Week 3 Key Matchups
Dominique Franks CB Oklahoma - vs Tulsa
Tulsa isn't going to challenge Oklahoma, but the Golden Hurricane will still put up some points. G.J. Kinne has picked up right where David Johnson left off in 2008 and is throwing the ball all over the field. That means Dominique Franks and the Sooners' secondary is sure to be tested early and often.
Ndamakong Sue DT Nebraska - vs Virginia Tech
Playing in the Big 12, Sue has plenty of opportunities to show off his pass rushing skills, but no one in the Big 12 can run the ball like the Hokies. Against Virginia Tech, Sue may be relied on in a different role than he's used to. Virginia Tech is more of a pro-style offense than most teams in the Big 12, and NFL teams will certainly take notice if he's able to step up and stuff the Hokie's running game.
Patrick Robinson CB Florida State - vs BYU
Robinson is an early favorite to be one of the first cornerbacks selected in April's draft. Miami offered a nice test on opening weekend, but BYU could be the Seminoles toughest opponent this season. Robinson's performance could be key to Florida State pulling off an upset.
Brandon Spikes ILB Florida - vs Tennessee
Florida just might hang 70 on Tennessee, but that doesn't mean the Vols' offense can't put up some points of their own. The Vols passing game has struggled, but they have a nice stable of running backs which could keep this came closer than some expect if they're able to establish the run early and control the clock. Brandon Spikes will be the key to stopping Tennessee's rushing attack
