Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Purdue Boilermakers Complete Game Preview
Just one week after ending a rivalry with a Big Ten opponent, Notre Dame says goodbye (for now) to another one Saturday night against Purdue.
For all the attention the end of the Michigan series got, the in-state rivalry with Purdue will end a battle for the Shillelagh Trophy, a game that's been played every year since 1946. While athletic directors Jack Swarbrick and Morgan Burke have a date set for 2020, Saturday night's Shamrock Series game is the end of a 68-year streak, the fourth-longest uninterrupted series in college football history.
With 24 hours come and gone after the shutout victory over Michigan, the Irish need to turn their attention to Purdue. While the Boilermakers had a disappointing performance in their loss to Central Michigan, they've played Notre Dame tight the last two seasons and will be motivated in this team's final opportunity to beat the Irish.
Here's all the info you need to get you ready for Saturday night's game.
Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Place: Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis
Radio: IMG College Sports, SiriusXM Channel 129
Spread: Notre Dame by 29.5, according to Odds Shark.
Why Dabo Swinney Doesn't Have a Quarterback Controversy in Clemson
While some may think there is a quarterback controversy developing in Clemson, it's actually the furthest thing from it.
Senior Cole Stoudt and true freshman Deshaun Watson have both received significant playing time through the first two games, but Scout.com indicates some are calling (subscription required) for Watson to be the starter over Stoudt.
Let's look at the reasons why this is the least of the Tigers' worries.
Stoudt Hasn't Done Anything That Warrants Less Playing Time
Having to replace a legend like Tajh Boyd, many analysts—such as College Football Talk's Kevin McGuire—weren't sold on this Stoudt-led offense, but Stoudt has clearly shown he is capable of leading this unit.
While he did miss a couple of passes against Georgia—and even a couple in Saturday's matchup with South Carolina State—he has looked poised and confident as the leader of this offense. What else would you expect from a senior that has been in the system learning from one of the best?
In the second half of the Georgia game, field position and sometimes questionable play-calling kept the Clemson offense from getting anything going.
By the numbers—15-of-28, 130 yards—the senior didn't have the best day, but he made some sharp throws in the first half against the Bulldogs.
Watson's solid performance on Saturday has caused some people to forget that Stoudt threw for over 300 yards in that game. He missed a couple of passes early on but never looked overwhelmed in the pocket, and he didn't make any major mistakes.
Watson Can Help This Team as a Backup
While I will argue that Stoudt should be the unquestioned starter of this team, I'm not going to overlook the fact that Watson can really help this team as the backup.
We saw against Georgia how putting Watson in early helped energize the offense.
He gives you an element that Stoudt just can't, and that's running the zone read. Stoudt has proven he is more mobile than he's given credit for, but he will never be able to run the zone read as effectively as Watson does.
Running that play forces the defense to make adjustments and can also afford the running back more room up the middle when the defense goes after the quarterback.
Another thing to look at is the amount of playing time Watson receives in preparation for next season. The future looks very bright for this Tigers squad because of the recruiting successes under Dabo Swinney, so getting Watson prepared for next season's challenges is also important.
Getting him reps against Georgia in the season opener—in one of college football's toughest places to play—will pay off next season when he faces pressure situations.
Unlike Stoudt entering this season, Watson will have meaningful snaps under his belt when he takes over as the starter. Letting him play early against Florida State and South Carolina would only add to the experience for the young quarterback.
Coach Swinney Is Not Buying Into the So-Called Controversy
Swinney has made it clear that there is no quarterback controversy.
According to TigerNet.com's David Hood, Swinney pointed that out to the media on Monday:
We're not going to have a controversy. The best player is going to play.
Cole Stoudt is our starter and that's just the way it is. If something changes, then it will change on the field through performance. It has not changed to this point. We knew coming in that at some point this would be all anyone wanted to talk about. All anyone ever wants to talk about is the backup quarterback. It doesn't matter where you are or who you are, that's the story. Cole Stoudt has played well for us. We know what we're looking at and we know what we're asking him to do. He hasn't played perfect, but he's played very well as the starter. It's frustrating when people don't want to recognize that.
Swinney also noted that he wasn't happy with how the fans handled the quarterback rotation Saturday against South Carolina State. "We don't listen to the fans. I do think it's sad when you have fans boo a player. I think that's really sad," he said.
Also, TigerNet.com points out which quarterback Swinney feels gives them the best chance to win against Florida State:
Making Watson the Starter Wouldn't Change Anything in the Win Column
Just suppose Clemson makes Watson the starter. Would that change anything in the win column?
The answer is no. Making Watson the starter wouldn't have changed the outcome of the Georgia game, and it won't change the outcome of the matchup in two weeks with the Seminoles.
Going into an environment like the Tigers will see in Tallahassee, Florida, the offense will have to play without mistakes. While Watson hasn't showed any signs of making mistakes yet, we have to remember that he was sitting in a high school classroom at this time last year.
In my opinion, Watson will go on to break all of Boyd's passing records and will have a great career at Clemson, but putting him out there as the starter now is out of the question.
By the end of the season, maybe Watson will show that he deserves the job, but for now, there's no quarterback controversy in Clemson.
Fans have opinions—and rightfully so—but the coaches have been around these two quarterbacks since the spring. They know the strengths and weaknesses of both guys, so fans have to trust that Swinney and offensive coordinator Chad Morris will do what is in the best interest of the team moving forward.

UCLA vs. Texas Complete Game Preview
When: Saturday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m. ET
Where: AT&T Stadium; Arlington, Texas
TV: Fox
No. 12 UCLA vs. Texas has taken on a new look since the preseason, when pundits such as NFL.com's Chase Goodbread ranked it one of the top nonconference games of the 2014 campaign.
UCLA invades the Lone Star State Saturday with a 2-0 record but has struggled in each of its first two wins.
Meanwhile, Texas limps into AT&T Stadium shorthanded and trying to avoid a sub-.500 start for the second time in as many seasons. The Longhorns were blasted by Brigham Young in Week 2, 41-7.
As Chuck Carlton of The Dallas Morning News notes, the 34-point margin of defeat was the most any Texas team has lost at home by since 1997, when the Longhorns sustained a 66-3 thrashing. Coincidentally, that loss came against UCLA.
Seventeen years after the infamous "Rout 66," both the Bruins and Longhorns aim to inject life back into their seasons before each embarks on conference play. This is the last tuneup UCLA gets in preparation for the Pac-12 Conference slate, while Texas begins its Big 12 schedule.

Rating Each Top 25 College Football Team as Contender or Pretender
If anything is certain after two weeks of the 2014 college football season, it's this: There's a lot of uncertainty.
