Top 25 Notes

-- The best game of the day took place in Eugene, as Stanford and Oregon played a classic. The Ducks built a 24-7 lead at halftime, but the second half was all Cardinal. Oregon had the ball in the red zone late in the third quarter, trying to make it 31-7. Instead, Joey Alfieri scooped up a fumble and returned it 80 yards for a momentum-changing TD, slicing Oregon's lead to 24-14. Another quick TD near the end of the third made it 24-21. Ducks' moneyline bettors knew it was coming, as the Cardinals posted a field goal at :00 in regulation to force OT. That was also good for a bad beat on the total (see below). The Cardinal finished off the overtime with a TD, winning 38-31 for a miracle cover, too.

-- Ohio State got Urban Meyer back on the sidelines after his three-game suspension, and it was like he never left. They whipped up on Tulane, 49-6. The Buckeyes moved to 3-1 ATS, including 3-0 ATS at the Horseshoe. The most notable part of this game might have been a bad beat involving the total. Again, see below.

-- Virginia Tech rolled into the Hampton Roads looking to squash winless Old Dominion, a side which entered 0-3 SU/ATS. The Hokies tied the game late, making it 35-35, but the Monarchs picked up a pair of touchdowns late to spring the huge upset, the first win over a Power 5 team in school history.

-- West Virginia had two weeks off to prepare for Kansas State after having last week's road trip to N.C. State canceled due to Hurricane Florence. They looked rested, as they humbled K-State by a 35-6 score in Morgantown. The Mountaineers improved to 3-0 SU/ATS.

Big Five Conference Report (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC)

-- North Carolina surprised Pittsburgh 38-35 in Chapel Hill, as the two-week break from Hurricane Florence did them some good. The Panthers slipped to 2-2 SU/1-3 ATS. ... Virginia posted an impressive 27-3 win at home against Louisville, improving to 3-1 SU/4-0 ATS. ... N.C. State took care of Marshall by a 37-20 count, covering a six-point number on the road. The Wolfpack are now 3-0 SU/2-1 ATS, and they were another team looking well prepared after a week off thanks to the hurricane.

-- Michigan roughed up Nebraska 56-10 in the Big House, dropping the Cornhuskers to 0-3 for the first time since 1945. The honeymoon might be over for Scott Frost at his alma mater. As far as the Wolverines are concerned, they're now 3-0/2-1 ATS in their three games since being dropped by Notre Dame in their opener. ... Meanwhile, Michigan State cooled off Indiana at 'The Rock' by a 35-21 score, covering for the first time in three games this season. ... For anyone expecting Rutgers to be better this season...nah. Tgey were roughed up by Buffalo 42-13, falling to 0-3 SU/ATS over the past three.

-- Iowa State handed Akron its first loss of the season, 26-13. However, the Zips were able to cover a 19 1/2-point number, moving to 2-0 ATS in their two games against FBS schools. The Cyclones slipped to 1-2 ATS in their three games to date. ... TCU dropped their second straight outing, falling to Texas for the first time in four years. The 'Horns have won three in a row, and covered each of their past two, both at home. ... It was exactly 11 years to the day since Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy's "I'm a man...I'm 40" rant, and the opponent that day was Texas Tech. The two sides played again, and the Red Raiders were able to come away with a much-needed 41-17 win in Stillwater, winning and covering for the third straight after getting whipped in their opener.

-- Washington held off a spirited charge from Arizona State, winning 27-20. The Sun Devils easily covered the 18-point number, moving to 9-0 ATS in their past nine trips to Seattle and 16-2-2 ATS in the past 20 meetings in this series overall. ... On Friday night it was USC earning a feel-good win at home against Washington State, 39-36, although the Cougars were able to hang on for the cover. While the Trojans squared their record at 2-2 SU, they slipped to 0-4 ATS.

-- Tennessee was horrific in their rivalry game against Florida, falling in front of the restless natives at Neyland Stadium by a 47-21 count as the Gators were able to take care of the 'over' (46.5) themselves. ... Auburn showed why they were favorites by 29 1/2 over Arkansas, as the Razorbacks really are that bad. The Hogs have dropped three in a row, slipping to 1-3 SU/0-3-1 ATS. The 'under' has also cashed in three in a row for Arkansas. ... Kentucky picked up a 28-7 win against No. 14 Mississippi State, improving to 4-0 SU/2-2 ATS. The Wildcats have scored 27 or more points in all four games this season. Might Kentucky football be headed for a ranking for the first time since 2007?

Mid-Major Report

-- UCF beat down visiting Florida Atlantic on Friday by a 56-36 score, easily covering by pulling away in the second half. The Owls slipped to 2-2 SU and 0-4 ATS so far. ... Connecticut was tripped up 51-21 in Syracuse, dropping the Huskies to 1-3 SU/0-3-1 ATS. The 'under' result against the Orange was the first of the season for UConn after three straight overs. ... East Carolina picked up its second consecutive cover, playing South Florida tough in a 20-13 loss in Tampa.

-- Louisiana Tech gave LSU all they could handle, slicing the lead of the Tigers to 24-21 in the fourth quarter before the home team pulled away to win by 17. The Bulldogs have now hit the 'over' in each of their three games this season. ... Western Kentucky surprised Ball State by a 28-20 score for their first win of the season. They improved to 3-1 ATS, however, with the 'under' also 3-1 through four outings. ... Florida International slipped to 2-2 SU with a loss at Miami-Florida, but the Golden Panthers improved to 4-0 ATS.

-- Eastern Michigan played their hearts out, but they fell at San Diego State in overtime by a 23-20 count. The Eagles improved to 3-1 ATS, however. ... For Ball State, while they lost, they have been helpful at the betting window to total bettors. The 'under' is now 4-0. ...

The Aztecs squeaked out the win over EMU in overtime, but they slipped to 1-3 ATS overall on the season. The 'under' is also 3-1 for San Diego State so far.

-- Appalachian State has posted a perfect 3-0 ATS mark so far through three outings. ... South Alabama took it on the chin to slip to 1-3 SU/2-1-1 ATS. The Jaguars have been a favorite for total bettors, however, as the 'over' is now a perfect 4-0 for USA. ... Troy hung on for a 35-27 victory at Louisiana-Monroe, earning the road cover. The Trojans led 35-7 at halftime, but gave side bettors a little heart failure by getting outscored 20-0 in the second half.

