Kentucky QB Wilson (knee) done for season
Kentucky quarterback Terry Wilson will miss the remainder of the season with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, Wildcats coach Mark Stoops announced Sunday.
Wilson, a junior, suffered the injury during a horse-collar tackle in the second half of Kentucky's 38-17 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday. The injury will require surgery.
"I'm very sorry about Terry's injury," Stoops said in a statement on Sunday. "He has done so much for our program over the last two seasons, both in leadership and his production on the field. As a team captain, he will continue to be an important part of our team and we look forward to him returning to the field when he has recovered."
Eastern Michigan defensive lineman Turan Rush tackled Wilson on a 19-yard run to the EMU 44 late in the third quarter and received a personal foul for it. Kentucky was called for illegal formation on the same play, and the penalties offset.
Wilson was briefly on his knees before laying on the turf to be observed by team medical personnel. His left leg was placed in a brace and he was lifted onto a cart that carried him off for observation.
Wilson has started all 15 games for the Wildcats since joining the program prior to the 2018 season, and Kentucky is 12-3 in that time. He threw for 360 yards and two touchdowns while completing 63 percent of his passes this season and also rushed for a touchdown.
Last year, he threw for 1,889 yards and 11 touchdowns while rushing for 547 yards and four scores.
Junior quarterback Sawyer Smith finished the game for the Wildcats on Saturday. He was 5-of-9 passing for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Smith, a 6-foot-3 Florida native, transferred to Kentucky from Troy in July.
Smith played in all 12 games for Troy last season but started the final seven, throwing for 1,669 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Wisconsin safety Nelson to miss rest of season
11:03 AM ET
Adam RittenbergESPN Senior Writer
Wisconsin safety Scott Nelson will miss the rest of the 2019 season with a leg injury he sustained in the team's season-opening win at USF.
Nelson, who started eight games last season and the USF game, updated his status late Saturday night on Twitter.
The redshirt sophomore had 41 tackles (3.5 for loss), an interception, a forced fumble and seven passes defended in 2018, missing four games with an injury. He had four tackles and a pass breakup in the USF game before suffering the leg injury in the third quarter.
"My plan is to be back on the field and better than ever when we kick off in 2020," Nelson wrote on Twitter.
Eric Burrell started in place of Nelson in Saturday's win over Central Michigan. Wisconsin is off this week before opening Big Ten play by hosting Michigan on Sept. 21.

Michigan expects to have Jon Runyan, Jr. back for Big Ten opener
Updated 2:43 PM; Today 11:00 AM
Mike Mulholland | MLive.com
By Aaron McMann | amcmann@mlive.com
ANN ARBOR — Michigan’s offensive line expects to have its fourth returning starter back in time for Big Ten play.
Left tackle Jon Runyan, Jr., was in uniform and went through pre-game warmups Saturday, but the Michigan coaching staff opted to hold him out of its 24-21 overtime win over Army.
It was the second straight game Runyan has missed, presumably due to injury.
“We think he was (able to play),” Harbaugh said after the game. “Jon was just on the verge of being ready to play. He could have played, and looked good in practice.
“Just felt like we could give him another week to make sure this wasn’t something that was (a) season-ongoing problem."
The game-time decision to hold Runyan out seems to indicate the all-Big Ten tackle in 2018 will be back, healthy and ready to go, for Michigan’s Big Ten opener Sept. 21 at Wisconsin. The 10th-ranked Wolverines do not play this week.
“Can I saw now? Most likely,” Harbaugh said. “We held him out again so we could get it fully healed, and not put him out there mostly healed.”
Instead, redshirt freshman Ryan Hayes, a former tight end, started at left tackle again. Hayes received recognition for his outstanding play in Michigan’s Week 1 win over Middle Tennessee State, earning “offensive player of the game” honors from the team, and is believed to be ahead of schedule in his development.
With Runyan out, Michigan (2-0) has started two redshirt-freshmen tackles so far this season, with Jalen Mayfield the planned, permanent option on the right side. The results in Week 2 were mixed, with Hayes flagged for holding during a second-quarter drive and the Wolverines’ offense struggling to move the football.
Harbaugh said: "From what I saw, Ryan had a good game.”
Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson was sacked four times, two of which resulted in lost fumbles, and the line was flagged four times in the first half, three of them against the more veteran linemen Ben Bredeson and Cesar Ruiz.
Push up front was difficult to come by as well, with Michigan averaging 2.4 yards per carry and totaling just three runs of more than 10 yards. The team’s leading rusher, Zach Charbonnet (33 carries, 100 yards), averaged just three yards per carry.
The offense also finished 1-of-3 on fourth-down conversions, with ball stalled drives coming in the fourth quarter on failed run plays. On the first one, Charbonnet was bottled up in the backfield for a four-yard loss.
“I felt like we could have run the ball on this front,” said Bredeson, team co-captain and starting left guard. “We had some issues at times, but the general feeling among the O-line was that we were able to handle it pretty well and open up a couple of holes.”
With Runyan, the Wolverines’ offensive line showed drastic improvement last season, finishing tied for third in the Big Ten in sacks allowed (23) and fourth in tackles for loss allowed (60). In two games this season, Michigan has allowed six sacks and eight TFLs.

