending Houston's high-powered offense on Saturday.

''We're trying to petition to the NCAA to see if we can play 15 guys on the field,'' Niumatalolo said.

No. 6 Houston (5-0, 2-0 American Athletic Conference) opened the season by scoring 33 points against then-third ranked Oklahoma and has not slowed down. Employing a multiple spread offense conceived by head coach Tom Herman, the Cougars rank 19th in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total offense with 506 yards per game and 12th in scoring offense with an average of 44.2 points.

Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. leads the nation's 25th -ranked passing offense (304.6 yards). Ward has completed 99 of 140 passes for 1,325 yards and eight touchdowns.

''Ward was a really good player last year and he's even better this year,'' Niumatalolo said. ''Nobody has been able to slow him down. He's very patient in the pocket and is well-coached.''

Navy's defensive staff spent Sunday and Monday reviewing film of Houston's five games this season and saw every possible defensive scheme. Some teams rushed three defenders and dropped eight in coverage while others rushed four and dropped seven. Oklahoma was among the opponents that unleashed a bunch of blitzes on Ward with little success.

''We're like everybody else in the country - we're still searching for answers on how to stop him,'' Niumatalolo said of Ward.

Some things to know about the Houston-Navy matchup.

TOUGH ON DEFENSE, TOO: Houston is far from one-dimensional. The Cougars are third in the country in scoring defense and sixth in total defense, holding opponents to 11.2 points and 250 yards.

''You don't become (No. 6) in the country by just being good in one phase,'' Niumatalolo said. ''They're ranked where they are for a reason. They're just so good in so many places. A well-coached team with so many good players is a tough combination.''

Inside linebacker Steven Taylor leads the Houston defense with 27 tackles (six for loss) and 5 + sacks. Strong safety Garrett Davis has 26 tackles (four for loss). The Cougars suffered a self-inflicted setback when starting linebackers Tyus Bowser and Matthew Adams got into a fight during a team event before the Connecticut game.

Bowser, who had 18 tackles through four games, sustained a broken bone in his face and will miss several games. Adams didn't play against Connecticut because of disciplinary reasons, but is scheduled to start against Navy (3-1, 2-0).

Houston held Navy to 147 rushing yards in last year's meeting, which decided the West Division representative in the inaugural AAC championship game. The Cougars, who came into the contest with one conference loss, won a tiebreaker over the Midshipmen by virtue of their 52-31 victory.

TOUGH STRETCH: The Midshipmen are in the midst of their most challenging stretch of the season.

Navy is coming off a disappointing defeat at the hands of service academy rival Air Force. A 28-14 loss in Colorado Springs likely means the coveted Commander-in-Chief's Trophy will be departing Annapolis.

''After getting your butt whipped by one of your rivals, a team like Houston wakes you up pretty quickly. There can't be any lingering effects or this game will get ugly real quickly,'' Niumatalolo said.

Navy faces a quick turnaround after this one, traveling to East Carolina for a nationally-televised contest next Thursday night.

HISTORIC VISIT: Saturday will be just the ninth time in the history of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that an AP Top 10 team has visited. Last time came in 2001, when Georgia Tech laid a 70-7 whipping on Navy.

Houston will be the highest-ranked team to play at the 53-year-old facility since second-ranked South Carolina in 1984. The Midshipmen upset the Gamecocks, 38-21, that year.

STREAKING: Navy has won 12 straight home games dating back to 2014. On Saturday, the Midshipmen will be seeking to equal the school record for consecutive victories at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Navy won the first 13 games it played at the facility after it opened in September 1959.

Houston, on the other hand, has won 19 of its last 20 games with the lone loss coming at Connecticut last November. The Cougars avenged that defeat by routing the Huskies, 42-14 on Sept. 29.

UNC aims to keep rolling against V-Tech
October 7, 2016

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North Carolina coach Larry Fedora sees his team making plenty of mistakes, even after a pair of last-second wins that vaulted the 17th-ranked Tar Heels back into the national rankings .

He's trying to figure out how to fix them entering Saturday's game against No. 25 Virginia Tech.

''If we can ever get that accomplished, you would see some fireworks out there,'' he said. ''It would be pretty dang good. And that's the potential of this football team.''

That's the balance for Fedora. His Tar Heels (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) sit atop the league's Coastal Division after rallying to beat Pittsburgh and then-No. 12 Florida State with scores in the last 5 seconds each time. But UNC is still spotty on defense, while the offense that has the potential to sprint past anyone still has moments that Fedora wants to clean up.