Bad Beats

-- The Buckeyes were winning 43-7 in the fourth quarter, failing to cover a 36 1/2-point number. They turned it over on downs deep in Green Wave territory midway through the final quarter, and it appeared favorite bettors were going to lose. However it was Tulane bettors taking it in the shorts, as the Buckeyes scored with 1:01 remaining to flip the line in favor of the favorites.

-- Oregon side bettors and moneyline bettors were feeling good about themselves for a good chunk of regulation. Stanford stormed back and forced OT, booting a field goal with :00 left in regulation. That changed the total from a push (59) to an over. Then the Cardinal scored a TD in the extra session for the miracle cover.

-- Cincinnati fell behind 21-0 against Ohio, and moneyline bettors for the Bobcats were feeling good. However, the Bearcats took their first lead with 3:24 to go in regulation to dash the dreams of ML bettors for OU.

-- Miami (Ohio)-Bowling Green had a total of (54.5), and the Falcons scored a TD with 5:34 to go to cut the Redhawks' lead to 31-10. 'Under' bettors appeared to be in good shape still, but BSU scored again with 4:13 to go, then Miami scored with :34 left to push it over. With no time left in regulation, the Falcons added a TD for good measure, scoring 27 points total in the final 5:34.

4th Quarter Covers - Week 4
Joe Nelson

Glancing at the scoreboard won’t tell you the whole story in most games. Here are some of the games that went down to the wire relative to the spread in the fourth quarter last week in the fourth big college football weekend. Each week there are several teams that cover despite not necessarily deserving it, as well as other teams that played much better than the final score shows.

Penn State (-27) 63, Illinois 24: Illinois led 24-21 in the second half looking safe as a nearly four-touchdown home underdog Friday night. The Lions wound score 42 unanswered points including two touchdowns to earn the favorite cover in the final five minutes of the game for an improbable cover and another misleading final score in a Penn State game this season. Penn State has now scored 91 points after the start of the fourth quarter in four games this season.

Western Kentucky (+3) 28, Ball State 20: For a second straight season, Ball State had a cruel finish in this matchup as they lost a lead in the final two minutes last season and led 20-14 with five minutes to go on Saturday. Western Kentucky put together two touchdown drives in-between a Cardinals punt to win by eight as a slight underdog on the road, led by Steven Duncan who replaced Davis Shanley at quarterback.

Syracuse (-30) 51, Connecticut 21: This spread opened at -27½ and climbed all the was to -31 before settling back at -30. The favorite cover didn’t look likely with a 31-14 halftime edge but Syracuse got a punt return touchdown in the third quarter and approached the spread with a 41-14 advantage through three quarters. Connecticut struck for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to close to within 20, but Syracuse answered quickly and then added a field goal following a fumble to lead by exactly 30. The Huskies looked like a great threat to get back within the number reaching the Syracuse 16-yard-line, but an interception near the end zone ended a late threat and a push was the closing line result.

Miami, FL (-25½) 31, Florida International 17: The Hurricanes dominated this game and led 24-0 at halftime with FIU held to only 25 yards. The Hurricanes got past the spread with a 31-0 lead in the third quarter but an interception from N’Kosi Perry halted the momentum, with Perry inserted into the game early relieving Malik Rosier. The Hurricanes got the ball back quickly and reached the red zone early in the fourth quarter, but Perry took a sack with Miami going for it on 4th-and-goal. Perhaps offended by that decision the Panthers had a spark, going 85 yards for their first score of the game with a touchdown near the seven-minute mark that was enough to shift the spread result. FIU snagged a fumble a few plays later to add a field goal and then posted another touchdown after an on-side kick recovery for a very misleading 14-point final margin.

Florida State (-10) 37, Northern Illinois 19: The spread on this game jumped around significantly hitting -12 on Friday before dipping as low as -9½ briefly, settling at -10. That was the exact margin heading into the fourth quarter after Seminoles connected on a 78-yard pass play. The Huskies didn’t take long to answer but for the second straight time failed on a two-point conversion, trailing by 11. Those that had the Huskies weren’t necessarily deserving of a win as NIU was +4 in turnovers and soundly out-gained but the Huskies took a late sack going for it on 4th-and-long from their own 35. With 12 seconds remaining Florida State rushed in for a touchdown to pad the final margin and make it a clear Seminoles win and cover.

Ohio State (-38) 49, Tulane 6: The Buckeyes led 42-6 at the half, well on their way but not quite past the massive home favorite spread in Urban Meyer’s return. A scoreless third quarter featured five consecutive punts before Ohio State failed going for it on a 4th-and-2 play but Tulane likewise failed going for it on its own fourth down in Ohio State territory a few minutes later. With just over a minute on the clock, Ohio State broke the scoring drought with a favorite cover saving touchdown for a 43-point win.

Toledo (-11½) 63, Nevada 44: Scoring on a blocked punt return and a kickoff return, Toledo led most of the way but Nevada didn’t go away, cutting the margin to four points in the third quarter. Toledo scored late in the third to lead by 11 and then extended that lead to 56-38 early in the fourth. Nevada would answer but failed going for two to leave the margin at 12 for a big distinction but it didn’t matter as Mitchell Guadagni broke a 34-yard touchdown scamper a few plays later for a 19-point edge. Nevada was intercepted and then stopped on downs near midfield in two late possessions to fall short of the spread.

SMU (+6) 31, Navy 30: SMU led 23-14 early in the fourth quarter taking advantage of a short field after a fumble. The extra-point was blocked and was returned the other way however as Navy was back within seven. Navy tied the game with about six minutes remaining and overtime was needed. Navy went first and did what it needed to do over nine plays to get seven points, sitting past the road favorite spread momentarily. SMU took seven plays to answer including a fourth down conversion. Sonny Dykes rolled the dice and went for two and it worked for the upset, with those on the home underdog cheering the decision to avoid a second overtime session.

Georgia (-14) 43, Missouri 29: The Bulldogs scored on a fumble return and a blocked punt return in the first half and didn’t have an offensive touchdown until the third quarter, leading 27-7. Missouri was productive in this game and was within 11 by the start of the fourth quarter. Both teams scored touchdowns early in the fourth before Missouri missed a field goal. Missouri failed on downs in its own territory with about five minutes remaining and the next attempt for a field goal was good for Georgia for a 14-point final margin, even with the common spread though the highly ranked Bulldogs were priced at -14½ at times.

