Barkley plans on doing every drill at Combine

USC QB Matt Barkley told the Pensacola News Journal he plans on completing every drill at the Combine.

No direct quote was given, but Bill Vilona writes Barkley "has been able to resume throwing and said he plans to go through all the drills at the NFL Combine." "This is probably the biggest test of my life coming up," added Barkley. On his pre-draft process thus far, the quarterback commented, "I wanted to throw more, do more and really compete, but I had to trust the (trainers) and the program I was on."

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.

Switzer hauls in 16 passes for 208 yards

UNC senior WR Ryan Switzer posted his best game of the season in Saturday's 37-36 win over Pittsburgh, catching 16 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown.

Switzer snagged a 19-yard touchdown pass from Mitch Trubisky with a little over three minutes remaining in the first half. That score was his second of the season. Not only did Saturday see Switzer's first career 200-yard receiving game, it also saw his first with double-digit receptions. With this huge effort in the books, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound senior has now caught 33 passes for 429 yards and the aforementioned two scores.

Trubisky fires off five touchdown passes in W

UNC redshirt junior QB Mitch Trubisky destroyed Pittsburgh in Saturday's 37-36 win, completing 35-of-46 passes for 453 yards and five touchdowns.

After a slow start to the season, Trubisky is coming on hot. On Saturday, he threw three of his five touchdown passes in the first half. Scoring toss No. 5 was the most important one of the contest, though, as the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder hit Bug Howard for a two-yard touchdown with just six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to boost the Tar Heels to a 37-36 win. In his last two games alone, Trubisky has thrown for 885 yards with an 8/0 TD/INT ratio. He will try to keep up this happy roll against Florida State next weekend.

Duke stuns Notre Dame in a wild 38-35 victory

Duke redshirt freshman QB Daniel Jones completed 24-of-32 passes for 290 yards and a 3/1 TD/INT rate in Saturday's 38-35 win over Notre Dame.

The 6-foot-5, 210-pound signal-caller consistently took advantage of Notre Dame's miscues in the secondary. What's interesting about Jones' out-of-nowhere breakout is that he didn't really come out of nowhere. At least not if you listened to his head coach. Blue Devils' HC David Cutcliffe told Bruce Feldman this summer that Jones may have first-round NFL talent.

ND QB Kizer has over 400 total yards in loss

Notre Dame redshirt sophomore QB DeShone Kizer completed 22-of-37 passes for a career-high 381 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 38-35 loss to Duke.

He also rushed 14 times for 60 yards and a score. This loss can be pinned on Notre Dame's awful defense, and not its stud quarterback. Kizer was quite good, displaying great accuracy on the deep ball while gouging the Blue Devils on the ground when his receivers were covered. DC Brian Van Gorder is on the hot seat, but Kizer is screaming up draft boards.

Jalin Moore explodes for 257 yards rushing

Appalachian State redshirt sophomore RB Jalin Moore rushed for 257 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries in Saturday's 45-38 win over Akron.

With Marcus Cox (quad) unable to suit up on Saturday, the burden fell on Moore to lead the Mountaineers' rushing efforts. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder more than answered that call. His scores both came in the second half. He ripped off a 49-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and a 32-yarder in the fourth. Should Cox miss upcoming contests on injury, Moore would be worth a look on the waiver wire in deeper fantasy formats.

Gators' Teez Tabor shaken up in third quarter

Florida junior CB Teez Tabor left Saturday's game against Tennessee due to an apparent injury.

Tabor was banged up on a run by Tennessee's Jalen Hurd in the third quarter. He was able to walk off the field with little assistance and subsequently went into the locker room. His status for rest of the game is uncertain at this juncture.
