FAU throws more than anyone — 46.6 times per game — and owns the No. 3 passing offense in the country. When the Owls throw under 40 times, they’re 4–0. Over 40? 0–5. Tulane’s QB Jake Retzlaff leads the team in rushing (556 yards, 10 TDs) while the Green Wave defense just posted six sacks by six players. Sam Howard played last week on a broken leg — and still produced 5 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack.
Georgia ends its SEC slate with a historic first — No. 10 Texas under the lights in Athens, 7:30 on ABC. Georgia beat the Longhorns twice last season. Under Kirby Smart? 8–0 vs. top-10 teams at home. 15–2 vs. ranked opponents in Athens. 39–3 in the last 42 SEC regular season games. A résumé built for nights like this.
Arizona’s strength is clear: top-10 pass defense.
So is the weakness: 61st against the run and fresh off their third-highest rushing total allowed. Cincinnati shows up with a top-25 rushing offense behind an O-line that’s surrendered just two sacks in 10 games.
Mercer left last week’s 49–47 thriller with a SoCon title share and the league’s automatic FCS playoff bid. Here’s the situation: beat Chattanooga on Homecoming, finish undefeated in the conference, and become the first team since App State’s 2008–09 run to own back-to-back outright SoCon titles.
Clemson’s season hangs on a knife edge — two wins from bowl eligibility and one ACC game left to prove they still belong in the league’s heavyweight tier. The Tigers (4–5, 3–4 ACC) head to No. 21 Louisville on Thursday night with Cade Klubnik expected to play through both an ankle injury and a quad contusion, fighting to extend Clemson’s 21-year bowl streak. Louisville (7–2, 4–2 ACC), ranked No. 20 by the CFP, still has a path to Charlotte — but only if it survives the Tigers and chaos breaks loose above them.