Defending national champion Florida State has gone from a near-unanimous No. 1 in the preseason to one of six teams garnering first-place votes in the latest Associated Press poll after just two weeks of play. And that's without losing.
The short sample we have to work with has muddied up the playoff and national title picture more than cleared it up. With a few exceptions, most of the top teams are still in contention for big things, but how real are those chances? Are they just based on statistical probability or because that team truly has what it takes to be the champs?
We take a look at every team in the latest AP Top 25 and rate each as a pretender or contender and do our best to explain why. Think we're right, or way off base? Add your thoughts in the comment section.
LSU Tigers vs. UL-Monroe Warhawks Complete Game Preview
LSU's welcome-back party in Tiger Stadium went spectacularly against Sam Houston State on Saturday night.
The Tigers destroyed the Bearkats 56-0. The game featured three touchdowns from receiver Travin Dural and debut scores from true freshmen Leonard Fournette, Darrel Williams, Brandon Harris and Malachi Dupre.
The shutout of Sam Houston State was LSU's first since 2010. The opponent, UL-Monroe, just happens to be the Tigers' next foe.
The Warhawks are 2-0 and have already beaten a power-five conference team this season in Wake Forest. But defeating one of the SEC's juggernauts is completely different than defeating a cellar dweller ACC team.
LSU is looking to move to 3-0 before welcoming its first SEC opponent, Mississippi State, to Tiger Stadium. Here is a preview for this week's matchup.

USC vs. Boston College Complete Game Preview
WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 13, 8 p.m. ET
WHERE: Alumni Stadium; Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts
At stake in the Week 3 USC vs. Boston College matchup in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, is the No. 9-ranked Trojans' first 3-0 start since 2011.
USC comes into this cross-country affair off an impressive defensive showing against No. 15 Stanford on the road. The Trojans held the Cardinal to just 10 points despite six Stanford red-zone opportunities.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian described the win as emotional on his Sunday conference call but said USC cannot allow the high of beating the two-time defending Pac-12 champions interfere from preparation for this week.
"Our opponent, whether it's a perceived rival or not, or nonconference or not. ...The way we prepare, the way we practice shouldn't change based on opponent," he said.
This week, the opponent is Boston College, which USC beat at home last season 35-7. The Trojans must avoid the potential apathy with this kind of matchup if they are to return to Pac-12 Conference play undefeated.
Time for Texas QB David Ash to Walk Away from Game After Repeated Concussions
What's happening to Texas quarterback David Ash is incredibly unfair.
In his Monday press conference, head coach Charlie Strong announced what could already have been assumed: that Ash is out indefinitely as he continues to recover from a concussion. Ash already missed Texas' Week 2 loss to BYU.
The news brought about another tough moment in the discussion over whether Ash and Texas need to move in separate directions. Regardless of whether Ash is deemed healthy enough to return at some point this season, the painful reality should be addressed now:
It is in Texas' best interest, as much as it is in Ash's best interest, to move on.
Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes is the starting quarterback, according to Strong. Little went right in the 41-7 rout on Saturday, but Swoopes showed progress from his limited play in 2013 with a 20-of-31 passing performance for 176 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
The bigger issue regarding Texas' offense lies up front with the absences of center Dominic Espinosa (ankle) and tackles Kennedy Estelle (suspension) and Desmond Harrison (suspension). Per Strong, Estelle and Harrison are still facing disciplinary action.
The Horns' offense could be a liability all year because of that attrition. Rushing Ash back won't fix that. Strong knows this as well as anyone.
"You have to be concerned, any time you have that number of concussions," Strong said about Ash (via FoxSports.com). "We will never jeopardize a young man's health for the sake of this football team. That will always be the case."
If we're being honest, how many people realistically expected Ash to return for the Longhorns' Week 3 game against UCLA? His concussion, believed to be sustained on the hit featured below against North Texas in Week 1, already cost him one game.
It looked like a common tackle, and Ash apparently didn't display symptoms until later, but that matters not. The hit former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy took to his shoulder in the 2010 BCS national championship, which knocked McCoy out for the game, wasn't exactly a decleater, either.
A player just has to be hit the right way.
This is not Ash's first concussion. He missed practically all of last season because of one he sustained against BYU in the second game of the year. Keep in mind that it was an injury so bad that doctors wouldn't let him stand on the sidelines during games out of concern for what bright lights and loud sounds may do to him.
The sensible response is that Ash should retire from football. It was the sensible response last year, too. Brain injuries are a hot-button topic in football and the future of the sport may very well depend on how they are dealt with going forward.
Ash's future may depend on it.
As Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated wrote, Ash needs to be to tough enough to walk away:
Ash's situation encapsulates the complexity of the concussion issue in football. The game teaches a lot of qualities that serve players well on and off the field. It teaches them to persevere through discomfort, to sacrifice for teammates, to mentally push through physical obstacles. Unfortunately, these same traits work against players when it comes to concussions. A player can see a bone sticking through his skin. He knows to stop trying to get up and play. He can't see a bruise on his brain.
But Ash wanted to come back this year after being cleared by doctors in the offseason. His teammates wanted him back. Ash is a competitor and doesn't want to let anyone down, even though he would be doing nothing of the sort. It's the same reason why Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty played through two cracks in his spine against SMU even though he clearly didn't have to.
Injuries are part of this violent sport. Yet we unreasonably hope that they will never cost a player his career. As safe as the powers-that-be can make this game—and they should exhaust all efforts to make it as safe as possible—stepping out on to the field each and every time is an assumed gamble.
If Ash wants to take that gamble, is it Texas' prerogative to take that away from him? David Ubben of Fox Sports Southwest explains the predicament:
However, is that fair if doctors say he's cleared to play (while also warning of the high probability of future head injuries) and Texas holds him out? I probably would, but is it Texas' responsibility to do what's best for Ash even if he won't do it himself? Or do his coaches and the school ultimately have to let him take a risk considering it's not an immediate life or death situation?
For folks watching this situation from afar, the decision for both Ash and Texas seems obvious. When you're emotionally invested, however, viewpoints change. That's what makes the decision to move on so difficult. But some of life's hardest choices are the correct ones.
If Ash won't remove himself from playing, assuming he'll be able to play at all, Strong has indicated he could do it for him. And that will be the most painful decision of all for everyone involved.
That's not fair, either.

The 10 Most Unexpected Developments from the Start of College Football Season
It doesn't matter how much research we embark on or how many numbers we crunch: When studying for a college football season, there is no way to see everything coming.
We learn this again each September, when, after only a couple of weeks, certain teams and players come from nowhere to defy expectations, both good and bad, reminding us how little we know.
This year, it started right from the opening whistle, when the first major game of the season featured a Top 10 team getting pummeled on its home field. From there, things have continued to spiral in a direction that we all did not expect.
