Russell Wilson and the Wisconsin Badgers recorded an impressive home victory over Nebraska to setup a legitimate shot at playing in the national title game if they can run the table and receive some help in the form of an Oklahoma loss. Clemson shot into the top-10 with a road win at Virginia Tech. Meanwhile, LSU, Oklahoma, Alabama, Boise State and Stanford continue to rack convincing victories to remain undefeated. LaMichael James, punt returns and all, helps Oregon keep pace as the leader of the one-loss teams. The Les Miles • Bryan Lazare of Tiger Bait: "LSU defensive linemen accounted for 30 tackles with 6½ coming behind the line of scrimmage. Tackle Michael Brockers and backup end Barkevious Mingo each made four tackles. Mingo recorded a sack and a quarterback-hurry. Two freshmen also made their presence felt in backup roles. Tackle Ego Ferguson had three tackles, while end Jermaurio Rasco made two stops. Both players combined for a tackle behind the line of scrimmage. Walk-on tackle Dennis Johnson got an opportunity to play and made two tackles. "Our defensive line is a big strong group of men who motor in and motor out," Tigers coach Les Miles said. "Any team will find rushing yards hard to get. I felt like our whole defense played very well, but I don't know if they were impassioned. They were intense and did what they were supposed to do." " The Nick Saban • Roll Bama Roll: "The biggest offensive concern for 'Bama moving forward might be the clear lack of a reliable short passing game. With no real size on the outside, Alabama wide receivers struggled against the Gators to fight for positioning with Florida defensive backs and convert in situations where such a passing game is crucial. Aside from one extremely impressive third quarter catch by Marquis Maze, 'Bama had no real success in the short passing game except when the football went to either Brad Smelley or Michael Williams. That ultimately proved to be harmless last night in Gainesville, but against a team like LSU that shortcoming could prove fatal." The Bob Stoops • Crimson and Cream Machine: "The 2011 Oklahoma Sooners are slowly putting together the pieces for a championship caliber season. Its still a work in progress but some of the pieces still to add to the resume are an undefeated season and more play makers on offense. Obviously the undefeated season is on a week-by-week basis but the play maker issue may have been resolved. In the last two weeks Jaz Reynolds has caught ten passes for 234 yards and a touchdown. While those certainly aren't "Ryan Broyles" type numbers its more than enough (as Reynolds proved Saturday night) for a third receiving option." The Bret Bielema • Matt Zemek of Scout.com: "The one remaining question for Wisconsin is not a local or regional one in the Big Ten, but a national one: Can Russell Wilson avoid the proverbial "one bad game" that could deny the Badgers a shot at the national title? Wisconsin should be favored in every remaining game it plays, but Wilson will face defenses that can play much better than Nebraska's ever can (at least in 2011). If Wilson doesn't give a game away, two results - losses by Oklahoma and Clemson - will put the kings of the Big Ten in the big show on Monday, January 9, 2012. The narrative has been established. The drama is waiting to unfold. Let's see how Wisconsin handles a bulls-eye in a conference it currently owns with two-fisted totality." The Chris Petersen • Brian Murphy of the Idaho Statesman: "Missed field goals got all the headlines after Boise State’s overtime loss to Nevada last year, but the Broncos would never have been in that position late on that November night had their defense not been gashed repeatedly by quarterback Colin Kaepernick & Co. Boise State’s defensive players remembered. And, if they didn’t, coach Chris Petersen gave them a reminder last week. Of not only last year’s second-half debacle, but a string of poor second-half efforts by the defense in recent years against the Wolf Pack.. When Boise State held a 30-0 lead late in the third quarter, the Wolf Pack had 11 drives, none lasting longer than six plays or advancing more than 18 yards. Nine of the drives lasted three plays or less. Four resulted in negative yards." The Mike Gundy • Gina Mizell of the Oklahoman: "Sporting a suit and an orange tie while sitting alongside Rece Davis, Lou Holtz and Mark May, Mike Gundy was all over your television as a guest analyst during ESPN's and ABC's college football coverage Saturday. He broke down what makes Nebraska's Taylor Martinez a dangerous running quarterback and the keys behind the Cowboys' comeback win at Texas A&M the previous week. He praised Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore and Georgia Tech's option attack.. I'm sure Gundy would have much rather spent his Saturday off studying film or spending time with his family. But he was smart. Despite the bye, Gundy and OSU did everything they could to keep the Cowboys at the forefront following one of the biggest victories in school history." The David Shaw • Leslie of Go Mighty Card: "If there had been any concerns about the Stanford offense through the first three games this season, most worries focused on slow starts, vanilla play calling, and the rebuilding offensive line. On Saturday night against UCLA, Andrew Luck led his team to scores on all three first half possessions, the Cardinal rushed for more than 200 yards, and Drew Terrell threw a pass to Andrew Luck. I think we can put those concerns out of our minds for a while." Dabo Swinney • Heather Dinich of ESPN: "Heading into this season, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was the one coach in the ACC facing the most pressure. He was coming off the program's first losing season since 1998, and had lost to rival South Carolina. Again. Now? Now Swinney is looking like the ACC's Coach of the Year, while two of his Atlantic Division colleagues are looking for help." The Chip Kelly • Rob Moseley of the Register-Guard: "the best punt returner in college football so far this season is LaMichael James, who enters Thursday night atop the country in rushing yardage, all-purpose running and punt returns. One year after Cliff Harris’ fourth punt return touchdown of last season helped the Ducks escape Berkeley with a win, the Golden Bears (3-1, 0-1) now must contend with perhaps the nation’s best running back fielding punts for Oregon.. James came to the job through an odd set of circumstances. And it’s not only opposing coaching staffs that are forced to make tough decisions because of James’ talents as a returner; his own coaches have to wrestle with just how much to lean on James in that role given the heavy load he carries on offense.. And now that James has averaged 22.8 yards on five returns, with one touchdown, Oregon isn’t inclined to remove him from the role, at least while games are close and James feels fresh." The Bobby Petrino • Bryan Fischer of CBS Sports: "Broderick Green is used to competing. He's no stranger to coming back either. He has done it over and over, year after year. Highly recruited out of Little Rock (Ark.) Pulaski Academy, the four-star tailback stunned many on Signing Day in 2007 by spurning hometown Arkansas and committing to Southern California despite the presence of other highly touted running backs. After limited playing time thanks to injuries, he transferred to Arkansas following his redshirt freshman season. He returned mostly to be with his ailing grandmother, whose health had gotten progressively worse while he was in Los Angeles.. Green battled over the summer, working extensively with the training staff to return to practice three weeks ago. In his first game back, he completed Arkansas' comeback with a 3-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter before sealing the game with a 10-yard run for a first down with less than a minute left. Who better to finish off the Razorbacks' rally than Mr. Comeback himself? "I worked so hard over the summer from the course of my injury," Green said. "I prayed about the situation. I'm glad I had the chance to come back and help my team." "
