Fantasy College Football: Update - Week 8

[Saturday] Oklahoma St remained unbeaten (3-0) in conference play, as they ran past Baylor 34-7. Once again, Keith Toston (15car, 109yds, 1td, 4rec, 31yds) filled in nicely for Kendall Hunter, posting his third straight game with 140+ total yards. The unthinkable happened for Nebraska, as the 18-1/2 point underdog Cyclones defeated the Cornhuskers 9-7, their first victory in Lincoln since 1977. Jesse Smith (12tackles, 1int, 1pbu) sealed the victory by picking off a pass in the final minutes. And defensive counterpart Ndamukong Suh (8tackles, 1sack, 2pbu) practically lived in the Iowa St backfield. Nebraska definitely didn't do themselves any favors, committing 8 turnovers (3int, 5fum) on the day. Kansas St moved to 3-1 in conference play and currently leads the Big XII north, after defeating Colorado 20-6. Daniel Thomas (20car, 145yds, 1td, 2rec, 18yds) ran for a career high in yardage. Rodney Stewart (16car, 49yds, 1td, 1rec, 17yds) posted his fewest number of touches all season. The shorthanded Oklahoma Sooners blew by the Kansas Jayhawks 35-13. Chris Brown (22car, 66yds, 2td, 1rec, 8yds, 1td) found the end zone three times, while DeMarco Murray (ankle) did not see the field. Todd Reesing (224yds, 3int, 8car, 17yds, 1td) threw three picks in the first half, and did not throw a touchdown for the first time in nearly two years. Everyone saw this coming, right? Texas A&M, fresh off one of their worst beatings in recent memory, strolls into Lubbock and hangs more than half-a-hundred on Texas Tech. With the quarterback situation in question, Baron Batch (11car, 58yds, 1td, 9rec, 62yds) was the focal point of the Red Raider offense. The high score for Week 8 belonged to Cyrus Gray (25car, 132yds, 3td, 4rec, 41yds, 1td), who broke 100-yards rushing for the first time all season. And this week's feature game, Texas vs. Missouri, wasn't much of a game at all. The Longhorns finally played a complete game, and showed how high the ceiling truly is for this squad. Missouri (and anyone else for that matter) wouldn't have stood a chance: Texas 41, Missouri 7. Colt McCoy (269yds, 3td, 1int, 11car, 13yds) broke out of his recent slump, finding his favorite target Jordan Shipley (7rec, 108yds, 2td) early and often. Roddrick Muckelroy (5tackles) and the Longhorn defense made life miserable for the Tigers, picking off two passes and blocking a punt for a touchdown, while only allowing 173 total yards.
