Week 2 Rewind
Brian Edwards

Georgia stole the show in Week 2 by going on the road and winning 41-17 at South Carolina as an 8.5-point road favorite. UGA raced out to a 14-0 lead before the crowd could get comfortable in their seats.

On a third-and-seven play on USC’s opening drive, junior quarterback Jake Bentley hit junior RB Rico Dowdle in the hands with a pass that was going to come up short of the first-down marker. But Dowdle couldn’t handle the throw, which went through his hands and hit off his shoulder pads along the sidelines.

The ball bounced off Dowdle’s pads into the air and was caught by Deandre Baker, who returned the interception 56 yards to the fringe of the end zone. Baker then pulled a DeSean Jackson (circa MNF at Dallas when he was with the Eagles) and dropped the ball in celebration before he was across the plane of the end zone.

Fortunately for Baker, Juwan Taylor saw his teammates’ potentially crucial mistake and jumped on the ball to get credit for the TD. Two players later on a third-and-eight play, Bentley threw to Dowdle again. And once more, he dropped the pass, this time for what would’ve been a first-down conversion.

UGA promptly drove down the field in four plays and capped the drive with a D’Andre Swift TD run to silence the crowd and take a 14-0 advantage. To its credit, Will Muschamp’s team answered with an 11-play, 75-yard drive to trim the deficit to 14-7. Deebo Samuel found Bryan Edwards for a 13-yard TD pass off a gadget play.

The teams would trade field goals and USC was on the move and into UGA territory late in the second quarter. During that drive, it started to seem as if the Gamecocks might’ve taken Georgia’s best punch, only to weather that storm, and might be on the cusp of getting even just before intermission.

Well, not so much. The Gamecocks’ drive would stall on the fringe of field-goal range, and then UGA’s two-minute offense produced a field goal before halftime for a 20-10 lead. Georgia received to start the second half and produced a TD drive. Then after a defensive stop, UGA would score again to go ahead 34-10 and the outcome was no longer in doubt early in the third quarter.

Jimbo Fisher’s rebuilding job at Texas A&M might not take long. The Aggies certainly looked the part Saturday night in front of an electric crowd at Kyle Field, where they played host to Clemson, a program that’s been to the College Football Playoffs for three straight seasons.

The Tigers were able to get on the airplane to go back home unscathed, but they had to dodge a serious bullet in College Station. Dabo Swinney’s club won a 28-26 decision, but Texas A&M easily took the cash as a 12-point home underdog. The 54 combined points inched ‘over’ the 50.5-point total in the final minute.

Trailing 28-13 going into the fourth quarter, the Aggies made it a one-possession game when Kellen Mond found Quartney Davis for a 14-yard scoring strike with 14:07 remaining. With 46 seconds left, Mond avoided pressure and scrambled to his left and then zipped a dart high into traffic, and Kendrick Rogers elevated to make a spectacular TD grab. However, the two-point conversion failed and the onside kick was unsuccessful.

As gut-wrenching as the defeat was, Fisher had to feel great about producing 501 yards of total offense (compared to Clemson’s 413 yards) against one of the nation’s best defenses. Mond threw for 430 yards and three TDs without an interception. Rogers had seven receptions for 120 yards and two TDs.

Clemson’s Kelly Bryant threw for 205 yards and one TD without an interception. He also ran for a team-best 54 yards and one TD.

Stanford captured a 17-3 win over USC as a five-point home favorite. After being shut down by San Diego State’s defense in a 31-10 season opening win, senior RB Bryce Love rushed for 136 yards and one TD on 22 attempts. TE Kaden Smith had four catches for 77 yards for the Cardinal, which avenged a pair of losses to the Trojans last year.

Kentucky ended the longest active losing streak in an FBS rivalry when it won a 27-16 decision at Florida. The Wildcats had lost 31 straight games to the Gators and hadn’t won in Gainesville since 1979.

UK senior RB Benny Snell gashed the UF defense for 175 rushing yards on 27 carries. QB Terry Wilson ran for 105 yards and one TD on 10 attempts, in addition to completing 11-of-16 passes for 151 yards and two TDs with one interception. The ‘Cats won outright as 13.5-point road underdogs, hooking up money-line supporters with a +425 payout (paid $425 on $100 wagers).

After throwing five TD passes without an interception in a blowout win over FCS foe Charleston Southern last week, third-year sophomore QB Feleipe Franks completed only 17-of-38 passes for 232 yards and two TDs with one interception and a fumble that was returned for a TD on the game’s final play.

If you’re a Gator fan and UF alum (my hand is raised), what was most galling was what we saw out of the offense late in the fourth quarter. When you’re down by 11 points, how on earth is there any thought process other than scoring a TD and then, most importantly (BY FAR!!!), converting a two-point conversion?

I really can’t put into words how much my blood was boiling when Franks found Freddie Swain for a four-yard TD pass with 3:34 remaining. At this point, any QB with a clue signals to his teammates to immediately huddle up and get ready for the two-point conversion. Truth be told, it should be coached into the entire offensive unit that that’s the scenario, but it’s your QB that must lead in this situation. And he should’ve mentioned it beforehand in the huddle a time or two during the drive.

Instead, the entire offense swarms Swain in the end zone celebrating a TD. This is so disturbing on so many levels. First of all, what the hell is there to celebrate about cutting the deficit to five against a UK team you’ve beaten 31 times in a row with less than four minutes remaining and only one timeout left?

Nothing! Nothing is the answer to that question. When the television cameras focused in on Franks, he was literally running off the field without a clue and the play clock was already down to 17 seconds. In other words, it hadn’t even occurred to Franks yet that his team had to go for two. Finally, the offense had to hurriedly huddle up and get a play called.

There was four seconds remaining on the play clock when the Gators broke the huddle. They didn’t get the play off, but the referees inexplicably didn’t whistle them for a delay-of-game flag. The two-point conversion predictably failed and Dan Mullen nearly had to burn his last timeout due to the incompetence of a QB who had zero awareness of time and score.

Ok, let’s move on. As Auburn can attest to circa 2014, it’s not easy to win at Kansas State. Mississippi State made it look that way, though. Joe Moorhead’s club went into Manhattan and dominated from start to finish in a 31-10 victory as a 6.5-point road ‘chalk.’ Sophomore RB Kylin Hill ran for 211 yards and two TDs on only 17 carries, while QB Nick Fitzgerald produced 159 rushing yards on 19 attempts. The Bulldogs enjoyed a 538-213 advantage in total offense.