Reports: Texas Tech football loses QB Alan Bowman for 6-8 weeks

- It is being reported that the Texas Tech football program will be without starting QB Alan Bowman for 6-8 weeks after the sophomore suffered a left shoulder injury in Saturday’s loss to Arizona.As if this weekend’s 28-14 loss to Arizona was not bad enough, it now appears that the fallout from that disappointing performance could derail the remainder of the Texas Tech football season. It is being reported that starting QB Alan Bowman will miss up to eight weeks with a left shoulder injury, putting first-year Red Raider head coach Matt Wells in an unenviable position at the game’s most important position.The news was initially reported on Twitter by Preston Johnson, an ESPN sports betting analyst. Since then, 100.7The Score in Lubbock has been confirming the news as well.
Bowman was injured in the second half of Saturday’s game when an Arizona defender hit him and drove him to the turf on a play that has become increasingly likely to be called roughing the passer. Of course, Texas Tech did not receive the benefit of such protection from referee Mike Defee (the most despised Big 12 among folks in West Texas).
Though he went to the locker room for treatment between series, Bowman did not miss any snaps. He finished the game completing 30 of 55 passes for 311 yards with one touchdown and one interception, his second-straight uncharacteristically below average game in a row.
Make no mistake, even prior to the injury Bowman was having one of his worst showings as a Red Raider. His two interceptions in the first half put the brakes on promising drives and on numerous occasions, he missed his receivers so badly that the only people in the stadium with a chance to catch the ball were the cheerleaders on the sidelines.
But regardless, Tech could not afford to lose its starting QB for any length of time this year. That’s because there is no Pat Mahomes or even Steven Sheffield waiting in the wings.

Memphis WR John "Pop" Williams will miss remainder of the season
ByChristian Fowler 20 hours ago
Following a knee injury in Saturday's 42-6 victory over South Alabama, Tigers wide receiver John "Pop" Williams will miss the remainder of the season, according to Memphis coach Mike Norvell.
Although Williams is one of Memphis' receivers heavily involved in the rotation at the slot, his biggest role is on special teams as a punt returner. In three games this season, Williams has five catches for 49 yards, one kick return for 23 yards and seven punt returns for 44 yards.
3COMMENTS
Williams is one of the best punt returners in the country, so special teams coordinator Pete Lembo will have to find some to replace his production.

Troy RB B.J. Smith out for season with knee injury
Today 12:58 PM
Troy running back B.J. Smith is out for the season with a knee injury, Trojans coach Chip Lindsey confirmed on Tuesday.
Smith, the preseason Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, was injured while attempting to catch an incomplete pass during Troy’s 47-42 loss to Southern Miss last Saturday. The senior from Millbrook will take a redshirt season and attempt to come back for a fifth year in 2020
“First and foremost, B.J. is a tremendous young man and a leader of this football team,” Lindsey said. “His presence will certainly be missed on the football field, but I have no doubt that he will continue to lead by example as he does whatever it takes to be back next season.”
Lindsey did not disclose the nature of Smith’s injury, but it has been reported as a torn patellar tendon.
The 5-foot-9, 203-pound Smith rushed for 1,186 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. He ran for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Trojans’ season-opener against Campbell, but was limited to one carry for minus-4 yards and one reception for 10 yards vs. Southern Miss prior to being injured.
Sophomore DK Billingsley, Smith’s back-up, ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns vs. Campbell and added 41 yards and a score vs. Southern Miss. Billingsley was a three-time all-state pick at Scottsboro High School before signing with Troy in 2017 and redshirting that year.
Troy (1-1) plays at Akron (0-3) on Saturday.