Against the Seminoles, for example, it was Elijah Hood's fumble near the FSU goal line. Fedora said there was some ''gloom'' when coaches reviewed film of a thrilling win.

''Everybody knows you can't keep living on the edge like that,'' Fedora said.

The Hokies (3-1, 1-0) are coming off a bye week and bring a tough defense to face UNC's rolling offense. Virginia Tech's offense, a faster-tempo scheme brought by new coach Justin Fuente from Memphis, has been particularly sharp in the last two games, rolling to 103 points in lopsided home wins against Boston College and East Carolina.

Virginia Tech is making its first appearance in the AP Top 25 this season, setting up the first game between two ranked teams at UNC's Kenan Stadium since 2008.

''It's great for our fans to take pride in and get excited about,'' Fuente said. ''It may add to more fanfare on the outside about the upcoming games, but it's not something that we draw a lot of focus on.''

---

Here are things to know about Saturday's Virginia Tech-North Carolina game:

STOPPING THE PASS: UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky has three straight 400-yard passing games and is yet to throw an interception this year. Meanwhile, receiver Ryan Switzer enters with a two-game ACC record of 30 catches in the Pitt and FSU wins, prompting Trubisky to say that it sometimes seems ''it's just me and him out there playing catch.'' But the Hokies' defense led by longtime coordinator Bud Foster ranks ninth nationally by allowing 264.3 yards per game and 10th against the pass.

HOKIES' ATTACK: Virginia Tech's offense is taking shape. The Hokies have scored at least 36 points in every game, the outlier coming when they lost five fumbles in a 45-24 loss to Tennessee. Junior college transfer Jerod Evans has started all four games, throwing for 13 touchdowns with just one interception.

DEFENSIVE CONCERNS: The Tar Heels are still up and down on defense. They struggled for three quarters against Pitt before coming up with two straight three-and-outs in the fourth quarter to set up the comeback win, then held FSU to 14 points through the first three quarters before giving up 21 in the final quarter. ''The players know it, and we are very adamant about getting those (mistakes) cleaned up,'' defensive coordinator Gene Chizik said. ''It's about time we do it, right?''

TELLING STRETCH: The Tar Heels are seeking to become the first repeat Coastal champion since the Hokies did it from 2010-11. This will be the third game in a critical four-week stretch that could put them in control of that race, assuming they can win Saturday and then again at No. 10 Miami next week.

WEATHER CONCERNS: Hurricane Matthew has been moving north since early in the week. That could affect game conditions with wind and rain, depending on the course the storm takes as it continues its trek into Friday evening.

Duke emphasizes ball security in visit from Army
October 7, 2016

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) If Duke can't keep its grip on the ball, the Blue Devils might lose control of their season, too.

A suddenly turnover-prone Duke team plays host to an improved Army on Saturday. The Blue Devils (2-3) rank last in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 123rd nationally in turnover margin, with 17 giveaways to 10 takeaways. The Black Knights (3-1) are fifth in the Bowl Subdivision in that stat category and had no turnovers in their first three games. Only two teams have turned it over less often.

''Army is a complete football team,'' Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.

And with Hurricane Matthew churning up the East Coast, and threatening to dump rain on Wallace Wade Stadium, ball security will be at even more of a premium.

''If it's windy and rainy, we've both got to kick the ball and throw the ball,'' Army coach Jeff Monken said. ''The ball will exchange hands and we've got to take care of it. I'm sure they're going to emphasize the same thing.''

That's a certainty - especially after how the Blue Devils' last game went.

Duke had six turnovers in a 34-20 loss to Virginia , including a fumble that was recovered for the game-sealing touchdown and five interceptions - with four of them coming in a 20-minute stretch of the first half. The Blue Devils haven't had fewer than three turnovers in any home game.

They'll have to overcome those self-inflicted wounds if they're going to turn the season around and reach their fifth straight bowl game.

Yet Cutcliffe insists the team has not - and will not - fracture.

''They know who the program is. They know what the program's about. That will never falter,'' Cutcliffe said. ''That's not going to change. We've said it for years that you don't ever run from it, you run to it - meaning challenges, problems, issues. ... Wherever you stumble, that's where your hidden treasure is buried. You just look for it.''

---

Some things to know about the Army-Duke game:

ARMY'S GROUND GAME: The Black Knights once again lead the nation in rushing - as they did in 2011 and '12 - averaging nearly 375 yards with their trademark triple-option offensive system. Their three starters in the backfield are sophomores and RB Andy Davidson leads the way with a 103-yard average and six touchdowns. ''Running the ball is one thing,'' Monken said, ''but the bottom line is you have to score points.''