Arkansas had a 27-9 lead at winless Colorado State midway through the third quarter, but Mike Bobo’s team rallied to win a 34-27 decision as a 14-point home underdog. The Razorbacks joined Tennessee and Texas A&M as the only SEC teams to lose non-conference contests so far, although the Aggies acquitted themselves extremely well.

Missouri generated 601 yards of total offense against one of the nation’s best Group of Five defenses in a 40-13 home win over Wyoming. Drew Lock connected on 33-of-45 passes for 398 yards and four TDs without an interception. We’ll find out more about the Tigers this week when they go on the road in revenge mode to face a Purdue team’s that’s in desperation mode after dropping a pair of nail-biters at home vs. Northwestern and Eastern Michigan.

I feel like at least 90 percent of college football scribes destroyed Arizona State for hiring Herm Edwards. I was in the minority, praising the hire of a coach who has infectious energy and wreaks of class and integrity. The thinking here was that he’d be able to motivate and recruit extremely well, traits that have led some coaches to enormous success even if when they didn’t have a clue about clock management and other in-game decisions (yes, Les Miles to come to mind here). And after coaching in the NFL for as long as Edwards did, he certainly knows what he’s doing with in-game moves.

This was on full display Saturday night in Tempe as Edwards milked the entire clock to allow his kicker to make a game-winning field goal in walk-off fashion. ASU and Michigan State were tied and the Sun Devils were in the red zone with about 1:45 remaining and had a first down. If you score on the next play, the Spartans have plenty of time to answer and force overtime.

Edwards opted to kneel on it a few times and have the game decided on a chip-shot FG. The strategy worked and ASU improved to 2-0 with a 16-13 win over the Spartans, who brought back 19 starters from a 10-3 team, as a 4.5-point home underdog. The Sun Devils have another tough non-conference game on deck at San Diego State, and the early returns on the Edwards hire are making most national pundits look foolish.

Staying in the Pac-12 South, the hire of Kevin Sumlin at Arizona is a different story compared to the new guy at arch-rival ASU. The Wildcats lost 45-18 at Houston, which was losing to Rice at halftime of its opener last week. Khalil Tate, who ran for 1,411 yards and averaged 9.2 yards per carry in 2017, has run for a total of 22 yards on 15 attempts through two games.

Hawaii QB Cole McDonald continues to light it up. The Warriors knocked off Rice 43-29 to improve to 3-0, but the Owls covered the number as 17-point road underdogs. Bettors on the ‘over’ like me got a super-fortunate win when three TDs were scored in the game’s final 3:01.

In his first three career starts, McDonald has thrown for 1,165 yards and 13 TDs without being intercepted. He’s also run for 125 yards and two TDs, and he’s only been sacked five times. Hawaii is in a horrific travel spot this week at Army in a noon Eastern kick. The Warriors were 6.5-point underdogs as of early Monday afternoon. Remember, they have already won outright at Colorado State (+17) and vs. Navy (+13) when catching a double-digit ‘dog number.

**Quick Hitters**

-- Houston is 2-0 and QB D’Eriq King has a 7/0 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

-- LSU’s Joe Burrow wasn’t nearly as sharp in a 31-0 home win over SE Louisiana.

-- Eastern Michigan is 12-1 ATS in its past 13 games as a road underdog after winning 20-19 at Purdue on a late FG.

-- Maryland was in a letdown spot at Bowling Green and trailed 14-10 at intermission. The Terrapins outscored the Falcons 35-0 in the second half, however, to win by a 45-14 count. They enjoyed a 565-158 advantage in total offense.

-- Texas looked awful again in a 28-21 non-covering home win over Tulsa. The Longhorns host USC this week after losing to the Trojans in double overtime last year.

-- Shea Patterson threw three TD passes without an interception in Michigan’s 49-3 win over Western Michigan.

-- Syracuse QB Eric Dungey is the country’s most important player to his team.

-- Samford enjoyed a 535-457 advantage in total offense in its 36-26 loss at Florida State as a 31-point underdog. The Bulldogs, who jumped out to a 13-0 lead midway through the first quarter and had two different nine-point leads, took a 23-21 advantage into the fourth quarter and the Seminoles didn’t get their first lead of the season until scoring a go-ahead TD with 4:03 remaining. A 63-yard pick-six by Levonta Taylor created the misleading final score in FSU’s favor.

-- The Sonny Dykes Era at SMU is off to a dreadful start.

-- It’s only two games, but Barry Odom’s hire of OC Derek Dooley is looking good so far (I had my doubts coming into the season).

-- Vandy has blown out Middle Tennessee (35-7) and Nevada (41-10) to start Derek Mason’s crucial fifth season with a 2-0 record. The Commodores travel to South Bend to take on Notre Dame in Week 3. The other two SEC coaches considered to be on the hot seat entering the 2018 campaign are also 2-0 (LSU’s Ed Orgeron and UK’s Mark Stoops).

Week 3 Injury Update
Brian Edwards

Let’s get you caught up on the most important injuries effecting a bunch of teams moving forward…

-- Oklahoma star RB Rodney Anderson is out for the season with a knee injury sustained in his team’s home win over UCLA this past Saturday. Anderson was a second-team All-Big-12 selection last year when he ran for 1,161 yards and 13 touchdowns with a 6.2 yards-per-carry average. He also had 17 catches for 281 yards and five TDs as a freshman. Anderson had 119 rushing yards and three TDs on just 11 attempts (10.8 YPC) so far this year. The Sooners are in revenge mode Saturday at Iowa St., which won 38-31 in Norman last year as a 31-point underdog. Also, junior starting DT Marquise Overton (appendix) is ‘out’ for OU. Overton had 43 tackles, three tackles for loss and one QB hurry in 2017.

-- OU isn’t the only team that lost its star RB in Week 2. Minnesota’s Rodney Smith also went down with a season-ending knee injury. Smith, a fifth-year senior, will apply for a sixth year of eligibility and P.J. Fleck told the media on Monday that he fully expects the NCAA to grant him another season. Smith ran for 977 yards and three TDs in ’17, averaging 4.3 YPC.

-- There are four QBs that have already been ruled ‘out’ for Week 3. Let’s start with Iowa State’s Kyle Kempt, who orchestrated the aforementioned upset at OU last year by completing 18-of-24 throws for 343 yards and three TDs without an interception. Kempt sustained a knee injury that’ll keep him on the sidelines for at least one game in his team’s 13-3 loss at Iowa this past Saturday. Kempt led the Cyclones to their first bowl bid since 2012 in ’17 when he threw for 1,787 yards (66.3% completions) with a 15/3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Sophomore Zeb Noland is expected to get his second career start. Noland completed just 4-of-10 passes for 43 yards in relief of Kempt at Iowa.