Stanford (-3½) 38, Oregon 31: Oregon was in complete control with a 24-7 halftime edge and briefly appeared to go up 30-7 late in the third quarter before a controversial replay overturn. Oregon still had 1st-and-goal at the 1, but fumbled and lost nine yards and two plays later a high snap was returned 80 yards for a Stanford touchdown. The Cardinal cut the margin to three just ahead of the end of the quarter and had the ball down to the Oregon 30-yard-line early in the fourth quarter, failing going for it on 4th-and-1. Oregon delivered on a 4th-and-1 of its own with about five minutes remaining and got a touchdown on the next play to lead by 10. Stanford answered with a three-play touchdown drive and Oregon looked capable of running out most of the clock with a new set of downs and 1:35 remaining with Stanford down to one timeout. Instead the Ducks fumbled reaching for a game-sealing 1st down on a second down run in the final minute and Stanford managed to get a tying field goal as time expired. In overtime, the Cardinal got a deflected pass touchdown while Oregon wound up intercepted on 4th-and-goal for a stunning turn of events with Stanford getting the road favorite cover despite not leading at any point in regulation.

Auburn (-29½) 34, Arkansas 3: This wasn’t quite the SEC blowout that the final score and narrow cover for Auburn might suggest as Auburn finished with just 225 total yards in the game, but was consistently in great field position thanks to turnovers and special teams success. Auburn led by 24-3 heading into the fourth quarter despite only 161 yards of offense. The Tigers added 10 points in the final nine minutes of the game including a late field goal that narrowly earned the favorite cover.

Troy (-4) 35, UL-Monroe 27: The Trojans had a 35-7 halftime edge but things got tight late as the Warhawks scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to climb within eight. After punting on its first four second half possessions, Troy managed to get in field goal range but missed as UL-Monroe had the ball back with just over two minutes remaining. The Warhawks reached the 11-yard line with a new set of downs and still nearly a minute remaining but an interception ended the comeback bid.

North Texas (-11½) 47, Liberty 7: This game featured a rather misleading final score as Liberty had a new set of downs near midfield down 21-7 well into the third quarter before a lengthy lightning delay. It was a different game after the break as Liberty missed a field goal on that promising drive and then saw North Texas add four late touchdowns to win by 40 despite relatively close production numbers.

Alabama (-23½) 45, Texas A&M 23: Alabama was tested a bit in this game but still led by 29 heading into the fourth quarter. Halfway through the final frame the Aggies spoiled the favorite cover with an 88-yard touchdown drive that would conclude the scoring in the game.

Wisconsin (-3) 28, Iowa 17: Iowa had control of this game most of the way but caught a tough break with the foot of a blocking Iowa player contacting the ball on a punt leading to a short Wisconsin touchdown. The Hawkeyes answered to lead by three through a series of punts before Wisconsin completed an 88-yard drive to take the lead inside the final minute, slipping just past the spread 21-17. Iowa was intercepted on a deflected pass on its last effort and with 22 seconds remaining the Badgers broke a run for another score to make for a misleading final result, pushing the low total just ‘over’ in the process as well.

New Mexico State (-5½) 27, UTEP 20: The winless Aggies got two big breaks with a blocked punt return and a fumble return touchdown yet still led by just four late in the fourth quarter. With just over three minutes remaining a 22-yard field goal sealed the narrow road favorite cover in this ugly battle out west.

Utah State (-9½) 42, Air Force 32: The Aggies took control in the middle of this game with four consecutive touchdowns surrounding halftime, leading 35-14 before Air Force came up with a late third quarter field goal. The Falcons made it a game with a pair of touchdowns in 13 seconds of game clock, the second of which came on a fumble return. Up three Utah State got a late 70 yard run from Gerold Bright to put the margin at 10, right near the number which reached -11 but dropped in the hours before kickoff of this late night Mountain West game. The Falcons were in position to make the pricing a moot point reaching the Utah State 16-yard-line late in the game before failing on downs.

UNC is 5-2-1 in its last eight games as road underdogs, but 4-6 in last ten games when getting double digit points. Miami covered once in its last six games as home favorites; they’re 11-8 in last 19 games laying 10+ points.

Friday
Memphis won its last five games with Tulane, winning 24-14/38-7 in last two visits here; Tigers scored 111 points in winning their last two games, but lost 22-21 (-7) at Navy in their only road game this month.

Under Fritz, Green Wave is 4-2 as home underdogs- they’re 9-13 in last 22 games when getting 10+ points.

UCLA is already 0-3, the QB’s father is ripping the coach; Fresno State outgained them 420-270 in the Rose Bowl last game. Bruins won four of last five games with Colorado, splitting last two visits to Boulder- Buffs won last meeting here 20-10 (-13). Since 2013, UCLA is 8-5 as a road underdog; they allowed 87 points in their last two games. Colorado gave up 329 yards in a 33-28 win at Nebraska three weeks ago; under MacIntyre, Buffs are 13-8 as favorites, 11-5 at home. Colorado had last week off; played a I-AA team week before that.

Saturday’s best 13 games
Since 2010, Duke is 18-10 as home favorites, but they failed to cover last six tries as a home fave in ACC games. Virginia Tech lost as a 27-point road favorite to in-state upstart Old Dominion LW; ODU threw ball for 495 yards. Home side lost four of Hokies’ last five games with Duke, only one of which was decided by more than 3 points (underdogs 4-1 vs spread). Tech covered seven of last nine tries as road underdogs; under Fuente, they’re 4-3 vs spread off a loss. Blue Devils are 4-0 with a couple road wins, including a win at Northwestern.

Kentucky beat South Carolina the last four years, winning 17-10/45-38 in two games played here. Underdogs covered four of last five series games. Kentucky is 0-6 vs spread the last six times they were home favorites; they’re 5-2 under Stoops in games with spread of 3 or fewer points. Gamecocks covered their last seven games away from Columbia; they’re 10-2 in last dozen games with spread of 3 or less points. Carolina is 12-10 vs spread in its last 22 games as road underdogs.

