College football Week 6 (Spoilers, silly goose)

SMU suspends QB Willis indefinitely

11:13 PM CDT on Friday, October 6, 2006

By KATE HAIROPOULOS / The Dallas Morning News

SMU starting quarterback Justin Willis will not play against UT-El Paso today and is suspended indefinitely because of a violation of team rules.

Brad Sutton, SMU assistant athletic director for media relations, would not comment on specifics about the violation. Coach Phil Bennett did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Junior college transfer Corey Slater is expected to start.

Willis, a redshirt freshman from Denton Ryan, traveled to El Paso on the team charter around lunchtime Friday. The decision to suspend him was made late afternoon or early evening Friday.

Willis practiced with the team this week.

Willis had led the Mustangs (3-2, 1-0 Conference USA) to a three-game winning streak. He is 80-of-118 for 841 yards. His 12 passing touchdowns are the most for an SMU quarterback since 1996 and the seventh-most in a season. Willis also rushed for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

After Willis helped SMU pull out a 33-28 win at Tulane last week, Bennett lauded Willis for his competitiveness and said he had come "light years" since his first college game Sept. 2 at Texas Tech. Willis accounted for 337 of SMU's 359 yards vs. Tulane.

Slater, 6-2, 220, is 7-of-18 for 54 yards. He got most of his playing time against North Texas, going 5-of-10 for 47 yards and an interception. He came to SMU from Dixie State in Utah, where he went 62-of-133 for 963 yards and four touchdowns.



Makes me feeel much better about tonight's game. UTEP's pass defense has been horrible and Willis has been quite good so far this season.

Man.. The cheating and resulting Death Penalty in the '80's still haunt the Mustangs.. Karma Baby.

UTEP's gotta get it going here soon, with Houston and Tulsa looking pretty tough in the West of CUSA. This is a game where the Miners can get on track and build some confidence. The two game road trip to UH and UT is only a couple of weeks away.

14-3 now. Wake's looking very good.

The scored their last touchdown on a WR touchdown pass to the QB. An interesting note is that, for his career, the WR has completed five of six passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns.

I wonder how high WF climbs in the polls if they can hold off Clemson. Any guesses?

I'm thinking they jump up to the 18-19 range.

Clemson is the highest ranked team for wake on their schedule. Although they have a pretty tough remaining schedule, what happens if they run the table? BCS championship game or no.

No. I think there are going to be two unbeatens, and there might be three not counting Wake. The other problem is the one loss teams. Would a one loss Florida, Auburn, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan or Ohio State be ranked below a 0 loss Wake? I don't think so. They win out, they'll get to the BCS because of the auto bid for the ACC, but they won't sniff the championship game.

I agree. could be an interesting debate at the end of the season though if they somehow do run the table.

well, should West Virginia? Wake's schedule is arguably as difficult.

I think Wake's schedule, especially if you include Clemson, is clearly better than WVU's to this point. WVU earned their pre-season ranking by returning 15 starters from an 11-1, Sugar Bowl winning team, though and haven't trailed in a game in nearly a full year (last Nov. 2 vs Louisville), so I think they are entitled to their spot in the rankings.

Well, if we're assuming WF runs the table, they will also get a quality opponent in the ACC Championship Game - a likely top-15 team at that point as well.

Anyone watching the Auburn game? Are they just getting flat out beat or are they playing badly and making mistakes? I didn't expect this one to be that close w/ Mustain still cutting his teeth.

It's a little bit of both. Mustain hasn't really done much, it's been the Arkansas running game. And Auburn just looks a little bit flat.

Wasn't really blocked...the holder basically gave the ball to a Clemson defender.

Fun fact: Wake's stadium & VT's stadium were built from the exact same set of blueprints. The only difference between the two now is 15 years of expansion by VT and no new development from Wake.