GOOD KNIGHT ON D: Not to be outdone, Army's defense ranks 10th nationally, allowing 264 yards, and is ninth against the run, giving up 87.5 yards per game. ''Everybody wants to talk about their offense, but their defense causes you a lot of problems with their configuration,'' Cutcliffe said.

DUKE'S PRESSURE: The Blue Devils join a pair of top 10 teams - No. 1 Alabama and No. 6 Houston - with at least three sacks in every game this season. That streak might be in jeopardy this week because the run-first Black Knights have only thrown 29 passes all year.

FINISH STRONG: Army was unscored upon in the fourth quarters of its first three games, before blowing a 20-6 lead in the fourth quarter against Buffalo two weeks ago. The Blue Devils have been outscored 27-23 in their fourth quarters.

Auburn, Mississippi St trying to make move in SEC West
October 7, 2016

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) The last time Auburn played a football game at Mississippi State was 2014 when the Tigers were ranked No. 2 in the nation and the Bulldogs were No. 3. Both teams were undefeated and it was arguably the biggest home game in Mississippi State's history.

The stakes aren't as high this Saturday.

Auburn (3-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) and Mississippi State (2-2, 1-1) will both be unranked when they meet at Davis-Wade Stadium. The two teams have had some encouraging moments this season, but both are still trying to prove they can be a real factor in the SEC's Western Division race.

''It is going to be a good test,'' Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.

Auburn has won two games in a row, including last week's 58-7 victory over Louisiana-Monroe. The Tigers have also been competitive in losses to nationally-ranked Clemson and Texas A&M.

Mississippi State - which has won three of its last four against Auburn, including the 2014 game - hasn't played since Sept. 25 when it beat UMass 47-35 .

Sophomore quarterback Nick Fitzgerald leads the Bulldogs with 603 yards passing and 329 yards rushing this season. He had 305 yards passing and 110 yards rushing in the UMass win, making him just the third quarterback in the country this season to have a 300/100 game.

Fitzgerald said he's been impressed with Auburn's defense, which is giving up just 16.4 points per game this season despite playing three nationally-ranked opponents.

''They're definitely a really solid SEC defense,'' Fitzgerald said. ''Really strong up the middle with the defensive line and linebackers. We're going to have to work hard. When we're running we're going to have to move some bodies.''

-----

A few more things to watch when Mississippi State hosts Auburn on Saturday:

HELPING FITZGERALD: Most of Mississippi State's offense has run through Fitzgerald, who leads the team in passing and running. The sophomore could use some help against the Tigers. The most likely candidates are receivers Fred Ross and Donald Gray, along with running backs Brandon Holloway and Ashton Shumpert.

LEVELING UP: Tigers quarterback Sean White, who made his starting debut against Mississippi State last season, has thrown all five of his touchdown passes against two Sun Belt Conference defenses. In fact, Auburn produced two of its top four performances in total yards in those games against Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe while totaling three touchdowns in the other three games. White is averaging just 166 passing yards against the three Power 5 conference defenses he has faced.

IMPORTANT OCTOBER: Mississippi State has been to a bowl game for six straight seasons, which is a school record. The month of October will likely go a long way toward determining whether the Bulldogs can push the streak to seven. Mississippi State's next four games are winnable ones against Auburn, BYU, Kentucky and Samford. After that, the Bulldogs face four teams that are currently in the national rankings - Alabama, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Mississippi.

STRENGTH ON STRENGTH: Auburn leads the SEC with 269 yards rushing per game. The Tigers will go up against a Mississippi State defense that's solid against the run, giving up just 110.8 yards per game.

RED ZONE TROUBLES: Auburn managed to beat LSU with six field goals, but that also illustrates the Tigers' troubles in the red zone. They've scored touchdowns on just 11 of 27 trips inside the opponents' 20-yard line, a problem that plagued them against the Bulldogs last season.

Irish look for more improvement on D against NC State
October 7, 2016

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Notre Dame's defense might have figured a few things out, just in time for a different kind of test - an efficient North Carolina State offense in a possible downpour.

Notre Dame (2-3) visits the Wolfpack (3-1) on Saturday in a game that could be affected by the threat of severe weather from Hurricane Matthew .

''We'll deal with the elements,'' coach Brian Kelly said, ''just like North Carolina State will.''

Maybe, but that hardly seems like the recipe for success for a defense that struggled earlier this season. Those problems culminated in a 38-35 loss to Duke that cost defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder his job.

