Tough news for Northwestern. Breakout TE Luke Dehnicke has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday against Penn State. He had seven catches for 140 yards against Indiana.

Texas A&M WR Mario Craver is questionable to be available against Arkansas, per the initial availability report that just came out.

Craver suffered an apparent left ankle injury vs. LSU before going to the locker room but went back into the game.

Sources: Tulsa quarterback Baylor Hayes (knee) will start on Thursday night at home against North Texas. He missed Tulsa's past two games, including the loss at Arkansas this weekend. Hayes completed nearly 71-percent of his passes in Tulsa's upset of Oklahoma State.
