'In all likelihood' QB Connor Shaw will start

In his press conference on Sunday, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said that, "in all likelihood, Connor (Shaw) will go back to starting" at QB.

COming off of their first two losses of the season, the Gamecocks face Tennessee on Saturday. "Every Gamecock alive knows we need to run the ball," Spurrier said. Sophomore Dylan Thompson spelled Shaw for a couple of series against Florida, but SHaw gives the program their best chance to win.

Scout: Like Kuechly, ILB Foster will go early

An NFC scout believes Alabama senior ILB Reuben Foster will get drafted earlier than expected.

"I think Reuben Foster is going to get drafted way earlier than people expect," the scout said. "(Luke) Kuechly got drafted early and I think Foster has the same (expletive) to him." Kuechly, the best middle linebacker in the NFL, was drafted ninth overall in the 2012 draft. "What this scout means is that Foster plays with the same nastiness as Kuechly, which is a high compliment to pay the Alabama linebacker," Lance Zierlein wrote. "Foster is known as an angry hitter with bad intentions. What doesn't get enough attention is his speed to go sideline to sideline in order to chase down plays." The analyst believes Foster's game fits any scheme.

Zamora registers 8-175-2 receiving line in W

Baylor sophomore WR Ishmael Zamora caught eight passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 35-24 win over Oklahoma State.

Zamora missed the first three games of the season while serving out a suspension. You wouldn't know it from watching Saturday's game. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder caught both of his touchdowns in the second quarter, finishing out the game with a stellar 21.8 yards per reception. Playing in a fantasy-friendly offensive system, Zamora is a prime waiver-wire option.

Bears roar into Big 12 play behind Russell

Baylor redshirt senior QB Seth Russell completed 18-of-28 passes for 387 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 35-24 win over Oklahoma State.

Baylor has played a typically cushy early schedule, but things will start ramping up for the Bears now that they have hit conference play. As has been the case several times this season, their offense was sluggish early. The game was knotted at 7-all after one quarter, at which point, Russell and friends started to do their thing. He threw a pair of touchdown passes to Ishmael Zamora in the second quarter and hit Chris Platt for a pair after the halftime break. Through four games, Russell has racked up 1,148 passing yards with a 13/4 TD/INT ratio. He should be able to shred Iowa State next weekend.

Lamar Jackson accounts for seven touchdowns

Louisville sophomore QB Lamar Jackson completed 22-of-44 passes for 417 yards, five touchdowns and an interception while rushing for two additional scores in Saturday's 59-28 win over Marshall.

The song remains the same. Jackson has been the best offensive player in college football this season, bar none. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder has accounted for at least five touchdowns between passing and rushing in all four of Louisville's games to date. Overall, Jackson has thrown 13 touchdowns and danced in for an additional 12. Next Saturday's showdown with Clemson will be must-see television.

Higgins throws for 504 yards, three scores

Louisiana Tech redshirt senior QB Ryan Higgins completed 36-of-59 passes for 504 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 38-34 loss to Middle Tennessee.

Higgins and the Bulldogs held a 27-17 lead after three quarters, but Middle Tennessee put on a 21-7 offensive blitz through to the end of the game to secure the victory. The 6-foot-1, 196-pound Higgins has thrown for at least 300 yards in each of his three games played. He has also tossed at least three touchdown passes in each of those games.

Nick Wilson (leg) won't play against Huskies

Arizona junior RB Nick Wilson (leg) is being held out of Saturday's game against Washington.

Wilson suffered a left leg injury of some variety in last weekend's win over Hawaii. With the 5-foot-10, 195-pound junior now ruled out against Washington, freshman back J.J. Taylor figures to see the bulk of carries when the game kicks off.

Montez shines in upset win over Oregon

Colorado freshman QB Steven Montez was a magician in Saturday's 41-38 win over Oregon, completing 23-of-32 passes for 333 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries.

Montez was pushed into action due to Sefo Liufau being held out with an ankle injury. Despite a few expected freshman mistakes, the 6-foot-5, 225-pounder performed admirably in downing the Ducks. The Buffs trailed 38-33 entering the fourth quarter, but Montez would connect with Bryce Bobo from 31 yards out midway through the final quarter to boost Colorado to the lead and eventual win. Depending on Liufau's health over the coming week, Montez could see another start against Oregon State next Saturday.

Lock fires off second five-touchdown game

Missouri sophomore QB Drew Lock completed 26-of-36 passes for 402 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday's 79-0 win over Delaware State.

While Lock and friends were playing the cupcakiest of cupcakes, the quintet of touchdowns will count on Lock's statistical record nonetheless. Through four games, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound sophomore has thrown for 1,508 yards with a 14/3 TD/INT ratio. He has thrown at least three touchdown passes in each of his last three games, with five-touchdown performances in two out of his last three. We should have a better idea of what kind of season Lock might be gearing toward once he hits SEC play proper. The early results, at least, have been spectacular. Those playing quarterback roulette in fantasy would do well to consider Lock as a waiver-wire pickup.

Dobbs dazzles with five touchdowns in victory

Tennessee senior QB Josh Dobbs completed 16-of-32 passes for 319 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for an additional score in Saturday's 38-28 win over Florida.

The Volunteers had lost 11 straight games to the Gators entering Saturday's action. In the first half, it looked like they were going to extend that losing streak. Tennessee was booed off the field at the half, as they trailed 21-3. Dobbs looked lost through the first two quarters, but he picked up the slack in the second half, tossing a pair of scores in the third quarter and another two in the fourth as Tennessee came roaring back for the win. In addition, he finished the afternoon having rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Between his work through the air and his work on the ground, Dobbs has accounted for 14 total touchdowns this season. His passing remains a hit/miss proposition, but when he is on his game, he can be a fantasy stud.

McNichols dismantles OSU with 208 yds, 3 TD

Boise State junior RB Jeremy McNichols rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in Saturday's 38-24 win over Oregon State.

McNichols opened the game's scoring with his five-yard touchdown run just minutes into the game. He would notch a six-yard touchdown run later in the first quarter. These were just warm-ups for the 5-foot-9, 205-pounder's 70-yard bolt of a score with 2:46 remaining before the half. For the game as a whole, McNichols averaged 7.4 YPC. The 208 yards on the ground were a career-high for the Boise State star.
