News
Colorado running back Micah Welch did not practice Tuesday because of a hand injury, according to CBS Sports. Coach Deion Sanders said Welch is "hurting right now" and that he does not know the severity of the injury.
Colorado WR Danny Scudero has not fully recovered from a foot ailment that surfaced before the season, according to Colorado Buffaloes On SI. Coach Deion Sanders said, "We don't want to push Danny out there and set him back."
Trelain Maddox carried the load in Georgia Tech's rushing game in a career-best outing, according to the school's official athletics site: 12 carries for 96 yards and 1 rushing touchdown, plus 3 catches for 16 yards, in Georgia Tech's 34-24 loss at Virginia Tech on Oct. 17. He scored 18.2 CollegeFFB points against the Hokies, up from 7 carries a game in his previous 3 games. At $5.8M, he looks in line for a bigger if injuries continue to keep Justice Haynes and Malachi Hosley off the field.
Isaac Wilson threw for 256 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran 7 times for 41 yards in Colorado's 27-24 loss to Utah on Oct. 17, good for 18.3 CollegeFFB points. Colorado visits Oklahoma State on Oct. 24, and Wilson, at $4.8M and averaging 11 CollegeFFB points a game this season, appears positioned for a bigger workload.
Jaquail Smith ran 13 times for 73 yards and caught 1 pass for 68 yards and a touchdown in Colorado's 27-24 loss to Utah on Oct. 17, good for 21.1 CollegeFFB points. Colorado Buffaloes On SI named him one of Colorado's biggest winners from the game. The outlet also reported that Smith "earned the work" and that Colorado will keep riding the hot hand. At $5.3M, Smith is averaging 6.6 points a game this season and looks in line for a bigger workload when Colorado visits Oklahoma State on Oct. 24.
Jordan Allen "has established himself as the guy" for Georgia Tech, according to Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets On SI. He had 10 catches for 120 yards and 22 CollegeFFB points in Georgia Tech's 34-24 loss at Virginia Tech on Oct. 17. Georgia Tech hosts Boston College on Oct. 24, and at $5.3M, Allen could stay busy and keep producing; he is averaging 14.2 CollegeFFB points a game this season, with 5.3 catches per game across his previous 3 games.
Colorado wide receiver Kam Perry is back on the injured list, according to Colorado Buffaloes On SI. Perry missed time earlier this season with an injury, and the outlet reported it is unclear whether a setback with that same injury is what landed him back on the list.
Joseph Williams had 10 catches for 93 yards and 1 touchdown in Colorado's 29-7 loss to Texas Tech on Oct. 3, good for 23.3 CollegeFFB points. Williams looks well placed for a featured role at $6.3M, as he has averaged 21.6 CollegeFFB points a game this season, with 6.7 catches per game over his previous 3 games. Colorado faces Utah on Oct. 17.
