Our weekly digest of everything fantasy college football. Facts don't lie and The Drill is full of 'em. Projections for the weekend of Sept. 20-Sept. 24. Stats through Sept. 19:


Troy, QB
Comment: Haugabook threw 371 yards on 33-of-48 passing with a touchdown and an interception in a win against Oklahoma State. He also scored two touchdowns on 13 rushes for 49 yards.

Central Florida, RB
Comment: In a 35-32 loss to the Texas Longhorns, Smith scored two touchdowns and gathered 149 yards on 27 carries.

Kansas State, WR
Comment: Nelson caught a crazy 15 passes for 209 yards against Missouri State last week.

BYU, TE
Comment: The sophomore averaged 18.8 yards on six catches in a 55-47 loss at Tulsa. Do the math and that's 113 yards and a touchdown.

Florida State, K
Comment: Without his 3-for-3 field goal performance, the Seminoles would have won a little less comfortably, as if 16-7 was comfortable.

Defense
Comment: Middle Tennessee was held scoreless nine days after putting up 42 at Louisville.


Pittsburgh, QB
Comment: Smith threw just 18 passes and completed only half of them for 85 yards last week. He averaged 4.7 yards per completion, putting him right there in Chris Weinke NFL territory.

Western Carolina, RB
Comment: Malone had the only touchdown in a 45-16 loss at Georgia. He scored it, however, with nine yards on 13 carries.

Iowa, WR
Comment: DJK had the most yards of any Hawkeye receiver in a 15-13 loss to rival Iowa State. His whopping total: 30 yards on two catches. Good average though.

Arizona, TE
Comment: Has nearly as many letters in his last name as he did catches against New Mexico (2).

Miami (OH), K
Comment: Cook didn't get many chances in a 47-10 loss to Cincinnati. He had a 27-yarder and a PAT.

Defense
Comment:Giving up 42 points to Florida Atlantic; not a HOT week.


Oklahoma, QB
Comment: So far so good. No reason he shouldn't continue his 274 yards per game effort against Tulsa.

Indiana, QB
Comment: In a 41-24 win against Akron, Lewis accounted for five touchdowns, two rushing, on 199 yards and 18 rushes. He completed 19-of-24 passes for 137 yards.

Louisville, RB
Comment: Syracuse has given up 35 points or more in an 0-3 start. Anthony Allen had 96 yards and two touchdowns last week in the loss to Kentucky. Oh, and the Orangemen are giving up 266 rushing yards per game.

Nebraska, RB
Comment: Too good of a ratio to turn down. Ball State is allowing nearly 270 rushing yards per game and Marlon Lucky is averaging nearly 120. Plus, Nebraska is unhappy about losing to USC last week and Ball State is the unfortunate rebound.

South Florida, WR
Comment: Hester had six catches for 64 yards in a win against Auburn two weeks ago and should have a repeat, if not double, against 1-2 North Carolina.

Minnesota, WR
Comment: His Golden Gophers lost but Wheelwright scored two touchdowns on five catches for 43 yards.

Cincinnati TE
Comment: After a six-catch, 109-yard performance against Miami (OH), why wouldn't you start this guy?

Penn State, TE
Comment: He finished with only 21 yards, but had two touchdowns. Would it even matter if he had only five yards? As long as he's finding the end zone twice it's ok.

Georgia Tech, K
Comment: If running back Tashard Choice isn't able to go, the Jackets may have to kick more than they want.

Notre Dame, K
Comment: If the offense isn't going to score touchdowns, fine. Let the kicker score you some points.

Defense
Comment: Finally back in paradise, the Warriors shouldn't give up too many points against Charleston Southern.

Defense
Comment: The Ducks should be able to hold the Trees in check. Michigan scored only seven on them and Stanford scored only 17 on UCLA.


Northwestern, QB
Comment: If Northwestern managed only 14 against Duke, what do you recommend doing with its quarterback against an quickly improving Ohio State defense? Sit em'!

