Preview: North Carolina at Pittsburgh

When: 7:00 PM ET, Thursday, October 29, 2015
Where: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


North Carolina attempts to build a seven-game winning streak for the first time since 1997 when it visits Pittsburgh on Thursday in a battle between two of the ACC Coastal Division’s three unbeaten teams. The Tar Heels have limited five of their last six opponents to 14 points or fewer while 24th-ranked Pittsburgh has won four straight contests – all by seven points or fewer.

“If it’s a close game you have to step up and make something happen,” Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi told reporters. “Our offense did it (last) weekend and our defense did it the past couple (weekends).” Pittsburgh quarterback Nathan Peterman has thrown six touchdown passes with no interceptions during the win streak and his top target Tyler Boyd is one of the nation’s most productive receivers. North Carolina, which hosts the other unbeaten Coastal squad Duke next week, boasts the league’s best passing defense (137.3 yards against per game) and senior quarterback Marquise Williams leads the top-ranked offense in the ACC. “Last five games are going to be tough,” Williams told the Raleigh News & Observer. “We’ve just got to stick together as a team.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: North Carolina -3

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (6-1, 3-0 ACC): Williams has completed 66.9 percent of his passes and thrown four interceptions in the last six games after tossing three in the opener. Quinshad Davis (30 catches, 328 yards) is one of four Tar Heels receivers to have accumulated at least 300 yards this season and needs two receptions to pass Hakeem Nicks (181) for the school record. Elijah Hood has rushed for 100 or more yards four times in 2015 – including each of the last two games – and scored eight TDs while Williams is gaining seven yards per carry.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH (6-1, 4-0): Boyd leads the league in catches (8.8) and receiving yards (81.5) per game while completing both of his pass attempts and rushing for 68 yards. “He’s done it all,” Narduzzi told reporters. “I don’t know why people aren’t talking about him for the Heisman.” Qadree Ollison has filled in nicely after James Conner was lost for the season with a knee injury, totaling 662 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, while the Panthers boast 22 sacks – second in the ACC and three more than all of last season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Tar Heels have outscored Pittsburgh 74-62 while winning the last two meetings and lead the series 6-3 overall.

2. Williams needs 14 yards to become the fifth ACC QB to rush for at least 2,000 in his career and has accounted for 76 career TDs -- three shy of Darian Durant’s North Carolina record.

3. Boyd needs 76 yards to become the third Pitt receiver to reach 3,000 in his career and 138 to pass Antonio Bryant for first on the school’s all-time list.

[h=1]Preview: West Virginia at Texas Christian[/h]When: 7:30 PM ET, Thursday, October 29, 2015
Where: Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Texas


Third-ranked TCU looks for its eighth consecutive win this season and 16th straight overall victory when it hosts West Virginia on Thursday in a Big 12 contest. The Horned Frogs are battling Baylor and Oklahoma State for the conference crown and are thriving behind an offense that has topped 600 yards five times this season.

Senior quarterback Trevone Boykin is a Heisman Trophy candidate but senior receiver Josh Doctson is shattering the TCU record books with 60 receptions for 1,067 yards and 12 touchdowns -- the latter two marks surpass his own school records set last season. "I'm just stepping up, trying to be better than I was last year," Doctson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I guess the results are the numbers that are being put up. I'm not really drooling over how much success I'm having this year. I'm just glad that we're 7-0." West Virginia has lost three consecutive games and the thought of having to outscore the Horned Frogs isn't one coach Dana Holgorsen wants to entertain. "I would like to get to a point where we can," Holgorsen said at a press conference. "I've been involved in some games where it's been fairly high scoring-games. We just haven't been there yet."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1. LINE: TCU -14.

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (3-3, 0-3 Big 12): Junior quarterback Skyler Howard is a native of Fort Worth and he returns home with stats of 1,566 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. Junior running back Wendell Smallwood has rushed for 678 yards and five touchdowns while big-play sophomore receiver Shelton Gibson (23 catches, six touchdowns) is averaging 23.5 yards per reception and 30.2 yards on kickoffs with one return score. The defense suffered a blow earlier this month when senior safety Karl Joseph (five interceptions) suffered a season-ending knee injury but the unit is receiving strong play from senior strong-side linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski (team-best 39 tackles) and senior middle linebacker Jared Barber (team-leading seven tackles for losses).

