Daniel asked:
Oregon -10½ vs Boise State.
Has any college football team had more bad luck when it comes to injured quarterbacks than Oregon has in the past eight games or so?
The Ducks pulled out a near-miraculous win on Saturday at Purdue to stay perfect on the young season, but starting quarterback Justin Roper suffered a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will miss two to four weeks.
Roper is the second Oregon quarterback to go down with a knee injury this season; Nate Costa, who was considered by many the most likely candidate to start, suffered a torn ACL last month; he won’t play this season. And of course the Ducks were ravaged at the position late last season, losing Heisman candidate Dennis Dixon, among others.
Roper was 20-of-48 Saturday for 197 yards, with two interceptions. But he settled down in the second half and played better, helping the Ducks rally from a 17-point deficit to force overtime.
Without Roper, the Ducks are down to three healthy quarterbacks on the roster. Freshman Chris Harper finished the game against Purdue – he didn’t throw a pass against the Boilermakers but did rush four times for 17 yards, including an 8-yard scamper on the second overtime drive. Either Harper or JuCo transfer Jeremiah Masoli will start this week against Boise State, but coach Mike Bellotti said freshman Darron Thomas – a redshirt candidate – will also practice this week as though he might play.
One of them will make his first major college start, but both will play, Bellotti said, and even within the same series at times.
“I think it’s situational,” Bellotti said. “I think we’ll use them both. They both have strong attributes and bring different strengths to the table.”
The coach added that when Roper does return, it could be to a competition with Masoli and Harper to keep that No. 1 job.
“It will be competitive at that point, obviously, it depends on how we do in the next couple weeks,” Bellotti said of Roper. “He’s the starter, he’s proven that, but there are certainly things he needs to work on to improve.
“When he gets back, he’ll factor in. How much he factors in will depend on his competitive instinct at that point and what we accomplish in the next couple games.”
Boise State is 2-0 with victories over Idaho State and Bowling Green and getting votes in both polls, though not enough to ***** the top 25. Oregon (3-0) is No. 12 in this week’s coaches’ poll and is a 12-point favorite over the Broncos on WagerWeb.com.

ef=”http://www.sportsbetting.com/”>Fresno St. vs Wyoming College Football Preview:
Led by the top rusher in the nation, Fresno State will be looking for a better outcome when it plays in its second straight New Mexico Bowl.
For Wyoming, led by first-year coach Dave Christensen, merely appearing in a postseason game for the first time in five years is a big step for the program.
The Bulldogs and Cowboys kick off the bowl season when they meet in Albuquerque on Saturday.
Fresno State had a rough start to the year, losing three of four. Two of the losses came against ranked teams and one was in double overtime.
The Bulldogs (8-4) rebounded to go 7-1 over their final eight games, ending the season with a 53-52 overtime victory at Illinois and earning a trip to Albuquerque for the second consecutive season.
Fresno State is led by junior running back Ryan Mathews, who topped the Football Bowl Subdivision with 151.3 rushing yards per game.

Fresno State is making its 10th bowl appearance in the last 11 seasons under coach Pat Hill, and the Bulldogs are looking to leave Albuquerque with a victory this time.
Despite coming into the 2008 New Mexico Bowl with a 7-5 record, Fresno State carried an eight-point lead over Colorado State into the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs couldn’t hold it, giving up 20 points in the final period to lose 40-35.
“We are a much different team, a more confident team than when we came to New Mexico a year ago,” Hill told Fresno State’s official Web site. “We were not a strong team at the end of last season and the fourth quarter against Colorado State showed that.”
While Wyoming will be focused on trying to contain Mathews, it will also have to contend with Ryan Colburn, who threw for 2,333 yards and completed 60.2 percent of his passes. He had 18 touchdowns but was intercepted 11 times.
Wyoming (6-6) won its final game to become bowl eligible. The Cowboys will be playing in their first bowl game since beating UCLA 24-21 in the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl.
Wyoming is led by freshman Austyn Carta-Samuels, who threw for 1,752 yards and completed 59 percent of his passes, but tossed only seven touchdowns with four interceptions. He had one passing touchdown over the final six games, getting sacked 20 times in that span.