Collin Hill’s status still unknown as Nate Craig-Myers becomes eligible for CSU
Redshirt junior QB has MRI pushed back
Uncertainty surrounds Colorado State’s starting quarterback scenario while the Rams gear up for the fourth week of the regular season.
Head coach Mike Bobo wasn’t able to provide any significant details regarding Collin Hill’s well-being at his weekly press conference after doctors postponed the redshirt junior’s MRI to Monday afternoon.
Hill endured a devastating blow to his left knee during the third quarter against Arkansas last Saturday before quickly pulling himself from the contest a few plays later. The obvious fear and primary development the Rams aim to avoid concerns the quarterback tearing his ACL for the third time in his collegiate career.
“The (Arkansas defender) was running in there as fast as he could, and I thought he got tripped,” Bobo said. “He is trying to get to the quarterback and make a play. It’s unfortunate, hit him right in his left knee. That is a very, very unfortunate thing to happen.”
Considering Hill’s MRI was to take place at 12:30 p.m. Monday, CSU is likely aware of the injury’s severity and where Hill stands moving forward. However, the Rams won’t officially address the circumstance until Tuesday at the earliest.
Regardless of the results, Bobo has already ruled the fourth-year junior out of CSU’s upcoming home game versus Toledo. Nebraska transfer Patrick O’Brien, who entered for Hill last week, and redshirt sophomore Justice McCoy will battle throughout practice this week to seize the starting role.
Though Bobo couldn’t enlighten the media on Hill’s odds of suiting up again in 2019, he mentioned how CSU’s leader is keeping his head up amid the emotionally difficult time.
“Sunday morning I wake up, and we go to church and the first person I see there is Collin Hill,” Bobo said. “He’s at church and going about his business and came over and saw us yesterday in the office while we were working…I wouldn’t say he’s all sunshine and rainbows. But I think he’s in a good place because of who he is and what he’s about. Obviously disappointed for him. Not this football team, we are going to respond. But for him personally with everything he has gone through. If anyone can come back from a severe injury, it would be him.”
In other injury news, senior offensive lineman Jeff Taylor’s status is up in the air as the veteran nurses a sprained ankle he suffered against the Razorbacks. Taylor hobbled off the field in the first half and watched his team battle Arkansas from the sidelines for the remainder of the afternoon.
As the week progresses, CSU will gain a sense of the veteran lineman’s potential availability and the necessary timetable to return. The same goes for redshirt junior defensive lineman Toby McBride, who didn’t play in Fayetteville.
On the bright side, junior receiver Nate Craig-Myers will compete this week upon the NCAA granting his eligibility. Transfer regulations forced the former Auburn receiver to sit out CSU’s first three games following his two-plus year stint with the Tigers.
Craig-Myers accumulated 394 receiving yards and four touchdowns over nearly 30 games in the SEC from 2016-2018. Beforehand, the 6-foot-2, 202-pound athlete was acknowledged as a four-star, top 10 wideout in the country coming out of high school. Craig-Myers enhances an effective receiver group headlined by junior Warren Jackson and true freshman Dante Wright.
“Nate has been an awesome teammate,” Bobo said. “He has done a good job learning our offense…He’s in a good position. I feel like he will be ready to go. I’m excited to get him on the field. It’s another piece offensively that you have to find a way to integrate into your offense. I feel like he’s a talented guy that will give you a chance to be productive offensively. So, it adds another receiver in depth with Nikko (Hall) still being out.”

