Central Michigan @ Bowling Green, Saturday, 12:00 PM EST

Central Michigan:  Dan LeFevour, Bryan Anderson and Antonio Brown.
Watch for…..WR Antonio Brown.  After a slow start, Brown is heating up.  He has scored 6 td’s the last 4 weeks.  He will get 2 more on Saturday.

Bowling Green:  Tyler Sheehan, Freddie Barnes, Adrian Hodges and Chris Wright.
Watch for….WR Adrian Hodges.  When Tyler isn’t throwing to Freddie he is throwing to Hodges.  Ranks 9th in MAC in receptions per game(5.43).

Bottom Line:  A lot of shootouts don’t ever live up to the hype.  This one will exceed expectations.

Louisiana Tech @ Utah State, Saturday, 3:00 PM EST

Louisiana Tech: Ross Jenkins, Daniel Porter and Phillip Livas.
Watch for…..WR Phillip Livas.  He has been really quiet this year.  If he is going to break out this is the game to do it.

Utah State: Diondre Borel, Robert Turbin and Nnamdi Gwacham.
Watch for….WR Nnamdi Gwacham. Looks like this is the deep threat.  Only 4 rec last week but one went for 77 yds.

Bottom Line:  Here is your under the radar special for the week.  Good playmakers on each side + good quarterbacks = SHOOTOUT!!

Oregon @ Washington, Saturday, 3:30 PM EST

Oregon:  Nate Costa, Jeremiah Masoli, LaMichael James and Ed Dickson.
Watch for…..QB situation.  Whoever the QB may be Saturday should be able to post good numbers.  Washington is ranked 110th in pass defense.

Washington: Jake Locker, Chris Polk, Jermaine Kearse and James Johnson.
Watch for….QB Jake Locker.  As he goes, so goes the Huskies.  Yes, he is inconsistent but he will shine Saturday.

Bottom Line:  This has the makings of a PAC 10 barnburner.  James and Dickson will go over 100 yds.  Locker will accout for 300 total yards and 3 TD’s.

Oklahoma @ Kansas, Saturday, 3:30 PM EST

Oklahoma: Landry Jones, DeMarco Murray, Chris Brown and Ryan Broyles.
Watch for….QB Landry Jones.  The “stache” is going to throw for big numbers.  He has been more than serviceable as Bradford’s back up.

Kansas: Todd Reesing, Toben Opurum, Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier.
Watch for….running game.  Until Coach Mangino decides if he wants Toben or Jake I would avoid this RBBC at all costs.  It is messy.

Bottom Line: OU is going to hang AT LEAST 40 on the Jayhawks Saturday and Reesing will have to throw to keep up.  350 yards and 4 TD’s sounds about right.

Idaho @ Nevada, Saturday, 4:05 PM EST

Idaho:  Nathan Enderle, DeMaundray Woolridge, Princeton McCarty and Max Komar.
Watch for….RB DeMaundray Woolridge.  Ranked 3rd in the nation in rushing TD’s (12).  Chalk him up for 2 more on Saturday.

Nevada:  Colin Kaepernick, Vai Taua, Luke Lippincott and Brandon Wimberly.
Watch for….RB Vai Taua.  With the elbow injury behind him, Vai will be running downhill for the remainder of the year.  Has rushed for more than 100 yards each of the past 2 weeks.

Bottom Line: I think this game will see plenty of O and very little D. This could be Enderle’s coming out party. Nevada pass defense?  116th nationally.