-- Duke captured a bittersweet 21-7 win at Northwestern as a short underdog this past Saturday. Junior QB Daniel Jones injured his left clavicle and underwent surgery Sunday. He is out indefinitely. Jones has started 27 games in a row since the day he stepped on campus as a freshman. He had completed 29-of-39 passes (74.4%) for 389 yards and four TDs without an interception through two games. Jones has 5,916 career passing yards and a 34/20 TD-INT ratio. He also has 1,044 career rushing yards and 15 TDs. Unfortunately for David Cutcliffe, this wasn’t the only key injury for the Blue Devils. Junior CB Mark Gilbert had season-ending hip surgery on Sunday. He was a first-team All-ACC selection in ’17 when he had 35 tackles, 15 passes broken up, six interceptions and three TFL’s. Gilbert was a fourth-team All-American pick in Phil Steele’s preseason magazine, while Steele had senior safety Jeremy McDuffie as a preseason third-team All-ACC selection. McDuffie, who was a third-team All-ACC choice last year when he tallied 57 tackles, nine PBU, three interceptions, on pick-six, one QB hurry and 0.5 TFL’s, is listed as ‘questionable’ Saturday at Baylor due to an undisclosed injury. And finally, WR Aaron Young is also a question mark with an undisclosed issue. Young had 16 catches for 219 yards and one TD in ’17.

-- San Diego State senior QB Christian Chapman (13/4 TD-INT in ’17) is ‘out’ for the next 3-6 weeks with a sprained MCL sustained in his team’s 28-14 home win. The Aztecs will play host to unbeaten Arizona St. on Saturday.

-- New Mexico QB Tevaka Tuioti is ‘out’ Saturday at New Mexico St. due to a concussion. Also, back-up QB Coltin Gerhart is a ‘questionable’ with a foot injury.

-- There also a bunch of QBs listed as ‘questionable’ in Week 3, including Illinois signal caller A.J. Bush, Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez (knee), Rutgers’s Artur Sitkowski (arm), Texas Tech’s McLane Carter (ankle) and Southern Cal’s J.T. Daniels (hand).

-- Ole Miss WR DaMarkus Lodge missed this past week’s 76-41 home win over Southern Illinois due to concussion symptoms. He is still in concussion protocol and day to day. Lodge had 41 receptions for 698 yards and seven TDs last season. He had six catches for 96 yards in a 47-27 win over Texas Tech in the Rebels’ opener.

-- Florida was without its two best defensive players, LB David Reese and DE CeCe Jefferson, in Saturday’s 27-16 home loss vs. Kentucky. Reese, a fourth-team preseason All-American in Steele’s mag, has missed the first two games with a high-ankle sprain sustained in late August. Jefferson has been suspended for the first two UF games. Dan Mullen said he expects both players to be ready for Saturday’s home game vs. Colorado St. However, starting sophomore CB Marco Wilson was lost to a season-ending ACL tear in the first quarter vs. UK. Wilson started all 11 games as a true freshman last year.

-- Washington All-American OT Trey Adams had surgery on his injured back last week. He is out indefinitely and will more than likely miss the entire season.

-- Fresno State sophomore OT Netane Muti, who started 13 of 14 games in '17 and was a preseason third-team All-MWC pick in Steele's mag, tore his Achilles in Saturday's loss at Minnesota and will miss the rest of the year.

-- Georgia Tech RB KirVonte Benson is 'questionable' at Pittsburgh after leaving Saturday's loss at USF with a leg injury. Benson rushed for 1,053 yards and six TDs with a 5.2 YPC average in '17. QB TaQuon Marshall also left the USF game injured, but he's 'probable' against the Panthers.

-- South Carolina's best defensive lineman, D.J. Wonnum, is expected to miss about four weeks with a ligament tear in his ankle. Wonnum didn't play vs. UGA. He had 56 tackles, seven TFL's, six sacks, five PBU and two QB hurries last year. DB Nick Harvey, a grad transfer from Texas A&M, was suspended for the loss to UGA and is 'questionable' vs. Marshall.

As for the weather, Hurricane Florence was upgraded to a Category 4 on Monday with the governors of South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia ordering mandatory evacuations for those along the coast starting Tuesday. Coastal Carolina has already moved its game vs. Campbell to Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

South Carolina is scheduled to host Marshall on Saturday, but classes at the school have already been cancelled indefinitely starting tomorrow. Clemson is slated to play Georgia Southern at home, while North Carolina is preparing for UCF in Chapel Hill. As for Duke, it is on the road at Baylor.

East Carolina is at Virginia Tech in Week 3, so that’s another game that could be impacted. Virginia is set to host Ohio. Whether these games get moved to a different day or postponed remains to be seen and if they’re played, weather could be an important factor.

BC scored 117 points in beating couple of stiffs to open season; they’ve goto 10 starters back on offense. Under Addazio, Eagles are 4-5 as road favorites. Deacons won first two games; they needed OT to win at Tulane- they’re -3 in turnovers this year. Under Clawson, Wake is 8-4-1 as a home underdog. Both teams have lot of experience on OL. This is last game of 3-game suspension for Wake QB Hinton. Unsure if weather will be a factor with tropical storm looming; kickoff was moved up two hours.

Florida State lost its opener 24-3 to Virginia Tech; they were trailing I-AA Samford at halftime LW, so the fanbase is restless. Seminoles gave up 485 PY LW, bad news vs Orange attack that hung 55 points, 560 yards on Western Michigan two weeks ago. FSU is 9-7-2 vs spread in last 18 games as road favorites- they beat Syracuse the last five years, but LY’s game was 27-24 in Tallahassee. Under Babers, Syracuse is 2-5 as home underdogs; they’ve got a senior QB- both teams have lot of experience on OL.

Iowa State went to Norman LY and upset Oklahoma 38-31 as 31-point underdog, but Sooners won last two visits to Ames, 34-24, 59-14- OU covered three of its last four visits here. Kyler Murray is averaging 11.7 yards/pass attempt- they scored 112 points in winning first two games, throwing for 640 yards. Cyclones had its opener rained out, then lost 13-3 (+4) at Iowa LW; Total yardage in that game was 271-188, Hawkeyes- not much offense there. Under Campbell, ISU is 5-3-1 as a home underdog.