Junior Josh Thompson, listed as Texas' starting nickel back, will miss "significant" time with a broken foot, Herman said.
Cornerback Jalen Green, also listed as a starter on last week's depth chart, is out at least four weeks with a dislocated shoulder. Reserve linebacker Marcus Tillman Jr. will miss the rest of the season with a sprained knee.
Texas is off this week, and Herman hopes defensive backs B.J. Foster (hamstring) and DeMarvion Overshown (back) will return Oct. 5 against the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Not an injury but a (good) player that is done for the year.
Running back Khalil Herbert, Kansas' leading rusher, is no longer with the Jayhawks, coach Les Miles has announced.
Herbert said in a statement he posted on social media Thursday that he decided to redshirt before Kansas' game at TCU last weekend. He wanted to return to the Jayhawks for his redshirt senior season, he said, but things did not work out.
"Redshirting had many unforeseen consequences that my family and I did not know would result from this decision," he said. "Although things did not work out the way either side intended, I want you to know my intention was not to hurt the university, Jayhawk Nation, or my teammates."

NORMAN — Oklahoma could be without its two starting offensive tackles Saturday against Texas.
Left tackle Erik Swenson and right tackle Adrian Ealy are both "highly questionable at best," coach Lincoln Riley said Monday afternoon.
A different group of five has started every game on OU's offensive line. Virginia graduate transfer R.J. Proctor started at left tackle last Saturday against Kansas. Sophomore Tyrese Robinson started at right tackle.
Swenson and Ealy, both dealing with undisclosed injuries, aren't expected to be out long-term.

Mel Tucker: CU Buffs Laviska Shenault, K.D. Nixon, Mustafa Johnson still “day-to-day” for Oregon Ducks
Tucker on Tuesday was hopeful that tight end Brady Russell could play in Eugene against the No. 13 Ducks on Friday night. The rest? Still wait-and-see.
BOULDER — Laviska Shenault and K.D. Nixon were practicing with the CU Buffs on Tuesday morning. But as for playing on Friday at No. 13 Oregon? For both of the Buffaloes’ star wideouts, that remains a wait-and-see.
“They’re going to be ready when they’re ready,” CU coach Mel Tucker said of Shenault and Nixon, who were officially listed as “day-to-day” in the injury report released Tuesday. “Those guys want to play. Obviously, they’re competitors and they’re going to do everything they can to help the football team … we’re going to continue to treat them and see where they end up.”
Shenault remains a game-time decision with a core muscle strain sustained at Arizona State on Sept. 21. Nixon left last weekend’s home loss to Arizona with an undisclosed injury.
Nixon, Shenault and defensive lineman Mustafa Johnson were listed as starters on the depth chart that was also released, but they were listed in italics — which CU defines as “probable to day-to-day to questionable.”
Tucker said the other players who were clearly or reportedly injured against the Wildcats — tight ends Brady Russell and Jalen Harris, safety Mikial Onu and nose tackle Jalen Sami — are all considered day-to-day, although none of the four were listed in the team’s injury report. Onu appeared to suffer an injury to his side — it’s listed as a torso problem — chasing down a receiver in the second quarter of last Saturday’s contest, while Sami dinged up his right knee against the Wildcats.
“(Russell) is trending toward being ready to go,” Tucker said. “Sami is working back, getting better.”
Onu, a grad transfer who leads the Pac-12 and is second nationally in interceptions with four, remained listed as the starting free safety in the latest depth chart. Sami and Russell also remained on the first team at their respective positions, but it’s believed all three could also be game-time decisions.
Right guard Colby Pursell is out indefinitely because of upcoming surgery to remove a gallbladder. Redshirt freshman Casey Roddick, who started for Pursell against Arizona, is listed as the starter at right guard for the showdown in Eugene.
“(The surgery) is a good thing for him,” Tucker said of Pursell. “And he’s going to recover from it and we’ll get him back as soon as we can.”

