Broncos lose spot on polls, but make grade
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Boise State's commanding 59-0 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night did not help the Broncos retain their No. 3 spot in The Associated Press or USA Today Coaches' polls released Sunday.
Oregon, which was ranked No. 4 when it beat Stanford, 52-31, moved to No.3 in both polls. Boise State is No. 4, behind Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon.

Offense
Grading the Broncos seems futile after such a dominant performance. Boise State handled the Aggies with laughable ease, jumping out to a 24-0 lead and never going through a lull. One play, to me, illustrated how in command the Broncos were. On their first possession, the Broncs faced a third-and-4. QB Kellen Moore hit Austin Pettis for an easy 5-yard
out. No NMSU defender was even close to Pettis nor did the Aggies bring pressure. Four plays later, the Broncos were up 7-0 and off to the races. Grade: A
Defense
The defensive line is becoming the best unit on this team. And it's not just first-string guys like Shea McCellin, who made an amazingly athletic play to bat down a screen pass, and Ryan Winterswyk, who caught the batted ball for interception. Second-unit players such as Mike Atkinson and Ricky Tjong-A-Tjee are starting to dominate. Defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski has not got
ten the recognition he deserves for his work with the defensive line. Grade: A
Special teams
Coaching
The Aggies did start three possessions beyond their own 40 after kickoffs as the Broncos showed a little weakness on kickoff coverage. Grade: B+
Chris Petersen refused to run up the score, taking a knee at the end of the first half when the Broncos took possession with more than a minute remaining and all three timeouts. Many played at a high level. Grade: A
Monroe proves self as long-term solution for Texas team
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
One game after watching D.J. Monroe run the ball effectively as a running back and potentially provide a long-term solution at the unsettled position, Texas coach Mack Brown said the decision to sit on the sophomore running back has more to do with practice.
Namely, Monroe hasn't had enough yet.
Playingagainst Oklahoma, Monroe carried the ball four times for
65 yards with a touchdown. It left people wanting more. But Brown has been careful, and sounds like he will remain so, in using Monroe until he has a better command of the position.
the position. "D.J. didn't practice in the spring; he had a pulled hamstring." Brown said. "I don't think he participated at all, and if it was it was a couple of plays. He played scout team his redshirt year at running back. He missed the next spring because of academics. He spent all
It sounds as if Fozzy Whittaker will still be receiving the majority of the load, or at least until Monroe proves he can handle the mental rigors of the position.
of preseason at wide receiver."
"He's doing a good job and he's trying to learn quickly," Brown said. "It's not plays as much as protections. Protections are complicated ... D.J. is finding his place."
Mack Brown did notice the disparity in penalties during Saturday's game, but because hed rather

After consecutive losses and entering the bye week, Mack Brown acknowledged that this Longhorns team can't get away with some of things his previous teams could. Whereas in the past his teams were so much more talented, this group
With the bye week before going to Lincoln to play No. 7 Nebraska on Oct.16, Brown delivered such a message to his team.
"We have to play with that heart and passion and desire each week. If we played like ( the Longhorns did against Oklahoma) against UCLA, it would have been a different game." Brown said. "We're not the type of team that can go out there and not play our best game and win."
Jay Cutler's concussion keeps him benched for the Bears
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Poke. Prod.Make Jay Cutler recite the names of all the cast members of "The Hills," if eventually that's what it takes to prove his mental acuity.
But under no circumstances can the Bears rush Cutler back to the football field, even for practice, until he shows no lingering effects from the concussion that knocked him out of the second half of Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Giants. There's no hurry even if Cutler insists to teammates he's fine.
There is no truth to the rumor that the Bears knew Cutler really was messed up at halftime when he started bugging teammates. Come to think of it, that may be an additional test to see if Cutler has regained his senses. Have Devin
Hester line up on the wrong side of a formation, as he did against the Giants, and if Cutler screams at him again then everybody will know he's back to being Jay.
In all seriousness, the Bears must err on the side of caution when it comes to Cutler. They have solid medical people who know this. They have football people who have been encouraged by league initiatives and new NFL rules to accept this. They have more at stake than beating the winless Panthers.
The decision should have less to do with Cutler playing Sunday and more to do with preserving him all season.
It will be pointed out that Panthers quarterback Matt Moore, now Jimmy Clausen's backup, didn't miss a practice and started
against the Buccaneers seven days after the Giants concussed Moore in the season opener. But I don't recall seeing tackles Frank Omiyale or Kevin Shaffer on the Panthers' depth chart.
R u s h i n g Cutler back to the same pocket that has collapsed more than any other in the NFL through four games would be like sending an air-traffic controller back to work days
in 2004, the last time they ran a version of the Mike Martz offense. The Qasim Mitchell Era is not one worth repeating.
Maybe Cutler shouldn't return until left tackle Chris Williams

Though it also dealt with
easier for the Bears to do the right thing and place Hillenmeyer on injured reserve because of tremendous depth at linebacker. The thinking changes when it involves a franchise quarterback who's the difference between making a playoff run and worrying about draft position.
"You have warring mentalities, because both the team and the player want him on the field next week but the Bears, in this case, have to be the ones who look long-term for the best interests of lay," said Chris Nowinski, the President of the Sports Legacy Institute. Nowinski, a Hersey High grad whose playing career at Harvard was cut short due to concussions, is considered an expert on the topic.
Nowinski stressed the importance of players such as Cutler who sustain concussions being honest with their symptoms. Back in 2003 when Cutler was at Vanderbilt, for instance, he later acknowledged to a local newspaper not revealing the concussion he suffered Sept. 20, 2003, against Texas Christian. Players knew because Cutler called the wrong plays in the huddle.
The last documented concussion Cutler suffered as a pro came Dec. 31, 2006, with the Broncos when he was knocked out in the second quarter against the 49ers after a hit by current Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams. Cutler returned in the third quarter but still seemed woody when he burned three timeouts in one series and threw an interception Walt Harris returned for a touchdown in a 26-23 loss.