ABOUT TCU (7-0, 4-0): Boykin has been superb by passing for 2,539 yards and 25 touchdowns against just five interceptions but struggled badly against the Mountaineers last season when he was 12-of-30 for 166 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Doctson has recorded five straight 100-yard receiving outings and has also caught at least one touchdown pass in each of those games, while senior running back Aaron Green (632 yards, eight touchdowns) will attempt to rebound after having just seven yards on 12 carries in TCU's most-recent game against Iowa State. Junior defensive end Josh Carraway has a team-leading 4.5 sacks while senior free safety Derrick Kindred (42 tackles, one interception) excels in the back end.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The teams have split four previous meetings and Horned Frogs senior K Jaden Oberkrom was the hero last season by kicking a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give TCU a 31-30 victory.

2. The Mountaineers are 2-13 under Holgorsen when allowing more than 40 points.

3. Horned Frogs freshman WR KaVontae Turpin (upper-body injury) will likely miss the contest, leaving a hole in the return game as he is averaging 29.1 yards on kickoffs and 12.2 on punts.

[h=1]Preview: Oregon at Arizona State[/h]When: 10:30 PM ET, Thursday, October 29, 2015
Where: Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, Arizona


Two teams that have fallen short of expectations meet Thursday as Oregon visits Arizona State, which has lost eight straight in the series. The contest features two of the top running backs in the Pac-12 in Oregon’s Royce Freeman and Arizona State’s Demario Richard, who is expected to start after missing the Sun Devils’ 34-18 loss to Utah on Oct. 17 due to a knee injury.

Freeman ranks fourth nationally in rushing yards at 142.4 per game to power Oregon, which remained in the Pac-12 North race with a 26-20 win over Washington on Oct. 17. The victory marked the return of Ducks quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who threw two touchdown passes against the Huskies after missing 11 quarters due to a broken index finger. “He’s everything for them,” Arizona State coach Todd Graham told reporters. "That’s one of the things that’s caused them to struggle is not having him. He’s just so athletic and extends plays. He’s so dangerous when he’s scrambling around throwing the ball down the field.” Adams will need to be alert against an aggressive Sun Devils defense that blitzes as much as any team in the nation but ranks last in the Pac-12 with a minus-0.57 turnover ratio.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Arizona State -2.5

ABOUT OREGON (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12): The Ducks’ passing game received a boost against the Huskies with the season debut of wide receiver Darren Carrington, who caught two touchdown passes after missing the first six games of the season due to suspension. Defensive end DeForest Buckner has five sacks to lead a unit that held Washington in check after allowing a total of 1,171 yards in losses to Utah and Washington State. The Ducks have recorded 16 sacks over the last three games and shown improvement in the secondary, where two-way player Charles Nelson is set to make his third straight start at safety.

ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (4-3, 2-2): The Sun Devils failed to score an offensive touchdown in its last game and needs more consistency from quarterback Mike Bercovici, who ranks 10th in the conference in efficiency. Linebacker Salamo Fiso and safety Jordan Simone lead the Sun Devil defense, which ranks second in the Pac-12 against the rush but will be tested by Freeman and a Ducks offense that averages a league-leading 297.4 rushing yards. Arizona State also boasts a top kick returner in Tim White, who could be a difference-maker against an Oregon coverage unit that has allowed 22.9 yards per kickoff.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Arizona State is 19-5 at Sun Devil Stadium under Graham.

2. Oregon has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 75 straight games dating to Sept. 4, 2010.

3. Sun Devils WR D.J. Foster has caught a pass in an FBS-leading 47 consecutive games, one shy of the Pac-12 record held by Kareem Kelly of USC (1999-2002).

Game that looked huge in August but has lost its luster: Oregon at Arizona State on Thursday night. Loser will be 4-4 and neither team has an easy schedule afterward (ASU's is particularly tricky). This marks first time since 2008 that neither team is ranked entering the game (both were preseason top 15 this year). Ducks have won eight straight in the series. A loss would give Oregon four defeats before the end of October for the first time since 1997.

The last 3 TCU-WVU games have been decided by 3 OTs and a game-winning FG. We may be in for a great one

TCU and West Virginia, which meet again Thursday, have played three amazingly tight games as Big 12 foes, with those matchups decided by two overtimes and a FG as time expired. The stats have been close too. In those three meetings combined, TCU has 63 first downs to West Virginia's 62; West Virginia has 421 rushing yards to TCU's 409; and they both have forced nine turnovers apiece.

Pat Narduzzi was a perfect fit for Pittsburgh. If the Panthers can beat North Carolina at home on Thursday, the Panthers may be the team to beat in the ACC's Coastal Division. Remember, their only loss was on the road at Iowa thanks to a 57-yard field goal as time expired.

Pat Tillman's name will be on the back of every Arizona State player's jersey tonight vs Oregon.