Bears lose Johnston for season
- By JOHN WERNER jwerner@wacotrib.com
- 6 hrs ago
The No. 18 Baylor football team received a major blow as senior linebacker Clay Johnston is out for the season after suffering a knee injury Saturday against Texas Tech at McLane Stadium.
Johnston went down clutching his knee with 9:16 remaining in the fourth quarter after intercepting a pass by Texas Tech quarterback Jett Duffey.
The Bears went on to beat the Red Raiders, 33-30, in double overtime to improve to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12. But Johnston left the field on crutches and a Baylor official confirmed Sunday that he’ll miss the remainder of the year.
Johnston is Baylor’s leading tackler and ranks third in the Big 12 with 9.7 per game, and is fifth in the league by averaging 1.33 tackles per loss. In Baylor’s last four games, he’s averaged 11.7 tackles, including 10 with 1½ for loss against the Red Raiders.
Johnston is a three-year starter who was a second-team all-Big 12 pick last year after ranking fifth in the league by averaging 8.25 tackles in 12 games. He was a preseason all-league selection this season.
Without Johnston, sophomore Terrel Bernard will likely join seniors Jordan Williams and Blake Lynch as Baylor’s starting linebackers. Bernard started the first three games for the Bears this season and has collected 30 tackles with six recorded against Texas Tech.
It was a physical game as several Baylor players left the field, including defensive tackle Bravvion Roy and safety Chris Miller but they both returned to action.
“We have a lot of guys banged up and we have to play six more games against some really good teams,” said Baylor coach Matt Rhule after the game. “There’s a lot of work to be done. We’re a team that has to have a lot of guys contributing.”
The Bears’ unbeaten record allowed them to jump from No. 22 to 18 in the Associated Press poll on Sunday, but some of their toughest games are ahead beginning with Saturday’s 3 p.m. matchup against Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
The Cowboys (4-2, 1-2) had a bye week following their 45-35 loss to Texas Tech on Oct. 5 in Lubbock. The Bears have had difficulty winning in Stillwater since the Big 12’s inception as they’ve gone 1-11, and most of the losses have been lopsided. Baylor’s only road win against the Cowboys in the Big 12 era came in 2015 when they pulled out a 45-35 decision.
In Rhule’s lone trip to Oklahoma State, the Bears were blown out 59-16 in 2017. However, Baylor bounced back with a 35-31 win last year at McLane Stadium.
The win over the Red Raiders made the Bears bowl eligible. Last year, Baylor didn’t become bowl eligible until a 35-24 win over Texas Tech in the regular season finale.
“One of our first goals every season is to be bowl champions,” Rhule said. “It’s a tremendous honor any time someone invites us to play in their bowl game. It’s an accomplishment and we’re proud of that.”
Though the Bears allowed 510 yards against the Red Raiders, the defense delivered a lot of big plays with five sacks and 11 tackles for loss while forcing three turnovers.
Both Johnston and Williams made interceptions while cornerback Jameson Houston recovered a fumble. Defensive lineman James Lynch collected 2½ sacks and has a Big 12-high 8.5 for the season.
“It’s not just me,” Lynch said. “As a defense, we’ve been playing a lot better this year and obviously we’ve got a lot of room to improve. Me making a play isn’t always just me doing something. It’s somebody else around me helping me make that play.”
Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer hit 24 of 37 passes for 352 yards and ran for 55 yards on 15 carries and three touchdowns.
Brewer showed once again that he’s a clutch performer as he led the Bears 89 yards on their final possession of regulation to Texas Tech’s 2 to set up John Mayers’ game-tying 19-yard field goal as time expired.
Brewer ran for a one-yard touchdown in the first overtime and then hit JaMycal Hasty with an 18-yard pass in the second overtime to set up Hasty’s game-winning five-yard touchdown run.
But after throwing no interceptions in Baylor’s first five games, he forced several passes into coverage as the Red Raiders intercepted three passes.
“I think early they came out with some different looks that we hadn’t seen and it took us a minute to adjust to it,” Brewer said. “But that’s no excuse. I’ve got to take care of the football. I’ll get that fixed in practice and we won’t have to worry about that again.”

