Nick Hirschman - QB - Zips

Colorado's Nick Hirschman will miss spring practice after breaking the same bone in his left foot that he broke last August.

Hirschman was going to be the only Buffaloes’ QB with any experience when spring practice sessions begin Saturday. Scrap that. Though coach Jon Embree says the competition for the top job will be delayed until August when Hirschman returns, Connor Wood, a Texas transfer, should put himself in a nice spot with a productive spring. As a redshirt freshman last season, Hirschman threw 35 passes (192 yards) while backing up the departed Tyler Hansen.

Nick Hirschman - QB - Zips

Entering his third season with the program, Nick Hirschman is the only returning quarterback with playiing experience. He feels that gives him an "incredible" advantage.

Hirschman is a third-year sophomore who took the field for the first time in 2011, including one start. A left foot injury that bothered him last season may delay his arrival at spring practice. Despite thinking he has quite an advantage with his service time, coach Jon Embree views Hirschman and another third-year sophomore, Connor Wood, as battling for the No. 1 job when spring drills commence March 10.

Nick Hirschman - QB - Zips

With Tyler Hansen injured, redshirt freshman QB Nick Hirschman could get his first start Saturday at Arizona State.

Hansen, who suffered a concussion against Oregon, is yet another player that could be sidelined against the Sun Devils. Hirschman has appeared in relief each of the past three weeks, but he saw extended action against the Ducks after Hansen exited. The 6-3, 230-pouder was 8-of-18 for 71 yards.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Akron running back Alex Allen has had some decent performances this year with one of the better ones being his two touchdown, 126 yard rushing night against Miami.

Allen has the capabilities of being a top MAC back but is just on the wrong team.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Akron, as a team, faired poorly against Northern Illinois, but that did not stop Alex Allen from having a big day as the senior running back ran the ball 14 times for 99 yards and both of his team's scores.

Allen is a talented back who will continue to struggle until he gets some help from the rest of the offense.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Although Akron lost to FCS opponent Gardner -Webb, they did have two 100-yard rushers.  Alex Allen ran the ball 20 times for 110 yards and three touchdowns while Nate Burney had 17 carries for 119 yards.

If Allen keeps up his touchdown scoring ways, he could be a nice option in deeper leagues.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Akron running back Alex Allen has been granted a sixth year of eligibility.  Allen sat out the 2006 season with a knee injury and missed most of 2008 with a hip injury.

After rushing for seven touchdowns in 2007, many thought Allen was on the way to becoming a solid perfomer.  But injuries have limited Allen's potential.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Akron has fired head football coach J.D. Brookhart.

Chris Jacquemain - QB - Zips

Chris Jacquemain - QB - Zips

ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg reports that Akron has suspended starting quarterback Chris Jacquemain for an indefinite amount of time, starting with tomorrow's game against Indiana. Matt Rodgers will start.

This is a big blow for Akron, and it will likely have an adverse effect on the fantasy production of wide receiver Deryn Bowser.

Chris Jacquemain - QB - Zips

Akron Zips quarterback Chris Jacquemain threw for 162 yards and three touchdowns Saturday against visiting Morgan State.

Jacquemain played respectably in a 31-7 loss to Penn State in Week One - 158 yards, one touchdown, one interception - but showed that he could be a solid statistical play in a more favorable matchup like this afternoon's.  Indiana is up next in a very winnable game for the Zips, with Jacquemain seemingly a solid start for fantasy owners needing a performer in a pinch in Week Three.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

After suffering a season ending hip injury last year, running back Alex Allen is back on the practice field for Akron.  

If Allen's hip is 100% he could be a surprise 1000-yard back in 2009.   He's worth a late round flier pick.

Alex Allen - RB - Zips

Alex Allen is looking to replace Dennis Kennedy and emerge as the Zips' starting tailback in 2009.

Allen showed flashes last season, rushing for 103 yards and two scores in week two against Syracuse before a week three hip injury ended his season. He'll have to fend off Louisville transfer Dale Martin for the starting job.