Boise State scored 118 points in winning/covering first two games; Broncos threw ball for 723 yards. Over last decade, Boise is 5-2 as a road underdog, 2-0 in four years under Harsin- they had their worst season running ball in 20 years LY, but ran it for 400 yards LW. Oklahoma St isn’t UConn, though; last 4+ years, Cowboys are 10-10-1 as home favorites, though they’re 5-2 in last seven games laying single-digit spread. OSU has only five starters back on offense and a new QB. Since 2011, Big X teams are 7-1 vs spread when facing a Mountain West team.

Home side won last five LSU-Auburn games; LSU lost its last to visits to the Plains, 18-13/41-7.

Alabama scored 51-57 points in winning their first two games; I mean, their backup QB has a 26-2 record as starting QB- they’re loaded. Over last decade, Tide is 23-16 as road favorites. Ole Miss gave up 1,105 TY in winning its first two games, but they trailed I-AA Southern Illinois at halftime LW, 38-35. Over last decade, Rebels are 7-11 vs spread as home underdogs.

Since 2012, Purdue is 4-19 vs spread as home underdogs, 1-11 since 2015. Purdue (+7) went to Columbia LY and hammered Missouri 35-3; think Mizzou coaches circled this game on calendar?

USC (-15) threw for 397 yards in 27-24 home win over Texas LY, but their QB that day plays in the NFL now; USC’s QB is true freshman who skipped his senior year of HS, so he should still be playing HS ball. Trojans were -3 in turnovers LW in 17-3 at Stanford- since 2012, they’re 3-10 vs spread as road underdogs. Texas lost its opener at Maryland, then struggled past Tulsa 28-21 LW; under Herman, Longhorns are 1-5 vs spread as a home favorite. Since 2011, SEC teams are 8-3 vs spread when playing Pac-12 teams.

Ohio State scored 129 points in winning its first two games, running ball for 600 yards, throwing it for 700; last 4+ years, Buckeyes are 16-9 vs spread away from home, but this is first road start for this QB. TCU fell behind 9-0 vs local rival SMU LW, before punt return TD woke them up and spurred Horned Frogs to 42-12 win. Last 5+ years, TCU is 9-4 vs spread as an underdog- their OL this season is inexperienced. Last 3+ years, Big 14 teams are 7-3 vs spread when playing Big X opponents.

Washington beat Utah last two years, 31-24/33-30; Huskies lost their opener 21-16 to Auburn in SEC country (Atlanta), can’t afford another loss if they’re going to make NCAA playoff; they whacked a I-AA team LW. Under Petersen, Washington is 8-6 vs spread as road favorites. Utah ran ball for only 68 yards in 17-6 win at Northern Illinois LW; they outgained NIU 354-228. In their opener vs I-AA Weber State, Utah was -4 in turnovers, so their offense is work in progress. Since 2012, Utes are 6-3 vs spread as home underdogs.

UCLA is off to an 0-2 start under Kelly, losing to Cincy/Oklahoma- Bruin QB’s were sacked 11 times- their #1 QB is hurt, backup is a freshman. UCLA is 5-14 vs spread in its last 19 home games. Fresno State was outgained 307-299 in losing defensive struggle 21-14 at Minnesota LW. Under Tedford, Bulldogs are 5-0 vs spread as an underdog.

The Triple Option: College football Week 3 picks, predictions
Andrew Caley

It’s the first full week of back to school for the little guy in my household and that means a lot of lessons to be learned and re-learned. And not just for him, but for his mom and I as well.

Whether that means getting his own cereal in the morning, dreading that he has to do homework before turning on the PS4 in the afternoon, or the fact he's back on a strict deadline. It all amounts to a lot of change. Some things are bigger battles than others (thank you very much Nanny and Grampy for getting him a tablet...). But you have to learn your lessons and pick your battles. And the same can be said about early-season college football betting.

We're coming off our first (and hopefully last) losing week of the season. But last week we got away from the keys to success early in a college football season. With so much change, we need to learn our lesson and stick to things we know.

That being said, the Tigers should learn a lesson from last year’s mistakes against the Tigers!

Ah, never change college football. The Auburn Tigers will have revenge on their minds when they host the Tigers of LSU this Saturday afternoon. Auburn was upset 27-23 by LSU as a 6.5-point road fave in Death Valley last season and, as usual, this matchup will once again go a long way to determining the SEC West champions.

Both Tigers have gotten off to similar starts, winning a game versus a ranked opponent on a neutral site in their opener, before beating up on a cupcake last week (but both failed to cover). Also, as per usual, they both tout elite defenses and boast talented runners. But the similarities stop at the game’s most important position as the Tigers (Auburn) have a decided edge.

Auburn junior quarterback Jarrett Stidham has the talent and experience to lead the Tigers far this season and that showed up in their win over Washington, completing 72.2 percent of his passes for 273 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions against a Huskies defense that's no joke.

Things haven’t gone as well for Ohio State transfer, Joe Burrow. The junior signal caller is hitting on just 47.7 percent of his throws, but that isn’t even Burrow’s biggest problem. That would be his offensive line. The LSU o-line has problems keeping Burrow upright, allowing constant pressure resulting in four sacks this season.

Auburn will eventually wear down LSU in the trenches and extend the lead late. War Eagle is also eager to prove its worth as CFP contender after beating both teams that played for the national championship last season.

Pick: Auburn -9.5

Boise State Broncos at Oklahoma State Cowboys (-3, 64.5)

One lesson I learned from betting the early workings of the college football schedule is wager on what you know. Take the known commodity over the unknown.

The known commodity in this case is the Boise State Broncos. While the Broncos have been everyone’s favorite non-Power 5 team to root for when it comes to upsetting the BCS apple cart, they actually haven’t been to a New Year’s Six bowl game since 2014. But that could change this season and it all starts with their matchup against the Cowboys.

This Broncos team has a powerful and balanced offense led by quarterback Brett Rypien. The senior gunslinger has been outstanding to start the year, chucking the ball around for 667 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions, while completing 73.2 percent of his passes. Boise State also boasts a stout defense which should make life tough for a Cowboys team in transition.

Oklahoma State is off to a good start, but it has yet to face a team like the Broncos. And with former stars Mason Rudolph and James Washington moving on to the NFL, there's lots of inexperience at the quarterback and skills positions. And while the defense has strong numbers (against Missouri State and Southern Alabama) this is still a unit that ranked 120th in passing yards allowed last season.