Wake Forest, QB
Comment: Maryland is allowing less than 120 passing yards per game. Enough said.

Mississippi State, RB
Comment: Passed the 100-yard mark in a win against Auburn, but with the emergence of Christian Ducre, a backfield by committee may be in effect.

Arizona, RB
Comment: Cal is giving up only 129.7 rushing yards per game so don't expect big things from the senior.

Rice, WR
Comment: No matter how excited you are about Chase Clement, Texas isn't the right opponent for you to gamble on with one of his receivers.

Wisconsin, WR
Comment: Swan is going up against a Hawkeye defense allowing 150 yards per outing.

South Carolina, TE
Comment: Boyd has been non-existent in South Carolina's offensive schemes. And with a strong LSU squad coming to town, South Carolina will be hard pressed to score.

Clemson, TE
Comment: One catch for 12 yards isn't getting you anywhere. Sorry Mike.

Penn State, K
Comment: Kelly has just three field goals through the first three weeks of the season. Facing Michigan in a televised game, Penn State will find the end zone just enough to eke out a win.

Alabama, K
Comment: The Georgia Bulldogs tough defense will keep the offense at bay and make scoring opportunities few and far between.

Defense
Comment: South Carolina faces a tough LSU team that is averaging 45.5 points a game. And the Gamecocks offense can hardly be described as prolific.

Defense
Comment: Georgia Tech is bouncing back from a tough loss against Boston College and will be looking to make Virginia pay. This is a team that put up 69 points in a win over Sanford just two weeks ago.


Speck is UPDATE! College Football Editor.

257 Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson has thrown 257 passes without an interception. Already an SEC record, he's 14 away from the NCAA mark set by Trent Dilfer.

9 Penn State has lost nine straight games against Michigan. The Wolverines lead the all-time series 9-3, with Penn State's last win coming nearly 11 years ago.

8 Games won by Washington State in its all-time series with Southern Cal, out of 66 tries.

2.1 Army is averaging on the ground. They face Boston College Saturday.


North Carolina, QB
Comment: Football is usually just a way to pass time until basketball season for Heel fans, but freshman Yates may be guiding a bright future. In a 22-20 loss against Virginia, he went 25-for-38 with 339 yards and two touchdowns and a pick. He's averaging 300.9 yards per game through three.


vs. Syracuse
Comment: Good thing the Cardinals can put up a lot of points because the defense hasn't been able to stop anybody. They've allowed 82 points against Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Syracuse, on the opposite end, can't score, losing by a combined 118-32. If Louisville can't stop them, they can kiss the Top 25 goodbye.

vs. USC defense
Comment: Steve Spurrier is making a name for the other USC. His South Carolina Gamecocks are allowing only 9.7 points per game for the nation's eighth best defense. LSU is giving up 2.3, the country's best.


vs East Carolina rush defense
Comment: The Pirates are allowing only 86 yards rushing per game, while the West Virginia running back is averaging 130. Something has got to give.


Florida, WR
Comment: Doubtful for game at Ole Miss Saturday with a sprained right MCL.

Michigan, QB
Comment: Henne is working hard to get back for Penn State, in hopes to revive a sense of pride to the Wolverines. Officially, he is day-to-day.

California, WR
Comment: A sprained thumb has him on the practice field less this week, but still listed as questionable.

Arkansas, WR
Comment: The loss to Alabama might have been different with just one more Razorback playmaker. Monk, though, is still a week or two from returning from knee surgery.

Colorado State, TE
Comment: Sperry started off great, but is now out for the year with a torn ACL.



Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET
The Southeastern Conference has again provided us with great Top 25 matchups, two of them. Georgia and Alabama will put on a show, but with all the talk from South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier this week, his newly prominent Gamecocks will have to back it up against national title favorites LSU. Besides the fact that the game is in the pits of Baton Rouge, it will be fun to see if Spurrier can keep it where he wants it, a field goal game.