It's soothing to know that, in this regard, the College Football Playoff era will be a lot like that of the Bowl Championship Series: predictable in its unpredictability. The only thing we know is that we do not know anything.
Here are 10 vivid reminders of that from the start of 2014.
Florida State Football: What You Should and Shouldn't Be Concerned About
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher likes the early bye weeks. Following a grueling three weeks of preseason camp and a 2-0 start with wins over Oklahoma State and The Citadel, the Seminoles get a break to rest up and prepare for the ACC opener on Sept. 20 at home against Clemson.
And FSU could also use an extra week off following injuries to three defensive tackles—Eddie Goldman, Nile Lawrence-Stample and Justin Shanks.
"With the couple of injuries we had, I'd say it's a pretty good thing (to have a bye) so we can try to get guys healthy if we can," Fisher said. "You get to regroup. Preseason is over. You're going into your conference schedule. And you've got a big-time opponent coming in."
After FSU's first two weeks, here are a few things that you should be concerned about and a few you shouldn't be concerned about.
Be Concerned
Injuries at Defensive Tackle
The Citadel uses a triple-option offense, so it's tough enough to figure out where the ball may be going. But the job is more challenging because offensive linemen cut block, hitting defensive linemen at the knees. And one Bulldogs linemen said they were trying to injure FSU players, according to Bud Elliott of Tomahawk Nation.
The Seminoles lost starting defensive tackles Eddie Goldman and Nile Lawrence-Stample as well as backup Justin Shanks to cut blocks in the game. Losing Goldman, Lawrence-Stample or Shanks for any length of time would be difficult for FSU. The prospect of being shorthanded on the defensive line when FSU faces Clemson is a concern.
Defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. said he took exception to the cut blocks. "I kind of took it personally," Edwards said. "I felt like they were playing a little dirty, taking cheap shots, doing a little high-low (blocks) and things like that. So it kind of got the rest of the guys a little angry and made us want to play more."
Cason Beatty has punted six times for a 36.5-yard average. His longest punt has been just 40 yards. And the hang time on Beatty's punts haven't been great.
Fisher said that Beatty had a good preseason camp and that he was more consistent than walk-on punter Jonathan Hernandez. But if Fisher wants to open up the punting competition, a bye week is a good time.
Missed Tackles
It's tough to prepare for The Citadel, a triple-option team that is very similar to what Georgia Tech runs on offense. Scout teams can't replicate it well in practice, so FSU's first- and second-team defenses are learning more through film study and adjusting on the fly during the game.
Still, FSU missed too many tackles on Saturday, and that led to The Citadel converting 11 of 17 third-down opportunities. Cornerback Nick Waisome (who started in place of the injured P.J. Williams) and safety Tyler Hunter were among the players who struggled to wrap up Bulldogs running backs.
Noles247's Chris Nee writes that FSU allowed nine plays of 10 or more rushing yards and 15 or more passing yards, and that seven of those came in the first or fourth quarter. It's understandable when those plays happen late in a blowout against reserves and walk-ons. But it can't happen against the first- and second-team defense.
Don't Worry
The Offense Should Have Scored More
FSU was 4-of-14 on third-down conversions vs. Oklahoma State. Fisher said that was because the offense wasn't efficient enough on first and second down. But that only underscores the point: FSU wasn't good enough on first, second and third down.
The Seminoles were more efficient on offense vs. The Citadel. They scored touchdowns on all four first-half possessions and on all six of Jameis Winston's possessions. And there was much more run-pass balance in Week 2.
FSU has scored 30 or more points in 17 straight games. If the defense cleans up the missed tackles, FSU will put points on the board and win games.
The OL Could Be More Physical
FSU was often pushed around by an Oklahoma State defensive front in the opener. The Seminoles managed just 106 yards on 31 carries. On the flip side, the blocking was good for Mario Pender's 11-yard touchdown run, and while Jameis Winston's scrambling, leaping 28-yard touchdown run was impressive, he received some good downfield blocks to get to the end zone.
FSU had little trouble against The Citadel's defensive front. While that's to be expected, even the second-team offensive line played well. FSU didn't allow a sack and paved the way for 210 rushing yards on 35 carries (an average of six yards per carry).
FSU Isn't Dominating Teams (Yet)
The 2014 Seminoles will be compared to the 2013 team. Last year, FSU won 12 of 14 games by 30 or more points. This year, FSU escaped in the opener and beat The Citadel 37-12.
Neither win purely from a score standpoint looks overly impressive. But the win over Oklahoma State was gritty, and a few players said it was a good early wake-up call. Against The Citadel, FSU scored on all of Winston's possessions and kept the Bulldogs off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter.
Media and fans need to avoid comparing the national championship team to the 2014 team. FSU is replacing 10 starters and clearly going through some growing pains. But the Seminoles are 2-0 and nobody should be too concerned about style points.
But the missed tackles and punting? Yes, those are two areas of concern. And the injuries at defensive tackle could be minor or significant. It's just too soon to tell—but FSU needs the three back to ensure a strong defense.

Pat Haden Fined $25,000 for Actions During USC vs. Stanford
Pat Haden, the USC Athletics Director and a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee, was fined $25,000 by the Pac-12 for running onto the field to confront an official.
The actions occurred during a 13-10 Trojans win over Stanford on Saturday. ESPN's Brett McMurphy initially reported the news Monday. The Pac-12 Conference then released an official report on the punishment, along with comments from commissioner Larry Scott:
"The conduct by USC Athletics Director Pat Haden was inappropriate," Scott said. "Such actions by an administrator in attempt to influence the officiating, and ultimately the outcome of a contest, will not be tolerated."
Here's a look at the confrontation, via SportsCenter:
Scott went on to mention Haden, 61, has issued an apology, which was passed along by Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. But that wasn't enough to avoid the punishment.
College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock also issued a statement on the situation, per George Schroeder of USA Today:
One of the most notable components to Hancock's response was pointed out by Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports:
In fact, following the disciplinary action, Dan Wolken of USA Today noted he believes the embattled should resign from the committee:
USC athletics director Pat Haden should resign from the College Football Playoff selection committee, and he should do it today. If he refuses, CFP executive director Bill Hancock should nudge him in that direction. And if Hancock doesn't want to go down that road, the 10 commissioners of the Football Bowl Subdivision conferences should intervene and demand a change.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see the public reaction to both the fine and Haden remaining on the committee. With this being the first season for the new system, it is already under fire just two weeks into the season thanks to Haden's on-field incident.
As for USC, the team is now 2-0 and dealing with even more controversy. While it is proving it can be a force in the Pac-12, it will have to battle through even more negative headlines to remain in the running.
The Trojans face off against Boston College (1-1, 0-1 ACC) Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPN.