Ultimately, this game means more to Boise State’s season than it does to the Pokes and the Broncos' experience will pay off here as they try to march to another undefeated season.

Pick: Boise State +3

Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns at Mississippi State Bulldogs (-32.5, 64.5)

Another lesson I learned when I first started betting college football was that when it comes to big spreads, especially early in the season, look for teams that run the ball and do it often. No matter what the score. And that’s exactly what the Mississippi State Bulldogs do.

The Bulldogs went into Bill Snyder Family Stadium as slight 6.5-point favorites and in a game in which many pundits liked Kansas State to pull off the upset, and MSU rammed the ball down the Wildcats' throats.

Nick Fitzgerald looked a little rusty throwing the football in his season debut, but boy did he ever make up for it on the ground. Fitzgerald rumbled for 159 yards on 19 carries while running back Kylin Hill went for 211 on just 17 carries and is carrying the rock at a clip of 10 yards per attempt this season.

The Bulldogs duo faces a Ragin’ Cajun defense that was one of the worst in the nation last season, especially against the rush, and allowed Grambling State to rack up 147 rushing yards in their opener last week.

Expect the Bulldogs to give Fitzgerald plenty of work before they open SEC play next week. Additionally, they’ve proven they can cover big numbers already when they cashed as 47.5-point favorites over Stephen F. Austin in their opener. They do it again Saturday.

Pick: Mississippi State -32.5

Last week: 1-2
Season to date: 3-3

College Essentials - Week 3
Tony Mejia

Week 2 had a few fun football games that came down to the wire but lacked anything that dramatically altered the national picture. Georgia trounced South Carolina to prove it belongs with the national elite despite losing four of the first 35 picks in this past NFL draft, while USC snuffed out young Stanford.

In the most interesting result, Texas A&M pushed Clemson to the brink of an upset, coming up a two-point conversion short of forcing a title contender into OT

College football is very much about survival on the road, but the Tigers were a 12.5-point favorite and are supposed to be sounder on defense than they looked. Surprises are coming. There hasn't been a blockbuster yet. Will we get one this week?

There are a number of worthy candidates on the list below that could be knocked off, shaking up the college football world. You may not believe there will be any outright upsets, but read the following and see if you at least think it's worth it to take the points in a few of these:

Saturday

Ohio State vs. TCU, 8 p.m. ET, ABC: Horned Frogs QB Shawn Robinson missed a ton of throws against SMU but did manage to create plays with his speed and elusiveness. KeVontae Turpin scored on a punt return and a touchdown catch against but needs to touch the ball more since he’s one of the Big 12’s most impressive athletes. With Robinson playing through expected growing pains, Gary Patterson will need Turpin to make life easier for his quarterback in Arlington this weekend since TCU doesn’t have the volume of playmakers that the Buckeyes bring to the table.

Urban Meyer remains suspended, serving the final game of a penalty the Buckeyes put in place after a lengthy review of a situation that could've ended far worse for him. Interim head coach Ryan Day faces his biggest challenge before handing the team back over. Having outscored his first two overmatched foes by a count of 129-34, it would be interesting to see what happens if some game pressure enters the equation for the first time since the first two games without Meyer were over by halftime. Dwayne Haskins will also be facing the fiercest defense he’s seen since taking over for J.T. Barrett, so we’ll see how he handles increased pressure. His ability to pass the ball accurately down the field has played a huge role in how explosive the Buckeyes have been and should be the x-factor here since TCU is likely to key on stopping the run.

LSU at Auburn, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS: After an impressive debut against Miami, LSU’s Tigers coasted past FCS middleweight Southeastern Louisiana, posting an easy shutout. Auburn destroyed lightweight Alabama State 63-9, so both traditional SEC West powers enter this one confidently. After having plenty of support at AT&T Stadium against the Hurricanes and playing in Baton Rouge last week, QB Joe Burrow will face his first road atmosphere and will likely have to be more than a game manager to produce an upset since they may be a double-digit underdog by kickoff. Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham could really enhance his growing reputation as a potential Top-10 pick against a defense fueled by first-round locks in LB Devin White and corner Greedy Williams.

Boise State at Oklahoma State, 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN: The Broncos are averaging 59 points per game through their first two wins and were up 41-0 at the break last week against UConn, allowing them to apply the brakes and cruise home. They outgained the Huskies 514-78 in the first half en route to a record-setting 818 yards of offense. Receiver John Hightower, a highly-regarded JUCO transfer who doubled as a track standout, scored on a 67-yard pass and on a 55-yard run, taking an end-around to the house. Top returning WR A.J. Richardson opened the second half by taking a screen pass 74 yards. UConn is a disaster and Troy looked overwhelmed so we’ll get a better indication of what to make of the Boise offense in Stillwater since the Oklahoma State defense looks formidable.

The Cowboys are transitioning from losing Mason Rudolph and top receiver James Washington to the Steelers and saw top receivers Tylan Wallace and Tryon Johnson help new QB Taylor Cornelius throw for 428 yards against South Alabama last week. Johnson, an LSU transfer, averaged 27.4 yards per catch, while Wallace hauled in 100 balls. Top RB Justice Hill scored twice despite getting only nine carries as Mike Gundy spread out the touches for his running backs but should be the x-factor here since the increased level of competition likely guarantees a heavier workload. Boise comes in healthy after its two blowouts with corner Avery Williams expected to play through an elbow injury.

USC at Texas, 8 p.m. ET, FOX: The Trojans showed some fight in that they never collectively hung their heads but their first road trip of the season produced the program’s first touchdown-less game since a 52-6 loss to Alabama in ’16. Stanford cruised 17-3 as freshman QB J.T. Daniels struggled and didn’t hook up with top target Amon-Ra St. Brown until the fourth. Tyler Vaughns caught seven balls from Daniels, who was picked off twice and completed 47 percent of his passes. The Cardinal whipped their Pac-12 rivals up front, surrendering 3.1 yards per carry while harassing Daniels all night. Meanwhile, Tom Herman is still talking up his group and reassuring a nervous fan base that couldn’t have been thrilled with a one-score game in the home opener against a Group of Five opponent. Although the Longhorns led 21-0 at the break, Tulsa moved the ball well and sabotaged itself with drops and missed field goals. QB Sam Ehlinger was efficient despite a costly fumble and accounted for three of the four touchdowns while true freshman Keaontay Ingram found the end zone and is showing why he was regarded the top prep running back in the Lone Star State last year. Ingram did suffer a knee injury that has been diagnosed as a bone bruise, likely making him unavailable for Saturday’s showdown with USC. Ehlinger doing his best work in the fourth quarter and Cal transfer Tre Watson helping close things out were positives for a Texas team that still appears to be overrated and fragile.

