Our weekly digest of everything fantasy college football. Facts don't lie and The Drill is full of 'em. Projections for the weekend of Oct. 12-Oct. 14. Stats through Oct. 10:


Memphis, QB
Comment: In a rare bright spot for the Tigers, Hudgens threw for 346 yards on 30-of-45 attempts with two touchdowns in a 24-21 win against Marshall.

Southern Miss, RB
Comment: Fletcher rushed 23 times for 142 yards in a tough loss 31-29 against Rice. He scored two touchdowns.

Kentucky, WR
Comment: The Wildcats lost but Burton's had a game-high seven catches for 76 yards.

Louisville, TE
Comment: Huge day in another disappointing loss for his team — eight catches, 93 yards and a score.

West Virginia, K
Comment: Six extra points and two field goals, including a 49-yarder. Not a bad day in a 55-14 win over Syracuse.

Defense
Comment: Where were they early on? The newly ranked Tigers held a solid Vandy team to a touchdown and 221 total yards.
Louisiana Tech, QB
Comment: Coach Derek Dooley wasn't upset about the 151 yards his team had passing. He was upset about it coming on 31 attempts.

UAB, RB
Comment: Rushed 12 times for 43 yards with a long of eight.

Alabama, WR
Comment: The Tide's regular go-to guy had only 19 yards on three catches.

North Carolina, TE
Comment: One catch for 12 yards — at least he had a good average.

Purdue, K
Comment: Without a late touchdown, he would have left with zero points instead of one.

Defense
Comment: Does it really matter how much you scores when you keep giving up 37 points?


South Florida, QB
Comment: He's good for a couple hundred yards and two scores.

Rutgers, QB
Comment: Should follow up a bad game with a good one. Won't be a problem against Syracuse.

Rutgers, RB
Comment: Sure, start both of them. The Knights tend to get 300 yards in the air and 200 on the ground, plenty of sharing for Teel and Rice.

Michigan, RB
Comment: Start arguably the best player in college football against a Purdue team allowing 250 on the ground.

Ohio State, WR
Comment: 70 yards and a score against Purdue and he sees Kent State this week.

Illinois, WR
Comment: Benn had five catches at 10 yards per game and the freshman will continue to produce and find more and more end zones with all the focus on Rashard Mendenhall.

Wisconsin, TE
Comment: This guy never stops, leading Saturday's loss to Illinois with 11 catches for 160 yards.

Kansas, TE
Comment: Four catches and 38 yards — not a bad day last week. Expect more against Baylor, possibly from a short game against a good Baylor pass defense.

Tennessee, K
Comment: The Vols chewed Georgia up, think they won't do more at Mississippi State. Lincoln will get his chances.

Texas Tech, K
Comment: His only concern is getting too tired in an explosive offense.

Defense
Comment: North Carolina's run stops here. The ole ball coach doesn't want them to score.

Defense
Comment: Sorry Golic, the Eagles may keep the Domers out of the end zone.


USC, QB
Comment: With Booty hurt, and the Trojans facing a good Arizona team after a rare loss, don't risk it.

Notre Dame, QB
Comment: Clausen and the Irish may be setting up a lot of hype for just another loss and not a big day for Jimmy.

Wisconsin, RB
Comment: Penn State is allowing 80 yards per game on the ground. Give Hill a rest just this once.

Kentucky, RB
Comment: The Wildcats will need a lot of air in this one. Sit the runner.

Washington State, WR
Comment: Oregon is too good against the pass to risk starting Brink's man.

Utah, WR
Comment: Godfrey had a touchdown on six catches in the win over Louisville, but don't expect it two weeks in a row.

Iowa State, WR
Comment: Big game last week in big loss to Texas Tech, but the Cyclones aren't good enough to use their guys each week.

Duke, TE
Comment: Two receptions for nine yards against Wake doesn't bode well against Virginia Tech.

Minnesota, TE
Comment: No catches against Indiana. Just not a good idea to start a Gopher in a rough year.

Central Florida, K
Comment: Potential upset could rely on his leg, but it may be close and low scoring until then.

Purdue, K
Comment: After seven points last week for his team, don't count on 28 this week.

Defense
Comment: If you saw what the Heels did to them, you won't start them against the Yellow Jackets.

Defense
Comment: The way Ole Miss has improved, the Tide could get torched deep a few times.


Speck is UPDATE! College Football Editor.

1956 Texas is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since then.

108 Ole Miss had the 108th-ranked overall defense last week when they shut out Louisiana Tech, the first shutout of three-year coach Ed Orgeron's career.

18 It had been 18 years since Kansas won the Little Apple against state rival Kansas State.

11 South Florida has made it to the No. 5 spot in the AP Top 25 in just its 11th year in existence.


Georgia, RB
Comment: The New Jersey native is averaging 73 yards a game in a crowded Bulldog offense but is quickly becoming heralded as the next big time Georgia back.



vs. Iowa defense
Comment: The Hawkeyes are giving up 113 yards per game on the ground and Mendenhall is averaging over 128.

vs. history
Comment: Against Alabama, Ole Miss has won 9-of-55 meetings and one of those was a 1993 forfeit.

vs Texas A&M secondary
Comment: The Aggies have allowed 16 touchdowns all season. Harrell has hurled 28 of his own.


Hawaii, QB
Comment: Hurt his ankle on a hard hit last week, but is probable for tonight.

LSU, WR
Comment: Has a strained groin that isn't expected to bench him but may limit him.

Boston College, LB
Comment: Leg injury has his questionable for Saturday against the Irish.

Arkansas, RB
Comment: Probable, but sore ribs could hurt his progress.

Illinois, RB
Comment: Has a hurt knee, but looks good to go.



Saturday 6:30 p.m. ET
The Tigers shrugged off a lot of doubters by beating Nebraska. Now they have to try it again against the Sooners. In a game more about Mizzou than Oklahoma (outside of Norman at least), the Tigers own their highest ranking since 1981. Oklahoma can't afford to lose another one so this one should be a slobber-knocker.
