Rang: Five junior QBs considering jump to NFL

Citing sources, CBS Sports' Rob Rang listed five junior QBs that possibly played their final home games Saturday.

The five quarterbacks are: Georgia's Aaron Murray, Tennessee's Tyler Bray, Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas, Fresno State's Derek Carr, and San Jose State's David Fales. Carr apparently announced after his game Saturday that he would return, but the others are still noncommittal. Fales is a darkhorse and a personal favorite of the last couple months.

Report: Georgia Southern fires HC Summers

Football Scoop's Zach Barnett reports that Georgia Southern has fired HC Tyson Summers.

The nail in Summers' coffin came when the Eagles were blown out 55-20 by a previously win-less UMass squad on Saturday. That loss dropped Georgia Southern to 0-6. Summers managed just a 5-13 record since assuming the helm in December of 2015. Per Barnett, TE coach Chad Lunsford will take over as interim head coach with Summers being shown the door.

Notre Dame joins top-10 in fresh AP poll

In the latest release of the AP Top-25 poll, Notre Dame was the only new entry in the top 10.

The Irish scooted up from No. 13 to No. 9 courtesy of their blowout of USC on Saturday. There was little positive movement otherwise, with the first eight teams in the poll (Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, TCU, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Clemson and Miami) all holding their positions from the last poll release. A hearty welcome into polling action for Iowa State, though, with the Cyclones landing at No. 25. They're currently rolling on a three-game winning streak.

Sam Darnold (ankle) unconcerned by injury

USC redshirt sophomore QB Sam Darnold said that his ankle injury is "nothing I can't handle."

Darnold aggravated a previous ankle injury in Saturday's demoralizing loss to Notre Dame and sat for most of the fourth quarter. This doesn't sound like a major issue, but the upcoming practice week will tell the tale as to whether the redshirt sophomore is able to play against Arizona State next weekend. Matt Fink would likely take the reigns if Darnold is unable to play in that contest.

Virginia hires Carla Williams to serve as AD

Virginia hired Georgia deputy athletic director Carla Williams to serve as athletic director.

Williams' hiring is a landmark one, as she becomes the first female African-American to serve as athletic director at a Power Five program. She had been with Georgia for 13 years prior to being hired over by the Cavaliers. UVA president-elect Jim Ryan said in a statement, "She is exceedingly well-prepared for this role, but more than that, she is fiercely committed to excellence in both athletics and academics and has a track record of success in both arenas."

Arkansas RB Hayden (leg) could miss time

Arkansas freshman RB Chase Hayden (leg) could miss an extended amount of time.

Hayden was injured in Saturday's loss to Auburn, exiting stage left after registering a pair of carries for 42 yards and one catch for 23 yards. After the game, Razorbacks HC Bret Bielema said, "I don’t want to comment on Chase until I know for sure," but did offer that the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder is dealing with an injury to the lower leg. The true freshman has rushed for 338 yards and four touchdowns for the current campaign. Further information as to his playing status moving forward should emerge in the coming days.

QB Ta'amu likely to take over for Patterson

Ole Miss junior QB Jordan Ta'amu entered in relief of Shea Patterson (knee) on Saturday against LSU and will likely to take over starting duties now that Patterson is out for the year.

Ta'amu (6'2/212) went 7-for-11 for 78 yards and 20 rushing yards on three carries against the Tigers. "I’m very confident (in Ta'amu moving forward)," HC Matt Luke said. "He showed some flashes tonight and did some things with his legs. I was impressed with him throwing the ball tonight. He led us on two scoring drives and that gave him some valuable experience." Ta’amu posted 3,000 passing yards and 39 total touchdowns last season at the junior college level. In the 2017 cycle, Ta'amu was tabbed as a three-star prospect by Scout and ESPN and the No. 4 JUCO dual-threat QB in the nation by ESPN. He was also a member of the Scout JUCO Top 100, listed as the No. 99 overall JUCO prospect in the country. "Jordan is a player and can handle the spotlight," said New Mexico Military HC Joe Forchtner, Ta'amu's JUCO coach. "I’d take him as my quarterback at any school in the country."

Ole Miss QB Patterson (knee) out for the year

Ole Miss sophomore QB Shea Patterson (knee) will miss the remainder of the season.

Patterson tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee late in the first half of Saturday's loss to LSU. In a display of pure grit, Patterson returned after halftime to play all but the waning minutes of the game with a brace on his injured knee. According to reports, Patterson will spend the next four weeks in a cast. He won't know if he'll need surgery until an examination after that period (many PCL injuries heal on their own). Patterson, the SEC's leading passer, ends the season with 2,259 passing yards and a 17/9 TD/INT ratio. He'll enter next season as one of college football's more intriguing QB prospects. The 6-foot-2, 203-pounder is most often compared to Russell Wilson and Johnny Manziel (including by Texas A&M HC Kevin Sumlin). Last year, an NFL scout told Bleacher Report that Patterson "has the tools to play in this league for 10 years—and make a whole lot of money." Patterson, a former five-star recruit, was the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2016 class.

Falk throws for three scores in blowout

Washington State senior QB Luke Falk completed 17-of-34 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in a 28-0 demolishing of Colorado on Saturday.

Falk also ran for 41 yards, as the 6-foot-4, 223-pound quarterback had all day to throw and took off when necessary. While the three touchdowns are great, this was not a strong game from the senior QB. Anytime he had to make a throw that wasn't the first read, he struggled with accuracy, and Colorado dropped multiple interceptions. Still, even in a "bad" game, there were moments of brilliance for the potential first-round pick. Falk and the Cougs get Arizona next.

Sills scores three times in close win over BU

West Virginia junior WR David Sills hauled in seven passes for 136 yards with three touchdowns in a 38-36 victory over Baylor on Saturday.

What a season this has been for Sills (6'4/203). It's not only the fourth time in a row that he's caught at least two touchdowns in a game, it's the second-straight time he's found the end zone three times. He and Mountaineers' quarterback Will Grier have obvious chemistry, and Sills is just about uncoverable in the red zone. Don't be surprised if Sills scores two or more times again next week against Oklahoma State.

Grier throws for five scores in 38-36 win

West Virginia redshirt junior QB Will Grier completed 26-of-37 passes for 375 yards and five scores in a 38-36 victory over Baylor on Saturday.

Grier (6'2/215) dominated the Baylor defense on Saturday, which is no surprise considering how good he is, and how the Bears are not. He found wideout David Sills V for three of his scores, with Marcus Simms and Ka'Raun White hauling in the other two touchdown passes. West Virginia and their Heisman-contending quarterback will have a marquee offensive matchup next week against Oklahoma State.

Kenny Hill thrills with five touchdown passes

TCU redshirt senior QB Kenny Hill completed 19-of-26 passes for 278 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday's 43-0 win over Kansas.

The Jayhawks made Hill's life a living you-know-what last season, but he vanquished those demons with a sensational performance on Saturday. The redshirt senior gunslinger has been very much a hot/cold quarterback this year, with three games of at least four touchdown passes and four with one or no scoring tosses. Mattering far more for the Horned Frogs in their Playoff quest than Hill's touchdown work, the fact that the quarterback has thrown just three interceptions this season after being plagued by turnover issues a year ago. TCU will look to improve to 8-0 when they travel to Ames for a date with Iowa State next weekend.