Football: Uncertain times for UNT with Fine, Siggers knocked out in loss at Southern Miss
- By Brett Vito Staff Writer bvito@dentonrc.com
- Oct 12, 2019 Updated 15 hrs ago
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — North Texas arrived at Southern Mississippi on Saturday hoping to turn its season around and establish itself atop the pecking order in the race for the Conference USA West Division title.
The Mean Green didn’t come close to reaching that goal in a 45-27 loss to the Golden Eagles at M.M. Roberts Stadium.
And that wasn’t even the bad news.
Mason Fine, UNT’s star quarterback, was knocked out of the game in the second half with an injury to his left shoulder and headed to the sideline, where he joined Tre Siggers, the Mean Green’s leading rusher who left with an ankle injury.
Fine is right-handed, a small consolation for UNT. The Mean Green’s season began with high hopes but is suddenly spiraling the wrong direction.
UNT (2-4) has now lost four of its last five. The Mean Green are still 1-1 in C-USA play and are far from out of the mix for the West Division title but have a long way to go to live up to expectations as the preseason favorite, especially after falling to Southern Miss (4-2, 2-0).
“You have two options, lay down and get beaten up or step up, look yourself in the mirror and find a way to get a day better,” UNT coach Seth Littrell said. “These kids are fighters. I feel like if we do the things necessary, we can get on a roll. It has to happen. We can’t just keep talking about it.”
The Mean Green might be forced to face that challenge without two of their top players, or at least with them playing at less than 100 percent.
“Mason was injured enough that he couldn’t come back,” Littrell said. “We will further examine him and Tre when we get back and see where they are at. We don’t know now.”
What UNT does know is that it is looking at a challenging road to reach its goals of earning a spot in the C-USA title game and even earning a bowl berth for a fourth straight season. The Mean Green will have to win four of their last six games just to become bowl eligible at 6-6.
“I always feel confident in my team,” UNT safety Taylor Robinson said. “It’s a little adversity. That’s all it is.”
UNT came into the game hoping to snap out of its funk in a game that was expected to be a battle between two of the top quarterbacks in C-USA.
Fine came into the game as the leading active passer in college football with 10,708 yards, while Abraham was leading the league with an average of 303 passing yards per game. Abraham came out of their showdown as the clear winner.
The sophomore threw for 421 yards and three touchdowns on 29-of-36 passing. UNT didn’t record a sack all night and allowed Abraham to get comfortable in the pocket.
“We had too many errors and didn’t execute,” Robinson said.
Fine threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns and kept UNT in the game into the second half. He was injured when he pulled the ball down and ran up the middle after being forced from the pocket.
Southern Miss defensive end Jacques Turner met Fine in the middle of the field and leveled him.
Fine stayed down on the field for several minutes before being helped off.
UNT was already down 38-20 at that point and had little chance of rallying against Southern Miss and Abraham, who helped turn the tide of the game late in the first half.
The Golden Eagles were up 21-20 and faced a third-and-goal situation from inside of UNT’s 1-yard line with 44 seconds left in the first half.
The Mean Green had already stuffed the Golden Eagles on consecutive runs from the 1. Abraham lined up under center and pushed his way into the end zone to extend Southern Miss’ lead.
“That was a huge play,” Littrell said. “It gave them momentum heading into the half.”
UNT never responded and watched as Southern Miss scored 17 straight points in the third quarter to pull away.
“They are very good on defense,” UNT wide receiver Jaelon Darden said. “They disguise things and blitz. That gave us problems.”
Those problems continued to mount on Saturday with another loss — and potentially, the loss of two key players.

Kirby Smart: Georgia football injuries added up in loss to South Carolina
ATHENS — Kirby Smart didn’t use injuries as an excuse for Georgia’s upset loss to South Carolina on Saturday, but it’s fair to say its significant when two of three game captains can’t play.
The most significant injury in the Bulldogs’ 20-17 overtime loss to South Carolina came to receiver Lawrence Cager.
Cager, a grad-transfer from Miami, has become the most irreplaceable player not named Jake Fromm on the roster.
Cager had come up big in the first half with three catches to convert on third down plays.

