After sitting out Tuesday’s practice, junior quarterback Matt Ryan
donned the pads Wednesday and went to work for the first time since injuring
his left ankle in last Thursday night’s season-opening 31-24 victory at Central
Michigan. As was the case last season, when the Eagles went to Clemson looking
for their first ACC victory with a backup in place of injured starting
quarterback Quinton
Porter (ankle), Ryan’s status remained up in the air after
coach Tom O’Brien
indicated during a teleconference yesterday it would be “a game-time decision.”
If Ryan is unable to play, BC will turn to Chris Crane, a 6-foot-4-inch, 232-pound sophomore

Former Coral Gables Miami standout Steven Harris should play against
on Saturday, coach Urban Meyer
said. Meyer also expects to play defensive tackle Marcus Thomas, who was suspended for the season opener.”They’ll play unless [something else happens],”
Meyer said. “Let’s see how their behavior is.” Harris, who started at defensive
tackle all of last season, had missed most of spring camp because of poor
grades and because of fathering three children. Tailback DeShawn Wynn (neck) has been upgraded from questionable to probable. The

The Spartans’ running game was sporadic in last week’s
opener against
gained 70 yards on 16 carries and Caulcrick 50 yards
on 12 carries. But they are expected to provide an effective one-two punch,
assuming a revamped offensive line opens enough holes for them. MSU plays host to
on Saturday. After an overall lackluster performance against
the Spartans’ offensive line needs to assert itself more against a so-called
inferior opponent. The line has three new starters with sophomore Roland Martin
at right guard, sophomore Jesse Miller at right tackle and junior Pete Clifford
at left guard. The two returning starters have switched positions—senior Kyle
Cook from left guard to center and Mike Gyetvai from
right tackle to left tackle. This unit is going to be a work in progress
because of these changes. The sooner it develops under assistant Jeff Stoutland, the faster the Spartans can take full advantage
of their weapons at the skill positions.
State’s biggest concern defensively is containing the running ability of

coaches insisted Wednesday that felony theft and forgery charges against three

Rocky Mountain Showdown with
For one of the few times during CSU coach Sonny Lubick’s 14-year career, there were no mid-week interviews
permitted with players. “You look in their eyes and they are ready to play,” Lubick said. Backup cornerback Robert Herbert and redshirt
freshmen cornerback Micah Crews and defensive lineman Brian Abata
were suspended indefinitely. Herbert, who was demoted as a starter midway
through preseason camp, also lost his kickoff-return duties after fumbling the
opening third-quarter kickoff last Saturday. Lubick
said he did not know if an ongoing investigation had affected Herbert’s play. Check out the approved sportsbooks at www.linetrackers.com
Washington-Oklahoma
News Tribune
Eliminate two tight ends and the offense is bound to
suffer. How much is the question. The University of Washington football team
faces a tight end shortage for Saturday’s game at 10th-ranked
Oklahoma because two of team’s top three tight ends – Michael Gottlieb has a
broken hand and Rob Evans a broken foot – won’t play. UW coach Tyrone
Willingham said the biggest impact will be on the running game.
offense may have some new formations and a few more plays than it showed in its
opening game against Alabama-Birmingham. But whatever the Sooners throw at the
Huskies, it probably won’t be as radical as what
Jose
last week in UW’s season opener. The Spartans came out in a spread offense,
something they had not shown last season. The new offense made for some
scrambling in the early going, UW defensive coordinator Kent Baer said. The
Sooners are expected to feature the run with talented tailback Adrian Peterson
for at least two reasons. One, Peterson is good. Two, running the ball takes
the pressure off quarterback-turned-receiver-turned-quarterback Paul Thompson.
Defensive lineman Greyson Gunheim
said knowing the opponent’s tendencies, even one as formidable as the Sooners,
makes stopping them a little easier. Bet now through the Greek, home of the 21 percent sign up bonus
