Read beneath for my ideas on week 9, which could be seen at FOX and the FOX Sports App.
Let’s dive into the questions and predictions beneath.
1. Which QB will throw for THE MOST PASSING YARDS?
Brendan Sorsby, Behren Morton, Will Howard, Will Rogers
Sorsby and Morton rank 18th and nineteenth within the FBS in passing yards per sport, each topping simply over 275 per outing, however Howard is poised for a bounce-back sport after a one-point loss to Oregon adopted by a bye week. The Buckeyes sign caller is averaging 262.3 passing yards per outing and has 40 completions of 15+ yards and 17 of 25+ yards. Nebraska’s run protection ranks sixteenth within the nation with 102.9 speeding yards allowed per sport, so count on Howard to move that alongside to the a number of big-threat choices he has at his disposal. I like that Howard has an amazing sport alongside gamers like Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Egbuka.
Prediction: Will Howard
2. Sort the ten BIG groups by who will rating the MOST POINTS (highest to lowest):
Maryland, Minnesota, Northwest, Iowa
Maryland averages probably the most factors per sport of this group, however they’re 4.5-point underdogs heading into the sport in opposition to Minnesota. Iowa’s offense has seemed a lot better than final yr, at the moment averaging 27.9 factors per sport (within the first seven video games of final season, it averaged 20.9 per sport). They face a Northwest crew that ranks 119th in FBS at 19.0 factors per sport. Although their protection permits simply 19.6, they have not seen a operating again of the caliber of Kaleb Johnson, who ranks second within the nation in speeding yards per sport (147.9), behind solely Heisman favourite Ashton Jeanty .
Prediction: Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, Iowa, Northwest
3. Who may have THE MOST RECEIVING YARDS?
I discussed earlier than how I believe Jeremiah Smith might have an amazing sport, however Restrepo in opposition to a struggling Florida State crew is simply too good to move up. He leads the ACC with 686 receiving yards, which can also be the ninth-most yards in FBS this season. He is 4 rushes away from passing Reggie Wayne for the varsity report in that class, and 144 yards away from passing Santana Moss for that report as nicely. The sport is at residence and Miami is at the moment the favourite with 21 factors. Something tells me he might break each information on this rivalry sport.
Saverio Restrepo, Luca Wysong, Jeremiah Smith, Kevin Coleman Jr.
Prediction: Saverio Restrepo
4. Sort the next by who may have the MOST TOTAL YARDS (highest to lowest):
DJ Giddens, RJ Harvey, Omarion Hampton, Kaleb Johnson
As beforehand talked about, Johnson is an absolute stud who has run on each crew this season. He leads the nation in rushes of 20+ yards with 17 (sure, greater than Jeanty who has 14) and is tied for probably the most rushes of 25+ yards with 13 (tied with Jeanty). He additionally has 102 receiving yards, making him the one participant in FBS with 1,000 speeding yards and 100 receiving yards. Hampton can also be play right here as he’s the point of interest of North Carolina’s offense and has 1,036 scrimmage yards, however it’s arduous to choose him over Johnson at this spot.
Prediction: Kaleb Johnson
5. Which crew WILL WIN AWAY in week 9?
LSU, West Virginia, Texas TechNone (all three groups lose)
This might be the toughest of the six questions right here, as all three of those groups have an opportunity to win. LSU has a giant matchup in opposition to the Aggies at Kyle Field, whereas the Mountaineers journey to Tucson to face Arizona and the Red Raiders go to Fort Worth to face TCU. Ultimately, West Virginia is making an attempt to keep away from three straight losses and faces a Wildcat crew that’s making an attempt to keep away from 4 straight. Brent Brennan’s crew provides up 27.6 factors per sport and finds itself dealing with a veteran quarterback in Garrett Greene. Neal Brown and Co. ought to win an in depth match on the highway.
Prediction: West Virginia
6. What would be the end result of this sport?
Nebraska wins or loses by 25 factors or much less OR Ohio State wins by 26 factors or extra
Will Howard (QB), Jeremiah Smith (WR), Emeka Egbuka (WR), Quinshon Judkins (RB), TreVeyon Henderson (RB), Caleb Downs (S), Lathan Ransom (S), JT Tuimoloau (DE), Jack Sawyer (DE), Denzel Burke (CB). Why did I simply listing a bunch of Ohio State gamers? Because every of those people is within the dialog for the most effective of the nation of their respective positions. Many of those gamers shall be first-round picks, and Nebraska merely would not have the firepower to match them. The Buckeyes ought to win massive right here.
Prediction: Ohio State wins by 26 factors or extra
Tie-break: What will the ultimate rating be?
Prediction: Ohio State 42, Nebraska 13
