Northwestern looks to stop a 12-game losing streak and give interim coach David Braun his first win. Braun took over after Northwestern fired longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald in July amid a hazing and abuse scandal. The Wildcats opened with a 24-7 loss at Rutgers, their 18th in 19 games. UTEP finds itself in a rare spot as the favorite to beat a Power Five team — something the Miners haven’t done since beating Mississippi in the 1967 Sun Bowl. UTEP has played in seven bowl games since then and lost each one.KEY MATCHUPNorthwestern’s defensive line against UTEP’s run game. The Miners lead the nation in rushing at 485 yards per game behind an offensive line that averages 6-foot-4 and more than 307 pounds. PLAYERS TO WATCHUTEP: RB Deion Hankins ran for a career-high 174 yards last week, giving him 228 on the se...

The Horned Frogs haven’t lost to a non-FBS team since an overtime loss to Northwestern State in 2001, which was then-coach Gary Patterson’s first home game. Nicholls is another FCS team from Louisiana, and is coming off a 38-24 home loss to Sacramento State last week. The Frogs have lost three of their last four games since an undefeated regular season last year in coach Sonny Dykes’ debut. They lost the Big 12 title game, the national championship game and then last week’s opener, 45-42, as Colorado had 565 total yards in its first game under Deion Sanders. KEY MATCHUPAfter so many missed tackles and opportunities for TCU’s defense in the opener, the Frogs just need to tackle and make stops. They have to deal with Nicholls running back Collin Guggenheim, who had five consecutive ...

The Mountaineers are coming off a blowout loss at No. 7 Penn State and have other challenges this month at home against archrival Pittsburgh and Texas Tech and on the road against TCU. It’s too soon to think about the big picture but West Virginia must put together some strong showings to avoid a third straight losing season and perhaps save coach Neal Brown’s job.KEY MATCHUPWest Virginia’s defense against Duquesne’s ground game. Duquesne amassed 234 rushing yards in an opening 49-7 win over Division II Edinboro.

The Demon Deacons have started at least 3-0 for two straight seasons, while the Commodores have a chance to start 3-0 for the first time since 2017.KEY MATCHUPWake Forest QB Mitch Griffis against Vanderbilt’s defensive front. Griffis is set to make his third career start but took at least two sacks in the opener against Elon in which he held the ball too long. That was an immediate area of concern for coach Dave Clawson after the game. Griffis will have to get the ball out of his hand quicker going forward, while the Commodores come into this game having five sacks in the first two games. Vanderbilt has two key defensive injuries with S De’Rickey Wri...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:16:22 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State coach Dave Doeren doesn’t need to do much research on No. 10 Notre Dame’s new quarterback. He has seen him plenty.The Wolfpack’s home game Saturday against the Fighting Irish represents another matchup with quarterback Sam Hartman, an every-year opponent at Wake Forest in the same Atlantic Coast Conference division before his transfer this past offseason.“Wake’s system was completely different,” Doeren said. “But we do know from experience what kind of player he is, and there’s a great amount of respect from our staff towards that young man. We do know what we’ve done well and what we haven’t done well over the years against him. And so there is some good knowledge in that.”As well as success.Hartman lost both of his starts in Raleigh, first in 2020 and then last November. He threw three touchdown passes with three interceptions in those two games combined, while the Wolfpack’s defensive front has gotten to him for 10...
