Matty Vautour reports Marquis Young and Tedrick Lowery are still "questionable" for Saturday's game. Whipple said Bilal Ally and Sekai Lindsay will get reps from the TB slot. John Robinson-Woodgett and JUCO Malik Lee could get some carries out of the fullback position.

Tedrick Lowery played well against SEC opposition early in the season. With Shane Huber out for the season with an ACL Lowery is a big component in UMass' run-stopping.

The State has a guide to game day activities, if you're lucky enough to be attending.

Who's starting for the Gamecocks at QB is still top secret

Troy beat South Alabama to become bowl eligible last night. Troy is 6-1 for the season and undefeated in the Sun belt. Looks like Neal Brown has it going down in Alabama.

BYU lost to Boise State by one point despite having a 5-0 edge in turnovers.