Oklahoma at Iowa State, 12 p.m. ET, ABC: In last week’s rout of UCLA, the Sooners got 306 passing yards from QB Kyler Murray, who also gained 69 on the ground and accounted for five touchdowns. Unfortunately, standout RB Rodney Anderson left with a knee injury that will end his season, so TJ Pledger got some work in alongside Trey Sermon to identify the primary back going forward. The Sooners should still be formidable and remain the Big 12 favorite, but the conference opener against Iowa State got more complicated since the Cyclones bring the best defense OU has seen to date to the table for its first road test. After getting shut down by Iowa, ISU has to be concerned that it doesn’t have enough offense to hang with a high-octane Oklahoma attack, so it will need top RB David Montgomery to fare much better this week to help control possession.

Vanderbilt at Notre Dame, 2:30 p.m. ET, NBC: The Commodores went up and down the field against Nevada on Saturday but ended up scoreless in the first quarter due to a fumble and put another ball on the ground late in the half. They didn’t take control until the second half but QB Kyle Shurmur and leading returning receiver Kalija Lipscomb continued to show off great chemistry as the receiver set career-bests for catches (10) and TDs (2). Illinois transfer RB Ke’Shawn Vaughn racked up 93 yards and two scores on just 11 carries, strengthening his hold on the primary role ahead of returnees Khari Blasingame and Jamauri Wakefield but the ‘Dores are going to need them all to produce to pull off a road upset in South Bend. The Fighting Irish are 27-16 vs. SEC foes and have won both career matchups against Vandy.

Although Vanderbilt has had losing records in every one of Derek Mason's first four seasons, he's looking to start 3-0 for the second straight year and has a team that has played against plenty of quality teams in a number of difficult venues. Notre Dame Stadium shouldn't be too daunting. The 'Dores have struggled away from Nashville though, coming in 5-16 on the road under James Franklin's successor. Safety Zaire Jones will return from suspension to try and aid the Vandy cause, whlle the Irish must toil withouts suspended RB Dexter Williams, who won't return until October. In order to produce an upset, Vandy needs to continue its run of forcing timely turnovers.

Washington at Utah, 10 p.m. ET, ESPN: Wind gusts are expected to play a significant role here, which could bode well for the host Utes since they utilize a spread option run by Tyler Huntley that’s more reliant on the run than the Huskies are. That means Jake Browning-led Washington would be more impacted if the weather does limit how effective the passing game can be on Saturday. The Utes will have top running back Zack Moss in the mix despite an ankle tweak suffered in the fourth quarter of a 17-6 win over Northern Illinois. He got just 16 carries and will certainly get more so long as his wheel holds up since head coach Kyle Whittingham made it a point to say “he’s a weapon that we need to utilize a little bit more. That is on us coaches.”

The Huskies have their own brilliant back in Myles Gaskin, who has rushed for over 1,300 yards in each of his first three seasons and is now well over 4,000 career rushing yards. They’ve won 10 of 11 meetings against Utah, losing only in 2015 in Seattle, although the last two games have both been one-possession affairs. The Utes blew last year’s game with bad decisions down the stretch, surrendering 10 points in the final two-plus minutes in losing 33-30 on a last-second field goal. They’re the healthier team here since Washington lost left tackle Trey Adams to a back injury just before the season started and haven’t officially divulged whether center Nick Harris will return from an injury-related absence. Linebacker DJ Beavers (foot) is also banged up. Utah leads the country in total defense (143.5 ypg), pass defense (62.0 ypg) and yards per played allowed (2.22) while ranking second in pass efficiency defense (57.12)

Alabama at Ole Miss, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN: The Rebels have a better receiving corps that the Louisville team Alabama saw in Orlando and have 61.5 points per game, though the defense has contributed to a few of those scores. Most of the damage has been done by QB Jordan Ta’amu taking advantage of overwhelmed defensive backs via AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and DaMarkus Lodge, one of the top receiving trios in the country. Scouts are drooling at the prospect of watching them duel with the likes of Savion Smith, Trevon Diggs and special-looking freshman Patrick Surtain, Jr. and should get plenty of opportunities since the Rebs aren’t likely to be able to run the ball effectively and will likely be behind.

Although we may see Jalen Hurts, there’s no longer a QB controversy in Tusclaoosa. Tua Tagovailoa has been tremendous thus far, throwing six touchdowns and averaging 22.2 yards per completion and will presumably get most if not all or the stops with Nick Saban calling this matchup the biggest challenge the Tide has faced thus far. Last year’s game featured current Michigan QB Shea Patterson working with a very young offense that couldn’t execute in a 66-3 loss that produced the most points scored in the Saban era and the largest margin of victory for the Tide since 1979. Ole Miss had won two of three meetings prior to last season, so it was no surprise that ‘Bama took no prisoners in Tuscaloosa. It out-gained Ole Miss 613-253. The Crimson Tide come in relatively healthy, while Ole Miss will get guys like LB Kevontae' Ruggs and WR Lodge back. Unfortunately, safely Jaylon Jones is out and will definitely be missed. There's been talk of rain in the forecast, but the latest look calls for storms to stay away and stifling heat ot prevail.

Arizona State at San Diego State, 10:30 p.m. ET, CBSC: The Aztecs fell in the season opener against Stanford and then actually trailed Sacramento State last weekend before turning things around in the fourth. They had scored just 24 points through the first seven quarters and now lose senior QB Christian Chapman for 3-to-6 weeks after he sprained an MCL in the second quarter on Saturday. His run of 31 consecutive starts will end as junior backup Ryan Agnew takes over despite throwing a pair of interceptions in Chapman’s place last week. Agnew has yet to throw his first touchdown pass but is a known commodity to Arizona State defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales since he served in the same capacity at SDSU last season and was the safeties coach under Rocky Long since he took over in 2011.