Kelly promoted analyst Greg Hudson to replace him and took a more hands-on role on that side of the ball, and after a wacky start last week against Syracuse's ultra-fast-paced offense, they settled down and held the Orange to seven points in the second half of a 50-33 victory.

''They're doing less, and they're doing it better,'' N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said.

The Fighting Irish showed improvement that didn't necessarily translate to the stat sheet: Notre Dame still ranks 100th or worse nationally in three of the four major stat categories. They're 106th in total defense and 100th in scoring defense.

Now comes a test from an N.C. State offense that has hung at least 30 points on every opponent it's faced, behind quarterback Ryan Finley - a Boise State transfer who completes nearly 73 percent of his passes and has yet to throw an interception.

New N.C. State offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz says he wants his unit to be even more efficient and cited a metric - points per possession - that basketball coaches often rely upon.

''All that other stuff really doesn't matter,'' Drinkwitz said. ''How many times you get the football and how many times you get points on the scoreboard. That's where we've got to be better and continue to improve.''

---

Some things to know about the Notre Dame-NC State game:

MATTHEW'S MARCH: Both teams are keeping an eye on the weather maps , with Matthew churning his way up the East Coast. Kelly says his team has made contingency plans in case the game is pushed back until Sunday afternoon, and the league has been in contact with the programs in case the weather is too severe. ''Planes, trains, automobiles, all the logistics have been taken care of,'' Kelly said.

IRISH OFFENSE: There's nothing wrong with the Notre Dame offense. The Fighting Irish have not been held to fewer than 28 points and they've surpassed 500 total yards in each of their last two games, both against ACC opponents. That will pose some challenges for an N.C. State defense that has been strong against the run - holding two opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing - but at times vulnerable through the air. ''They're going to make some plays. I mean, they're good,'' Doeren said. ''We're just going to have to get them on the ground and line up and play again and try to get some turnovers.''

PENALTY PROBLEM: N.C. State was called for 13 penalties - its most since 2012 - and assessed 144 penalty yards in a 33-16 win over Wake Forest. The Wolfpack won't have S Shawn Boone for the first half after he was ejected for targeting, and they know they have to clean things up with the Irish coming in.

CARTER-FINLEY'S 50th: This game comes on the 50th anniversary of the day Carter-Finley Stadium opened, and the Wolfpack are marking the occasion by breaking out throwback uniforms with the ''diamond'' logo on the helmets. Doeren calls it ''a pretty neat thing for our fanbase.''

Kentucky, Vanderbilt each look to get to 3-3 on the season
October 7, 2016

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Kentucky looks to get even on many fronts against Vanderbilt.

The Wildcats (2-3, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) get another crack at reaching .500 and aim to finish the deal on Saturday against the Commodores (2-3, 0-2 SEC) after missing opportunities to do so last November in Nashville. That 21-17 loss - in which Vanderbilt made two goal-line defensive stands and scored a trick-play touchdown - was one of six defeats in seven contests down the stretch that cost Kentucky a chance to become bowl eligible.

Wildcats coach Mark Stoops acknowledged Monday that the defeat would ''bother'' him for the rest of his life but quickly added that this is a new season. Getting halfway toward a postseason berth could help lessen some bad memories.

''That game last year really hurt the team a lot,'' Kentucky defensive end/linebacker Denzil Ware said. ''We really want this win.''

Meanwhile, Vanderbilt seeks its first SEC win.

The Commodores had their chances last week against then-No. 23 Florida, outgaining the Gators 265-236. But two turnovers and two sacks culminated in a 13-6 loss, their latest in a recent string of close defeats against Florida.

Narrow losses have been the story for Vandy in SEC play this season, a trend the Commodores hope to end against Kentucky and provide their first league road win since 2013.

''It just lets us know that we're there,'' Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said of his team, which has lost by nine combined points. ''This team hasn't been jaded at all. ... I believe that this group fully expects to play well this weekend.''

---

Other things to watch as Vanderbilt and Kentucky look to get into the win column:

DEFENSIVE PROGRESS: Despite yielding 488 yards in last week's 34-6 loss at No. 1 Alabama, Kentucky took heart in holding the Crimson Tide to a season-low in points (a fumble was returned for one score) and keeping an opponent below 500 yards for a second straight game. Though the Wildcats still rank last in the SEC at 468 yards allowed per game, defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot saw hope in making the nation's top team work harder than expected. ''The more pressure situations you can put them in, the better they'll perform,'' he said.

