Fantasy College Football: Update - Week 3

[Saturday] After getting punched in the mouth early, Todd Reesing (338yds, 3td, 8car, 51yds) led the Kansas Jayhawks to a 44-16 win over the Duke Blue Devils. Despite some inexplicable drops from his usually sure handed receivers, Reesing said he "felt a lot sharper in the passing game." The Jayhawks' rivals to the East, the Missouri Tigers, scored at will against Furman. Blaine Gabbert (256yds, 3td, 2car, 44yds, 1td) is heating up the quarterback controversy for Whoooaaa Nelly. Wideouts Jared Perry (7rec, 161yds, 2td) and Danario Alexander (3rec, 46yds, 2td, 1td pass) are becoming one of the Big XII's best receiver combos in the conference. In the game of the week, Nebraska suffered another heartbreaking loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies 15-16. Roy Helu Jr (28car, 169yds, 4rec, 33yds) racked up the yardage, but couldn't find paydirt, and the Husker offense could only manage five Alex Henery field goals. What a display from the Sooners over the past two weeks. Ryan Reynolds (13tackles, 2sacks) posted the high score for Week 3. Fellow linebacker Travis Lewis (7tackles, 1sack, 1breakup) had the Sooners dominating at the line of scrimmage. On the offensive side of the ball, Ryan Broyles (11rec, 128yds, 3td) has caught six touchdown grabs in his last two games. The human highlight, DeMarco Murray (10car, 60yds, 2rec, 38yds, 1td) didn't see the field much. But he showed flashes of both Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush on this swing pass. Much to my surprise, Colorado finally found an opponent they could beat, blanking Wyoming 24-0. Rodney Stewart (32car, 127yds, 2td, 1rec, 5yds) appears to be on his way to earning the feature back role in Boulder. The Baylor Bears suffered a disappointing home loss to the Connecticut Huskies. Jay Finley (8car, 121yds, 1td, 1rec, 6yds) made the most of his inexplicably low number of touches. And you certainly couldn't fault the effort of Joe Pawelek (21tackles, 1sack) who made nearly every stop on defense. Iowa St recorded their first road win in four years, defeating Kent St 34-14. Alexander Robinson (23car, 143yds, 1td) complemented the Cyclone passing attack, and continues to receive the bulk of the carries. The Oklahoma St offense returned to form, after last week's debacle against Houston. Zac Robinson (227yds, 2td, 5car, 19yds, 1td) and Dez Bryant (9rec, 161yds, 2td) looked like everyone expected them to before the season. Texas A&M overcame injuries to Jeff Fuller (broken fibula) and Christine Michael (strained calf) to defeat Utah St 38-30 in the "battle of the Aggies". The opening act of the Big XII season pitted the Red Raiders against the Longhorns. Jordan Shipley (11rec, 73yds) returned a punt for a touchdown and was a reliable target all night. In his first road game as a starter, Taylor Potts (420yds, 3tds, 1int) lost a fumble and had happy feet all night. In the final game of Week 3, once again Kansas St's only offensive was Daniel Thomas (15car, 54yds, 1td, 4rec, 61yds) and the Wildcats were simply outmatched against a shorthanded UCLA team.
