1. Nebraska overwhelmed Washington with a 534-246 yd edge in their 56-21 win. Husker QB Martinez was the story as he ran for 137 yds (7.2) and three TD’s including the longest TD run by a freshman in Nebraska history (80 yds) and threw for another 150 yards (63.6%) and a score.
2. Boise St-The Broncos need to impress the voters each and every week if they want to remain in the top 3. Yesterday they did just that with a dominating 50-6 win at Wyoming as they had an incredible 647-136 yd edge. Boise held Wyoming to -22 yds rushing and welcome a visit from ESPN College Gameday this week as they host Oregon St.
3. Alabama-The Tide welcomed the return of Heisman winner Mark Ingram and he was impressive with 152 yds on just 9 carries (16.9) and 2 TD's as they crushed Duke 62-13. Bama was incredibly balanced on offense with 315 yds rushing and 312 yds passing.
4. Oregon-The Ducks have already had 3 great performances on the season and yesterday they crushed FCS Portland St 69-0. Oregon's avg MOV this year is 63-4 and yesterday they outgained their opponent by 524 yds.
5. TCU-The Horned Frog defense was one of my defenses of the week and they came thru for me by holding down Baylor QB Griffin and the Bears to just 10 pts and 263 yds. TCU QB Dalton was pin-point accurate as he completed his first 11 passes and finished 21-for-23 for 267 yards and two TD’s. His 91.3 completion percentage tied Sam Bradford and Jared Zambransky for the highest by an FBS passer in a single game (min. 20 attempts) since 2004.
6. Stanford-The Cardinal have been very impressive so far this season and last night was no different as they crushed Wake Forest 68-24 as they rolled up 535 total yds. They will put their high ranking to test this week as they travel to Notre Dame who is in must-win mode after dropping two straight to Michigan and Michigan St.
7. Oklahoma St-So far HC Mike Gundy's move to bring in former Houston OC Dana Holgorsen looks bold as the Cowboys offense continues to roll with an outstanding 722 yds of offense in the 65-28 win over Tulsa.
8. Ohio St-The Buckeyes jumped out early over Ohio (33-0 in the 2Q) before coasting late in the 43-7 win. Ohio St's defense was another one of my top defenses of the week in my fantasy blog and they came thru holding the Bobcats to just 161 total yds.
9. Air Force-The Falcons off a 35-14 win over BYU last week nearly beat Oklahoma yesterday as the Sooners almost blew a 27-10 lead as they allowed a couple of TD's in the 4Q. Air Force's vaunted option gave the Sooner D all they can handle as they rolled up 343 rush yds and actually outgained Oklahoma 450-387.
10. Texas-The Longhorns got payback for their last visit to Lubbock as they beat Texas Tech 24-14. Their defense was the story as they held the high-powered Red Raider offense to just 176 total yds.