Virginia-NC State are ACC rivals meeting for first time since 2012; road team won last two series games. Virginia outgained Louisville 401-214 in surprisingly easy 27-3 home win LW; under Mendenhall, Cavaliers are 6-6 as road underdogs- since ’10, they’re 13-19 as a single digit underdog. Under Doeren, NC State is 11-12 vs spread as home favorites, 2-7 in ACC games- they’re 8-7 in last 15 games as single digit favorites. Wolfpack are 3-0 this season, beating two stiffs, then winning 37-20 at Marshall last week.

Washington State won its last three games with Utah, by 12-1-8 points; Utes split last two visits to Pullman, losing 49-37, winning 30-27. Utes scored total of only 24 points in splitting couple games vs I-A games this month; they gained only 261 yards in 21-7 home loss to Washington LW.

Ohio State won five of last six games with Penn State, losing 24-21 in last visit here; home team covered last five series games.

OSU is 8-6 in last 14 games as road favorite, 9-6 in last 15 games as single digit favorite. Since 2012. Penn State is 3-2 as a home underdog; they’ve outscored last three opponents 108-7 in second half of games, but those teams are also stiffs. Since ’12, Lions are 9-6 as single digit dogs.

Ohio State vs Penn State highlights college football Week 5 betting action
Patrick Everson

Week 5 of the college football season features a couple of matchups that could be pivotal in the race to reach the College Football Playoff. We check the opening lines and early action on a foursome of games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, sportsbook supervisor at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions (+4)

Ohio State got through the Urban Meyer suspension with only one tough test, pulling away in the second half to beat Texas Christian at quasi-neutral-site AT&T Stadium in Week 3. Meyer returned to the sidelines this past weekend, and the Buckeyes (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS) thumped Tulane 49-6, including a last-minute touchdown to give them the cover as 37.5-point home favorites.

Penn State is also out to a 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS start, surprisingly getting its biggest scare in an overtime home victory against Appalachian State in Week 1. In Week 4, the Nittany Lions hammered Illinois 63-24 as 25.5-point road chalk.

“Ohio State might be the more talented team, but Penn State is good and wants to avenge that brutal one-point loss last year,” Wilkinson said, alluding to the Buckeyes’ come-from-behind, 39-38 home win laying 7 points. “We took a bet on Penn State at +4 and briefly went to +3.5, then back up to +4. But by game time, I think it’ll be 3.5 or maybe 3.”

No. 7 Stanford Cardinal at No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4.5)

Stanford is 4-0 SU, but by almost all rights shouldn’t be, after a gift win at Oregon in Week 4. The Cardinal (3-1 ATS) turned an inexplicable late Ducks turnover into a field goal to force overtime, where Stanford won 38-31 laying 3 points.

Notre Dame had three close victories in the first three weeks of the season, then got its offense in gear last weekend. The Fighting Irish (4-0 SU, 2-2 ATS) boatraced Wake Forest 56-27 laying 6 points on the road.

“This should be a really good game,” Wilkinson said. “Notre Dame finally played up to its potential, and Stanford is riding high from its comeback win over Oregon. I like Notre Dame to continue with their momentum and cover that 4.5.”

Syracuse Orange at No. 2 Clemson Tigers (-23)

Clemson is a perennial CFP contender these days and is unblemished so far this year, though it dodged a Week 2 upset at Texas A&M. The Tigers (4-0 SU, 1-3 ATS) went to Georgia Tech as a 16-point fave in Week 4 and left with a 49-21 victory.

Syracuse is off to a surprising 4-0 start and sits 3-0-1 ATS, including a home blowout win over Florida State in Week 3. The Orange followed last weekend with a 51-21 rout of Connecticut, pushing as a 30-point road favorite. And the ‘Cuse has some good recent history heading into this week’s ACC showdown, having upset Clemson 27-24 catching 24 points at home last October.

“This line might seem a little high at first glance. Both teams are 4-0, and Syracuse has blown out all of its opponents so far,” Wilkinson said. “However, the Orange haven’t played anyone like the No. 2 Tigers. I think the public may bet Syracuse plus the points, but I like Clemson at home to blow out the Orange.”

No. 24 Virginia Tech Hokies at No. 23 Duke Blue Devils (-5.5)

Virginia Tech opened the season with two easy wins and cashes, and had its game against East Carolina canceled due to Hurricane Florence, ostensibly getting a bye week. The Hokies (2-1 SU and ATS) then traveled to Old Dominion as a hefty 27.5-point favorite – and shockingly lost outright 49-35, getting outscored 28-7 in the final quarter.

The Hokies also lost starting quarterback Josh Jackson indefinitely to a broken fibula.

Duke is out to a 4-0 SU start, cashing in its first three games. In Week 4 at home against overmatched North Carolina Central, the Blue Devils rumbled to a 55-13 victory but fell a couple points short of covering as massive 44.5-point chalk.

“VaTech is coming off a tough loss, and the Hokies lost their quarterback,” Wilkinson said. “The line has actually dropped to Duke -5 for now, and I’m not really sure why, since VaTech’s star QB is out. I anticipate that line to go up as the week progresses.”

Early Line Moves - Week 5

So far, with a couple of notable exceptions, the betting public has been relatively cautious with the opening of week five college football action on the board. This means that the majority of games on the schedule were set just right by the linemakers. However, there are still a handful of games in which the public has seen early opportunity. The combination of recent performance, public perception, and the assessment of value has been found in some early moves that were made by sharps as soon as the opening odds were posted.

Week 5 Early Line Moves

Hawaii -8.5 to -12.5 vs. San Jose State
Hawaii has exploded out of the gate with four wins in their first five games as their return to their run and shoot offensive roots has been a major payoff. The Rainbow Warriors rank ninth nationally for passing offense as Quarterback Cole McDonald is closing in on 2000 yards already this season. San Jose State has all the appearances of a hopeless program that should fold. The Spartans are 0-3 straight up with a defense that ranks 126th overall nationally to go with a punchless offense ranked 116th in the country for scoring. Considering all of that the big move to Hawaii is of no surprise.

Texas A&M -17 to -20 vs. Arkansas
The Texas A&M Aggies won a considerable amount of respect in their 28-26 home loss to the Clemson Tigers in week two. Most people believed the Aggies were the better team in that game and should have won. But more to the point in this game is the absolute utter hopelessness of the Arkansas Razorbacks. New head coach Chad Morris took over an Arkansas team that was a mere shell of a program. Previous head coach Bret Bielema left an empty cupboard with players that were recruited to run a power ground game. Morris is a high temp spread coach without the players to implement his system. Two weeks ago North Texas stormed Arkansas with a 44-17 road payout. That is indicative of the Hogs woes and current plight.