Kynon's Korner: Marcus Mariota's Possible Heir, Lebron James & the No. 1 Recruit
Class of 2016 quarterback Seth Green was in Eugene, Ore. for the Ducks impressive 46-27 win over Michigan State at Autzen Stadium. It was Green's second visit to Eugene as the 4-star attended Oregon's summer camp over the summer. This time he got to see Marcus Mariota at his best as the Heisman Trophy contender threw for 318 yards and two scores on 17-of-28 passing.
Green told me, "Yes. Oregon made me feel very at home. I'm very close with Coach (Erik) Chinander and Coach (Scott) Frost. The win did help them with me. Oregon is my leader."
According to 247Sports Director of Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, the St. Paul (Minn.) East Ridge signal caller (subscription required) almost committed on his visit.
When asked if Green can see himself doing the same thing as Mariota? Green responded, "Yes, but I'd like to be better."
Green added he doesn't have any other visits set up at this time. Alabama, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota are showing heavy interest in the dual-threat passer.
LeBron James Attends Ohio State's Huge Recruiting Weekend
Ohio State hosted a plethora of top ranked prospects for the ACC-Big Ten primetime showdown. Top 100 players, Josh Sweat, Damien Harris, and Jacques Patrick were among biggest names in attendance. Of course it didn't hurt to have Akron native, LeBron James, on the sidelines to show recruits the mega presence of the Ohio State brand. Head coach Urban Meyer said James is always welcomed and you can bet recruits took notice. Last year, Travis Rudolph got a chance to meet James on his official visit to The Shoe.
Unfortunately Ohio State fans, the Buckeyes loss combined with the Big Ten's reputation for not being able to win big games will give schools from the ACC and SEC more ammo on the recruiting trail.
One name to keep an eye on is Sweat, the No. 1 rated player in the 247Sports Composite. The 6'5", 240-pound weakside defensive end has the Hokies firmly in his top five and Virginia Tech's dominate defensive effort in Columbus will help the Hokies' pursuit of the in-state prospect.
Former NFL veteran and LSU defensive lineman, Chuck Wiley, feels Sweat has barely tapped his potential. Wiley coached Sweat at Nike Football's "The Opening" in July. Sweat's style of play has drawn comparisons to Jadaveon Clowney per Bleacher Report's Tyler Donohue.
Wiley told me directly, "Sweat is physically gifted, but he is coachable too. He reminds of former LSU defensive lineman Barkevious Mingo. The Clowney comparisons are there and I see that. Both are elite pass rushers. Josh will need to fill out his upper body and increase lower leg drive to help in run support at the next level."
Florida State is also making a big push with Sweat and they've had success recruiting out of the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area in recent years landing notables Ronald Darby, Alec Eberle, Eddie Goldman, and EJ Levenberry among others.
Wiley added, "Scheme wise I feel like he would do well at Florida State. He has the speed and lateral ability to drop into pass coverage. FSU likes those type of defensive ends. I can see Virginia Tech being a major factor too. When he was at The Opening he mentioned the chance to stay close to home, so his family could see him play. Watch out for Georgia, too. Defensive end Lorenzo Carter signed there a year ago. Sweat and Carter have similar body types. The two of them coming off the edge could be scary in the SEC."
Perhaps most importantly, Virginia Tech's location could be a factor with the hard-hitting defender. His mom didn't accompany him to Columbus, Ohio. I wouldn't count out Ohio State yet in the race for Sweat especially with the selling power of James and reach of Ohio State's athletic department, but Virginia Tech certainly helped their chances over the weekend.
4-star RB Soso Jamabo Takes Family to South Bend
Plano (Texas) West running back Soso Jamabo was in South Bend with his parents for Notre Dame's 31-0 rout of Michigan. Recruiting insiders feel Jamabo could be committed by the time he returns home from his official visit. I caught up with Jamabo's trainer, David Underwood, to vet those rumors and get the latest on his recruitment.
"Soso was at Notre Dame this weekend with his parents. He likes the Irish, but I don't think he has a leader at this point," Underwood told Bleacher Report. "I know Arizona State is talking to him. UCLA is trying to get him for a visit. I think UCLA is next (visit) for him. He wants to go out west during the season. Baylor and Oregon are up there too."
When I asked if he thinks Jamabo will commit early to Notre Dame? Underwood replied, "I don't think so. I know he wants to take his time with the process. It's not just about football. It's a life decision. He is comfortable heading out of state, so that won't be a problem. I could see him making a choice down the road. It could be on Signing Day or whenever he finds the right fit. His style of running would be great for the Irish or any other program."
Underwood played running back at Michigan from 2001-2004. He has been helping Jamabo with the recruiting process since his sophomore year.
Decision Time for 4-star Drew Richmond
On Tuesday, Sept. 9, Memphis (Tenn.) University School offensive lineman Drew Richmond will make his college decision. Richmond's finalists include Alabama, Ole Miss, Ohio State, and Tennessee. The mammoth tackle posted this message on Aug. 11:
Ole Miss received an unofficial visit from Richmond just five days after the tweet mentioned above which is a great sign for head coach Hugh Freeze. The Rebels recruit the Memphis area hard, but the Vols are working to keep him in state. I reached out to 247Sports director of recruiting, Barton Simmons, get his take on the situation.
"Ole Miss is making a huge push for him right now. I think it was crucial for them to get him on campus with his parents in August," said Simmons. "He is a kid that's close to his family and Ole Miss is right down the road. Also, with the way they've been playing you have to like Ole Miss' chances heading into Tuesday."
Even with the planned announcement Simmons noted that Richmond will likely take other visits. The Vols have done a sensational job recruiting under head coach Butch Jones. If they miss on the in-state prospect it could be considered a blow for the time being, but expect them to keep pressing.
Simmons added, "Its hard because as effective as Butch Jones has been recruiting, Memphis is still six hours away from Knoxville. It would be a huge win for Ole Miss. They had a great recruiting cycle the year they got Robert Nkemdiche, but they still need the kind of response regularly to be able to land a kid with Alabama and Ohio State among a list of favorites. This has the opportunity to be a real statement get for Ole Miss."
Stay tuned as Richmond will make his verbal commitment on Tues., Sept. 9 at 10 AM CT.
Peach State 'Backer Roquan Smith Talks 'Dawgs
4-star linebacker Roquan Smith took an unofficial visit to Athens on Aug. 30 for Georgia's 45-21 win over Clemson. Last Friday, the 'Dawgs returned the favor as UGA assistant coach John Lilly watched Smith lead his team to a win over Veterans (Ga.)
"Coach Lilly is a cool guy. It was big having him at my game not only for me, but giving my teammates a chance to get looked at," Smith told Bleacher Report. "That was big for me."
