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.

Orgeron pegs LSU QB Danny Etling to start

LSU named redshirt senior QB Danny Etling starter for the coming season.

This was a competition in name only, as no other player seriously threatened Etling's status as starter this offseason. Myles Brennan will serve as backup to the veteran gunslinger. We like Etling for an improved season under OC Matt Canada. A year ago, the redshirt senior threw for 2,123 yards with an 11/5 TD/INT ratio over the course of 11 games played after taking over for an ineffective Brandon Harris.

Clemson names QB Kelly Bryant starter for '17

Clemson named junior QB Kelly Bryant the starter for the coming season.

All signs prior to the announcement had been pointing toward Bryant as the likely man to receive the first crack at replacing Deshaun Watson. It's official, now. "He has earned it and I am proud of him," said HC Dabo Swinney. "It has been a great competition, but this part is over." Bryant's experience in comparison to that of redshirt freshman Zerrick Cooper and true freshman Hunter Johnson played a big part in Swinney's decision. Bryant has seen time in 12 games during his Clemson career and has completed 13-of-18 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in that small sample.

ECU names Garnder Minshew starting QB

ECU named junior QB Gardner Minshew the starter for the coming season.

Minshew won the job over Duke transfer Thomas Sirk. Said HC Scottie Montgomery, "We like the way each manages the team, both from a leadership and execution standpoint, but Gardner has a little more familiarity with our current personnel." The 6-foot-2, 216-pound junior appeared in seven games last season, including starts in ECU's first two contests. For the campaign as a whole, he threw for 1,347 yards with an 8/4 TD/INT ratio.

Bruins, Badgers schedule games for 2029, 2030

UCLA and Wisconsin have agreed to a home-and-home series for the 2029 and 2030 seasons.

We have no idea what these teams are going to look like 12 years down the road, of course, but the games are now on the docket. UCLA will have hosting duties on September 15, 2029, with Wisconsin returning the favor on September 7, 2030. The Bruins have won seven of the 11 previous match-ups between the two teams.

Seth Collins (finger) ruled out for opener

Oregon State junior WR Seth Collins (finger) has been ruled out for the team's season-opener against Colorado State this coming Saturday.

Collins has been out with an injury to his right finger since for the past week or so. He was expected to start in the slot for the Beavers. With Collins down for the count, Trevon Bradford and Xavier Hawkins could see increased playing time in Saturday's showdown with the Rams.

Wyoming WR James Price breaks collarbone

Wyoming junior WR James Price is expected to miss about six weeks with a broken left collarbone.

On that six-week timeline offered up by HC Craig Bohl, Price would be ready to return around the beginning of October. While he caught a mere six passes for 75 yards in a quintet of games a year ago, the 6-foot-2, 208-pounder put in a strong spring and was looking like a nice supplementary weapon for the Cowboys prior to this collarbone break. His loss thins a mostly unproven receiving corp. Look for John Okwoli and Parker Dumas to receive closer looks over the next week-plus.

Pitt names USC transfer QB Max Browne starter

Pitt named redshirt senior QB Max Browne the starter for the coming season.

Browne beat out redshirt sophomore Ben DiNucci for starting honors. This marks the second consecutive preseason camp in which he has been named starter -- he beat out Sam Darnold at USC last August, too, before a lackluster start to the season forced HC Clay Helton's hand and led to Darnold's ascension and Browne's eventual transfer. In eight games (including three starts) with the Trojans a year ago, the 6-foot-5, 215-pounder threw for 507 yards with a 2/2 TD/INT ratio.

FAU seeking offensive guidance from Briles

Former Baylor HC Art Briles has been informally working with FAU HC Lane Kiffin and FAU OC Kendal Briles.

"He wants to know personnel and different guys and making sure we’re getting those guys in the right spots and getting them touches and all that stuff," Kendal Briles said of his father. For his part, Kiffin indicated that he has sent the elder Briles game film to look over. While Briles is working on an informal basis with FAU's coaching staff, he does not have an official role with the team and has not been on campus. Briles was fired from Baylor in the spring of 2016 as a result of the ongoing sexual-assault scandal which rocked Waco.

NC State boots 4-star frosh WR Thompson

NC State dismissed freshman WR Antoine Thompson.

Fellow freshman defensive end Kevince Brown was also dismissed. The punishments come one month after an investigation was launched into allegations of multiple sexual assaults that allegedly occurred at an on-campus party, though the university stated they "are not regarding allegations of sexual assault." The school mentioned that alcohol and marijuana were present at the party. Thompson, a four-star recruit, was one of the crown jewels of the Wolfpacks' last class.

Iowa suspends starting CB for Wyoming game

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz announced that he's suspended sophomore CB Manny Rugamba for one game.

Rugamba will serve his punishment for an unspecified violation of team rules. A projected 2017 starter who started three games last year, Pro Football Focus ranked Rugamba as the top returning corner in the Big Ten. Per Ferentz, redshirt sophomore Michael Ojemudia will start in Rugamba's place in Week 1. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, they're set to play Wyoming and All-American candidate Josh Allen.

Rutgers tabs ex-UL QB Bolin as starter

Rutgers senior QB Kyle Bolin was named the starting quarterback.

Bolin transferred to Rutgers in April. He started five games in 2015 at Louisville but was replaced by a young signal-caller named Lamar Jackson. Bolin beat out Giovanni Rescigno and 2017 signee Johnathan Lewis for the right to begin the season as Rutgers' quarterback.
