of offense.
Arkansas State picked up their first win of the season,

ULM was victimized by 3 INTs by QB Garett Smith, and the
Warhawks also allowed a blocked punt for a TD to fall to 1-4 on the season.
Georgia Southern could not capitalize on 5 Arkansas State
turnovers, and Matt Breida was limited to just 42 yards, forcing the Eagles to
make 4 FGs on the night in a last second loss.

against the Vols. The Aggies finished with 684 yards of offense, including 216 yards
rushing by Trayveon Williams.
Auburn jumped out to a 35-0 lead at the half, and then
held on for a 38-14 win over Mississippi StateKamryn Pettway led the way for
Auburn with 169 yards rushing and 3 TDs, and the Tigers are now 2-1 in SEC
play.
Kentucky picked up another must win game, as they jumped
out to a 17-3 lead on Vanderbilt early, and then held on for a 20-13 win. The
Wildcats rushed for 257 yards in the win, and the defense, which has been
shelled this season, allowed just 282 yards total.
In a game moved to Sunday because of Hurricane Matthew,
Georgia got 2 rushing TDs from Nick Chubb, who recorded his 1st 100
yard effort since the opener, and the defense dominated in a 28-14 win over
South Carolina in SEC East play. The Bulldogs rushed for 326 yards on the day.
FAIL: Arkansas,
Tennessee, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, South Carolina
Austin Allen was picked off 3 times, and Arkansas got
jumped on early by Alabama, and then never recovered in their 17th
all-time loss to the Tide. The Arkansas defense was largely to blame for the
loss, however, as the Razorbacks gave up 517 yards of offense.
Tennessee lost 5 fumbles, and a furious rally fell short
in OT, as Tennessee lost to Texas A&M for the first time 45-38. Their lost
fumbles were the most by a Vols team since 1996. The defense was a huge factor
in the loss, as missed tackles plagued the defense throughout the game.
Mississippi State was plagued by 7 penalties and 3
turnovers in a 38-14 loss to Auburn, dropping the Bulldogs to just 1-2 in SEC
play. The offense held the football for just over 26 minutes in a terrible
effort, especially early on.
Vanderbilt was held to just 282 yards by Kentucky, and
was just 3/12 on 3rd down conversions in a loss to the Wildcats. The
Commodores are now just 2-4 overall this season.
South Carolina committed 3 turnovers, and 2 more on
downs, and allowed over 300 yards rushing to Georgia in a 28-14 loss to the
Bulldogs that saw their record fall to just 2-4 under Will Muschamp.
PPD: Florida, LSU
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: PAC-12
PAC-12
PASS: USC,
Washington, Washington State, Utah, Oregon State, Arizona State
USC held the football for the final 4:29 of the game, and
are showing signs of life again after beating Colorado 21-17 at home. Sam
Darnold survived 3 turnovers by tossing 3 TD passes on the day, and the Trojans
rolled up 539 yards in the win.
Washington scored 21 points in the 1st and 3rd
quarters, and destroyed Oregon 70-21 in Eugene. The Huskies finished just short
of 700 yards on the day in total offense. Jake Browning passed for 304 yards
and 6 TDs, and rushed for 2 more to score 8 for the day.
Washington State built a 14-3 lead at the half against
Stanford and never looked back in a 42-16 drubbing of the Cardinal in Palo
Alto. Luke Falk passed for 357 yards and 4 TDs, and the Cougars rolled up 458
yards of offense against the Stanford D.
Utah struggled in the first half, but came back strong in
the second in a 36-23 win over Arizona in SLC. The win was the 100th
for Kyle Whittingham as coach of the Utes. Troy Williams was a bit erratic, but
still managed to pass for a TD and rush for 2 more in the win.
Oregon State did something they have never really been
good at in the last 35 years, they turned to the ground to pound out an attack
that beat Cal, although the Beavers nearly handed the game away late. Ryan Nall
rushed for 221 yards and 3 TDs on just
14 carries before leaving with an injury, and OSU rushed for a whopping
454 yards on the night in a 47-44 win despite allowing 17 points in the final 7
minutes to the Bears.
Arizona State held UCLA to -1 yards rushing, and knocked
Josh Rosen out of the game twice in an uninspiring 23-20 win over the Bruins in
Tempe. Although the offense was flat most of the night, the defense played
their most solid game to date, and most of Josh Rosen’s 400 yards were largely
wasted space.
FAIL: Colorado,
Oregon, Stanford, Arizona, California, UCLA
Despite outscoring USC in the 2nd half,
Colorado could not get the football back late in the 4th to come
from behind to beat USC. Steven Montez was held to just 25 yards rushing, his
lowest output of the season in the loss.
Oregon suffered one of their worst defeats in school
history in a 70-21 crushing by Washington at home. The Ducks gave up 684 yards
on the night, and also gave up 30 1st downs to the Huskies. Oregon
is also now 0-3 in PAC-12 play and is in dead last place in the North.
Stanford has now scored just 2 offensive TDs in their
last 3 games after falling to Washington State at the Farm, 42-16. Stanford
picked up just 296 yards of offense, and Christian McCaffery was held to just
35 yards rushing and was injured. The Cardinal are now averaging 43 points
against after holding their first three opponents to 13 points or less.
Arizona is now 0-3 in PAC-12 play, and fell apart in the
second half in their loss to Utah. Utah scored 10 of their points off of 3
Arizona turnovers on the night. Brandon Dawkins tossed 2 picks, and the defense
gave up 475 yards to the Utes.
California averaged well over 400 yards per game passing,
but was relegated to just 124 yards passing against the Beavers, and they themselves
turned to a ground attack. A late rally almost stole a win for the Bears, but
their faulty defense failed them again on a night that was quite winnable.
Josh Rosen was knocked out of the game once with a groin
injury, and then was removed after an apparent arm/wrist injury, and UCLA never
got on track offensively in a 23-20 loss to Arizona State that may have been
the most boring contest of the day overall. UCLA’s O line is a mess, the
coaching staff on offense is completely in disarray, and Jim Mora appears
disjointed and disconnected. UCLA had the football on the 2 yard line in the 4th
quarter, and failed to score more than a FG, and sadly, I predicted on Twitter
that this would be the outcome of that possession.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: Conference USA
Conference USA
PASS: UTSA, North
Texas, FIU, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Charlotte
UTSA exploded for 28 points in the 1st
quarter, and rolled over Southern Miss 55-32, the highest scoring output this
season for the Roadrunners. Jalen Rhodes rushed for 165 yards on just 14
carries, and scored 3 TDs, averaging 11.8 yards per carry. Jarveon Williams
also rushed for 122 yards and 2 more TDs in the win.
North Texas blew open a tight game in the second half,
and beat Marshall 38-21 at home this week. UNT rolled up 458 yards, with 254
yards coming on the ground. UNT is now 2-1 in CUSA play under 1st
year coach Seth Littrell.
FIU is now 2-0 since firing Ron Turner after beating UTEP
35-21. The Panthers snapped a 7 game road losing streak, and struggling QB Alex
McGough passed for 241 yards and 3 TDs, after having tossed just 2 TDs all
season. FIU is now 2-0 in CUSA play.
Ryan Higgins passed for 4 TDs, and more importantly, no
INTs, as Louisiana Tech held off a furious 4th quarter rally to beat
Western Kentucky 55-52. Carlos Henderson, returning from injury, caught 5
passes for 190 yards and 3 TDs, all in the 1st half for the
Bulldogs.
Jeremy Cox rushed for 162 yards, and Ray Lawry added 88
more, as Old Dominion cruised to a 36-16 win over U Mass in a non con game at
home. Lawry tied former QB Thomas DiMarco with his 30th career TD
for ODU.
Charlotte beat FAU Sunday as a late 38 yard toss into the
end zone was ruled incomplete on review, allowing the 49ers to escape with the
win. Hasaan Klugh broke all his former high marks passing, as he tossed for 223
yards and 3 scores in the win for Charlotte.
FAIL: Southern
Miss, Marshall, UTEP, Western Kentucky, FAU
Southern Miss, who has largely been the most
disappointing team in CUSA this fall, turned the football over 3 times, and
allowed UTSA to jump out to a 28 point 1st quarter. The Eagles were
outrushed by 160 yards in the loss.
Marshall is in a freefall at this point, and is now just
1-4 overall. The Herd, who are an offensive super power most seasons, picked up
just 271 yards in their most recent loss to North Texas. The wheels are
completely off the wagon at this point.
UTEP lost their 5th straight game, and Aaron
Jones rushed for just 73 yards in falling to FIU. The Miners also only
converted 4/14 on 3rd downs.
Western Kentucky scored 21 points in the 4th quarter
but their rally fell short in a 55-52 loss to Louisiana Tech. A late Mike White
fumble cost the Hilltoppers, and offset a wonderful night for the QB.