RUNNING BACK MATCHUP: The game pits two of the SEC's top-five rushers in Vanderbilt junior Ralph Webb - whose 582 yards lead the conference - and Kentucky's Stanley ''Boom'' Williams (486). Both backs broke 100 yards last year in Nashville and figure to play key roles again on Saturday. Webb rushed for 110 yards against Florida, while Williams seeks to rebound from running nine times for just 22 yards at Alabama.

BALL PROTECTION: Kentucky's minus-7 turnover margin ranks last in the SEC and last week's loss typified the Wildcats struggles. Quarterback Stephen Johnson fumbled three times while being sacked and lost two of them, with Alabama returning one 55 yards for a touchdown. Stoops believes that Johnson ''will bounce back and put ball-security issues behind him,'' which is necessary against a Vandy squad that's plus-3 with six fumble recoveries.

VISORED UP: Vanderbilt quarterback Kyle Shurmur will wear a shield on his helmet after being poked in the right eye in last week's loss to Florida. Shurmur, whose eye remained red Tuesday, tried to argue his way back onto the field against the Gators. Shurmur has thrown for 696 yards with three TDs and three interceptions this season. ''His sight is good, just for protective purposes we're putting a shield on him just so it doesn't happen again,'' Mason said.

Best Bets - Week 6
October 7, 2016

Now that the LSU/Florida game this week has been cancelled because of Hurricane Matthew, voiding my best bet on Florida +3, it was time to go back to the drawing board for this week's college football card. There were a few other games featuring ranked teams that narrowly missed out on being on that first piece, so I'm turning to one of those games that comes from the Pac-12 for my alternate best bet this week.

Sportsbook.ag Odds: #5 Washington (-10) vs. Oregon (+10); Total set at 69

Washington jumped up to #5 in the polls this week thanks to their dominating performance over Stanford in primetime last week and now the Huskies are in the new role of maintaining that top tier spot the rest of the way. There is no denying how good Washington looked in dismantling Stanford, but that game was also at home and was built up to be a “game of the year” type contest by Washington all summer and leading up to it. For as good as they are, Washington isn't a program that's used to being the top dog and this week they've got to defend that status in a very tough place to play that's been a house of horrors for them this century.

Oregon isn't the powerhouse this year that we've seen in recent years and are coming off three straight defeats, the last of which was a 18-point defeat as a small favorite against the other school from the state of Washington. In fact, Oregon has yet to cash a spread on the closing number (0-4-1 ATS) and when you combine that with how good Washington has looked, it's no wonder that most of the early money has come Washington's way, moving the line up from it's opener of -8.

However, Eugene, Oregon is always a tough place to come in and get a win for a visiting team and while Oregon might not be as good as we've seen in the past, this team can still put up points with the best of them and that's always a plus for any underdog in college football betting. The Ducks are also 11-0-1 ATS in their last 12 games against the Huskies and that includes a 6-0-1 ATS run at home. Autzen Stadium truly has been a house of horrors for this Washington program for a number of years, and even though many of the players weren't there for the bulk of those defeats, that type of domination still weighs on a program, especially when they are 0-10 SU at any venue against Oregon the past 10 years.

Furthermore, when you think about all the hype and emotion that went into Washington's big win over Stanford this week, it's tough to see the Huskies being anywhere near as sharp in this spot. Washington would love to get revenge for a 6-point home loss as -2.5 point favorites vs the Ducks last year – and more than likely will win this game outright – but asking them to go on the road in a place they've never done well in and win by double digits is a lot to ask.

We've seen before that when people get down on Oregon because of their inability to stop the opposition (like giving up 51 @ Washington State last week) and their offense having execution problems at times. Going up against this Washington defense will be the toughest test to date for Oregon, but with 32 or more points in all five of their games this year, don't sleep on the Ducks this week.

This is only the second true road game for the Huskies and their first one was a seven-point OT win @ Arizona two weeks ago as 16-point favorites. This game could end up playing out a lot like that contest did and while Washington should win this game, they won't cover the spread.

Take Oregon +10

Saturday's SEC Action
October 7, 2016

**Tennessee at Texas A&M**

-- Tennessee is poised to take its 11-game winning streak into College Station to face unbeaten Texas A&M. As of early Friday afternoon, most betting shops were listing the Aggies as seven-point favorites with a total of 57 points. The Volunteers were +230 on the money line (risk $100 to win $230).