Gonzales’ expertise with the Aztecs’ complicated 3-3-5 should help Arizona State’s offensive preparation but it will be interesting to see how Rocky Long’s team deals with their own defense considering they know what can be exploited most consistently. This will be a chess match that would certainly favor San Diego State at home if it wasn’t for it starting a backup quarterback. RB Juwan Washington was forced to carry 36 times just to survive the upset bid last week and will again be the primary weapon in his third game as a starter following in the footsteps of SDSU legends Donnell Pumphrey and Rashaad Penny. He’ll be facing a stingy ASU defense that will have everyone in the mix but safety Dasmond Tautalatasi, whose interception in the end zone before injuring his elbow provided a huge lift in the upset of Michigan State. Evan Fields (hamstring) returns this week and will team with redshirt senior Jalen Harvey at the Tillman safety spot named after late Sun Devils star Pat. Star receiver N’Keal Harry will be a huge problem for San Diego State’s secondary and could cause problems the way Stanford’s JJ Arcega-Whiteside managed to in the season opener. Arizona State has won just two of 10 road openers and will need senior starter Manny Wilkins to hook up with Harry to consistently move the ball.

Houston at Texas Tech, 4:15 p.m. ET, FOX: The Cougars don’t play AAC favorite UCF unless they square off in the conference championship, so this looks to be the biggest game they can count on playing since last week’s win over Arizona no longer looks as impressive as they probably thought it would before the season began. Defeating the Red Raiders may also lack shine since they’ve already dropped a game to Ole Miss and don’t figure to compete for a Big 12 title, but this will be the final Power 5 Houston can prey upon until a bowl game. Texas Tech may be down to its backup quarterback, true freshman Alan Bowman, if junior McLane Carter, the team’s most experienced option, can’t shake a high ankle sprain. Next week’s conference opener at Oklahoma State is certainly more important and West Virginia comes into Lubbock to end September, so Kliff Kingsbury could err on the side of cushion and ride with Bowman, who has thrown for 555 yards and two scores without being intercepted but has done the bulk of that work against Lamar.

Whoever starts for the Red Raiders will be dealing with All-American DT Ed Oliver and a defense that has clamped down enough to give up three or fewer points in half of their quarters this season. Texas Tech has won seven of eight in the series but will have to slow down a Houston offense that has scored 45 points in each of their wins with QB D’Eriq King accounting for 10 touchdowns. Tech may also be down its top two options at running back since senior Tre King and sophomore Da’Leon Ward have been limited and will be game-time decisions. The Red Raiders posted their first shutout in a dozen years in a 77-0 rout of Lamar, forcing four turnovers. The offense had three touchdowns called back due to penalties and the team was flagged 14 times despite being overwhelmingly dominant, so they’ve exhibited traits of a young football team learning on the job. Lightning fast freshmen Tazhawn Henry and KeSean Johnson have Houston ties and may factor in heavily against their hometown school. This should be a fun one.

Others to watch: Florida State at Syracuse, Duke at Baylor, BYU at Wisconsin, Missouri at Purdue, Miami, FL at Toledo, Fresno State at UCLA, Middle Tennessee at Georgia, Georgia Tech at Pitt

Week 3's college football odds and analysis

Week 3 of the college football season is here and with some huge matchups on the board we're delivering need-to-know notes for cracking the NCAAF odds. Will Texas Tech have their starting quarterback for the big battle against Houston? Stanford will be without Bryce Love and are we primed for a fast start when Boise State visit Oklahoma State? All that and more in this week's best college football odds and analysis.

BIG MOVES

Hurricane Florence has made a mess of the Southeastern Seaboard – but a handful of teams have made arrangements that will allow some of this week's games to be played with minimal disruption. One of the most notable moves comes courtesy the Virginia Cavaliers, who have relocated Saturday's showdown against the Ohio Bobcats to Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from subpar efforts, with the Cavaliers having dropped a 20-16 decision to Indiana last week and Ohio squeaking past Howard 38-32 despite going in as a 30.5-point favorite.

The line hasn't budged much, with Virginia going in as a 5.5-point fave. But with oddsmakers initially expecting inclement weather to play a role, the move to Vanderbilt has sent the number soaring from a low of 40.5 in some spots to 54 as of Saturday morning. Ohio is 3-9-1 O/U in its last 13 neutral site games, while Virginia is 4-0 O/U in its previous four played in a neutral location.

LAST-MINUTE DECISION

The Texas Tech Red Raiders still haven't named a starting quarterback for Saturday's marquee matchup with visiting Houston – but bettors are banking on McClane Carter sitting out the game. Carter is nursing an ankle injury suffered in the Red Raiders' season opener, and all Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury has said is that he's "hopeful" his No. 1 QB will return this weekend. True freshman Alan Bowman will get the start if Carter can't go; he was nearly flawless against Lamar, going 22-for-25 for 282 yards and two scores as the sixth true frosh to start at QB in Red Raiders history.

This line opened at Texas Tech -3, but the Red Raiders are now as low as +2 against a Houston offense that has produced 90 points through the first two games. The Cougars haven't allowed more than 27 points in six straight games, and the absence of Carter would undoubtedly make it even more difficult for Texas Tech to reach its team total of 34.5.

NOT HALF BAD

Two of the top first-half teams in the nation square off this weekend at Boone Pickens Stadium as Oklahoma State hosts Boise State in a battle of nationally ranked teams. The Broncos rank second in the nation in first-half points per game vs. FBS foes, having averaged 38 through their first two contests. But they'll meet their match in the Cowboys, who produced 31 first-half points in each of their first two games of the season, both one-sided victories. Oklahoma State is no stranger to fast starts, having averaged 24.8 first-half points in 2017. Meanwhile, this is foreign territory for Boise State, which averaged just 17.1 first-half points last season.

You probably know where this is going: The first-half total for this one is 34 (O -115/U -105), and with both teams expected to push the tempo from the outset, there's a decent chance they'll blow past that number by the break.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

On the other side of the coin, there are few teams who have been stronger in the second half than the Illinois Illini, who face a major challenge Saturday against South Florida at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Illini have overcome slow starts in each of their first two games, scoring 48 of their 65 points after the break; that could bode well for the hosts against a Bulls team that has surrendered 35 of its 52 points against in the second half. Both teams have opened the season 2-0, though South Florida comes in as a solid favorite after putting up an impressive 83 points through its first two games.

Bettors aren't exactly enthralled with the Illini's second-half exploits; they opened as high as +8 in some spots but are now up to +11.5. USF is favored by seven in the first half (-110) – and given Illinois' early struggles, it might be a solid play.

LOVE LOST

The Stanford Cardinal will be without fledgling Heisman Trophy candidate Bryce Love for this weekend's encounter with visiting UC-Davis. Love, who rumbled for 136 yards and a score in last week's decisive win over USC, was removed from the game in the fourth quarter and taken to hospital with an undisclosed ailment. Head coach David Shaw downplayed the significance of the injury after the game, but Stanford appears to be playing it cautious with their all-world running back in a game the Cardinal are expected to win comfortably.