FAU lost for the 5th consecutive game this
week, dropping a 28-23 game to Charlotte as a last ditch hail Mary was ruled
incomplete with the receiver out of bounds. A 3 TD effort by RB Gregory Howell,
Jr. was wasted in the loss, and Jason Driskell has now tossed INTs in 5 of 6
games, all to 1st year defenders.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: Mountain West
Mountain West
PASS: Wyoming,
Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado State, San Diego State, Boise State
Josh Allen passed for 3 TDs, and Wyoming has finally come
around during the Craig Bohl era, as the Cowboys are now 2-0 in MWC play this
season. Wyoming was plus 3 in turnovers, and stopped the Air Force rushing
attack.
Hawaii used a 10-0 4th quarter to pull away
from San Jose State on the road, and the Rainbows have now won 3 of their last
4 to even up at 3-3. Dru Brown passed for 287 yards and 2 TDs, and rushed for
another in the win.
Nevada had to rally, but they did exactly that in a 27-22
win over Fresno State. Wyatt Demps caught 3 TD passes in the win, as the Pack
snapped a losing streak and evened up at 3-3.
Colorado State looked like they were falling again this
week, but they woke up after trailing 24-10 to shut Utah State down after the
half, and the Rams pulled off a 31-24 win. Izzy Mathews rushed for the game
tying score, and then ran for the go ahead for the Rams, who are now 3-3.
San Diego State bounced back from a head scratching loss
to South Alabama last week to frustrate UNLV 26-7 at home. Donnel Pumphery
rushed for 141 yards and a score, and Rashaad Penny picked up 160 yards and
scored twice for the Aztecs.
Boise State scored 42 consecutive points on the way to a 49-21 win over New Mexico on the rod Friday night. Cedrick Wilson and Thomas Sperbeck both caught 9 passes for the Broncos in the easy MWC win.
Boise State scored 42 consecutive points on the way to a 49-21 win over New Mexico on the rod Friday night. Cedrick Wilson and Thomas Sperbeck both caught 9 passes for the Broncos in the easy MWC win.
FAIL: Air Force,
San Jose State, Fresno State, Utah State, UNLV, New Mexico
Air Force turned the ball over 3 times, and was held to
just 149 yards rushing. Nate Romine tossed 3 picks after a huge week against
Navy in the air last week.
San Jose State gave up 431 yards to Hawaii in a 34-17
loss, and the season is completely lost for the Spartans. SJSU is barreling
into a losing season, and Ron Caragher could be gone by the end of the season.
Spartans are just lost.
Fresno State continues to spiral out of control, and are
now just 1-5. Tim DeRuyter is looking like he is on his way out. The Bulldogs
had 452 yards of offense, and yet only had 22 points to show for it.
Utah State completely collapsed after the half, blowing a
24-10 lead against Colorado State to lose. USU gained 461 yards yet struggled
to score once again. The Matt Wells star is diminishing quickly.
UNLV passed for only 9 yards, and ended with
just 122 yards total in a 26-7 loss to San Diego State on the road. A season
where there was limited hope of going to a bowl is slowly starting to spiral
away for the young Rebels, who punted 8 times on the night. The good news is
that UNLV did not commit a penalty. There’s your silver lining. New Mexico had issues in pass coverage all night, and allowed Boise State to run away from them on Friday night. Lamar Jordan threw his 1st TD pass of the year, and if the Lobos want to start winning, they will have to ditch their triple option approach and start playing modern football. Bob Davie is squarely on the hot seat now.

Independents
PASS: BYU
Jamaal Williams rushed for 163 yards and 3 TDs, as BYU
scored 21 points in the 4th quarter to pull away from Michigan State
in East Lansing. Williams now has 9 TDs in the last two games for the Cougars.
FAIL: Notre Dame,
Army, U Mass
The Irish had no answers for the weather in Raleigh, and
had a punt blocked and returned for a TD in a 10-3 loss that drops the Irish to
just 2-4 this season.
Army committed 3 turnovers, and rushed for just 165 yards
in a 13-6 loss to Duke on the road. After starting 3-0, Army has now dropped 2
straight against ACC opponents.
U Mass used four different QBs in a 36-16 loss to Old
Dominion, and the Minutemen held the ball for just 23 minutes in the loss.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: ACC
ACC
PASS: Florida
State, Virginia Tech, NC State, Pittsburgh, Duke, Wake Forest, Clemson
Florida State came back from 10 down, and blocked a PAT
to beat Miami 20-19. DeAndre Francois passed for 234 yards with 2 scores, and
engineered the go ahead drive for the Seminoles.
It was a terrible passing game by Virginia Tech QB Jerod
Evans, but he still managed 2 TD passes and a rushing TD on just 71 yards
passing, and the defense crushed North Carolina in a 34-3 win for the Hokies,
their 2nd largest win over a ranked opponent in school history.
NC State held on defensively, and returned a blocked punt
for a TD in a hurricane plagued football game, and NC State beat Notre Dame
10-3. Ryan Finley was held to just 27 yards passing, largely due to the
weather.
Chris Blewitt hit a FG as time expired, and Pitt escaped
with a 37-34 shootout win over Georgia Tech. Nathan Peterman has not tossed a
pick for 3 straight games now.
Deondre Singleton picked up a pick and a fumble recovery,
and Duke survived a terrible day on offense to hold off Army 13-6 at home.
Cade Carney rushed for a TD, and Marquel Lee recorded 15
tackles, including 5.5 TFLs as Wake Forest stone walled the Syracuse offense in
a 28-9 win.
Deshaun Watson survived an average passing completion day
to pass for 4 TDs, and Clemson scored 21 in the first and again in the fourth
to crush Boston College on the road 56-10.
FAIL: Miami, North
Carolina, Georgia Tech, Syracuse
Miami blows a 10 point lead in the 4th
quarter, and then gets a PAT blocked to tie the game and go into OT. Miami also
collapsed on offense after a fast start, and was held to just 276 yards in the
loss to Florida State.
UNC is now just 3-9 against ranked opponents under Larry
Fedora, and the ragingly inconsistent Tar Heels laid a major egg at home
against Virginia Tech in a 34-3 loss at home after beating Florida State just a
week ago.
Georgia Tech has now dropped 3 straight games after
opening the season 3-0. This is classic Paul Johnson. If the losses continue,
he may be on the hot seat.
Eric Dungy failed to pass for a TD for the 1st
time this season, and Syracuse was largely neutralized in a 28-9 loss to Wake
Forest.
BC dropped their 6th straight game to Clemson,
and the Eagles gave up 3 plays of 50 yards or more in the 2nd quarter
in a crushing home loss to the Tigers. BC has lost 8 of 9 to Clemson as well.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: Big 10
Big 10
PASS: Ohio State,
Michigan, Penn State, Purdue
Ohio State survived a bad day by JT Barrett, and rushed
for 290 yards and 4 TDs as a team to pull away from upset minded Indiana in a
38-17 win in Columbus. The Buckeyes have still not allowed a rushing TD this
season, the only team in FBS football to claim that mark.
Michigan allowed just 22 total yards and no 1st
downs until the 4th quarter, and beat Rutgers 78-0 on the road in
Big 10 play. It was the single largest win by Michigan since beating Chicago
85-0 in 1939. Michigan outgained Rutgers 600-39 in total yards.
Penn State bounced back from some disappointing football
this season to beat previously unbeaten Maryland 38-14 at home. Trace McSorley
passed for 2 scores and ran for another in the win for the Nittany Lions.
David Blough passed for one score and ran for another,
and Purdue won on a FG in OT over Illinois in the Big 10 version of the Toilet
Bowl. Brian Lankford-Johnson recorded his 1st 100 yard game at
Purdue.
FAIL: Indiana,
Rutgers, Iowa, Minnesota, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan State
Indiana managed just 99 yards rushing on 40 carries, and
Ohio State never had any doubt as the Hoosiers fell 38-17. Indiana finished well
below their total offense average with just 261 yards.
Rutgers was shut out for the 2nd straight
week, and has given up 136 points the last two weeks in that process. The
Scarlet Knights finished with just 39 yards.
Maryland was shut out in the second half on the road in
their 38-14 loss to Penn State. Perry Hills and Tyrell Pigrome were both ineffective
in the loss, the first under new coach DJ Durkin.
Illinois fumbled the ball away in the 1st OT,
and the Illini fell to Purdue, who scored 7 points last week, 34-31. The Illini
committed 12 penalties on the game for 125 yards on the day.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: Big 12
Big 12
PASS: Oklahoma,
Oklahoma State, Kansas State
DeDe Westbrook caught 12 passes for 232 yards and
Oklahoma set a pace that Texas could not keep up with in the second half on the
way to a 45- 40 win in Dallas. Despite 4 turnovers on the day, the Sooners only
gave up 3 points off of those turnovers. OU picked up 273 yards in the 3rd
quarter alone.
Oklahoma State did just enough to earn a pass this week,
scoring 17 points in the final quarter to come back from a near disastrous loss
to Iowa State. Mason Rudolph passed for 351 yards and 4 scores, and James
Washington caught 8 passes for 152 yards and 2 of those scores on the way to
the win.
