2018 college football Week 4: Live thread Johnny Hekker Jersey , streaming, TV info We’re getting close to the meat of the college football season. adness.Here’s what we’ve got today as conference play gets going and things turn up:Trap games for #2 Georgia and #8 Notre Dame12:00pm ET, ESPN/ABCOn ESPN, it’s #2 Georgia headed to take on Missouri. On paper, this one is a heavy tilt for Georgia as two-touchdown favorites. But Mizzou has offense. And NFL-worthy QB Drew Lock. And they’ve got the home crowd. He’ll have to avoid letting Georgia CB Deandre Baker steal the show after coming in at #10 on ESPN’s Mel Kiper’s updated big board (insider sub required). FWIW, Lock came in at #16...Meanwhile, Notre Dame heads to Wake Forest on ABC in what should be a closer battle. Still, the Irish have a wealth of talent that far surpasses Wake. ILB Te’von Coney, CB Julian Love and DT Jerry Tillery all look very impressive. The problem is that Notre Dame is living by the skin of their teeth. They beat then-ranked #14 Michigan, unranked Ball St. and unranked Vanderbilt (who albeit are a solid Vandy side this year) all by less than double digits. In other words, they’re winning one-possession games as the #8 team in the nation. Can they get by Wake this week playing things so tight to the line? Maybe. Can they survive the next three weeks that way against #7 Stanford, #12 Virginia Tech and an always disruptive Pitt? Hell no.#22 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama is an NFL talent preview3:30pm ET, CBSMight as well watch em on Saturday before we watch em on Sunday.Northern Illinois EDGE Sutton Smith gets a legit NFL platform against Florida St.3:30pm ET, ESPNUHaven’t heard of Smith yet? Yeah, nobody has. Mark him down. He’s comin.And an opportunity against FSU (as bad as they are) with plenty of chances to come because of NIU’s offense (as bad as they are) should be a big opportunity. If he shows out, expect him to be someone we re-visit later this season.#14 Mississippi St. at Kentucky is a great look for LBs for Rams fans7:00pm ET, ESPN2Imagine a world where Florida heads to Tennessee for a primetime matchups on ESPN, and we’re talking about MSU-UK.Well, here we are.The Bulldogs have EDGE Montez Sweat with QB Nick Fitzgerald and DT Jeffery Simmons to offer while UK has LB Josh Allen. Either Sweat or Allen would fit as a first-round selection for the Rams as of right now. Oh, and MSU is a top-15 team while UK is still smarting from having beaten Florida after a 31-game losing streak.#7 Stanford at #20 Oregon puts the Pac-12 in primetime8:00pm ET Michael Brockers Jersey , ABCStanford is stacked on offense, but Oregon has QB Justin Herbert who could be the first QB selected next spring. This one could be really fun with Stanford set to head out for Notre Dame next week while Oregon continues a rough Pac-12 gauntlet.Today should be an absolute blast.Here’s your watch guide with full schedule, TV listing and stream options.Los Angeles Rams versus Arizona Cardinals: Stock up, stock down The Los Angeles Rams are fresh off a massive win in week two versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams simply dominated this game from start to finish. They double-down at home in week three versus the Los Angeles Chargers. But before we get to that, let’s take a look at who’s in the stock up and stock down trends:Stock DownRB John KellyThis doesn’t even have anything to do with John Kelly himself. Malcolm Brown was the only RB outside of Todd Gurley who was active in week one with Justin Davis joining him in week two. After Gurley left the game with cramps sometime in the third quarter, Brown jumped in and the play didn’t falter at all. Brown had a massive pancake block where he destroyed Cardinals ILB Josh Bynes on a blitz pickup. Brown had 12 carries for 46 yards and proved why he’s worthy of being the second RB right now. Although Kelly looked electric in the preseason, it’s hard to see any road to playing time right now.Stock UpWR Brandin CooksCooks was a man amongst boys on Sunday. He registered seven receptions for 159 yards. Cooks is being used short (screens), intermediate (crossers/digs), and deep (posts/verts/corners). The Rams have a well thought-out and concise plan to use their weapon, and it’s worked to perfection so far. Cooks simply looks unstoppable at this point.KR/PR JoJo NatsonNatson only got to return one kick which went for 22 yards. His strong performance stems from the punt return side of it where Natson had six returns totaling 133 yards (22 yards on average) and a long of 60. He looked electric, explosive, and decisive. Look for Natson to continue to impress as a return man.P Johnny HekkerHekker only got to punt the ball twice in this game (41 yards on average, long of 60) though it was the extra curriculars that put him here! K Greg Zuerlein pulled his groin in the pregame warmup and that made Hekker the defacto kicker. Hekker went 1/1 on field goal tries (20 yards), kicked off, and even went 1/1 on extra points!CB Aqib TalibTalib was tremendous in week two (also week one) as he was shutdown in his coverage. Talib was targeted three times and didn’t allow a catch per pro football focus. Not only that, but he was breaking on the ball like a hawk registering two pass breakups. The trade for Aqib Talib is looking absolutely brilliant at this point in time.RG Austin BlytheBlythe was an absolute monster throughout the entire game. His run blocking was pristine as he collected three pancake blocks by my count. Not only that, but he did a great job in pass protection too as I counted only one slip up. He’s not the biggest or strongest guy but Blythe simply does the little things well. He’s a very smart player who’s mobility works in the offense and he’s gelling perfectly with the starting offensive line right now. There’s no way the Rams should pull Blythe from the starting right guard spot.DT Ndamukong SuhSuh was an absolute freak on Sunday. He absolutely destroyed rookie C Mason Cole the entire game, both in the run and pass. Suh did a tremendous job collapsing the pocket when the Cardinals did decide to pass, and he played downright possessed when playing the run. I mean he affected nearly every single run and nearly ruined the Cardinals’ running game on his own.