Cager had been doing it with a separated shoulder, Smart said, but on Saturday the Gamecocks were able to knock him out of the game.
“He’s got the separated shoulder he’s been dealing with it for weeks,” Smart said. “It’s hard to get healthy. He goes out there and plays. He doesn’t bang on it during the week but he goes out there and plays on it and he’s just having a hard time getting healthy.”
Tailback Brian Herrien, coming off the best performance of his career, was healthy enough to go to midfield for a coin toss and dress out. But Smart said back spasms limited him to riding the exercise bike during the game.
“He had back spasms and he got them (Friday),” Smart said. “They were going treat him for it and get him out there today. He tried to go, went through warmups but couldn’t get over them. It’s unfortunate that he wasn’t able to play being a senior.”
Redshirt freshman Zamir White ran hard, but he’s understandably still getting a feel for game action after missing more than year of game action on account of two ACL surgeries. White missed some cuts that could have led to big plays.
Justin Shaffer had drawn the past two starts at left guard in place of Solomon Kindley, but a neck sprain forced him out of the game and Kindley was forced back into action at less than 100 percent.
Kindley suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the 23-17 win over Notre Dame on Sept. 21 and didn’t appear to play with the same physicality against a determined South Carolina team.
Defensive back Mark Webb got the start against the Gamecocks, but Smart said he suffered a knee injury early. Divaad Wislon subbed in and got beat by Bryan Edwards on a 46-yard touchdown.
“(Webb) bumped knees on the Hilinski kid’s knee brace,” Smart explained. “They went knee to knee on one of those pressures and the knee brace got him. He’s injured. I don’t know how serious it is. We’ll check into it.”
Smart revealed Tyson Campbell’s injury has been a painful and “delicate” turf toe ailment, and so the 5-star cornerback was unable to play for the third consecutive game.
“He’s been able to run around in practice, he’s just not 100 percent,” Smart said. “That’s a very delicate injury and it’s tough to get over. We’re trying to be patient because you don’t want to come back early from that injury. Turf toe is a tough deal.”
Nose tackle Jordan Davis, who suffered an ankle injury against Tennessee, attempted to play agent South Carolina but was noticeably limping an unable to go.
Receiver Tyler Simmons continues to tough it out and play in a shoulder brace, but for the second time in three games he was responsible for a costly turnover, this time unable to raise his arms sufficiently to catch a pass that came out of his hands and was intercepted in overtime.
Freshman defensive lineman and kick coverage ace Travon Walker had his left arm in a cast and did not play. That took one more talented player out of the defensive front’s rotation.
Kearis Jackson, who began the season as the starting slot receiver, was listed as playing but did not have a catch. Jackson suffered a broken hand in the opening game and has been cleared the past two games.

Iowa OL Cole Banwart out for the year
The other player on the injury front is starting offensive guard Cole Banwart.
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound junior started in all 12 games last season, and appeared in three games this year despite missing a couple of games with an injured foot. Banwart didn't play against Penn State on Saturday, and Ferentz confirmed after the game that Banwart will be out for the remainder of the season. His injury is unknown.
The Iowa offensive line has struggled mightily the last two games. The interior of the offensive front has been rough around the edges, and could really use Banwart's presence.
"Then we have some moving parts inside right now," said Ferentz. "We'll just keep pushing forward. I think we have enough to win with. We just have to get a little bit better with our execution. That was [Mark] Kallenberger's first start playing a little bit of a different position. Thought he responded pretty well, too."

Jeffrey McCulloch, Chris Brown among Longhorns injured in loss to Oklahoma

Several more starters left the Red River Showdown with various injuries.
An already-battered Texas Longhorns team saw several more key contributors suffer various injuries on Saturday afternoon during the Horns’ 34-27 Red River Showdown loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Senior linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch left the action with what has since been diagnosed as a dislocated shoulder, Texas head coach Tom Herman told the media after the game. Though Herman didn’t provide a recovery timetable for McCulloch, he’ll likely be out for the foreseeable future given that starting cornerback Jalen Green is expected to ultimately be sidelined for a month due to a dislocated shoulder he suffered against Oklahoma State.
Similarly, junior safety Chris Brown will likely miss an extended period of time, as he has been diagnosed with a fractured forearm, per Herman.
Senior receiver Collin Johnson is still being evaluated for a helmet-to-helmet hit he suffered on a catch in the fourth quarter. In his return to the starting lineup after missing Texas’ previous three matchups with a hamstring injury, Johnson led the Longhorns with six receptions for 82 yards, and drew two key defensive pass interference calls in the fourth quarter.
Sophomore defensive back B.J. Foster, who has also missed time this season with a hamstring injury, suffered a stinger during the game, but was able to return.
Junior running back Daniel Young, on the other hand, didn’t return to the game after being diagnosed with a stinger.
Next up, the 4-2 (2-1) Longhorns will be back at home for a Saturday evening meeting with the 2-4 (0-3) Kansas Jayhawks.

