Fantasy College Football: Update - Week 2
[Friday] It was a quick 5-day turnaround for the Colorado Buffaloes... and it showed. The Toledo Rockets shredded the Buffalo defense all night long. It was a humiliating 38-54 defeat for Colorado, as they drop to 0-2 on the year. On the bright side, Darrell Scott (12car, 85yds) showed some flashes of potential, before exclusively fielding kickoff returns in the second half. If Colorado continues to fall behind in embarassing fashion, none of the Buffalo running backs will see any significant amount of touches. Jeff Smart led the team with 12 tackles (5 solo), but the Colorado matador defense surrendered 624 yards of total offense to the Rockets. [Saturday] This year's Cy-Hawk rivalry game wasn't even close, as Iowa cruised to a 35-3 win over Iowa St. Kansas St also dropped a winnable game at Louisiana-Lafayette 15-17. The lone bright spot in this game was The Real McCoy's Daniel Thomas (27car, 136yds, 1td) who threw for a touchdown as well. After losing Sam Bradford last week, I'm a man - I'm forty needed newly acquired Zac Lee to step up. He delivered the goods, throwing for 340 yards and 4 touchdowns, as Nebraska rolled past Arkansas St, 38-9. Just after receiving their shiny top-five ranking from the previous week, Oklahoma St looked shell-shocked, as the Cowboys were upset at home 35-45 by the Houston Cougars. Kendall Hunter (9car, 29yds, 1td, 1rec, 6yds) did not play in the second half due to an injury to his lower right leg. He emerged from the locker room wearing a boot, so this is something to keep an eye in the coming weeks. It took the Longhorns a little while to get going, but they cruised to a 41-10 victory over Wyoming. Colt McCoy (337 yds, 3td, 9car, 44yds, 1td) provided a much-needed spark for the Longhorns. The Oklahoma Sooners pitched the first shutout of the year, blanking Idaho St 64-0. Without their Heisman trophy winner under center, the Sooners leaned heavily on their playmakers, DeMarco Murray (12car, 101yds, 2td) and Ryan Broyles (7rec, 155yds, 3td). Missouri used a 14-0 fourth quarter to put away a pesky Bowling Green team, holding on for a 27-20 victory. The Tigers caught some tough breaks early, which kept the game close.
But Derrick Washington (23car, 120yds, 1td) was a calming presence for the Tiger offense. The Texas Tech offense looked like a video game once again, and Any Given Saturday was loving every minute of it. Taylor Potts (456yds, 7td) hooked up with teammate Lyle Leong (9rec, 117yds, 3td) early and often, as the Red Raiders cruised past Rice 55-10. The last game of Week 2 was billed as a shootout. Jake Sharp (16car, 104yds, 2td, 6rec, 29yds, 1td) was the focal point of the Jayhawk offense. Despite not grabbing a touchdown, Dezmon Briscoe (8rec, 154yds) looks to be back to his old self. The Jayhawk defensive line surprisingly managed to put consistent pressure on UTEP. And the Miners didn't do themselves any favors, getting flagged 13 times for 137 yards, before losing 7-34 to the Jayhawks. Continue reading for the current scoreboard:
