Preview: Cincinnati at Brigham Young.

When: 8:00 PM ET, Friday, October 16, 2015
Where: Lavell Edwards Stadium, Provo, Utah


BYU attempts to defeat an American Athletic Conference team for the third consecutive week when it hosts offensively-gifted Cincinnati on Friday night. The Cougars recorded at least 500 yards in victories over Connecticut and East Carolina the last two games and needs a similar performance against the Bearcats, who stand fifth in the nation in total offense.

Tanner Mangum threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns last week in the 45-38 win over East Carolina, but his status for BYU’s first meeting with the Bearcats is uncertain due to a hamstring injury. Cincinnati’s starting quarterback is likely a game-time decision as well with Gunner Kiel cleared for contact this week and joining Hayden Moore in an open competition for the spot. “It’s good to know we have two quarterbacks that we feel good about,” Bearcats coach Tommy Tuberville told reporters of his signal callers, who have 12 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. Cincinnati comes in off a bye week after defeating Miami (Fla.) 34-23 at home on Oct. 1.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Off

ABOUT CINCINNATI (3-2): Kiel missed the Miami game after suffering a neck injury early in the previous contest against Memphis, and Moore has thrown for 836 and six scores in his absence. Whoever gets the nod has six different players with at least 192 yards receiving to look for, led by Shaq Washington’s 392 on 34 catches. The Bearcats are averaging 587.2 yards overall while recording 11 touchdowns on the ground, and that attack should be bolstered by the return of tailback Mike Boone (ankle), who has missed the last two games.

ABOUT BYU (4-2): Mangum has completed 62.5 percent of his passes – 24-for-33 last week -- since replacing injured Taysom Hill in the opener, and fellow freshman Beau Hoge is preparing as his backup. Leading rusher Adam Hine (ankle) has missed the last two weeks, but Algernon Brown has totaled 229 yards and three touchdowns on the ground to go along with a TD reception in his place. Mitch Mathews (team-high 30 receptions) is one of three players with at least 339 yards receiving and leads the team with six touchdown catches.

EXTRA POINTS

1. BYU WR Devon Blackmon (27 catches, 342 yards) and WR Mitchell Juergens (26, 341) join Mathews in the top 90 in the nation in receiving yards.

2. Washington has registered at least one reception in 31 straight games for the Bearcats and has had three or more in the last 19.

3. The Cougars are 21-5 all time against teams currently in the AAC.

Preview: Houston at Tulane.

When: 9:00 PM ET, Friday, October 16, 2015
Where: Yulman Stadium, New Orleans, Louisiana


Tulane has given up a lot of points to high-quality opponents already this season, and it might be about to go up against the best offense it’s seen yet. The Green Wave will try to find a way to stay in the game when they host undefeated Houston on Friday.

The Cougars are sixth in the nation in scoring at an average of 46.4 points and are just as strong on the ground (287.2 yards rushing) as through the air (286.2 yards passing). “Balance is being able to win the game the way the defense is telling you how to win the game,” Houston coach Tom Herman told reporters. “… That is the goal of our offense: to be balanced. Not necessarily 50/50; we don't care.” The offense will go up against a Tulane team that surrendered an average of 50.3 points in its three losses, including a 49-10 setback at Temple last week. The Green Wave will send Devin Powell in at quarterback after Tanner Lee sustained a concussion in last week’s loss.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU. LINE: Houston -19

ABOUT HOUSTON (5-0, 2-0): Herman’s success with the Cougars is causing his name to be mentioned for openings at USC and South Carolina, but he remains focused on this week against the Green Wave. “Tulane is extremely talented on defense,” Herman told reporters. “Their front four, they are the best front four that we will play all year, which coincides nicely with our lack of offensive line depth. They will be a challenge defensively and offensively.” Houston has struggled more on the road, where wins over Louisville and Tulsa came by a total of 17 points.

ABOUT TULANE (2-3, 1-1): Lee suffered the concussion in the first half against Temple but symptoms did not present until the fourth quarter, after a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter had become a blowout in the other direction. Powell got spot duty at quarterback in each of the last three seasons and is 5-for-8 for 69 yards and a touchdown in limited duty in 2015. “(Powell) gives us the ability to run it a little bit more,” Green Wave head coach Curtis Johnson told reporters. “He can tuck it under and run. He’s big, he’s physical and has a strong arm. I’m excited to see him play.”

EXTRA POINTS

1. Houston OL Zach Johnson (knee) and OL Josh Thomas (ankle) will both undergo surgery and likely will miss the remainder of the season.

2. Tulane LB Nico Marley ranks third in the AAC with 29 solo tackles.

3. The Green Wave secured a 31-24 win at Houston last season but is 2-6 against the Cougars at home.

Boise State at Utah State

When: 9:00 PM ET, Friday, October 16, 2015
Where: Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium, Logan, Utah


Boise State doesn't have too many roadblocks to work around in the Mountain West but Friday's visit to Utah State certainly qualifies as one for the No. 20 Broncos. Boise State is tied with Utah State and Air Force for the Mountain Division lead and the winner of this contest takes a large step toward landing a spot in the conference title game.

The Broncos may be without sophomore running back Jeremy McNichols, who suffered a head injury in last Saturday's victory over Colorado State. McNichols has scored a nation-best 14 touchdowns through six games while rushing for a team-high 485 yards. Utah State sophomore quarterback Kent Myers starts for the third straight game in place of injured senior Chuckie Keeton (knee) as the Aggies attempt to win their 12th consecutive home game. "It's going to be a major challenge for us, but one that I know we're up for and one we're excited about," Utah State coach Matt Wells said in a press conference. "We haven't beaten them yet since we have been in this league, but the fact that the winner is in the driver's seat for the Mountain Division makes it a big game."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network. LINE: Boise State -9.5.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West): The Broncos have outscored their opponents 204-24 during a four-game winning streak as freshman quarterback Brett Rypien has pumped life into the offense by completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 1,057 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. Senior receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes has caught a team-best 35 passes and moved into third place on the school career receptions list with 205, one ahead of Titus Young (204 from 2007-10). Senior cornerback Donte Deayon and senior safety Darian Thompson are tied for the team lead with four interceptions and Thompson nabbed his 18th career interception last Saturday to surpass the Mountain West mark set by Utah's Eric Weddle (2003-06).

ABOUT UTAH STATE (3-2, 2-0): Myers is 7-1 as a starter, has completed 65.2 percent of his passes this season and is coming off an effort in which he passed for a career-high 260 yards in last Saturday's 56-14 trouncing of Fresno State. Myers is also averaging nine yards per carry while racking up 180 rushing yards, third on the squad behind junior Devante Mays (259) and sophomore LaJuan Hunt (235). The Aggies have forced 10 turnovers (five fumbles, five interceptions) over their last three games and are led by junior inside linebacker Nick Vigil (team-high 52 tackles) and junior free safety Devin Centers (team-best two interceptions).

EXTRA POINTS

1. Boise State has won the past 12 meetings and owns a 15-4 edge in the series.

2. The Aggies have won 20 of their last 22 home games.

3. Broncos junior DE Kamalei Correa has three sacks this season and 16 in his career.

I junped on on that number as soon as it came out at +7.... I think Cincy is one of the most explosive in the country and byu is hit or miss offensively... Can't imagine Cincy getting blown out here. Byu isn't good enough on both sides of the ball to beat them handily, Cincy was my play for 3*
