  Head coach Mack Brown announced yesterday during his press conference that the UNC football program will be without Sebastian Cheeks for the remainder of the season due to an upper-body injury, more specifically a shoulder injury. Cheeks was not in uniform for the team's victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon. Prior to suffering the injury, the Skokie, Illinois native played in 3 games, registering three total tackles.

This is a rather big blow to the Tar Heels, as not only does it impact their linebacker depth, but also hurts them on special teams. The freshman was making a push to earn more time on the field with the defensive unit, but this injury, unfortunately, sidelined him before that could happen. For Cheeks, he'll still have the ability to use a redshirt season, given that he did not play in four or more contests. The hope is that he'll return healthy next season and will be ready to become a steady presence for the UNC football program's defense. - Keeping It Heel.com

  Wisconsin fired head coach Paul Chryst on Sunday after a 2-3 start to his eighth season leading the school where he played, in the city where he grew up. The surprising move comes a day after Wisconsin lost at home 34-10 to Illinois and former Badgers coach Bret Bielema. "This is certainly not a decision that's taken lightly," athletic director Chris McIntosh said at a news conference. "It's not a game-by-game decision. This is a decision that's based on where we're at as a program." Chryst was 67-26 as coach of the Badgers after being hired away from Pittsburgh. But the program has been backsliding. Chryst had double-digit victory seasons in four of his first five years at Wisconsin while winning three Big Ten West titles. The Badgers have gone 15-10 since. "It's a tough time to make a transition, but I felt it was the right time and that's what led me to it," McIntosh said. Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, who was an All-American at Wisconsin, was named interim coach. The 39-year-old former NFL defensive back has been part of Chryst's staff for seven seasons and is considered one of the top assistant coaches in the country. - AP College Football

  Wisconsin tight end Clay Cundiff is unavailable indefinitely but hasn't been ruled out for the season. Cundiff was carted off the field Saturday in the Badgers' 52-21 loss to No. 3 Ohio State. In the injury report released Monday, Cundiff is listed as unavailable for the Badgers' upcoming game with Illinois due to an injured left leg. But he's not among the players out for the season. Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst declined to offer a timetable for when Cundiff possibly could return.

Cundiff injured his leg as he went down after making a catch in the final minute of the first half at Ohio State. As he was carted off the field, just about every Wisconsin player left the sideline to greet him and offer support. It's the second straight season in which Cundiff has been carted off the field with a major injury. He dislocated an ankle, broke his fibula and tore the deltoid ligament in his right leg last year in a 27-7 victory over Iowa, knocking him out for the rest of the season. Cundiff came back from that injury and caught two touchdown passes in a 17-14 loss to Washington State earlier this season. He has nine catches for 142 yards to go along with those two scores. - AP College Football

  Braelon Allen rushed for three touchdowns to help lead Wisconsin to a 66-7 victory against New Mexico State Saturday. The three-TD performance for Allen matched a career high. The sophomore running back finished with 15 carries for 86 yards and three scores for the Badgers (2-1), who rebounded from a 17-14 loss last week to Washington State. Allen broke away for a 39-yard rush for a score to give Wisconsin a 7-0 lead just 90 seconds into the game. Allen's effort marked just the third time in his last 12 games that he's been held under 100 yards. Chez Mellusi had a 2-yard touchdown run to cap a seven-play, 63-yard yard drive that pushed Wisconsin's lead to 14-0 with 14:56 to go in the first half.

Keontez Lewis caught an 18-yard touchdown pass to increase the Badgers' lead to 21-0 with 12:22 left in the first half. Badgers linebacker Maema Njongmeta got a pick on an Aggies deflection at New Mexico State's 2-yard line that set up Allen's second TD two plays later, a 1-yard rush that pushed Wisconsin to 28-0. Quarterback Graham Mertz went 10 of 13 for 251 yards with three touchdowns and 1 interception in three-plus quarters. Mertz threw to six different receivers. Myles Burkett, a true freshman, replaced Mertz with 5:34 to go in the third quarter. Deacon Hill was inserted with less than 30 seconds remaining in the third. Badgers wide receiver Skyler Bell caught 3 passes for 63 yards and two touchdowns, including a 49-yard TD catch. The Aggies (0-4) just had 100 yards of offense in the first half. They collected 82 yards during a 13-play drive with less than 3 minutes remaining. - Wisconsin/AP College Football

  TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 22. Tyler Van Dyke, rSo, QB, Miami, 6-3, 224, 1,...Van Dyke continued his prolific season in a 30-7 win over Southern Miss. He completed 20 of 29 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Previous week, No. 21: After stealing the job from injured D'Eriq King and then Jake Garcia last year, Van Dyke staked his claim with six straight games passing for at least 300 yards and three TDs. He began coach Mario Cristobal's era with another great performance in a resounding, 70-13, beat-down of obviously overmatched Bethune-Cookman. Van Dyke, a third-year sophomore, showed why he is probably headed to the NFL next season by completing 13 of 16 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns before yielding the field to Garcia midway through the third quarter. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

  TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 40. Keeanu Benton, rJr, DT, Wisconsin, 6-3, 317, 1-2,..Looking pretty good again by holding up well against guard Christian Hilborn, among others, on the inside, Benton finished with one official tackle in a 17-14 loss to Washington State, which was held to only 200 yards passing and 53 rushing. Previous week, No. 40: Nose tackle Keeanu Benton was one of the Wisconsin team captains in the season-opening, 38-0, victory over Illinois State. The Badgers held the Redbirds to only 243 total yards, and a mere 57 on the ground. Benton was credited with only two assists but his presence ate up multiple blockers while inside linebacker Maema Njogmeta was free to lead the team with seven tackles, one assist. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

  Tanner Mordecai threw three touchdown passes and SMU rolled to a 45-16 victory over Lamar on Saturday night. Mordecai was 18-of-31 passing for 212 yards. He connected with Rashee Rice twice for scores, including the Mustangs' first touchdown. Rice also made an over-the-shoulder, 20-yard catch in the end zone late in the third quarter. Rice finished with nine catches for 132 yards.

TJ McDaniel found a crease up the middle, stiff armed a defender then ran along the left sideline for a 56-yard touchdown run that stretched the Mustangs' lead to 24-7 late in the first half. McDaniel scored his first touchdown since the 2020 season. He sat out last season due to injury. He added a 1-yard score and finished with 96 yards on the ground. Velton Gardner had 100 yards rushing on 11 carries for SMU (2-0). Khalan Griffin had a 1-yard touchdown run for Lamar (0-2). - SMU/AP College Football

  Key'Shawn Smith caught a 35-yard flea-flicker touchdown from Tyler Van Dyke, part of a third-quarter burst that lifted No. 15 Miami past Southern Miss 30-7 on Saturday. Smith's scoring grab - the only play of that drive - came 2:14 after Thaddius Franklin Jr.'s 7-yard touchdown run gave Miami (2-0) a bit of breathing room after the Hurricanes trailed for almost the entire second quarter. Henry Parrish had a 1-yard touchdown run late in the first half for the Hurricanes. Parrish rushed for 102 yards and Franklin added 66 more for Miami, which has started its season with two wins for only the seventh time in the past 18 seasons. Van Dyke completed 19 of 29 passes for 230 yards and the score, plus was intercepted once.

Jason Brownlee caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from Zach Wilcke for Southern Miss (0-2). That capped a six-play, 75-yard drive for the Golden Eagles -- but they managed only 122 yards on their next seven drives, five of which ended in punts, one with an interception in the end zone and the other with a fumble. Frank Gore Jr., the son of Miami Hall of Famer Frank Gore, was held largely in check by the Hurricanes' defense in his return to his hometown. Gore Jr. had seven carries for 10 yards, and two catches for 18 more yards. That's after he rushed for 178 yards last week in Southern Miss' opening-game loss to Liberty. Wilcke completed 16 of 27 passes for 207 yards for the Golden Eagles. Brownlee had five of those catches for 102 yards. Andy Borregales kicked three field goals for Miami. - Miami/AP College Football

The freshman kicker was 2-for-2 on field goals, putting Ohio on the board in the first quarter with a 29-yard kick. With 1:24 remaining in the second quarter, Vakos' second field goal attempt hit its mark, this time from 36 yards. He was also 5-for-5 his PAT attempts. - MAC Football

  Redshirt freshman right tackle Riley Mahlman sustained an injury to his left leg in the third quarter against Illinois State and didn't return to the game. He was not listed on the status report. However, UW hasn't listed any players as questionable thus far this season, only designating players as out or out for the season. Mahlman was blocking on a third-and-goal snap at the goal line when tailback Braelon Allen and a defender crashed into his leg left. He played the fourth-down snap, an Allen touchdown, but didn't move much and then limped to the sideline before the extra-point try. - Wisconsin State Journal

  Wisconsin safety Hunter Wohler will miss at least one game after injuring his left leg in a season-opening victory over Illinois State. The status report No. 18 Wisconsin released Monday ruled Wohler out for Saturday's home game with Washington State (1-0). Badgers coach Paul Chryst indicated there's a strong possibility the injury will keep Wohler out for a longer period. "I don't know for sure, but I think it will be a bit of time," Chryst said. Wohler made his first career start in the Badgers' 38-0 triumph. He played in each of Wisconsin's 13 games last season in a reserve role, finishing with 16 tackles and one sack. - AP College Football