San Jose State's Nick Nash:
The lone bright spot of the Spartans rushing game on Saturday was backup quarterback Nick Nash, who led the team in rushing with 232 yards before Nevada.
Leading SJSU again on the ground with 23 yards on three carries, Nash suffered a lower body injury in the early minutes of Saturday’s game.
In an attempt to spin out of a tackle to gain a few more yards on 1st-and-10 with 5:33 to play in the first quarter, Nash was laid out by a pair of Nevada defensive linemen. Unable to put weight on the injured leg, Nahs was forced to be carried off the field by San Jose State’s medical staff.
As a true freshman, Nash has been weapon for San Jose State’s offense. Posing a threat as both a passer and runner, Nash’ lanky 6-foot-1, 184-pound frame has given opposing defense fits. This was evident during a 22-yard gain one play before Nash was mowed down.
Unable to disclose what the specific injury is or what a timetable may be for his recovery, Nash’s status moving forward is unknown.

Oregon’s leading receiver, TE Jake Breeland, suffers season-ending leg injury
By Kevin McGuireOct 14, 2019, 4:36 PM EDT
Leave a comment
It turns out the leg injury suffered by Oregon tight end Jake Breeland was pretty serious. Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal confirmed the news on Monday that Breeland will miss the remainder of the 2019 season with a left leg injury.
“It hurts you personally and it hurts everyone when a guy that’s worked so hard, has overcome as much as he has and the type of season he was having, to have to endure something like this,” Cristobal said in a press conference on Monday, according to The Oregonian. “He’s ready to attack the whole process of getting healthy again so he can play again.”
Breeland will have his 2019 season brought to a premature close after leading the team with 405 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Oregon’s receivers have been banged up at times already this season, and losing the top tight end in the offense won’t make things any easier. Oregon visits Washington this week for a pivotal Pac-12 North matchup with the defending conference champions.
So, who replaces Breeland at the position? Oregon’s latest depth chart currently has Ryan Bay and Hunter Kampmoyer filling the top spots at the tight end positions for the Ducks. Bay, a senior, has appeared in all six games and has caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. Kampmoyer, a junior, has caught one pass for 21 yards and a touchdown in six games this season.

Knee injury knocks Boston College QB Anthony Brown out for a second season

- Anthony Brown had his redshirt freshman season cut short due to a knee injury, battled back to start all 12 games in 2018 and BC’s first six contests this fall, until yet another knee injury knocked him out for another season.
Boston College head coach Steve Addazio revealed Monday that Brown will miss the remainder of the season with what the school is calling a “lower leg injury.” Brown made a cut avoiding a tackle during BC’s Oct. 5 game against Louisville and immediately clutched his left knee. Boston College lost the game, 41-39, though Brown began the contest 6-of-7 for 193 yards and a touchdown.
“We’re very, very sad for Anthony. He worked hard to get himself where he was. He’s seventh all-time in passing in BC history and heading towards greater things this year. He’s had a great career and he’s prepared and practiced and put so much into it. We’re so proud of him,” Addazio said.
The fourth-year junior from Cliffwood, N.J., finishes his season 81-of-137 for 1,250 yards with nine touchdowns against two interceptions while rushing for 128 yards and two scores.
“It’s a tough deal, but he’s a tough guy and he’ll bounce back,” Addazio said. “We’re gonna love him and support him and get him back to where he was, but his season has come to an end.”
Brown can return as a fifth-year senior in 2020, with two year-ending knee injuries under his belt, literally and figuratively.

Virginia loses CB Bryce Hall for the season

Virginia has lost cornerback Bryce Hall for the season, head coach Bronco Mendenhall revealed Monday.
He suffered an ankle injury in Virginia’s loss to Miami on Friday and underwent surgery on Monday, which will spell the end of his college career. The injury came while Hall was blocking on a punt return. Trainers put the injured ankle in an air cast and, while players on both teams gave him good wishes, ESPN decided the injury was gruesome enough that it would not air replays of the play.
“Bryce Hall is in good spirits,” Mendenhall said. “We expect a good recovery, he sustained a left ankle injury and had surgery Monday. We do not expect him back this season. He is an amazing young person, I am thankful for his efforts and to be his coach. On the bus after the game, Bryce was sitting behind me and he said to me, ‘Coach, I’m a human buoy.’ He has been exemplary in everything he has done here.”
Hall is the best player on Virginia’s roster. The Harrisburg, Pa., senior entered the season a Preseason All-American on multiple lists and led the nation in 2018 with 24 passes defended. He also posted two interceptions and 62 tackles, earning him First Team All-ACC honors.
