Three MAC games kicking off tonight and I've been sitting on some notes. Good a time as any to put them out there before the ball goes up.
The headliner for me is David McComb at Miami (OH). Freshman quarterback, 65/103, 1121 yards, 7 TD, 1 INT on the season. That interception number is the thing. You don't see a first-year kid manage the ball that cleanly this deep into the year. Ohio comes in 7-2, so this is a real test at Yager Stadium on ESPN2 at 8:00 PM. Watch Riley Neer on the other side - 41 catches, 551 yards, 5 TD for the Bobcats. That's a real receiver.
Over on ESPNU, Kent State at Bowling Green is two teams fighting to stay out of the basement but there's young talent worth tracking. Wayne Harris for Kent State has 43 catches, 674 yards, 5 TD. That's a sophomore putting up legitimate numbers on a 3-6 team. Jeremiah Scoby at tight end for Bowling Green has 31 catches for 319 yards - a sophomore TE who can actually run routes is worth remembering.
Then the early game: Western Michigan is 6-3 and goes into Akron against a 1-8 Zips squad. Brayden Roggow is a sophomore QB for Akron - 1343 yards, 7 TD but 9 interceptions is a problem. His receiver Marcel Williams has 37 catches, 417 yards, 3 TD. On the WMU side, Aveion Chenault is a sophomore with 540 receiving yards on 33 catches. Kid can play.
All three games, unranked teams, nobody watching nationally - exactly my kind of Tuesday.
Which of these young guys do you think carries the most long-term upside?