-- With Thursday’s developments – LSU at Florida being postponed with the possibility that the game might not be played at all – coming about, Tennessee is under even more pressure to win. According to a response from the SEC to a question posed by Kyle Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, if Tennessee loses twice in SEC play (it has to face top-ranked Alabama next week) and Florida win its remaining conference games, the Gators would win the East instead of the Vols. UF would have a 6-1 SEC record, while UT would go 6-2 (assuming it wins the remaining SEC games after losses to A&M and Alabama). Therefore, UF’s “best winning percentage” would rule the day. This would be a gross injustice to Tennessee if this scenario plays out, but it appears to be a possibility at this time. Therefore, the best way to avoid it is to capture a win at Kyle Field this weekend.

-- The extra pressure from the aforementioned scenario could be just what the doctor ordered for a Tennessee squad that has been forced to overcome four double-digit deficits on its way to winning its first five games. UT trailed by 11 in its season opener, fell behind 14-0 in Week 2, was in a one-possession game with Ohio in the fourth quarter, was down 21-0 at home to a UF team that had beaten it in 11 straight meetings and then dealt with all sorts of obstacles in Athens last weekend. The Vols needed 20 yards of gift-wrapped penalties from Georgia and a Hail Mary pass on the game’s final play to get out of Sanford Stadium with a victory last weekend.

-- UGA jumped on UT 17-0 in the first half, but Butch Jones’s team trimmed to deficit to 17-7 on a four-yard touchdown run by Josh Dobbs with 12 ticks remaining in the second quarter. Then with 10:31 left in the third, Dobbs hooked up with Jalen Hurd on a 19-yard scoring strike. UGA would go back ahead by double digits on a 50-yard TD pass from Jacob Eason to Isaac Nauta. Then on the opening play of the final stanza, Dobbs found Alvin Kamara for a 16-yard TD pass. With 2:56 remaining, the Vols took their first lead when Derek Barnett hit Eason in the end zone and caused a fumble that was recovered by Corey Vereen for a TD. Then with 10 seconds left, Eason made up for his critical mistake by hitting Riley Ridley with a dart for an incredible 47-yard TD pass. However, the ensuing celebration prompted a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Then on the kickoff, UGA gave UT another five yards by being offside. This left the Vols with one play and Dobbs’s 43-yard pass to the end zone was caught by Jauan Jennings for the game-winning score.

-- Dobbs has completed 77-of-133 passes (57.9%) for 1,035 yards with a 13/6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He has also rushed for 267 yards and five TDs with a 4.1 yards-per-carry average. Hurd has rushed for a team-best 407 yards and two TDs with a 4.0 YPC average. Josh Malone has been Dobbs’s favorite target, hauling in 15 receptions for 310 yards and five TDs. Jennings has 12 catches for 213 yards and three TDs.

-- Texas A&M (5-0 straight up, 4-1 against the spread) went to Columbia last week without two elite WRs, Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil, and perhaps the best player in the nation in junior DE Myles Garrett. This trio was left behind to get treatment and rest up for this week’s showdown against the Vols. The Aggies won a 24-13 decision at South Carolina, but they never threatened to cover the number as 19.5-point road ‘chalk.’ The 37 combined points fell ‘under’ the 50.5-point total. Trayveon Williams rushed for 98 yards and one TD on 14 carries, while Trevor Knight rushed for 84 yards and one score on 12 attempts. Knight completed 23-of-40 passes for 206 yards with zero TD passes and one interception. Christian Kirk had 12 receptions for 61 yards, while Jeremy Tabuyo had four catches for 89 yards.

-- Texas A&M is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home this year, beating UCLA (31-24 in overtime) and Prairie View A&M (67-0). The Aggies have additional victories at Auburn (29-16) and vs. Arkansas (45-24 in Arlington at Jerry World).

-- Knight has connected on 98-of-181 throws (54.1%) for 1,261 yards with a 7/3 TD-INT ratio. The grad transfer from Oklahoma has rushed for 392 yards and six TDs with a 7.8 YPC average. Williams has run for a team-high 487 yards and four TDs with an eye-popping 9.0 YPC average. Reynolds has 20 receptions for 399 yards and three TDs, while Kirk has 33 catches for 272 yards and three TDs.

-- Tennessee (5-0 SU, 2-3 ATS) has wins vs. Appalachian St. (20-13 in overtime), vs. Va. Tech (45-24 in Bristol), vs. Ohio (28-19), vs. Florida (38-28) and at Georgia (34-31). The Vols failed to cover the spread last week in Athens as 3.5-point road favorites. The 65 combined points went ‘over’ on Eason’s TD pass with 10 seconds left.

-- Tennessee has been a road underdog nine times on Jones’s watch, going 4-5 ATS. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is 11-14 ATS in 25 games as a road favorite during Sumlin’s five-year tenure.

