Bucky Brooks compares Jameis to Joe Flacco

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks believes Joe Flacco is a better comparison for FSU redshirt sophomore QB Jameis Winston rather than Cam Newton, who Winston compared himself to.

Winston's "game closely resembles the former Super Bowl MVP's play in the pocket," Brooks begins. "From the A-plus arm talent and long delivery to his footwork and sneaky athleticism, it's easy to see Winston developing like Flacco as a pro." We believe Winston's arm is a bit overrated when discussing velocity (i.e. A-plus), but his best traits by far are eye level and pocket awareness. Winston is working to shorten his delivery this season.

Iowa WR VandeBerg injured in practice (foot)

Iowa senior WR Matt VandeBerg suffered a broken foot in practice on Monday.

Through four games Vandeberg is the school's leading receiver, catching 19 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns. Head coach Kirk Ferentz won't address the media until Tuesday, and we will learn more about VandeBerg then. Iowa's schedule has been quite easy, even when factoring in a loss to North Dakota State, and doesn't ramp up until Wisconsin on October 22.

DL Godchaux charged, suspended indefinitely

LSU suspended junior DL Davon Godchaux following his Monday booking on false imprisonment and domestic abuse battery/child endangerment.

Each charge is a misdemeanor. This would be interim coach Ed Orgeron's first big move as boss. Godchaux and his girlfriend, who was also arrested, have conflicting versions of the "short tussle", as it was referred to in the police report. Godchaux's suspension is indefinite.

Grant likely can't apply for medical redshirt

Rutgers senior WR Janarion Grant's season-ending right ankle injury occurred just past the cut-off to apply for a medical redshirt year.

The NCAA says a player applying for a medical redshirt cannot have participated in more than 30 percent of the season. After playing Iowa, Rutgers is one-third of the way through its 12-game schedule. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound speedster broke his ankle against the Hawkeyes. His collegiate career, barring a miracle, is over.

Damien Harris (ankle) listed as day-to-day

Alabama HC Nick Saban said that sophomore RB Damien Harris is day-to-day with an ankle injury.

Harris sustained a right ankle injury on Alabama's first drive against Kent State on Saturday. He did not return to that contest and Saban is being predictably tight-lipped as to Harris' overall health. "Day-to-day" is certainly much more encouraging than "questionable" or "doubtful," but there just isn't a ton of information to go on, here.

Oregon snags four-star ATH Jaylon Redd

Oregon received a verbal commitment from four-star 2017 ATH Jaylon Redd.

The Ducks have dropped back-to-back contests against Nebraska and Colorado over the past two weekends, making Redd's Monday commitment something of a nice momentary diversion. Oregon has told the 5-foot-9, 180-pounder that they envision utilizing him in similar fashion to Charles Nelson, who has played both corner and wide receiver during his time in the program. "It tells me they want me to show my abilities and not limit me in anything," Redd explained after Oregon initially offered to him. "That’s really good." He might be committed to Oregon, but official visits to other programs are expected, here. He took one to Nebraska earlier this season and is planning to visit (in either official or unofficial capacity) UCLA, USC, Arizona and Arizona State before all is said and done. He ranks as Rivals' No. 98 overall prospect for the 2017 cycle.

Texas slaps Perkins with one-game suspension

Texas senior OL Kent Perkins (DWI) has been suspended for Saturday's contest against Oklahoma State.

Perkins was arrested and charged with a DWI early on Friday morning. Per the probable-cause affidavit, the 6-foot-5, 320-pounder was found asleep in his vehicle at the drive-in of a Raising Cane's restaurant at around 3:00 a.m. When asked to move his car, he drove away before crashing in a nearby parking lot. In addition to his one-game suspension, he will undergo counseling and perform community service.

Michigan CB Jeremy Clark (knee) done for 2016

Michigan redshirt senior CB Jeremy Clark will miss the remainder of the 2016 season after tearing his ACL against Penn State on Saturday.

Michigan might have blown out the Nittany Lions on Saturday, but even with the victory, it looks like they did suffer one loss. HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Monday that the 6-foot-4, 206-pound Clark will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2016 campaign after tearing his ACL in the second half of this weekend's win. Clark had started the first four games of the season, logging 10 tackles and three pass breakups along the way. Harbaugh indicated that the team will look into petitioning the NCAA for a sixth-year of eligibility on Clark's behalf now that he has been lost for the season.

Tuberville hopeful Moore (ankle) will play

Cincinnati HC Tommy Tuberville indicated that he is hopeful that sophomore QB Hayden Moore (ankle) will be able to play against USF on Saturday.

Moore sat out Saturday's win over Miami (OH) due to an ankle injury, presumably suffered against Houston in the previous game. Redshirt freshman QB Ross Trail started in his place and would likely draw the start once more should Moore be unable to rock and/or roll in this weekend's upcoming showdown with USF. Fallen angel Gunner Kiel will remain the Bearcats' No. 3 quarterback until further notice.
