Daryll Clark, Penn St (Indiana)
The Hooisers are last in the Big Ten in pass defense, scoring defense, total defense and pass efficiency defense. Clark is the third most efficient passer in the Big Ten (Pryor, Juice). The upside is not huge as he will be handing the ball off plenty but 230-2 is very attainable. Look for PSU to get him back on track after his worst game as a starter last week at Iowa.

Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame (@ Navy)
Its all or nothing with this Clausen. Ice Man Jr. has had three games of 3:0 touchdown to interception ratios. He also has had at least two interceptions in five games. The Navy secondary is simply not athletic enough to hang with the likes of Michael Floyd and Golden Tate. Look for one of the better ones this weekend.

Jevan Snead, Ole Miss (La-Mon.)
In his only game against the a mid-major (Memphis) Snead posted 185 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. And that was his first start ever at Ole Miss. He has since played six SEC games and a road trip to Wake Forest. He has thrown two touchdowns in each of his last two games and that trend should continue against the likes of the Sun Belt.

Better Think Twice
Juice Williams, Illinois (Ohio St)
The Buckeyes are leading the Big Ten in pass defense, allowing a paltry 164 yards through the air. With revenge on the brain for Ohio State, Williams could be in for a long day. The Bucks also rank in the top ten nationally in total, scoring and pass efficiency defense as well.

Willie Tuitama, Arizona (@ Oregon)
In what is the hardest place to play in the Pac-10, Autzen Stadium has seen opponents average 235 yards passing per game. However, removing the Boise State game pushes that number down to 197 ypg. Also, they have allowed only 193 passing yards per game over their last three games. The Duck defense is much better than the numbers indicate, especially at home.

Chase Holbrook, New Mexico St (@ Fresno St)
Despite a solid fantasy output last week, Holbrook and his offensive line have struggled. The Aggie quarterback has thrown seven interceptions over the last four games with at least two picks in three of those (including a 0-point, 64-yard, 0 TD, 1 INT stat line against Boise two weeks ago). And playing in the Valley is not an easy fix for inconsistency.

Lower the expectations
Adam Weber, Minnesota (@ Wisconsin)
No Eric Decker and on the road means tough match-up.

Austin Davis, So. Miss (ECU)
Tough defense and running game uncertainty.

Brian Johnson, Utah (@ San Diego St)
He may not even attempt 10 passes (SDSU: 118th v. the run)

Running Back Rankings

Deserves a Second Look
Keegan Herring, Arizona St (Washington St)
The only team allowing more yards rushing than San Diego State is Washington State. The NCAA worst rush defense is allowing nearly 280 yards per game on the ground. Play all the Sun Devil options this week.

C.J. Spiller / James Davis, Clemson (Duke)
Spiller is coming off one of the best games of his season last week against one of the nation's best defenses in Florida St. In fact, he has compiled nearly 300 yards of total offense in his last two games. Duke should be no match for the two-headed tailback attack as they rank near the bottom of the ACC in every major defensive statistic.

Matt Asiata / Darrell Mack, Utah (@ San Diego St)
The Aztecs are allowing  273 rushing yards per game. The Utes will have to get those yards somehow. Asiata and Mack are the both solid options this week.

Harvey Unga, BYU (@ Air Force)
A shoulder injury has been hampering the big tailback for a little while now. Against a very hot Air Force squad, huge numbers are unlikely. AFA is surrendering only 17 points per game and only 304 yards of offense per game. Both rank third behind TCU and Utah (two pretty good defenses) in the Mountain West and are nationally in the top 25 in both categories. Also, the Falcons run the ball for 275 yards per game and should control the clock against the Cougars.

Toby Gerhart, Stanford (USC)
The best defense in all of the land is ranked number one nationally in total, scoring, pass and pass efficiency defense. They rank third nationally in rush defense. You have to out of your mind to play him this week.

Bench at your own risk
Kory Sheets, Purdue (@ Iowa)
Hawks allowing only 108 rush yards per game.

Nate Swift / Todd Peterson, Nebraska (@ Kansas St)
See Joe Ganz above.

Mike Thomas, Arizona (@ Oregon)
There seems to be a theme developing here with the Wildcat offense: Stay away. Thomas has underachieved all season as well.

Kerry Meier, Kansas (Texas)
The production from the former quarterback has begun to slow. Meier is averaging four catches per game and only 46 yards per game. He also has only scored two touchdowns in last five games. The  slow return of Dexton Fields should also cut into his production as well.

The SMU Mustangs
Wideouts Aldrick Robinson, Emmanuel Sanders and linebacker Justin Smart have been suspended for the rest of the regular season. Does this mean Justin Willis might catch a few passes?
