Fantasy College Football: Update - Week 4

[Friday] The Missouri Tigers swept their home-and-home series with the Nevada, defeating the Wolfpack 31-21 on Friday night. Blaine Gabbert (414yds, 3td) was under duress, but managed to make big plays for the maturing Tiger offense. His favorite target, Danario Alexander (9rec, 170yds, 2td) hauled in a game breaking, 74-yard touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter. [Saturday] It was another early kickoff in Lawrence, Kansas. The Jayhawks found themselves tied with a pesky Southern Miss team after three quarters, but managed to hold on for the 35-28 win. Todd Reesing (331yds, 3td, 1int) had an unusual performance, as he was sacked five times, flagged for intentional grounding twice, as well tagged with an unsportsmanlike penalty. Despite the shakiness from "Sparky", "Ole Reliable" Kerry Meier (10rec, 141yds, 2td) was clutch, scoring the first and last touchdowns for the Jayhawks. Kansas St opted out of their rematch with Fresno St, replacing the Bulldogs with Ohio Valley foe Tennessee Tech. As expected, the Wildcats crushed their cupcake 49-7. Brandon Banks (3rec, 90yds, 1car, 1yd) returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Once again, running back Daniel Thomas (26car, 139yds, 2td) was the main offensive weapon for the Wildcats. Colt McCoy (286yds, 3td, 1int, 4car, 15yds) bounced back from last week's flu in a big way, as the Longhorns coasted to a 64-7 win in their return game with the UTEP Miners. In Ames, the Iowa St offense found its stride against the Army Black Knights. Fueling the Cyclone surge was Alexander Robinson (21car, 127yds, 1td, 3rec, 51yds, 2td) who caught both of Austin Arnaud's touchdown passes. Robinson, who led the league in scoring this week, has been a pleasant surprise for I'm a man - I'm forty thus far. Oklahoma St needed to rest some of their hobbled stars (Kendall Hunter, Dez Bryant). But there was never any doubt about this one, as Cowboy offense rolled all over Grambling St, 56-6. Backup running back Keith Toston (7car, 84yds, 3td, 1rec, 9yds) made the most of his opportunities, scoring three times on 8 touches. Baylor's offense was an unstoppable force against Northwestern St, ending in a 68-13 rout. Dual threat wide receiver Kendall Wright (5rec, 102yds, 2td, 4car, 44yds) continues to make plays through the air and on the ground. This marked the third straight week the Big XII recorded a shutout, as Nebraska blanked UL-Lafayette 55-0. Roy Helu Jr (15car, 83yds, 2td, 2rec, 11yds) keyed the Huskers' attack. But this was a day of defense in Lincoln: Ndamukong Suh (6tackles, 1pass breakup) was unblockable in the trenches. And Larry Asante (2tackles, 1int) recorded the league's first pick-6, taking a 74-yard interception to the house. The Big XII's marquee game ended up being their only loss. Houston proved their upset victory against Oklahoma St was no fluke, notching a last minute 29-28 comeback win over Texas Tech. Taylor Potts (321yds, 1td) was rarely on the same page as his receivers. He lost a fumble and looked uncomfortable in the pocket for the second straight week.