-- Texas A&M is ranked 12th in the nation in scoring defense, giving up only 15.4 points per game. This unit is led by Garrett, who has 11 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks and six QB hurries in four games. Senior LB Shaan Washington has a team-high 38 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s, two sacks, two forced fumbles, four QB hurries and five passes broken up.

-- Tennessee will be without two of its best defensive players in LB Darrin Kirkland and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin. Kirkland had 66 tackles and three sacks last season, while Reeves-Maybin recorded a team-best 105 tackles, six sacks, eight TFL’s, four passes broken up and three QB hurries. Also, according to a Thursday night report from 247Sports, Hurd is “unlikely to play” due to an undisclosed injury. This will mean more touches for Kamara, who has rushed for 158 yards on the season. Kamara has more speed than Hurd but less size.

-- The ‘under’ is 3-1-1 overall for the Aggies, going 1-0-1 in their two home games at Kyle Field. They have seen their games average combined scores of 54.6 PPG.

-- The ‘over’ is 3-2 overall for Tennessee with its games averaging combined scores of 56.0 PPG.

-- This is the first time these teams have met since A&M joined the SEC in 2012. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS.

**Alabama at Arkansas**

-- As of early Friday afternoon, most books had Alabama (5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) listed as a 14-point favorite with a total of 49. The Razorbacks were +450 on the money line.

-- Nick Saban’s team has been a road favorite 36 times during his 10-year tenure, compiling a 21-15 spread record.

-- Alabama improved to 2-0 in SEC play with last week’s 34-6 win over Kentucky as a 37-point home ‘chalk.’ The 40 combined points fell ‘under’ the 54.5-point tally. True freshman QB Jalen Hurts hit 20-of-33 passes for 262 yards and two TDs without an interception. Joshua Jacobs, another true freshman, ran for a team-best 100 yards and one TD on 16 carries. Calvin Ridley produced 11 receptions for 174 yards and two TDs.

-- Hurts won the starting job with his solid play in a 52-6 season-opening win over Southern Cal at Jerry World in Arlington, TX. He left no doubt that he is the present and the future QB in Tuscaloosa when he sparked his team from a 24-3 deficit to an eventual 48-43 win at Ole Miss in Week 3. Hurts led the Crimson Tide with 146 rushing yards against the Rebels. He has completed 84-of-135 passes for 989 yards with a 7/1 TD-INT ratio. Hurts has run for 276 yards and three TDs with a 5.1 YPC average.

-- Ridley might be the nation’s top WR. The true sophomore has hauled in 31 receptions for 398 yards and three TDs. He also has a rushing score to his credit. ArDarius Stewart was off to a flying start this year until sprained his knee in the second quarter of the win at Ole Miss. He has missed back-to-back games but is ‘probable’ to return against the Hogs. Stewart had four catches for 113 yards and two TDs in the blowout of USC. Then in a 38-10 win over Western Ky. in Week 2, he had five catches for 90 yards and one TD. O.J. Howard is one of the top tight ends in the country. He has 12 catches for 165 yards and one TD.

-- Damien Harris didn’t get many touches last week against UK because he was nursing an injury sustained in a 48-0 win over Kent St. Nevertheless, the true sophomore RB has rushed for a team-high 356 yards and one TD with a 8.5 YPC average. Jacobs has run for 250 yards and three TDs while averaging 7.4 YPC.

-- Alabama ranks eighth in the nation in total defense, third in rush defense and ninth in scoring (13.0 PPG). This stop unit is led by senior LB Rueben Foster, who has 35 tackles, 1.5 TFL’s, 0.5 sacks and a pair of QB hurries. Senior DE Jonathan Allen, who was a third-team All-American selection in 2015, has 22 tackles, four sacks, four QB hurries, one blocked kick and a 75-yard fumble return for a TD. Senior safety Eddie Jackson has 14 tackles. 1.5 TFL’s, two PBU and has scored TDs on a 55-yard pick-six and a punt return.

-- Arkansas (4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) has wins vs. Louisiana Tech (21-20), at TCU (41-38 in double overtime), vs. Texas State (42-3) and vs. Alcorn State (52-10 in Little Rock). The Razorbacks took their only defeat against Texas A&M by a 45-24 count at Jerry World. However, the final score was extremely misleading. Bret Bielema’s bunch was stopped on a fourth-and-goal play when the game was tied at 17-17 late in the third quarter.

