College Football Round-Up

Oregon State Defeats UTEP While Previewing Upcoming College Football Matchups

Oregon State beat UTEP 33-7 in El Paso for its second straight win, controlling the game with its defense and running game; freshman receiver Jesse Legree caught two touchdowns. Georgia Tech’s preview of Stanford focused on freshman linebacker Outlaw, who could earn more snaps amid injuries, and receiver Penson, who may take on a larger role. At Arizona, cornerback Boss rebounded after allowing a 52-yard touchdown, giving up only five more yards, while tight end Shane King could see more action if Cole Rusk is sidelined. Colorado State and UTSA entered their Sept. 26 matchup at 2-1 after losses, with Colorado State averaging 38.7 points per game but allowing 227 rushing yards per game; that weakness could help UTSA running back Will Henderson III, who had 219 yards this season after being held to 38 yards by Texas. UTSA was adjusting its linebacker roles after Chris Bryson’s injury, and Zach Morris had earned a starting opportunity after recovering from ankle injuries. UTSA’s Pewee could also switch positions depending on matchups.