Michigan -11 to -13.5 vs. Northwestern
True, Michigan is the most public of teams but that doesn’t take away from the fact that their 56-10 home payout last week over Nebraska popped a lot of eyes. Michigan is showing rapid improvement offensively while already boasting a rock-ribbed defense. Beyond that Northwestern has stumbled badly with back to back losses.

Oklahoma -21.5 to -24 over Baylor
This one is a bit puzzling in that the Oklahoma Sooners escaped with their lives in a near disaster against Army on which OU finally prevailed 28-21 in overtime as 30 point overlays. Additionally, the Sooners have covered just once so far in 2018 despite winning all four of their games. Baylor is coming off a 26-7 home payout over improved Kansas and has far better metrics compared to last year. Baylor may have just had their value enhanced with this move and the number could drop back down closer to game time.

Texas -7 to -9 over Kansas State
A lot of fans and gamblers were upset with Texas after their opening day loss at Maryland. But the Longhorns have caught everyone’s attention with dominant wins over TCU and USC. Texas still has mediocre metrics but improvement is slowly taking place with second year head coach Tom Herman. Kansas State was touted as a potential Big 12 dark horse contender in the preseason but that has proven to be overly optimistic after last week’s 35-6 loss at West Virginia. The Wildcats lack the athletes, depth and momentum to be taken seriously against resurgent Texas.

Washington State -2 to Utah -1
Washington State opened as a two-point chalk based on home field but their poor defensive play in a loss at USC last week turned off a lot of gamblers. Additionally, Utah is one of the toughest and best coached teams in college football.

Indiana -15 to -18 vs. Rutgers
This is all about Rutgers losing at Kansas 55-14 followed by a 42-13 home loss last week to Buffalo. The Scarlet Knights are lucky the Big Ten hasn’t called to say “You’re Fired!”

GONE 'TILL NOVEMBER

One of the biggest games of the first month of the NCAA football season will go ahead without one of the best defenders in the nation. Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa won't be on the field for Saturday's showdown at Penn State – in fact, according to his father, the potential No. 1 pick in the NFL draft won't play until at least November as he deals with an abdomen injury that required surgery. Bosa's extended absence comes as Ohio State looks to defeat the Nittany Lions in a rematch of last year's wild 39-38 Buckeyes victory at Ohio Stadium.

Oddsmakers like this one to be a high-scoring affair, with the total of 70 only slightly below the open of 72. Bosa's absence should help a Nittany Lions team that has won 16 straight at home, averaging nearly 42 points over that span.

BUFFALO'S JOHNSON: "THANK YOU, I'M GOOD"

Buffalo Bulls wide receiver Anthony Johnson says there's no lingering issue with his hamstring, and he should be in the lineup for this week's showdown with Army. Johnson, who tweaked his hamstring in the first half of last weekend's 42-13 drubbing of Rutgers, responded to a tweet from a fan asking about his injury by saying: "Thank you, I'm good." Johnson had two catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in the one-sided victory over the Scarlet Knights, giving him 18 receptions for 308 yards and three touchdowns through the Bulls' first four games.

The Bulls are 7-1 ATS in their past eight home games as they welcome the Black Knights to UB Stadium. This one has already seen plenty of movement, with Buffalo up to -9 after opening as low as -6.

PERRY IN, ROSIER OUT?

There might be a starting quarterback change in the offing for the Miami Hurricanes, who host North Carolina on a short week Thursday night. N'Kosi Perry started for the first-team offense in Monday's practice while regular starter Malik Rosier began with the second team. Head coach Mark Richt wouldn't commit to a starter for Thursday's showdown with the Tar Heels, telling reporters: "I think the less your opponent knows, the better." The Hurricanes have won three in a row but didn't come close to covering last week, prevailing 31-17 over FIU as a 26.5-point favorite.

Miami opened at -19.5 but has been bet down to -18. Perry has completed two-third of his passes and has thrown for one more TD than Rosier despite making 34 fewer attempts; he represents the team's best option to reach its team total, which stands at 37.5 as of Tuesday afternoon.

GREAT SCOTT!

The Michigan State Spartans' running game is about to get a major boost with the return of LJ Scott. The senior missed Saturday's victory over Indiana with a leg injury but is reportedly ready to return to action as Michigan State takes on Central Michigan this weekend. Scott has been limited to just 103 yards on 30 carries through his first two games of the season – and the Spartans will happily welcome him back into the fold, as they come into Saturday's encounter with the Chippewas averaging a paltry 119.7 rushing yards per contest.

That said, the Spartans' success hasn't hinged on Scott performing well; while they're 6-3 SU in nine games in which Scott has rushed for more than 100 yards, they're just 4-5 ATS in that span. They're also 3-6 O/U in that stretch, worth noting as they carry a total of 46 into their encounter with Central Michigan.

BRYANT ON THE MOVE

What a fall from grace for quarterback Kelly Bryant, who has gone from Clemson starter to graduate transfer in a matter of weeks. Bryant announced his intention to leave the Tigers on Tuesday after meeting with head coach Dabo Swinney, who told him that freshman Trevor Lawrence would be taking over the starting role. Bryant, who called the switch "a slap in the face," went 16-2 as a starter with Clemson, and threw for more than 2,800 yards with 13 touchdowns, eight interceptions and 11 rushing scores in 2017. Lawrence has already racked up nine TD passes through his first four collegiate games.

The switch to Lawrence should work wonders for a Clemson offense that had stalled at times through Bryant. The betting public is firmly on board, moving the line from Tigers -21 up to -24.5 for Saturday's encounter with visiting Syracuse. They're also a good bet to surpass their team total of 45.5, having already done so twice this season.

SNYDER SWITCHES TO DELTON

Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder has apparently had enough with Skylar Thompson. After pulling his starting QB midway through last weekend's 35-6 drubbing at the hands of West Virginia, Snyder has elected to go with Alex Delton under center for this weekend's home encounter with Texas. Neither quarterback was expecting the mid-game replacement, and Thompson was miffed about the move after the game. Thompson has completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 505 yards with four touchdowns and one interception; Delton is 15-for-31 for 259 yards with one TD and two INTs.