-- Arkansas bounced back from the loss to A&M to spank Alcorn St., but it failed to hook up its backers as a 50.5-point favorite. Austin Allen completed 13-of-18 passes for 206 yards and three TDs without an interception. Devwah Whaley rushed for a team-high 135 yards and one TD on just nine carries, while Rawleigh Williams ran for 126 yards on 13 attempts. Jared Cornelius had four catches for 106 yards and two TDs. Junior CB Henre Toliver had a 70-yard pick-six.

-- Allen has been outstanding in his first five starts since taking over the vacant starting QB position left behind by his older brother Brandon, who is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He took a beating from Texas A&M's pass rush but continued to play well the entire game. Allen has connected on 94-of-139 passes (67.6%) for 1,232 yards with a 12/2 TD-INT ratio. Williams has rushed for 559 yards and four TDs while averaging 5.5 YPC. Whaley has run for 220 yards and one TD with a 6.7 YPC average.

-- Arkansas has a deep and talent group of WRs led by Keon Hatcher and Drew Morgan. Hatcher missed the Alcorn State game nursing a hamstring injury, but he was upgraded to ‘probable’ after practicing on Wednesday. Morgan has 28 receptions for 301 yards and one TD, while Hatcher has 14 grabs for 281 yards and three TDs. Jared Cornelius has 14 catches for 262 yards and four TDs, while TE Jeremy Sprinkle has caught 15 balls for 157 yards and three TDs. Sprinkle’s TD catch on a fourth-down play late in the fourth quarter lifted the Hogs past Louisana Tech in the opener.

-- Arkansas is 4-4 ATS with a pair of outright victories in eight games as a home underdog on Bielema’s watch. This is just the second time during Bielema’s tenure that the Hogs have been double-digit home ‘dogs. They took the cash in 2013 in a 45-33 loss to Texas A&M as 13.5-point puppies.

-- The ‘under’ is 3-2 overall for the Hogs, cashing in all three of their home outings. Their games have averaged combined scores of 59.2 PPG.

-- The ‘under’ is 3-2 overall for ‘Bama after cashing in back-to-back games. The ‘over’ hit in its lone previous road assignment at Ole Miss.

-- ESPN will have the telecast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Georgia has lost three in a row to South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium. This game has been postponed to Sunday with the time slot tentatively set for 2:30 p.m. Eastern. The game was off the board early Friday afternoon, but the Bulldogs were favored by seven with a total of 40.5 for most of the week.

-- Auburn is a 2.5-point favorite at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have had two weeks to prep for the Tigers, who are off a 58-7 home win over ULM. Dan Mullen’s team has won back-to-back games over AU and three of the last four. Most important for our purposes, MSU is 4-0 ATS in the last four encounters with Auburn. The ‘under’ is also on a 4-0 run in this rivalry and has hit in eight of the last 10.

-- Kentucky is a 3.5-point home favorite against Vanderbilt. UK is 8-5 ATS as a home favorite since Mark Stoops took over in 2013. Meanwhile, the Commodores are 7-5 ATS in 12 games as a road underdog on Derek Mason’s watch. Obviously, both coaches are in dire need of a win in terms of their job security.

-- With Cincinnati starting QB Hayden Moore ‘doubtful’ at UConn due to an ankle injury, Tommy Tuberville is going to give the starting nod to redshirt freshman Ross Trail. Gunner Kiel, the senior who left the Bearcats before last year’s bowl game and didn’t participate in spring practice due to personal reasons, was once the No. 1 ranked recruit in the nation. He was set to go to LSU, only to change his mind and register for classes at Notre Dame during the spring of his senior year of high school. Kiel never played for the Fighting Irish and eventually landed at Cincy. He threw 14 TD passes in his first four games with the Bearcats, but his hiatus from the team (understandably) caused him to fall out of favor with Tuberville. How about this quote from Tubs earlier this week: “I’m a Gunnier Kiel fan, but we play the best guy, that knows the offense, that’s ready to play.” When Tubs was asked if Kiel doesn’t know the offense, he replied, “He knows it, he’s getting better at it. He missed spring ball. Zach [Taylor, the first-year offensive coordinator] doesn’t know Gunner Kiel. He treats them all the same. It’s his offense. It’s football. Next best guy goes in. Gunner has had a good career here. Not great. He has thrown a lot of interceptions.” Damn!

-- Pitt is 1-6 ATS as a home favorite since Pat Narduzzi took over in 2015. The Panthers, who have seen the ‘over’ hit in each of their last four games, are 6.5-point home ‘chalk’ vs. Georgia Tech.

-- Washington State owns a 15-6 spread record in 21 games as a road underdog on Mike Leach’s watch. The Cougars are 7.5-point ‘dogs at Stanford.
