In the "bad news" column:
Two previously starting white stars for Arkansas State have been removed from their football duties, as neither RB Derek Lawson nor WR Taylor Stockemer were allowed to contribute in a blowout victory over Memphis. Lawson was given a token pass for a touchdown in the third, after ASU had already scored 40, but then wasn't used for the rest of the game.
Indiana's offense has been re-tooled for their black quarterback (which failed, since they still lost). Matt Perez split carries with the QB and a black RB. Perez will still get carries as the short-yardage back, but he will likely be required to add significant weight.
Mitchell Bailey, as it turns out, IS eligible for the ULM Warhawks. He's just not getting to showcase his considerable talents. He got three token carries in ULM's blowout victory over Grambling.
Denard Robinson, with his 46% completion percentage and 3 INTs, will be hailed as a Heisman frontrunner after Notre Dame fell asleep and allowed Michigan to steal a come-from-behind victory.
Thomas Roberson is nowhere to be found for Tulsa. He's not injured, according to the Tulsa boards.
Jordan Jenkins is finally getting to play for Oregon State. However, they are terrible this year. I'm guessing graduation hit their lines hard. Jenkins is a speedy and agile runner who would be a star on a competent team. No chance of a breakout season for him with OSU, though.
Arkansas's stud DE Jake Bequette went down early in the game with a knee injury. He didn't return. I was watching the game. The replay didn't show much, but Bequette's behavior after the injury was not encouraging. Bequette's NFL future was already damaged after the Arkansas staff decided to use him as a hybrid OLB/DE this season. His size-speed combination makes him an excellent candidate for an NFL DE, but he has no experience as an OLB (and he's not quite fast enough for that position, either). Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson also went down at end of the first half after hard contact. He didn't play the second half, which I'm sure greatly pleased Arkansas's black quarterback-loving Off. Coordinator.
