Ohio State is without quarterback J.T. Barrett, who suffered a season-ending injury over the weekend, as the Buckeyes go up against Heisman candidate running back Melvin Gordon and the Badgers. Gus Johnson, Charles Davis and Molly McGrath are live from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at 8:00 PM ET with pregame coverage featuring Stone, Klatt and Wannstedt beginning at 7:00 PM ET. College football insider Bruce Feldman is on site filing reports for AMERICA’S PREGAME, FOX SPORTS LIVE and FOX COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREGAME on Friday and Saturday.

  • Titans-Colts Supplemental Notes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 11, 2020 TITANS-COLTS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES SIMMONS MAKING PLAYS: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons earned his first AFC Defensive Player of the Week award after helping to produce a pair of takeaways during last Sunday’s win against the Chicago Bears. In the third quarter, he forced a fumble that resulted in a 63-yard touchdown return by Titans cornerback Desmond King II, and he added a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter. Simmons, who also batted down a pass against the Bears, increased his totals in his second NFL season to two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. In six of the seven games he has played this season—he missed one contest while on the reserve/COVID-19 list—he has either a sack, a pass defensed, a forced fumble or a fumble recovery. Simmons is one of only three NFL defensive linemen this season with a minimum of two sacks, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The other two members of the group are J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans and Benson Mayowa of the Seattle Seahawks.

    IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE BULL-ED STATEMENT Iowa rallied, but Wisconsin found a way to grind out a 26-24 win over the Hawkeyes last Saturday in Iowa City and announce that the road to the Big Ten West Division title would run through Madison a week later. Marcus Trotter (59), Konrad Zagzebski (91), Peniel Jean (21), Derek Landisch (30) and the Badgers walked out of Kinnick Stadium with the Heartland Trophy for the third-consecutive time. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF There was nowhere to throw, but seniors Rob Havenstein (left) and Kyle Costigan made sure there was room to run for Joel Stave, who tucked the ball and covered 12 yards to convert a critical third down that allowed the Badgers to run out the clock on a 26-24 win over Iowa last Saturday. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE LIKE IT’S 1999 Wisconsin’s Sara Disanza turned plenty of heads ― including nearly the entire feld as she passed everyone but champion Kate Avery of Iona ― with her runner-up fnish at the 2014 NCAA Championship last Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana. The sophomore’s showing was the best for a member of the Badgers’ women’s team since 1999. PHOTO BY WALT MIDDLETON IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE FOLLOW-THROUGH FRANK Frank Kaminsky reminded folks at home to always follow through, as he stroked in a season-high 26 points on 11-of-13 shooting ― including 4-for-5 from 3-point range ― in Wisconsin’s win over Boise State last Saturday at the Kohl Center.

  • NFL Draft 2015 Scouting Report: RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin
    2015 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT MARCH 17, 2015 NFL Draft 2015 Scouting Report: RB Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin *Our RB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. *We use the term “Power RB” to separate physically bigger, more between-the-tackles–capable RBs from our “speed RBs” group. “Speed RBs” are physically smaller, but much faster/quicker, and less likely to flourish between the tackles. If you’ve read any of my previous writings on Gordon, or listened to me on that recent podcast, then you already know I’m a little ‘negative’ on Melvin Gordon. Allow me to further shape this argument, because I don’t want you to think that we feel Gordon will ‘bust’ in the NFL, or assume he is a fraud of an NFL prospect. I realize that Gordon belongs in the NFL and is a possible NFL starter. He has the athleticism and performance data which shows he belongs in the NFL. My main point on Gordon (since Sept. 2014) has been that he is more human than superstar…and in that sense he causes some serious NFL-valuation concerns—because so many people have his value jacked sky high. There is no one walking the planet who thinks Melvin Gordon is ‘bad’ for the NFL, but the problem is that there are not many who feel Gordon is just ‘good’. The majority of analysts have locked-in that he is a ‘no-doubt’ franchise RB in the NFL.

  • RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State
    2018 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT FEBRUARY 5, 2018 2018 Early Draft Scouting/Fantasy Valuation: RB Saquon Barkley, Penn State *Our QB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. The question I have received most often in the early 2018 NFL Draft process, as it pertains to Dynasty- Fantasy Rookie Drafts is “How good is Saquon Barkley?” Last summer, I did a preview scouting report on Barkley…watched a little tape, input what we performance numbers we had, estimated his measurables (I’ll post that 2017 report below this piece if you’d like to look at). I did a similar drive-by scouting on Barkley again (pre-NFL Combine) recently. What I saw in 2018 is the same as I saw in 2017… I’m just going to share my notes/thoughts in a random bullet point format… -- I always see Doug Martin when I watch him run. Very fast feet, short steps. Can really hit the jets and isn’t great between the tackles as a physical runner but his quick feet allow him to get by. Not as tough as Martin up the middle, but is a fast, choppy, high-effort 217-222 pound runner who can dodge some bullets in congestion. You might scoff at Martin as a comparison, but a couple years ago he made a run at the league rushing title…doing so on a terrible offense that couldn’t block. When Martin was clean, sober and at his best…he was really good in the NFL.