Given that the Wildcats have averaged just 21 points per game and might be downgrading at QB – at least for this week – the under on the team total of 17.5 looks like the stronger play. Texas has won three in a row and held USC and TCU to a combined 30 points in their previous two wins.

RED RAIDERS’ VASHER DOUBTFUL

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will be without one of their key offensive weapons for Saturday's game against West Virginia. Wide receiver T.J. Vasher suffered a knee sprain in last week's triumph over Oklahoma State and is considered doubtful for this weekend. His absence is a blow to the Texas Tech offense, with the redshirt junior having hauled in 16 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns, all of which have come in the previous two games. Vasher is already halfway to equaling his yardage (545) and touchdown output (six) from last season.

The Raiders have seen the spread move from -4.5 to -3.5, while the total remains steady at 76.5. One fewer offensive star in the fold might make the under more attractive – especially considering that Vasher lit up the Mountaineers for 116 yards and a pair of scores in last year's meeting.

MONTGOMERY GOOD TO GO

Iowa State running back David Montgomery was banged up in last week's win over Akron, but head coach Matt Campbell believes the junior will be good to go for Saturday's encounter at TCU. Montgomery rumbled for 107 yards and a touchdown against the Zips but picked up a minor injury that limited his effectiveness in the second half. Montgomery has been the entirety of the Iowa State rush attack through the first four games of the season, racking up 233 of the team's 238 total yards on the ground while scoring both Cyclones’ rushing TDs.

Any injury to Montgomery would spell disaster for Iowa State, which ranks second-last in the nation in rush yards per game (79.3) and faces a Horned Frogs defensive unit limiting teams to fewer than 128 yards on the ground, ranking them in the top-40 in all of Division I. Look for TCU to quash the Cyclones' run game, making the under on the 17.5-point team total a good option.

North Carolina at Miami
Joe Nelson

This week’s Thursday night ESPN game comes from the ACC in a matchup many figured would be a key game in the ACC Coastal standings. Neither team has the record they hoped for heading into the final week of September, but both teams remain without a loss in conference play, with the winner of this game remaining a threat in the quest to reach the ACC Championship.

Match-up: North Carolina Tar Heels at Miami Hurricanes
Venue: At Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida
Time/TV: Thursday, Sep. 27, 8:00 PM ET ESPN
Line: Miami -18, Over/Under 55
Last Meeting: 2017, Miami (-21) 24, at North Carolina 19

After winning 10 games in a row to start last season and reaching #2 in the polls, the Hurricanes closed last season with three straight defeats and Mark Richt’s squad lost in the 2018 opener despite being considered a top 10 caliber team in the opening polls. The Hurricanes weren’t overly competitive in that 33-17 defeat against LSU in Arlington but have since rallied to reach 3-1 ahead of this week’s ACC opener.

The big storyline is the quarterback decision Richt faces this week. Senior Malik Rosier led the team to great success last season with a 3,000-yard passing season while also rushing for nearly 500 yards. He had 26 touchdowns last season but also 14 interceptions and completed only 54 percent of his passes. Rosier had two interceptions in the opening loss to LSU, but had played well the previous two games with wins over FCS Savannah State and Toledo. Last week, Rosier was benched after Miami failed to score on the first two possessions hosting Florida International, even though he attempted only three passes.

Taking over was freshman N’Kosi Perry, a taller and quicker Ocala product that played well in mop-up action against Savannah State. Perry was sharp with 68 percent completions in relief against FIU, leading an eventual 31-17 win in a game Miami controlled with a 31-0 edge before allowing late scoring. Perry does have two interceptions in his 39 pass attempts but also six touchdown passes with a much higher completion rate than Rosier has featured. He didn’t take meaningful snaps in either of Miami’s road games and it will be a quick turnaround with the Thursday game and less practice time with the first team if Perry is indeed starting against North Carolina as most expect.

Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas have provided a strong rushing presence for the Hurricanes as although each has just one rushing touchdown, they have combined for 500 yards with productive averages. Jeff Thomas has been the big play threat in the passing game with a whopping 315 receiving yards on only 12 catches as Miami’s offense can remain capable with either quarterback.

Miami became a national phenomenon last season with the turnover chain and this season the Hurricanes have been formidable on pass defense with four interceptions while holding opposing quarterbacks to just a 49 percent completion rate. Miami has been among the elite rush defenses in the nation with just 2.1 yards per rush allowed in four games with run defense a consistent area of strength since Richt took over. Miami has an even turnover margin on the season and the only defensive touchdown of the season came on a blocked punt and it was also in the fourth quarter of a FCS game that was 56-0 at the time.

North Carolina was in the summer headlines for the wrong reasons with a shoe selling scandal with 13 players ultimately suspended for various lengths staggered over the start of the season. Last season’s passing leader sophomore Chazz Surratt was among those with a four-game suspension, effectively handing the quarterback competition win to junior Nathan Elliott after they split time last season.

The suspension for Surratt is now over even through just three games as the cancelled game with UCF did count. Elliott has been named the starter this week coming off a fine performance in a win over Pittsburgh last weekend. He threw for 313 yards with no interceptions and two touchdowns leading North Carolina’s first win 38-35. That performance was needed after a four interception season debut at California while also struggling in the loss to East Carolina.

The 0-2 start was a surprise for a Tar Heels team that many expected to compete in the Coastal race. The Tar Heels were a disappointment at 3-9 last season but the team played well in the season’s final month and now with the roster more completely intact this is a team that is a threat to make noise in the division race. North Carolina has leaned on Antonio Williams in the ground game with 6.6 yards per carry, so far unseating Jordon Brown who was the team’s top rusher last season.

Run defense has been an area of concern with 4.8 yards per carry surrendered, but the Tar Heels have been fairly tough on opposing quarterbacks with four interceptions for the defense along with only three passing touchdowns allowed. After being -4 in turnovers in the opener, the Tar Heels are even since but the defense has allowed over 900 yards in the past two games after holding California to fewer than 300 yards in the opener.

These teams were on opposite ends of the standings in a late October game in Chapel Hill last season with Miami ranked #8 nationally and undefeated playing as a road favorite vs. a then 1-7 North Carolina team that was 0-5 in ACC play. The Tar Heels competed well with a 7-6 game at the half before Miami went for 78 yards on its first offensive snap in the third quarter. North Carolina still only trailed by four heading into the fourth quarter and had the ball back down five in the final minutes before losing a fumble in Miami territory. The production numbers were similar with North Carolina actually featuring a slight yardage edge but also four turnovers.

This spread suggests the gap between these programs has closed a bit since last season and this is potentially a dangerous date on the schedule for Miami with the Florida State game up next weekend. All eyes will be on Perry in his most significant test with Richt putting himself open to criticism as Rosier has won a lot of games for the Hurricanes. Perry might provide the best hope for an ACC title shot however with this game a big step in the season goals for both teams.

Historical Trends:

-- North Carolina has covered in nine of the last 14 meetings including in each of the past three seasons, winning S/U in 2015 and 2016 before a five-point loss last season.

-- Miami is just 3-8 ATS as a favorite in this series since 2004, but most of the failures in this series have been in Chapel Hill where Miami has covered once in seven tries.

-- Since 2002 Miami is just 31-48 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points, including going 22-36 ATS in Miami and going 3-6 ATS since the start of last season in that role.

-- North Carolina is 13-8-1 ATS in road games since 2014 while going 10-8 ATS as a double-digit underdog since 2007.

-- Only twice since 2007 has North Carolina been an underdog of 17 or more points and both instances came in the span of week last season with contrasting results with a 59-7 loss at Virginia Tech and the five-point loss hosting Miami.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Brian Edwards

**Memphis at Tulane**

-- As of Wednesday afternoon, most betting shops had Memphis (3-1 straight up, 2-2 against the spread) installed as a 14-point favorite with a total of 67. The Green Wave was +420 on the money line (risk $100 to win $420).

-- Mike Norvell’s squad has beaten up on three non-conference foes at the Liberty Bowl, thumping Mercer (66-14), Georgia State (59-22) and South Alabama (52-35). The Tigers are 0-1 in AAC play, however, dropping their league opener 22-21 at Navy in Week 2.

-- Memphis didn’t have it quite as easy against the Jaguars last week, however. After taking a 21-7 lead on Brady White’s 25-yard touchdown pass to John Williams early in the second quarter, USA responded with a pair of TDs to tie the game at halftime. Norvell’s bunch pulled away in the fourth quarter behind star junior RB Darrell Henderson, a first-team All-AAC selection last year who may push for All-American honors this season. Henderson ran for 188 yards and two TDs on 22 attempts. White connected on 22-of-29 throws for 292 yards and two TDs without an interception. RB Patrick Taylor added 75 rushing yards and two scores on 17 carries, in addition to catching three balls for 22 yards. Henderson had two receptions for 34 yards, while Damonte Coxie had eight catches for 113 yards and one TD.

-- Henderson is the nation’s leader in rushing yards (709) by an 81-yard margin. He is in a second-place tie for rushing TDs (eight) and is also second in average yards per carry (12.2 YPC!). Henderson has produced those numbers despite averaging merely 14.5 attempts per game.

-- White, the grand transfer from Arizona State, has been outstanding for his new team. He has completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 1,064 yards with a stellar 12/1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Coxie has been his favorite target, hauling in 23 receptions for 353 yards and four TDs. John Williams has 15 catches for 146 yards and one TD, while Henderson has six grabs for 124 yards and one TD.

-- The new fair-catch rule on kickoff returns and some shrewd coaching from opponents have really cut into Memphis star Tony Pollard’s ability to impact games through the first four. Pollard had 1,649 all-purpose yards and 10 TDs, including four TDs on KO returns, during the 2017 campaign. He’s been limited to 133 all-purpose yards and two TDs so far this year, only getting once chance to return a kick that went for negative two yards.

-- Memphis is ranked fourth in the country in total offense (593.0 yards per game), fifth in rushing yards (309.5 YPG), and 10th in scoring with its 49.5 points-per-game average. The defense is 24th in the nation in total ‘D’ (317.2 YPG) and 22nd at the defending the pass (166.2 YPG).

-- Tulane (1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS) has split a pair of home games while going 2-0 ATS. Willie Fritz is in his third season at the school. His 10-18 SU record doesn’t appear inspiring on the surface, but it says here that he’s the right man for the job and has this program on the right track. Tulane, which is 16-12 ATS on Fritz’s watch, has already lost a pair of one-possession games this season, and it lost three contests by six combined points in 2017.

-- Tulane opened the season by hooking up its backers like me in a 23-17 overtime loss to Wake Forest as a seven-point home underdog. Since then, the Green Wave has beaten Nicholls State 42-17 as a 17-point home favorite, before losing 31-24 at UAB and 49-6 at Ohio State.

-- Tulane owns a 4-2 spread record in six games as a home underdog during Fritz’s tenure. Meanwhile, Memphis has compiled a 4-3 ATS mark in seven spots as a road ‘chalk’ on Norvell’s watch.

-- Tulane senior QB Jonathan Banks has completed 49.5 percent of his passes for 792 yards with a 5/1 TD-INT ratio. Junior WR Darnell Mooney has 22 receptions for 385 yards and three TDs, while senior Terren Encalade has 15 catches for 310 yards and two TDs.

-- Junior RB Corey Dauphine, a transfer from Texas Tech, has run for 289 yards and three TDs on just 25 carries for a 11.6 YPC average. Darius Bradwell has 236 rushing yards, two rushing scores and a 5.6 YPC average.

-- Tulane’s top two TEs, Charles Jones and Kendall Ardoin, are both listed as ‘questionable’ with undisclosed injuries. Neither player was on the field at The ‘Shoe last week.

-- Tulane’s defense is ranked No. 116 in the nation in total defense (495.5 YPG), No. 120 in pass defense (304.0 YPG), No. 99 versus the run (191.5 YPG) and No. 91 in scoring ‘D’ (30.0 PPG).

-- The ‘over’ is 3-1 overall for the Tigers, but the ‘under’ cashed in their lone previous road assignment. However, we’ll note that the 22-21 loss at Navy was played in a driving rainstorm for the entire game. Memphis’s home games have gone ‘over’ by 14.5, 18 and 21 points apiece (53.5 combined pts.).

-- The ‘under’ is 3-1 overall for Tulane, 1-1 in its home outings. The Green Wave has seen its games average combined scores of 52.2 PPG.

