Nebraska @ Missouri, Thursday, 9:00 PM EST

Nebraska: Zac Lee, Roy Helu and Curenski Gilleylen.
Watch for…..WR Curenski Gilleylen.  He only has 8 receptions for 255 yds and 1 touchdown on the year, however, the talented sophomore is averaging almost 32 yds a catch!!

Missouri: Blaine Gabbert, Derrick Washington, Jared Perry and Danario Alexander.
Watch for….WR Danario Alexander.  After being shut out of the enzone in the first two games, he’s scored 4 TD’s in the last 2 games.

Bottom Line: Both teams are coming off of a bye .  Expect for Blaine and Zac to each reach 300 yds passing and 3 td’s.

Oklahoma State @ Texas A&M, Saturday, 12:30 PM EST

Oklahoma State: Zac Robinson, Kendall Hunter, Dez Bryant and Dameron Fooks.
Watch for…. WR Dameron Fooks.  4 receptions for 81 yards and 2 scores last week.  Someone must benefit for the double coverage Dez will face.

Texas A&M: Jerrod Johnson, Christine Michael, Cyrus Gray, Ryan Tannehill and Jamie McCoy.
Watch for….WR Ryan Tannehill.  As long as JJ is slingin’ it 40-45 times a game, Tannehill stands a good chance to post quality stats.

Bottom Line: Kyle Field.  12th Man.  Big 12 Opener.  The winner might need to score 40.

Marshall @ Tulane, Saturday, 3:30 PM EST

Marshall: Brian Anderson, Darius Marshall and Cody Slate.
Watch for….QB Brian Anderson.  At some point the Marshall QB is going to have to be able to EFFECTIVELY through a forward pass.  Channel your Week 1 effort, Mr. Anderson.

Tulane: Joe Kemp, Andre Anderson and Jeremy Williams.
Watch for…..WR Jeremy Williams.  Teams know he is getting it and still can’t stop him.  That is one bad man!

Bottom Line:  Anderson and Marshall will go well over 100 yds and 2 td’s.  Neither team is good defensively, so expect big plays and plenty of offense.

Utah @ Colorado State, Saturday, 6:00 PM EST

Utah:  Terrance Cain, Eddie Wide, David Reed and Jerome Brooks.
Watch for….RB Eddie Wide.  Filling in for injured Matt Asiata, Wide had 19 carries for 129 yds vs Louisville.  I see a big day for him in this match up.

Colorado State: Grant Stucker, Leonard Mason and Rashaun Greer.
Watch for…..QB Grant Stucker.  Over the last two weeks, he’s posting over 600 passing yards, and 6 touchdowns.  Another 300-3 performance is certainly possible on Saturday.

Bottom Line: This potential shootout is my under-the-radar special for the week.  Stucker and Cain should light it up.

Fresno State @ Hawaii, Saturday, 11:05 PM EST

Fresno State: Ryan Colburn, Ryan Matthews, Devon Wylie and Seyi Ajirotutu.
Watch for…..RB Ryan Matthews.  Look for Fresno to try to play keep away.  Matthews could be in for a huge night. 

Hawaii:  Bryant Moniz, Brent Rausch,  Greg Salas, Rodney Bradley and Royce Pollard.
Watch for…..QB situation.  Moniz or Rausch.  Doesn’t matter who is taking the snaps - Hawaii will throw, throw and throw some more. 

Bottom Line: Matthews will get his yards and a few scores.  Whether it is Rausch or Moniz, Hawaii won’t be quite as prolific throwing it, but 300 yds and 3 TD’s sounds about right.
