College Football Recaps Assess Team Grades, Player Rankings, and Poll Movements
Anonymous
Baylor beat Colorado after an uneven offensive showing, with DJ Lagway throwing for 221 yards and a touchdown and Dawson Pendergrass adding 85 rushing yards; Colorado benched Julian Lewis at halftime. Tennessee lost to Texas, and its offensive line was heavily criticized after allowing 10 sacks, while its other position groups also drew mixed assessments. Rutgers earned its first win of the season, routing Howard 58-7, and three Scarlet Knights offensive linemen received PFF Big Ten Team of the Week honors. Texas Tech improved to 4-0 with a 49-14 win over Sam Houston State but stayed at No. 10 in the Coaches Poll; Houston and Utah moved up, while Penn State fell eight places.