Smith said he definitely enjoyed his trip to the Classic City because of the way he was treated by fans and the staff.
"The best part about the visit was just atmosphere. They made me feel at home and like I was a priority for their program," said Smith.
When asked if Georgia is recruiting him the hardest? Smith replied, "Yes they are. Trent (Thompson) wants me in Athens with him too."
The No. 4 outside 'backer in the 247Sports Composite said he will make an announcement after the season.
5-star DL Daron Payne Takes Unofficial Visit to Alabama
Birmingham (Ala.) Shades Valley defensive tackle Daron Payne has been busy over the last couple of weekends. Payne was at Auburn for the Tigers home opener on Aug. 30. This Saturday, the 5-star run-stuffer went down the road to Tuscaloosa for the Tide's contest against Florida Atlantic.
"It was a nice visit. I got a chance to talk to Coach (Nick) Saban. He was cool, not that intimidating," joked Payne to Bleacher Report. "My parents grew up Alabama fans and they try to get me to go there, but I try not to listen to it. I have a great relationship with Coach (Mario) Cristobal. He treats me like a son."
Payne enjoyed his trip to The Plains as well. He said the game was much closer, so he got a better chance to see what the defense was all about. The Yellowhammer State standout is planning to make his college announcement at the Under Armour All-America game in January.
He told me, "I grew up an Auburn fan as a kid. However, I'm going to make my decision based on the depth chart and where I feel at home."
Mississippi State is also in the mix for Payne. His teammate Keith Mixon is committed to the Bulldogs. Payne said Hail State has done a great job recruiting him and they are one of his finalists along with Alabama and Auburn.

Baylor Bears vs. Buffalo Bulls Betting Odds: Analysis and Prediction
The Baylor Bears have been a great bet over recent seasons, except from one angle. They are just 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games as a road favorite.
Baylor is a big road favorite once again as it heads north for a rematch with the Buffalo Bulls on Friday night.
Point spread: Bears opened as 27-point favorites, but the number was climbing quickly, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark (line updates and matchup report).
Why the Baylor Bears can cover the spread
The Bears are off to a 2-0 start, and they've covered two big spreads already. Baylor opened this season by shutting out SMU 45-0, holding the Mustangs to 67 total yards, covering the number at -31. The Bears then demolished Northwestern State 70-6, racking up 720 yards of offense, covering at -47. And they did it all without Heisman candidate quarterback Bryce Petty, who missed the game with a back injury.
In his place, sophomore Seth Russell threw for 438 yards and five touchdowns. Baylor beat Buffalo last September down in Waco 70-13, easily covering as four-touchdown favorites.
Why the Buffalo Bulls can cover the spread
The Bulls are off to a 1-1 straight up, 0-2 ATS start, and while they're coming off a loss to Army, at least they went down fighting. Buffalo trailed by 30 early in the fourth quarter but rallied to pull within one score with three minutes to go. The Bulls actually outgained the Black Knights 549-466 but couldn't quite overcome three turnovers or cover as three-point road dogs.
Buffalo returned seven starters on offense from a unit that averaged 30 points per game last year and has put up 38 and 39 points in two games, respectively, this season. So perhaps the Bulls have enough firepower to keep Friday's game close.
Finally, Buffalo is 3-1 ATS in its last four games as a home dog, according to the Odds Shark college football database.
Smart Pick
Baylor is probably going to win this game—it's just a matter of by how much. Even if Petty can't play (as of early this week he was listed as questionable), this game is a talent mismatch.
But if Buffalo can put up three touchdowns on a Bears defense that only returned four starters from last year, it would have a good chance to cover this large spread. And that isn't all that far-fetched.
So in this spot, the pick goes with the home dog, plus all those points.
- The total has gone OVER in 10 of Baylor's last 15 games on the road.
- Buffalo is 8-1 SU in its last nine games at home.
- Buffalo is 3-1 ATS in its last four games as a home underdog.
- The UNDER is 10-2 in Buffalo's last 12 games as a home underdog.

College Football Recruiting Offers of the Week
September 1 marked the beginning of a period when college coaches could reach out to prospective recruits who are entering their junior year of high school.
Labor Day came with a flurry of offers to some of the nation's top 2016 prospects.
Four juniors who have earned a coveted 5-star rating were among the players receiving the most attention.
The nation's top corner, Virginia standout Levonta Taylor, was a player in high demand. Georgia is his latest offer, but the Bulldogs joined Arizona State, Duke, Kentucky and USC in tendering the 5'10", 170-pound Taylor, per Jamie Oakes of Wahoos247.
Alabama commitment Demetrius Robertson made headlines last weekend when he visited fellow SEC power Georgia for the Bulldogs' season-opener. Upon returning from Athens, the nation's top athlete was offered by Miami, Michigan and North Carolina.
Fellow Georgia native Isaac Nauta, the nation's top tight end in the 2016 class, picked up offers from Pac-12 powers USC, Stanford and Arizona State. Virginia also joined the chase for the 6'5", 240-pounder.
In Lyndell Wilson and Ben Davis, the state of Alabama is home to two of the nation's premier outside linebacker prospects in the 2016 class. Davis had a busy week, as three SEC teams—Kentucky, Ole Miss and Tennessee—offered the 6'4", 225-pounder. Miami also offered Davis, who, as John Talty of AL.com notes, is the son of former Alabama standout Wayne Davis.
While the battles for 2015 prospects are winding down, the race to land the nation's top prep juniors is just heating up.
Ohio State, Alabama Raid Texas
Texas is annually one of the nation's top breeding grounds for prep talent. While the Lone Star State has its share of in-state college powers, many of the nation's top programs aggressively recruit in a territory as fertile as any in the country.
Recruiting powerhouses Alabama and Ohio State were among the heavyweights who were active last week in Texas in pursuing the state's top juniors.
Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide offered a pair of 4-stars in defensive tackle Ed Oliver and receiver Dee Anderson. The 6'2", 285-pound Oliver is ranked as the nation's fourth-best defensive tackle and the No. 31 player overall in the 2016 class. Anderson, who is committed to LSU, has caught 12 passes for 242 yards and six touchdowns in his first two games this season, according to Sonny Shipp of Geaux247.
A trio of 4-star prospects—quarterback Tristen Wallace, wide receiver Devin Duvernay and defensive end Justin Madubuike—earned offers from Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes.
Duvernay, who also picked up an offer from Washington last week, is the nation's fifth-best receiver and the No. 38 player overall in the 2016 class. Texas A&M and TCU also offered Madubuike, who recorded 69 tackles and five sacks as a sophomore. Wallace racked up 518 yards of total offense and seven total touchdowns in his debut as the quarterback of Dallas area powerhouse DeSoto High School.
Both schools have had success in Texas in recent years, and both schools are increasing their efforts there in the 2016 cycle.
