Week 9 Notes & Observations

Power 5

  • Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen has failed to score a rushing TD in three of his last four games.  QB Garrett Shracder has accounted for only one TD in the past three games.
  • Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten has scored a rushing TD in three straight games.
  • Boston College RB Kye Robichaux has carried the ball 44 times for 277 yards and 4 TDs in the Eagles’ last two games.
  • Oklahoma WR Nic Anderson’s consecutive game scoring streak came to an end at Kansas, as he finished with only one catch for 18 yards.
  • Any Houston player was a bust in Week 9 after their 41-0 defeat at Kansas State.
  • West Virginia QB Garrett Greene has scored at least 2 rushing TDs in three of the last four games.  RB CJ Donaldson has scored a rushing TD in six straight games.
  • UCF RB RJ Harvey has rushed for 100 yards in each of the Knights’ last three games.
  • Clemson RB Will Shipley’s injury on Saturday had the look of one in which he may miss some time.  Still, the way the Tigers’ offense looks, next week’s matchup against Notre Dame is one to avoid.  If Shipley is out for an extended period of time, Phil Mafah could be a nice start in Week 11 against Georgia Tech.
  • NC State WR Kevin Concepcion has caught 2 TD passes in three of the last five games.  
  • Virginia WR Malik Washington has caught 12 passes in back-to-back games and has six 100-yard receiving games this year.
  • In his first career start, Minnesota sophomore Jordan Nubin carried the ball 40 times for 204 yards and 2 TDs in the Gophers’ 27-12 win over Michigan State.
  • Baylor WR Monaray Baldwin has topped the 100-yard mark and caught a TD pass in three of the last four games.
  • Louisville RB Jawhar Jordan ran for 163 yards and 2 TDs in the Cardinals’ 23-0 win over Duke.  The junior back has four multiple-TD games this season.
  • Notre Dame RB Audric Estime has scored 2 or more rushing TDs in three of the last four games.
  • Georgia RB Daijun Edwards has scored eight rushing TDs in six games this year.
  • Florida QB Graham Mertz has thrown at least 2 TD passes in four straight games after totaling just 4 TD passes in the Gators’ first four games of the year.
  • Cal RB Jadyn Ott ran for 153 yards and 3 TDs in the Bears’ 50-49 loss to USC.  Ott had 132 yards and 3 TDs with 12:00 to play in the second quarter and only totaled 21 scrimmage yards from that point on.  I can see QB Fernando Mendoza being a fantasy option in Week 12 when Cal travels to Stanford.
  • Washington WR Ja’Lynn Polk has as many 100-yard receiving games (6) as teammates Rome Odunze (5) and Jalen McMillan (1) combined.
  • Stanford WR Eric Ayomanor has caught at least 8 passes in three consecutive games.
  • After a very underwhelming first four games of the year, Ole Miss RB Quinshon Judkins has rushed for at least 120 yards in three of the last four games.
  • North Carolina RB Omarion Hampton is averaging 154.0 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks.
  • Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon II has ripped off five straight 100-yard rushing games and is averaging 226.8 scrimmage yards per game during that stretch, while totaling 9 TDs.
  • Arizona State RB Cameron Skattebo ran for a season-high 121 yards in Saturday’s win over Washington State, and the junior back has now scored a TD in seven of eight games this year.
  • Oregon State RB is on pace to rush for 1,144 yards in twelve games, but his three rushing scored means he is only on pace to score 4 rushing TDs this year. TE Jack Telling has caught a TD pass in three consecutive games and has totaled 6 TD receptions during that stretch.

 

Group 5

  • It feels as if I am writing about New Mexico State QB Diego Pavia every week, but he has rushed for at least one TD in four straight games, has rushed for at least at least 65 yards in six of his last seven games, and has thrown at least 2 TD passes in seven of nine games this year.
  • Even though Liberty QB Kaidon Salter has rushed for only one TD in the past three games, he has posted back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances.  WR CJ Daniels has caught a TD pass in five of eight games this year.
  • Jacksonville State QB Zion Webb has rushed for at least 100 yards in three of his last four games.
  • Georgia Southern RB Jalen White has carried the ball at least 25 times in each of the last two games, and he has topped the 100-yard mark on each occasion and has totaled 3 TDs during that time.  WR Khaleb Hood has caught at least 7 passes in seven straight games.
  • FAU WR LaJohntay Wester has caught at least 10 passes in five of eight games this year.
  • SMU TE RJ Maryland has caught a TD pass in four straight games.
  • UMass RB Kay’Ron Lynch-Adams posted his fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season on Saturday, rolling up 234 yards in the win over Army.  Lynch-Adams has scored a rushing TD in five of the last six games.
  • Eastern Michigan RB Samson Evans is averaging only 40.1 rushing yards per game in the last five weeks, but he has totaled 7 TDs during that stretch and has scored in every game.
  • North Texas WR Ja’Mori Maclin caught 2 TD passes in Saturday’s loss to Memphis and extended his scoring streak to eight straight games.  QB Chandler Rogers has passed for at least 300 yards in five of his last six games.

  • Appalachian State QB Joey Aguilar has accounted for three or more TDs in three of the Mountaineers’ last four games.
  • UTSA WR Tykee Ogle-Kellogg has caught a TD pass in five of the last six games.  Teammate Joshua Cephus has caught a TD pass in six of eight games this year.
  • Tulane RB Makhi Hughes has rushed for at least 120 yards in four straight games.
  • Arkansas State WR Courtney Jackson has caught a TD pass five of the Red Wolves’ last six games.
  • South Alabama RB La’Damian Webb extended his scoring streak to seven games on Saturday and has 13 rushing TDs in eight games.
  • Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty was injured Saturday night against Wyoming and teammate George Holani made his return.  It’s still too early to know if jeanty will miss any time, but the Broncos have Fresno State, New Mexico, and Utah State over the next three weeks.
  • James Madison WR Elijah Sarratt has caught a TD pass in three of the last four games.
  • New Mexico WR Jeremiah Hixon has caught at least one TD pass in three of the Lobos’ last four games and two have been multiple-TD games.
  • New Mexico State RB JaCory Croskey-Merritt posted his second-lowest single-game rushing total of the season in Saturday’s loss to Nevada (44 yards), but his TD with 2 minutes to play has resulted in him scoring in seven of eight games this year.  WR Jeremiah Hixon has scored at least one TD in three of the last four games.
  • For those of you in deep Full FBS league, converted Nevada WR Jamaal Bell has scored a rushing TD in back-to-back weeks since being moved to running back.  
  • San Jose State RB Kairee Robinson’s 2 TDs against Hawaii pushed his season total to 15, which ties him with Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty for most in the FBS.
