Fantasy College Football: Update - Week 6
[Thursday] You've all heard the phrase "a tale of two halves". Well, the torrential downpour in Columbia last night was a tale of one quarter. Nebraska looked completely lost in the first half, struggling to move the ball through five inches of rain. After Missouri tacked on a field goal in the third quarter, things looked pretty grim on the Husker sideline, trailing 12-0. But 27 unanswered points later, the Nebraska defense pitched a shutout in the final quarter, capping an improbable comeback in enemy territory. It was painfully obvious that Big XII conference play is a different animal, as Blaine Gabbert (134yds, 2int, 9car, 2yds, 1td, 1fum) looked rattled after noticeably limping late in the first half. His two costly interceptions fueled the furious Husker comeback, and he was rarely on the same page as his receivers. Speaking of Nebraska's defense, they were impressive for most of the game, but absolutely dominant late. All-American Ndamukong Suh (6tackles, 1sack, 1int, 1pbu) wrecked havoc all game long. And on the offensive side of the ball, newly acquired Niles Paul (6rec, 102yds, 2td) was Nebraska's go-to-guy down the stretch. [Saturday] There was no defense whatsoever for the early morning kickoff in Lawrence. 
Both defenses were shredded, as Kansas narrowly edged Iowa St for the second straight year, this time 41-36. Todd Reesing (442yds, 4td, 1int, 5car, 12yds, 1td) threw for a career high in yardage, while Kerry Meier (16rec, 142yds, 2td) broke his own Kansas record for receptions in a game. Fellow wideout Dezmon Briscoe (12rec, 186yds, 2td) showed his big play ability, grabbing two touchdowns (23, 46) of his own. But not to be outdone, Austen Arnaud (293yds, 2td, 14car, 67yds, 1td, 2pt conv) completely baffled the Jayhawks for the second straight year. Though a misfire on his last attempt cost the Cyclones a touchdown, and likely an upset win. Alexander Robinson (27car, 152yds, 2td, 2rec, 52yds) bounced back from last week's injury in a big way. Oklahoma St avoided an upset of their own, defeating Texas A&M 36-31 in a Big XII south shootout. Zac Robinson (279yds, 2td, 1int, 10car, 8yds, 1td) played it relatively close to the vest without his number one target, Dez Bryant (suspension). Despite two goal line touchdowns getting vultured away, Whoooaaa Nelly's Keith Toston (26car, 130yds, 2rec, 74yds, 2pt conv) carried the load while filling in for injured starter Kendall Hunter (ankle). Sam Bradford returned to action this week, and the Sooners blew by Baylor 33-7. Chris Brown (26car, 95yds, 2td, 2rec, 8yds) benefited from Oklahoma's heavy commitment to the running game. Jimmy Stevens (3-3XP, 4-4FG) took advantage of the Sooners offense sputtering in the redzone, connecting on field goals from 21, 24, 25 and 35 yards. Has Mike Leach called off the dogs yet? Texas Tech led Kansas St 38-0 at halftime, and never took their foot off the gas pedal. The Red Raiders cruised to a 66-14 rout of the Wildcats. Filling in for injured starter Taylor Potts (concussion), Steven Sheffield (490yds, 7td, 1int, 3car, 19yds) posted the high score for the week, naturally. In the Week 6 finale, Texas once again slept through a first half (trailing 10-14), before putting Colorado in their place: Horns 38, Buffs 14. Jordan Shipley (11rec, 147yds, 1td) was the game's only receiver with more than 40 yards. Roddrick Muckelroy (11tackles, 1sack, 2pbu) spearheaded a Texas defense that scored two touchdowns (blocked punt, interception) while only yielding 127 total yards.