Michigan State after 2016 QBs
With Connor Cook entering his junior season, Mark Dantonio and the Michigan State Spartans are searching for a signal-caller in their 2016 class who could potentially be the quarterback of the future in East Lansing.
Dantonio and his staff offered a pair of the nation's top signal-callers in the 2016 class in 4-star talents Jake Zembiec and Seth Green.
"I was really excited because that's one of the places I really wanted to get an offer from. I went over there over the summer and did really well at their camp," Zembiec told SpartanTailgate (subscription required). "I also got along with coach (Brad) Salem really well."
The 6'3", 220-pounder, who threw for 1,926 yards and 26 touchdowns as a sophomore, is the top player in the state of New York for 2016.
Meanwhile, Green represents the top talent from Minnesota's class of juniors, with the Spartans representing his latest offer, according to SpartanTailgate.
The 6'3", 210-pounder holds offers from Oregon, Wisconsin, Louisville and Minnesota—among others.
Both players are familiar with the Spartans, as each were participants in Dantonio's summer camp in June.
Ole Miss Trying to Start Fast in 2016
Hugh Freeze and the Ole Miss Rebels are likely to sign a smaller class in 2015 due to a small number of upperclassmen on this year's squad. However, he and his staff were one of the most aggressive schools to tender offers last week.
The Rebels offered top 2016 prospects in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas.
In addition to their tender to Davis, the Rebels also offered the top corner in Alabama in 4-star John Broussard.
Staying in the south, 4-star quarterback Jawon Pass—the nation's second-best dual-threat passer—was offered by Freeze. The 6'5", 225-pounder holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Louisville, Notre Dame and Ohio State, among others.
New Jersey natives Ahmir Mitchell and Jovani Haskins also received offers from Freeze. Mitchell is a 4-star athlete who could play receiver or safety at the next level, while Haskins is a 3-star tight end whose recruitment is in its infant stage.
Another tight end to net an offer from the Rebels is 4-star Ohio product Jake Hausmann. The 6'5", 235-pounder is rated as the nation's second-best tight end and the No. 71 player overall in the 2016 class.
Given their numbers situation in the current cycle, expect the Rebels to continue to burn up the recruiting trail in the 2016 class.
2016 Florida OL Piling Up Offers
Included in the Rebels' offer spree was 3-star Florida offensive lineman Parker Boudreaux.
However, Ole Miss was hardly alone in its interest in the 6'4", 282-pounder.
Boston College, Clemson, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Temple entered the race for Boudreaux, who is now up to 45 offers.
As Andrew Kulha of Voice of The Hawkeyes notes (subscription required), there's one school he hopes hops on board sooner than later.
"I'm hoping they offer soon," Boudreaux said of Iowa. "Coach Wallace really likes me and loves my film, and I love that they put lots of offensive lineman in the NFL."
With the lengthy list of teams after him, Boudreaux seems like an early candidate to rise in the next batch of rankings released by sites such as 247Sports, Rivals, Scout and ESPN.
Best of the Rest
- Michigan State also offered 2015 4-star wide receiver Lawrence Cager, according to Sean Scherer of Spartan Tailgate.
- Another 2016 offensive lineman who was greeted with multiple offers last weekend is 4-star Virginia native Clark Yarbrough. Jamie Oakes of Wahoos247 reported that Arkansas, West Virginia and Arizona State are the latest offers for the 6'5", 255-pound tackle.
- Ohio State also offered another pair of 2016 recruits in 4-star athlete Robbie Robinson and 3-star linebacker Carter Coughlin.

Auburn Football: What You Should and Shouldn't Be Concerned About After Week 2
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn's 2-0 start to the season may look pretty in the box scores, but it has been far from perfect.
The Tigers opened their highly anticipated 2014 season with a pair of comfortable home victories—a 24-point win against SEC West foe Arkansas and a 46-point rout of San Jose State.
But as always, there are several areas head coach Gus Malzahn and his staff are concerned with at this point in the young season.
The defending SEC champions had several major questions heading into the early part of the campaign, and a few of them still linger heading into the season's first bye week.
With 10 days to go before No. 5 Auburn's nationally televised Thursday night showdown with No. 20 Kansas State, let's take a look at three things fans should be concerned about and three things they shouldn't be concerned about from the Tigers' first two home wins.
1. Nick Marshall's Passing
Because of his suspension and backup Jeremy Johnson's fantastic first-half performance against Arkansas, senior quarterback Nick Marshall has only played five quarters so far this season.
But those five quarters haven't shown the passing improvement that Marshall's coaches said he made over this offseason.
Marshall is still the same game-changing weapon on the read option he was last season—and Auburn could very well compete for the SEC and national titles again on the back of that dominance with the run—but some of the play calls against San Jose State showed Malzahn wants to see more success through the air.
The Tigers do not need for Marshall to become a gunslinger who throws it for 300 or more yards every game, but icy stretches like he had in the second quarter with five straight incompletions could be a major problem against SEC defenses.
Auburn has a wealth of talent at wide receiver with Sammie Coates (who should be back for the Kansas State game, per AL.com's Brandon Marcello), D'haquille Williams, Melvin Ray and Ricardo Louis, but they are going to need their starting quarterback to step up and rebound from a weak passing performance against San Jose State.
2. Fumbles
Ball security was a problem for the Auburn offense last season, and the first two games haven't shown any improvement.
In fact, while Auburn was fortunate to recover the majority of their fumbles last season, they lost three of four against Arkansas and San Jose State. The Tigers rank near the bottom nationally in both fumbles and fumbles lost through the first two weeks of the season.
Marshall's fumble at the end of what would have been a 50-yard rushing touchdown to open last Saturday's game was particularly troublesome for the Auburn offense, and the quarterback said he is ready to correct his mistake and move forward.
"It was tough because ball security is something we always work on," Marshall said after the San Jose State game. "It was at the last second, when I was about to celebrate, that he punched it out. Being a quarterback, you have to have a short memory, to put it behind you and play the next play."
Auburn's coaches stressed ball security throughout the offseason, and limiting turnovers will be crucial heading into the Kansas State game and the meat of the SEC schedule. Lost possessions weren't difference-makers against the Razorbacks and the Spartans, but tougher opponents might be able to feast on them.
3. Lack of a Dominant Pass-Rusher
Without first-round NFL draft pick Dee Ford or the injured Carl Lawson, Auburn hasn't had the easiest time getting to the quarterback through its first two games of the season.
"We definitely need to get better at pass rush," Malzahn said last week. "If you think back to this time last year, it was real similar and we got better each week. That's what we're working really hard to do."
