How many TDs can I score???

#20 USC (3-0) @ Washington State (1-2), 3 pm

USC: If there is a tonic for faltering offenses, it is the Washington State Defense. All Trojans are a GO!! WR RoJo could easily crack 150 yards, as well as WR#2 Robert Woods. You can even think about WR3 David Ausberry and TE Rhett Ellison as sneaky ways to glean some fantasy points if you are stuck. RB still remains somewhat of a guessing game, but odds are for RB Allen Bradford to have the best day, but there should be carries all around in this blowout.

Washington State: Well, on the bright side, Hawaii showed the Trojans can be thrown on. QB Jeff Tuel, deep threat WR Marquess Wilson and possession guy WR Jared Karstetter will be playing catchup all day. Wilson is the main (and really only) scoring threat, so he may be paid more attention, leaving Karstetter with some breathing room underneath. Read the rest of this entry →

You shouldn’t have needed this article to tell you that all Bears are a GO this week. Nevada has given up 432 and 266 yards of offense to the likes of 1-AA Eastern Washington and Colorado State.

The Wolfpack haven’t seen anything like what Cal is bringing to the table this weekend (well, except for maybe last year’s Boise State game: the Bronco’s put up 44 points with 165 on the ground and almost 300 thru the air).

Early returns suggest Nevada may be softer against the pass than the run under normal conditions, but factor in the extra man they will have in the box to keep an eye on Vereen a both Cal WRs could go hogwild.

He plays oufielder for a perennial nationally-ranked baseball program….he rushed for the most yards in California high school football history….he took 21 credit hours of classes this fall semester….he darn near won the Heisman Trophy….

That “he” is Stanford running back Toby Gerhart….who also is our Fantasy College Blitz – Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year….repeating the same honor from last season (FCB 2008 Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year).

Gerhart (photo, thanks SportsIllustrated.com), a senior from Norco, CA (Norco HS) led the Cardinal with over 1500 yards rushing and 23 rushing TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).  Gerhart, who also had nearly 200 yards receiving, was the top fantasy running back, nationally, in 2009.

Last week proved to be very exciting as USC suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Washington Huskies.  We profiled this game last week as our PAC 10 game of the week and it definitely lived up to the hype.  There wasn’t a lot of scoring in this one but you have to be happy with Joe McKnight’s (pictured left, thanks Icon SMI) performance- 100 yards and a touchdown.  For Washington, Jake Locker had 237 yards on the air and rushed for a touchdown.  Locker is looking like the top quarterback in the conference with 811 yards passing and 5 touchdowns. 

Don’t forget about Kevin Riley from Cal though.  He has 698 yards and 5 touchdowns so far and plays with all-world running back Jahvid Best (we’ll get to him in a second).  Cal plays Oregon this week in our PAC 10 game of the week. Read the rest of this entry →

Just as we figured, USC has reloaded and started off hot.  They look again like the dominant team in the PAC 10.  We are very early into the season, so we will be keeping an eye on USC and let you know who from the Trojans can put up some big numbers for fantasy players.  Also, Oregon looks to be in trouble.  With LaGarette Blount out for the season, they will rely on a committee of running backs.  Jeremiah Masoli will see an increase in production and remains a solid start.  He’s passed for 284 yards (no passing touchdowns) and run for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Oregon plays 18^th ranked Utah this week.