-- Memphis has won 11 games in a row in this rivalry, going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 encounters. Nine of those 10 victories have come by double-digit margins and eight have come by 14 points or more. The ‘under’ is 6-2 in the past eight meetings.

-- As of Wednesday afternoon, the forecast at weather.com was predicting partly cloudy skies for Friday night in the Big Easy. There’s only a 10 percent chance of rain, temperatures are anticipated to be in the mid-70s and winds aren’t expected to rise over four miles per hour. The field could be a little wet, though, as the forecast Friday afternoon calls for scattered thunderstorms and a 50 percent chance of rain.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

**UCLA at Colorado**

-- My preseason prediction called for UCLA (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) to finish in the cellar of the Pac-12 South. It wasn’t a knock on new head coach Chip Kelly, but simply an assessment of the uphill challenge he faces in turning this program around. It hasn’t been pretty to date. Kelly’s debut was a nightmare, as the Bruins lost a 26-17 decision to Cincinnati as a 14-point home favorite. Next, they got run out of Norman in a 49-21 loss at Oklahoma. Then in Week 3, Fresno State came to the Rose Bowl and dealt out a 38-14 beatdown as a 2.5-point road ‘chalk.’

-- Both teams are off open dates and have had plenty of time to prepare for each other. As of Wednesday afternoon, most books had Colorado (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) installed as a 9.5-point home favorite with a total of 60.5. The Bruins were +290 to win outright (risk $100 to win $290).

-- Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the prize of Kelly’s first recruiting class, has been thrown right into the fire and has taken his lumps early in his true freshman season. He has completed 54.7 percent of his passes for 522 yards with a 2/2 TD-INT ratio. Junior WR Theo Howard has emerged as his favorite target by making 11 receptions for 185 yards and one TD. Caleb Wilson has eight catches for 128 yards.

-- Another true freshman leads UCLA in rushing. Kazmeir Allen has a team-best 161 rushing yards and one TD on just 21 attempts for a 7.7 YPC average.

-- UCLA came into this year on a 14-24 ATS slump as a road underdog over the past decade. However, the Bruins did get the money in their lone such spot this year when they lost by 28 at OU as 31-point puppies.

-- Kelly had dynamic offenses during his four-year run at Oregon that produced an incredible 46-7 record. So far at UCLA? Not so much. The Bruins are ranked No. 119 in the nation in total offense (319.7 YPG), No. 102 in passing yards (189.0 YPG), No. 104 in rushing yards (130.7 YPG) and No. 121 in scoring with their abysmal 17.3 PPG average. UCLA’s defense hasn’t fared much better, ranking No. 116 in the country (37.7 PPG).

-- Colorado is undefeated going into its Pac-12 opener. Mike MacIntyre’s club opened the season by beating up on Colorado State by a 45-7 count as a seven-point favorite in Denver. Next, the Buffaloes went to Lincoln and captured a 33-28 win at Nebraska as three-point underdogs. In Week 3, they knocked off FCS foe New Hampshire 45-14 but failed to cover as 37.5-point home ‘chalk.’

-- Junior QB Steven Montez has connected on 73.4 percent of his passes for 855 yards with an 8/2 TD-INT ratio. Sophomore TD Laviska Shenault has 26 receptions for 455 yards and three TDs, while K.D. Nixon has 17 catches for 181 yards and one TD.

-- RB Travon McMillian, a grad transfer from Va. Tech, has made his presence known early and often. McMillian has rushed for 290 yards and three TDs while averaging 8.8 YPC. Beau Bisharat has 144 rushing yards and a 7.2 YPC average.

-- Colorado owns an 11-6 spread record in 17 games as a home favorite under MacIntyre.

-- UCLA has been victorious in six of the past seven meetings in this rivalry, including a 27-23 victory last year. However, the Buffs covered the number as 7.5-point road underdogs.

-- When these teams met at this venue on a Thursday night two years ago, star QB Josh Rosen was out with an injury. Nevertheless, I backed the Bruins as a 13-point road underdog and they covered for me in a 20-10 loss. The game was tied at 10-10 early in the fourth quarter.

-- The ‘over’ is 2-1 overall and 1-0 in UCLA’s lone road contests. The Bruins have seen their games average combined scores of 55.0 PPG.

-- The ‘under’ is 2-1 overall for the Buffs, but the ‘over’ hit in their lone home outing.

-- According to weather.com on Wednesday, the forecast for Friday night in Boulder calls for clear skies, light winds and a low temperature of 45 degrees.

-- Fox Sports 1 will provide television coverage from Folsom Field at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Northwestern RB Jeremy Larkin has been forced to retire due to a recent diagnosis of cervical stenosis, which is not a life-threatening condition but prohibits him from continuing to play football. Larkin ran for 503 yards as a freshman in ’17 while serving as the back-up to Justin Jackson, who is the all-time leading rusher in school history. Larkin had five rushing TDs and a 6.0 YPC average last season. He also caught 11 balls for 115 receiving yards. Larkin was enjoying an outstanding year to date, rushing for 346 yards and five TDs with a 4.8 YPC average through only three contests. He also had 19 receptions for 127 yards. This is a crushing blow for the Wildcats, who have lost back-to-back home games vs. Duke (21-7) and vs. Akron (39-34) since winning 31-27 at Purdue in their opener. Pat Fitzgerald’s team if off an open date and has had two weeks to prepare for Saturday’s home date with Michigan.

-- San Diego State star RB Juwan Washington is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured clavicle. Washington had run for 513 yards and five TDs with a 5.2 YPC average through four games.

-- After true freshman QB Trevor Lawrence was named Clemson’s starting QB on Monday, Dabo Swinney gave the senior signal caller Kelly Bryant the day off to absorb the decision. Then on Tuesday morning, Bryant announced that he will transfer and play his senior season elsewhere in 2019. Bryant threw for 2,802 yards with a 13/8 TD-INT ratio in ’17, helping the Tigers advance to the College Football Playoff, where they lost to Alabama in the semifinals. Bryant had completed 66.0 percent of his passes for 456 yards with a 2/1 TD-INT ratio this year. He had rushed for 144 yards and two TDs. Meanwhile, Lawrence has a 9/2 TD-INT ratio. Bryant will have plenty of suitors and be immediately eligible next year.