Auburn showed some improvement against San Jose State with four sacks and several more hurries of Blake Jurich, but only time will tell if the performance was more about Auburn improving or San Jose State being so far behind in talent, especially on a young offensive line. The defense only had one sack against Arkansas and its massive offensive line.
Fortunately, the Tigers look like they have a couple of potential answers ahead of the trip to Manhattan.
Sophomore Montravius Adams had a career night against the Spartans with six tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack, and the athletic 300-pounder took snaps at both tackle and end. Starting middle linebacker Cassanova McKinzy is also an option in some third-down packages, giving Auburn more athleticism off the edge.
1. Special Teams Play
Auburn lost key starters on both offense and defense, but the biggest change from 2013 to 2014 was in the special teams unit, which had to replace a starting kicker, punter, holder, punt returner and kick returners.
Through two games, the Tigers have shown the special teams consistency they have been known for the last few seasons.
Redshirt freshman Daniel Carlson has been an early star, handling kicking, punting and kickoff duties without any major problems. Carlson won the SEC Freshman of the Week award after his impressive all-around debut against Arkansas:
"That was one of those things that was affecting my stress level going into the first game with a new kicker, who happens to punt, and he's a freshman," Malzahn said during his weekly Tiger Talk radio show last Monday. "But he handled himself like a champ."
Senior Quan Bray has shown an impressive first step in his return to punt return duties, and he recorded his first special teams touchdown in the second quarter of the San Jose State game. Bray ranks third nationally in average yards per return with 28.67 and is one of 14 players to take back a punt for six points so far this season.
2. New Offensive Line Starters
The entire left side of Auburn's dominant offensive line from a year ago is gone—tackle Greg Robinson is now playing on Sundays for the St. Louis Rams, while guard Alex Kozan misses the entire 2014 campaign after back surgery.
But Auburn's veteran front five has not missed a beat with the preseason shuffle.
Even with Shon Coleman holding down a new starting spot, senior Chad Slade flipping back to left guard, Avery Young moving inside to right guard and Patrick Miller returning to his old role as starting right tackle, the Tigers' offense is still lightning up the scoreboard.
Auburn is seventh nationally in total rushing yards with 660 and is tied for eighth in sacks allowed with just one through the first two games.
There were plenty of preseason doubts about how Coleman would fill Robinson's spot on the depth chart and how the position changes could keep the offense from playing to its full potential. The Tigers' attack has had hiccups, but you can't point the finger at any of the five offensive linemen through two solid games.
3. Replacing Tre Mason
Malzahn might still view Cameron Artis-Payne and Corey Grant as the co-starters at running back, but Auburn seems to already have its replacement for former Heisman Trophy finalist Tre Mason.
Artis-Payne has taken over the between-the-tackles, every-down role Mason carved out for himself midway through last season, while Grant continues to be a big-play threat on sweeps and outside runs by rushing for 8.8 yards per touch.
The Tigers also have a bit more depth at the running back position behind the two seniors. While Mason, Artis-Payne and Grant were the only key rushers alongside Marshall last season, Auburn now has a pair of freshmen who have game experience.
Peyton Barber got a few touches on the final drive of the Arkansas game, and Roc Thomas took the reins late in the San Jose State game. Thomas' first career carry was a short touchdown run, and he gave fans a glimpse of the agility and tackle-breaking abilities that made him a coveted in-state prospect.
While the Auburn offense continues to put more of an emphasis on throwing the ball, the base of Malzahn's attack continues to be the deadly run game, even without Mason. If these backs can hold onto the football, fans could be in for another record-breaking season on the Plains.

Forget Todd Gurley, QB Hutson Mason Is Georgia's X-Factor Against South Carolina
It's safe to say that, aside from Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill, not many people have had better starts to their seasons than Georgia running back Todd Gurley.
All Gurley did in his season debut against Clemson was rush for 198 yards and three touchdowns, scored another on a 100-yard kickoff return and set a single-game Georgia record for total offense with 293 yards.
Now the Heisman contender has had two weeks to recover from his strong debut and prepare for Saturday's SEC opener at South Carolina, with head coach Steve Spurrier's crew uncertainly gearing up to shut down Gurley.
"He is a big, strong back," Spurrier said, according to Josh Kendall of The State. "He and the quarterback at Oregon are the Heisman leaders right now, but hopefully he may not be the leader (after Saturday). He's going to get his yards, there's no question about that. He's going to get his yards against everybody."
Gurley will still have a great day against the Gamecocks, but it'll be his quarterback—redshirt senior Hutson Mason—who will be the X-factor on Saturday afternoon at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Mason served more as a game manager in the opener, completing 18 of 26 passes for 131 yards. Considering Gurley and fellow running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel ran wild, that was the right plan from head coach Mark Richt and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo.
Mason hopes that it's different against the Gamecocks, according to Seth Emerson of the The Telegraph (Macon, Ga.).
"I'm sure South Carolina when they get to prepping for us is gonna think, 'Load the box,'" Mason told Emerson. "I hope they do. We're gonna throw it. And I hope we throw it the first play of the game."
South Carolina can't take any chances. It's going to have to load up against Gurley, which will expose its biggest weakness—pass defense. The Gamecocks struggled to get pressure against a stellar Texas A&M offensive line in Week 1 and looked lost at the back end, struggling to cover A&M's deep and versatile wide receiving corps.
They looked better against East Carolina, but Georgia is loaded at the skill positions just like A&M, and it'll be up to Mason to take advantage just like the Aggies did.
He will.
Mason has been in this system for four-plus years, learning behind record-setting quarterback Aaron Murray. He looked sharp in the spring, nailing back-shoulder fades not only deep downfield but also in the red zone, which was a big part of Murray's game.
South Carolina will go in with a game plan to shut down the Georgia running game and put pressure on Mason in a hostile environment, and with a supremely-talented wide receiving corps that includes Chris Conley and Michael Bennett, Mason will succeed with flying colors.
As I wrote this spring, that could put more emphasis on tempo within the offense, something that Mason said he preferred after the spring game.
For the most part, Georgia' game plans have been relatively conservative in Columbia over the last two decades, as Kendall noted on Twitter.
That will change Saturday afternoon.
Whether the Gamecocks successfully take away Gurley or not, there will be more pressure on Mason's shoulders to be a difference-maker for the Bulldogs in a game that will define the early-season landscape in the SEC East.
He'll succeed.

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Oklahoma Sooners Complete Game Preview
The Tennessee Volunteers took care of business the first two weeks of the season, but warm-ups are over.
It's time for the Vols to travel to Norman to take on Oklahoma, and the fourth-ranked Sooners appear to be a matchup nightmare for a young UT team with questions abounding.
Can the Vols get their offensive line situation squared up enough to slow down OU's vaunted pass rush? Can the defense keep its impressive third-down run going? Will either of UT's injured offensive weapons (Von Pearson and Ethan Wolf) be available?