That said, keep an eye on Stanford's team total for this one; Love was responsible for 19 of its 54 offensive touchdowns last season, and his absence suppresses the Cardinal's scoring potential. Love might also fall right out of the Heisman race; he came into the week at +1,000.

CARDINALS QB CONTROVERSY?

A turf toe injury suffered by redshirt freshman Jawon Pass has created the potential for a quarterback controversy in Louisville. Cardinals head coach Bobby Petrino says he's in wait-and-see mode with Pass and backup Malik Cunningham, who came on in relief of an injured Pass to kick off the second half last week and led Louisville to a comfortable 31-7 win over Indiana State. Petrino suggested that the freshman's health would be something to monitor throughout the week; Pass got through Tuesday's practice without issue.

Expect Pass to be on a short leash if he does get the start for Saturday's encounter with visiting Western Kentucky. The Cardinals are desperate to generate more offense, having started the year 0-2 ATS; they're -22.5 against the Hilltoppers, with the total sitting at 56.5 at most books.

MARTINEZ A GAME-TIME DECISION

Nebraska head coach Scott Frost isn't ready to decide on this week's starting quarterback – and says he might even wait until "two minutes to kickoff," according to a report in the Lincoln Journal Star. Adrian Martinez is working through a knee injury suffered in last week's 33-28 loss to visiting Colorado and has been limited to participating in Thursday's walkthrough. Given that the Huskers are 10.5-point favorites against visiting Troy, Frost might elect giving Martinez an extra week of rest and starting sophomore walk-on Andrew Bunch, who went 4-for-9 for 49 yards in relief of Martinez in the loss to the Buffaloes.

Nebraska carries a 34.5-point team total into Saturday's encounter with Troy, though that might move if word of Martinez's status becomes available. As it stands, the under becomes an intriguing option with the potential downgrade to Bunch.

ANOTHER GAME MOVED

Georgia has decided to move up the start time of its Saturday showdown with visiting Middle Tennessee State to noon in order to avoid any potential disruptions from Hurricane Florence. The game was originally slated to start at 7:15 p.m. ET. This marks the 11th game affected by the incoming storm, which is expected to make landfall Friday. The Bulldogs will be looking to carry over the momentum from last week's emphatic 41-7 trouncing of South Carolina, with Georgia easily covering as an 8.5-point favorite. MTSU is also coming off a major cover, trouncing Tennessee-Martin 61-37 as a five-point underdog.

Little has changed with regard to the line and total; Georgia comes in at -32, with the total steady at 54.5. It is worth noting, however, that the Bulldogs are just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games as a home fave of 30 or more points.

SINDELAR'S STATUS UNKNOWN

Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar doesn't know if he'll be on the field for Saturday's tilt with visiting Missouri. Sindelar suffered an undisclosed during practice on Wednesday and did not participate on Thursday; head coach Jeff Brohm suggested that the junior QB will be a game-time decision. It has been a rough start to the season for Sindelar, who has thrown for a paltry 283 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions; he was picked off just seven times all of last season. David Blough will get the call if Sindelar can't go. Blough has completed 18-of-26 passes for 122 yards in relief so far in 2018.

Perhaps bettors are keen on Purdue switching starting quarterbacks – the Boilermakers opened at +7.5 but have been bet down as low as +5.5 at select books. The total has jumped from a 62 opener up to 65.5.

DEFENSE = OFFENSE AT UTAH STATE

The Utah State Aggies aren't one to limit themselves to offensive touchdowns as they prepare to host FCS Tennessee Tech on Thursday night. Utah State has put up a whopping 91 points through its first two games, highlighted by a 60-13 drubbing of New Mexico State last week; the Aggies had a kickoff-return touchdown and an interception return for a score in the victory, giving them three non-offensive TDs through the first two games of the season. That's nothing new for Utah State, which scored seven non-offensive TDs in 2017 (three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one kickoff, one blocked punt return.)

There is no line or total for the Aggies' Thursday encounter with Tennessee Tech, but bettors should strongly consider a wager on the home side to score a special teams or defensive touchdown; the Golden Eagles allowed an interception return TD in their season-opening loss to Chattanooga.

KEMPT TO RETURN SATURDAY

The Iowa State Cyclones appear to have dodged a major injury to their starting quarterback. Kyle Kempt suffered a knee injury late in last week's loss to Iowa, but wide receivers coach Bryan Gasser says the redshirt freshman is "moving and trending in the right direction." It isn't yet clear if Kempt will be healthy enough to hit the field for this weekend's daunting tilt with the visiting Oklahoma Sooners; if he sits out, Zeb Noland would likely take over the starting role. Kempt was efficient last week, going 15-for-21 for 126 yards in the 13-3 defeat.

The Cyclones' chances of going over their team total of 17.5 (-110) take a major hit if Kempt is ruled out; Noland has completed just 40 of his 76 collegiate pass attempts, while the Sooners – who enter Thursday favored by 17.5 points – have held opposing QBs to a 58.6-percent success rate through their first two games this season.

OREGON STATE'S PIERCE SIDELINED

The Oregon State Beavers will be without one of their top offensive threats for what should be a barn-burner Saturday at Nevada. Junior running back Artavis Pierce is expected to miss the next four weeks after suffering an elbow injury in last weekend's victory over Southern Utah. It's a significant blow for the Beavers, as Pierce racked up 259 rushing yards and three touchdowns while adding four catches for 47 yards in his first two games. Jermar Jefferson will likely get the call as the feature back for the next month, with B.J. Taylor backing him up.

Oregon State opened at +5.5, but that line is now down to +3.5. The total is down only slightly from a 71.5-point opening but remains stout at 70; the Beavers have seen an average of 90.5 total points scored in their first two games.

AZTECS DOWN A QB

It'll be next man up for San Diego State this weekend after starting quarterback Christian Chapman suffered a sprained left MCL that will knock him out of the lineup for the next three-to-six weeks. Chapman suffered the injury in Saturday's 28-14 win over Sacramento State; he had gone 6-of-11 for 112 yards up to that point. While the Aztecs are a run-first team, Chapman still represents a major loss after throwing for 33 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions in his previous two seasons. Ryan Agnew will slot into the starting QB role this weekend against visiting Arizona State while Chapman recovers.

As the news of Chapman's injury was released just prior to the line being set, it has moved only slightly from an Aztecs +5 opener down to +4.5. San Diego State is +175 on the money line, with the total holding steady at 45.5.
