Buckeyes star TB Wells out for Saturday (AP) Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells will not play when the third-ranked Buckeyes take on Ohio on Saturday. Wells injured his right foot in last weekend's 43-0 victory over Youngstown State. He has not practiced with the team this week and has spent much of the time wearing a protective boot. Vandy upsets No. 24 S. Carolina 24-17 (AP) Vanderbilt heard all the talk from South Carolina after beating the then-No. 6 Gamecocks last October. It made the Commodores mad. And for the first time since 1992, they finally did something about it on their own turf. Chris Nickson threw for a touchdown and ran for another and Vanderbilt beat a ranked opponent on its own field Thursday night, upsetting No. Gators try to snap long skid vs. 'Canes (AP) Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow is too young to have witnessed much of the history of the Miami-Florida rivalry, and the teams don't play often enough for him to hear about it, either. What he does know -- maybe all he needs to know -- is that the Gators haven't beaten the Hurricanes since 1985, a six-game losing streak in an on-again, off-again series that has Florida's star quarterback and his... West Virginia to face E. Carolina, Hanna (AP) With West Virginia's speedy offense coming to town, Skip Holtz jokingly asked East Carolina's groundskeepers to leave the sprinklers on at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and turn the grass field into a mud pit. That might not be necessary. Tropical Storm Hanna could take care of it for him. The rain-producing storm system expected to strike the North Carolina coast hours before Saturday's kickoff might... Georgia to do some scouting vs. C. Mich. (AP) While Georgia figures to get another easy win on Saturday, the kind that didn't do them much good in the rankings this past week, the game against Central Michigan could serve a very useful purpose down the road. The No. 2 Bulldogs will get a chance to do some advance scouting for Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Oklahoma coach Stoops wary of Cincinnati (AP) Even growing up in Ohio, Bob Stoops admits he never paid much attention to the football program at the University of Cincinnati. In Youngstown, he was caught between Cleveland and Pittsburgh and his mind seldom wandered to the opposite end of the state. "Youngstown's a long way from Cincinnati," said Stoops, who is Oklahoma's head coach. Wake carries weight of struggling ACC (AP) Wake Forest, Atlantic Coast Conference savior. While that sentence would have drawn laughter just a few years ago when the Demon Deacons were routinely scheduled for homecoming, it's now reality. With the ACC reeling from losses last week by favorites Clemson and Virginia Tech, and with Florida State and Miami in down cycles, the 20th-ranked Demon Deacons will carry the league's banner into... Ohio excited to play at Ohio State (AP) This is not just another game for Kris Luchsinger. Or, for that matter, a lot of his Ohio teammates. The Bobcats' defensive end, a native of Columbus, had to fight his emotions while casually discussing his team's trip to play No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday. "Growing up I've always been surrounded by Ohio State fans. ASU looks to continue Stanford mastery (AP) Arizona State has swept the last two games against Stanford by a combined 79-6. Coach Dennis Erickson thinks that's irrelevant as his 15th-ranked Sun Devils prepare to face the Cardinal in Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday night. "They have just improved in every area from a year ago," said Erickson, who led ASU to a 41-3 romp in Palo Alto last season. Penn St. dismisses 1 player, benches 3 (AP) A Penn State football player has been kicked off the team for an undisclosed violation of team rules, and three others will miss this weekend's game against Oregon State because of a separate, off-field issue coach Joe Paterno said Thursday. Reserve defensive back Willie Harriott is off the squad, Paterno said Thursday night on his weekly radio show. [ Back ]