A lot must be sorted out before Saturday night's showdown, and there's not a lot of time to do it.
The Vols passed their first test in slowing mobile quarterbacks Chuckie Keeton and Fredi Knighten. They also overcame playing sluggishly after a short week of practice.
Now comes the biggest challenge so far.
On paper, it looks like UT's first loss of the season awaits, but there's no better way for the Vols' young team to grow up than to play grown men. That's about to happen.
Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Place: Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman, Oklahoma
Radio: Vol Network, Sooner Sports Network, Sirius/XM 91
Spread: Oklahoma by 21 points, according to OddsShark.com.
AP College Football Poll 2014: Official Top-25 Rankings, Week 3 Projections
The voters were impressed by the Oregon Ducks' 46-27 victory at home against the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday night. So much so, they vaulted the Ducks ahead of the Alabama Crimson Tide in the latest Associated Press Top 25.
Alabama blew out Florida Atlantic 41-0 but struggled in Week 1 against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Tide had to sweat out a 33-23 win over the Mountaineers. It's possible that the less-than-impressive victory created some doubt in the minds of voters.
The other major change in the Top 25 involved the Ohio State Buckeyes. After Ohio State had some anxious moments against Navy in Week 1, it lost to Virginia Tech on Saturday 35-21.
The loss sent the Buckeyes tumbling from No. 8 to No. 22 in the latest poll. Here's a look at the entire Top 25 released on Sunday morning, per ESPN.com.
AP Top 25RankTeamRecordPoints 1 Florida State (38) 2-0 1463 2 Oregon (16) 2-0 1415 3 Alabama (1) 2-0 1334 4 Oklahoma (2) 2-0 1303 5 Auburn 2-0 1236 6 Georgia (1) 1-0 1201 7 Texas A&M (2) 2-0 1101 8 Baylor 2-0 1043 9 USC 2-0 1039 10 LSU 2-0 1029 11 Notre Dame 2-0 815 12 UCLA 2-0 779 13 Michigan State 1-1 751 14 Ole Miss 2-0 703 15 Stanford 1-1 592 16 Arizona State 2-0 570 17 Virginia Tech 2-0 532 18 Wisconsin 1-1 391 19 Kansas State 2-0 285 20 Missouri 2-0 237 21 Louisville 2-0 234 22 Ohio State 1-1 222 23 Clemson 1-1 206 24 South Carolina 1-1 199 25 BYU 2-0 179
Looking Ahead to Week 3
The Biggest Game of the Week - No. 6 Georgia at No. 24 South Carolina
The South Carolina Gamecocks are 1-1, but they haven't looked good yet this season. After losing 52-28 in Week 1 against the Texas A&M Aggies, the Gamecocks scored an unimpressive 33-23 win over the East Carolina Pirates on Saturday.
Needless to say, the Gamecocks' confidence can't be too high heading into a clash with SEC foe Georgia on Saturday.
South Carolina has allowed an average of 482 total yards through its first two games. With Georgia's Todd Gurley coming to the Palmetto State, that number could grow on Saturday. Barring a massive turnaround this week, South Carolina is going to fall below .500 and out of the Top 25.
With only one game pitting ranked teams against each other, there may not be much movement in the rankings—unless there are a few upsets.
Potential Upsets
East Carolina at No. 17 Virginia Tech
The Virginia Tech Hokies are coming off a huge upset win over Ohio State. Could they be heading for a letdown against the East Carolina Pirates?
Pirates quarterback Shane Carden has it in him to produce a big-time performance. Carden had five 350-yard passing games in 2013, and that includes a 376-yard, three-touchdown performance against North Carolina.
The Hokies defense will have to be ready for a fast-paced and potentially explosive attack.
No. 21 Louisville at Virginia
The Virginia Cavaliers shocked a few doubters in Week 2 when they pushed the UCLA Bruins to the wire.
Even though the Cavs fell 28-20, their ability to force turnovers and limit highly touted quarterback Brett Hundley to fewer than 300 yards through the air proved how effective the team's defense could be.
Without question, Bobby Petrino's Louisville offense is on another level, but if Virginia can disturb the Cardinals' rhythm on offense, it could have a shot at knocking Louisville from the Top 25.
The Cavs haven't beaten a ranked team since 2011. A year after winning just two games, the roster seems intent upon playing hard for head coach Mike London. A big win over Louisville could go a long way toward establishing more job security.

I picked up my phone (Nexus One) this morning to find that there was a system update ready to install, and according to the message on it, it was 'part one of two'. And that 'this must be installed first to allow the installation of the second update'.
'W00t' I thought, expecting the first to be a preperation for the second update which was to be Gingerbread, but no. After the first installed and rebooted the second downloaded only to be some bug fixes and security patches :(
C'mon. I want Gingerbread!!!

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Plug Power Receives Milestone Order From Walmart For Multi-Site Hydrogen Fuel Cell Deployment
LATHAM, N.Y., Feb. 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG) today confirms the company has received a multi-site GenKey purchase order from Walmart Stores, Inc. to roll out its hydrogen fuel cell solution to power electric lift truck fleets at six North America distribution centers. The first of six sites will be deployed by the second quarter of 2014.
Further purchase order terms for the multi-site order initially announced on February 10, 2014 include:
- Total of 1,738 GenDrive fuel cell units, to be deployed over two years
- GenFuel infrastructure construction and hydrogen fuel supply
- Six-year GenCare service contract for each site
GenDrive hydrogen fuel cells have universal appeal in material handling applications because they can contribute to an increase in productivity. Workers spend less time fueling a forklift truck as compared to changing a lead-acid battery, resulting in less downtime. GenDrive fuel cells also have no exhaust emissions so that they can be a component in implementing corporate environmental initiatives."We are pleased with the performance of the hydrogen fuel cells that we have been operating and are excited to expand our program with Plug Power," said Jeff Smith, Senior Director for Walmart Logistics. "This agreement is a tripling of Walmart's commitment to Plug Power's fuel cells, and is encouraging because it comes from a company with so much experience using our product," said Andy Marsh, CEO at Plug Power. "This is a milestone for Plug Power and its ongoing business relationship with Walmart. Plug Power's GenDrive products have a positive impact on the productivity of our customer's operations. We have proven to be a trusted partner and are confident that GenKey will enhance Walmart's material handling operations." Walmart currently has 535 GenDrive fuel cell units in operation at sustainable refrigerated distribution centers, including two sites in Canada and one in the United States. Specifically, Walmart's Balzac, Canada, fresh food distribution center is the most energy-efficient distribution facility of its kind in North America. Additionally, the Walmart Washington Courthouse distribution center in Ohio was the launching point of the GenFuel business.