Kansas State scored 13 points in the final quarter, and
Texas Tech did not get the game within one score until 0:05 left, and held off
Texas Tech despite getting no real star performances on offense. It was a must
win game for the Wildcats to keep from falling to 0-2 in Big 12 play.
FAIL: Texas, TCU,
Kansas, Iowa State, Texas Tech
Texas scored just 3 points off of 4 turnovers, and the
defense, now run by coach Charlie Strong gave up 273 yards in the 3rd
quarter alone. The Longhorn defense has been abysmal all season, and the cure
is nowhere in sight. The Horns also gave up 214 yards to Samaje Perine, who had
been off to a slow start in 2016.
Iowa State collapsed late for the 2nd straight
week in a 38-31 loss to Oklahoma State that the Cyclones controlled for 3
quarters. The Cyclones lost despite picking up 26 1st downs on the
day, compared to just 20 for OSU.
TCU needed to outscore Kansas 10-0 to escape from a dead
panned performance on the road against hapless Kansas, 24-23. TCU committed 4
turnovers on the game, matched only by the ineptitude of Kansas, who also
turned it over 4 times. TCU held the football for just under 25 minutes on the
day.
As for Kansas, Ryan Willis tossed 3 picks, and the
Jayhawks collapsed in the 4th quarter in the loss. Kansas has now
lost 14 consecutive games in Big 12 play. Matthew Wyman missed a 54 yard FG with
1:21 left that would have pulled the upset.
Texas Tech collapsed in the 4th quarter (a
repetitive tale in Big 12 play) and gave up 13 points to allow Kansas State to
pull away. It would seem that the annual October/November collapse has begun in
Lubbock.
Bilo's College Football PASS/FAIL Reports Week 6: MAC
MAC
PASS: Ohio,
Toledo, Akron, Kent State, Central Michigan, Western Michigan
Ohio used 4 turnovers, and played a balanced game in
narrowly holding off Bowling Green in MAC play. The Bobcats used a 20 point 2nd
quarter to keep the pace even in the win.
Toledo was neck and neck with Eastern Michigan at the
half, but pulled away in the 2nd half on the way to a 35-20 win.
Logan Woodside passed for 4 TDs, and Toledo has won 10 straight over the
Eagles.
Tra’Von Chapman passed for 3 TDs, and rushed for another,
as Akron pulled away to beat Miami (Ohio) in MAC play, 35-13. The Zips have now
won 6 straight MAC contests.
Kent State finally showed some signs of life this week,
beating Buffalo 44-20 on the road. QB Nick Holley did his damage on the ground,
rushing for 224 yards and 4 TDs in the win for the Golden Flashes.
Central Michigan rested on a 14 point 2nd
quarter, and managed to hold off Ball State 24-21 in MAC play. Cooper Rush
passed for 270 yards and is now just 2 TDs away from tying for the all-time MAC
TD passing record. The Chippewas scored a late TD on defense to hold off the
Cardinals.
Western Michigan is now 6-0 for the first time since 1945
after beating Northern Illinois 45-20 today. WMU snapped a 7 game losing streak
to NIU, and Corey Davis caught 6 passes for 122 yards and 2 TDs, and is the
leading receiver in FBS play this season, and holds the school record for TD
receptions with 40.
FAIL: Bowling
Green, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Buffalo, Ball State, Northern Illinois
Bowling Green had a 4 game winning streak against Ohio
snapped in their loss to the Bobcats. James Morgan had has 2 TD passes made irrelevant
by tossing 3 picks in the loss.
Eastern Michigan was held to just 62 yards rushing, and
allowed 220 yards on the ground to Toledo, and a close game got away from them
late in their loss to Toledo. EMU has only won 11 times all-time against the
Rockets.
Miami gave up 14 points off turnovers, rolled up only 260
yards, and turned the ball over 3 times in a loss to Akron. Miami was forced to
start a freshman at QB due to injury, and it did not go well.
Buffalo gave up 430 yards to previously lifeless Kent
State, and 341 of those came on the ground in a 24 point loss to the hapless
Golden Flashes. The Bulls gave up 7.6 yards per carry on the day.
Ball State gave up 422 yards, and rolled up 3360 of their
own, and gave up a late defensive TD to CMU to fall short today, 24-21. The
Cardinals ran 69 plays on the day.
Anthony Maddie tossed a pair of interceptions, and NIU
fell to just 1-5 on the season after a 45-30 loss to WMU that snapped a 7 game
winning streak against the Broncos. It’s the first time that former Husky and
WMU coach PJ Fleck has beaten his former school.
