Jayhawks RB Sims rushes for 127 yds, 2 TDs

Kansas junior RB James Sims rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries Saturday against Texas Tech.

Sims added another two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best back in the Big 12, and although we like Oklahoma State's Joseph Randle more, Sims is very solid.

Evidence Njoku (lower extremity) out for year

Miami freshman WR Evidence Njoku will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining what HC Mark Richt termed a "lower right extremity injury" in practice on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder is the younger brother of Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku and ranked as a three-star recruit coming out of high school this winter. He has yet to catch a pass at the collegiate level.

QB Allen (shoulder) may return vs. Auburn

Arkansas HC Bret Bielema says senior QB Austin Allen (shoulder) has a "real possibility" of returning Saturday against Auburn.

Allen missed last Saturday's game against Alabama. "There’s a real possibility he plays on Saturday," Bielema said. Though Allen didn't practice Tuesday, Bielema said he's made good strides this week in returning from the injury to his throwing shoulder. If Allen can't go, redshirt freshman Cole Kelley will make his second consecutive start.

Harbaugh praises Saquon Barkley's pass pro

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh praised Penn State junior RB Saquon Barkley's pass protection.

"He is a multi-purpose back that can do everything well," Harabugh said while also highlighting Barkley's receiving ability and competency when running a number of routes. Penn State's offensive line is not a top unit, but Barkley is so good at creating yards on his own or turning negative runs into positive runs. Michigan's front is his toughest test yet.

Wazzu hits WR Martin w/ one-game suspension

Washington State suspended junior WR Tavares Martin for Saturday's game against Colorado due to a violation of team rules.

This straight from HC Mike Leach to The Spokesman-Review's Theo Lawson. Just what Martin did to find himself in Leach's doghouse is not currently known. Martin is working to a 37-502-7 receiving line in seven games this season. He's been held under 40 yards receiving in each of the past two contests, but remains a big part of Wazzu's attack. CJ Dimry could see additional work against the Buffs on Saturday with Martin in the timeout corner.

Snyder hopeful for Ertz (knee) vs. Oklahoma

Kansas State HC Bill Snyder said that he is hopeful that redshirt junior QB Jesse Ertz (knee) will be able to play against Oklahoma on Saturday.

Ertz was initially reported as likely to miss 4-6 weeks due to a knee injury suffered against Texas earlier this month. He sat versus TCU on Saturday, with Alex Delton drawing the start in his place, but it's looking like the knee injury might not have been quite as serious as initially believed. Snyder indicated that he will probably be a game-time decision for Saturday. We'll continue to update Ertz's health as information becomes available. If he can't play against the Sooners this coming weekend, Delton would start once more.

Report: ND LB Martini (knee) out for a month

Irish Illustrated is reporting that Notre Dame senior LB Greer Martini suffered a meniscus injury during practice last week and could miss a month.

A starter and a senior captain, Martini reportedly suffered a rare bye week injury. It couldn't have come at a worse time, as Sam Darnold, Ronald Jones and USC is coming to town on Saturday. Martini ranks third on the team with 39 tackles and leads the Irish with two forced fumbles. If Martini is indeed shelved, junior Te’von Coney is expected to take his place in the starting lineup.

Jewell (shoulder): I'll be ready on Saturday

Iowa senior LB Josey Jewell (shoulder) says he'll be ready for Saturday's game against Northwestern.

Asked about the shoulder injury on Tuesday, Jewell said: "It’s good. Everything’s good. Playing on Saturday is going to be awesome." The middle linebacker was injured 10 days ago against Illinois. The Hawkeyes were on bye last week. Jewell is one of the best defensive players in the nation. He's vital to everything Iowa does on defense.

Auburn boots 2016 top-100 recruit WR Davis

Auburn dismissed sophomore WR Kyle Davis for an unspecified rules violation.

Davis didn’t practice last week and he also didn't travel with the team to Saturday's loss at LSU. He was previously suspended for the season opener against Georgia Southern. In between those two games, Davis posted seven receptions for 210 yards. Last year, as a true freshman, he had 12 catches for 248 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 224-pounder was a top-100 overall recruit and a top-10 receiver recruit in the 2016 cycle. He came to Auburn with considerable hype, but Davis spent much of his truncated Tigers' career in Gus Malzahn's doghouse.

Hawaii star WR Ursua (ACL) out for the year

Hawaii redshirt sophomore WR John Ursua will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.

Ursua suffered the injury in Saturday's game against San Jose State. His loss is a devastating blow to the Rainbow Warriors. The 5-foot-10, 165-pounder, a mid-season Biletnikoff award watch lister, had 667 receiving yards and ranked No. 6 nationally with 111.2 receiving yards per game. According to Athlon's Mike Bainbridge, Dylan Collie, Ammon Barker and Keelan Ewaliko will see increased targets in Ursua's absence. Hawaii is on bye this week. They get San Diego State next weekend.

Utah QB Huntley (shoulder) listed as starter

Utah sophomore QB Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is listed as the starter for this week's game against Arizona State.

It's a strong early-week indication that Huntley will return from injury. He's been out since suffering a shoulder injury in a win over Arizona on September 22. Troy Williams will return to backup duties if Huntley is indeed back.
