New on Sports Illustrated: Memphis, Navy ready for Saturday, but COVID looms

As has been the case with so many games this college football season, the big question for Memphis and Navy entering their scheduled Saturday afternoon game at Navy is whether the game actually will take place.

As of Tuesday, the matchup was on, but some uncertainty remained.

Two days before Navy's scheduled game against Tulsa on Nov. 7, the contest was postponed due to several positive COVID-19 cases on Navy's team.

If Saturday's game is played, it will be a battle between two teams that want to keep winning records in the American Athletic Conference.

The Tigers (4-2, 3-2 AAC) and Midshipmen (3-4, 3-2) enter the game tied for fourth in the league standings.

Memphis can relate to Navy's issues with COVID, given the Tigers had games against Houston (rescheduled) and UTSA (canceled) nixed earlier in the year due to positive tests on the Memphis roster.

Memphis has won three of its past four games, with the only loss being at unbeaten Cincinnati.

Memphis is coming off a 34-33 home win over South Florida but is 0-2 on the road this year, with defeats at SMU and Cincinnati.

The Tigers have one of the league's best quarterbacks in senior Brady White, who has completed 62 percent of his passes (155 of 250) for 2,128 yards and 22 touchdowns, with five interceptions.

However, Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield came away from the South Florida game concerned about the running game, given the Tigers only had 98 rushing yards on 33 carries.

"I do think we are getting teams that are loading the box, but no excuses," Silverfield said. "We've got to find better ways to run the football, for sure."

Speaking of running games, Navy traditionally features one of the country's top rushing attacks with its triple-option offense.

The Midshipmen are averaging 187 yards rushing per game this year, and Silverfield said extra preparation was done throughout the offseason by his defensive staff to try and familiarize the team with Navy's offense.

"If you are not exactly where you need to be, Navy can make you look silly," Silverfield said. "Those are the challenges it presents. It's just constantly harping on where you need to be at this point, and here's where you need to be on your assignments. If we do that, we'll be just fine."

Leading the way for Navy offensively is senior running back Nelson Smith, who has rushed for 447 yards and seven touchdowns on 76 carries. Junior running back Jamale Carothers has 337 yards and two touchdowns on 88 carries.

Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo said before the Tulsa game was postponed that his team is still striving for consistency.

"We have to be more consistent on both sides of the ball," he said. "We are very inconsistent everywhere. We are just flashes here and there. We can't string things together."

49ers getting Samuel, possibly other key players back

The San Francisco 49ers could be getting a handful key players back from injuries this week but may have to wait longer for six players on the COVID-19 list to return. Receiver Deebo Samuel has been cleared to return for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after missing the past three games with a hamstring injury. Leading rusher Raheem Mostert (ankle), starting cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) and backup running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) are set to be activated from injured reserve on Saturday and are all questionable to play this week.

Bills' Allen shows growth since last start against Chargers

As much as he'd like, Josh Allen can't change the past when the topic of the Bills quarterback's first career start was mentioned this week. ''Obviously, very nervous, and things didn't turn out so great,'' Allen said, when asked to recall any lingering memories of Buffalo's 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks into the 2018 season. In finishing 18 of 33 for 245 yards with a touchdown in the final minute, and two interceptions, Allen's outing was typically reflective of a raw rookie thrust into action after Nathan Peterman unraveled in Buffalo's season opener.

New on Sports Illustrated: Report: Ravens Discipline Strength and Conditioning Coach for COVID-19 Conduct

After Baltimore's game against the Steelers was moved to Sunday, the Ravens disciplined their strength and conditioning coach for COVID-related conduct.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday night that they disciplined "a staff member for conduct surrounding the recent COVID-19 cases that have affected players and staff at the Ravens."

Sources later told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that the Ravens disciplined a strength and conditioning coach "for not reporting symptoms and not consistently wearing a mask or tracking device."

This comes hours after the NFL announced the Ravens-Steelers matchup that was originally scheduled for Thanksgiving night has been postponed until Sunday afternoon

ESPN's Adam Schefter originally reported that the Ravens had five players and four staffers test positive for COVID-19 this week. 

But by Wednesday evening, seven Ravens were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list with positive tests or close contacts following tracing, including running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins, defensive linemen Brandon Williams and Calais Campbell, outside linebacker Pernell McPhee and offensive linemen Matt Skura and Patrick Mekari.

Multiple Steelers players expressed their frustration on Twitter. 

The Ravens have lost three of their four previous games and were scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday before Thursday's matchup. The Steelers enter the AFC North divisional matchup undefeated. 

While the Ravens were proactive with their internal discipline, they could still face penalties from the league.

New on Sports Illustrated: Oklahoma to take on high-scoring UTSA guard duo

Austin Reaves had played in three NCAA Tournament games as a reserve in his first two seasons.

But after transferring to Oklahoma from Wichita State, the guard was looking forward to playing a much bigger role for a tournament team last year before the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the NCAA Tournament.

So while most every player is eager to begin this season, Reaves is particularly ready to get it underway, especially after scoring 41 points in what became the Sooners' final game on March 7 against TCU.

Reaves and the Sooners begin their 2020-21 season Wednesday at home against Texas-San Antonio.

"We want to compete," Reaves said. "It honestly (stunk) to get the season cut short last year, but it's been a pandemic and there's not much we could do to change that."

The Sooners lost forward Kristian Doolittle to graduation and guard Jamal Bieniemy to transfer but return plenty of experience from last year's 19-12 team, plus they have added North Texas transfer Umoja Gibson.

"Probably a year where veteran experience does help, no question about it," Sooners head coach Lon Kruger said. "Given the shortened length of practice time, the protocols in and around ballgames, the additional distractions that might be available, older guys might be able to deal with better."

Reaves had one of his best games last season against UTSA, scoring 23 points and making 8 of 12 shots from inside the arc.

The teams have played in each of the past three seasons, with the Sooners winning each time.

Last season, Oklahoma beat the Roadrunners 85-67 to start the season.

UTSA coach Steve Henson was a longtime assistant under Kruger, not only at Oklahoma but also at UNLV, Illinois and with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. Henson played for Kruger at Kansas State and took the UTSA job after the Sooners' 2016 Final Four run.

The Roadrunners went just 13-19 last season but also return an experienced team, most notably with guard tandem Jhivvan Jackson and Keaton Wallace.

The pair were the highest-scoring backcourt duo in the nation a year ago, and the third-best scoring duo in college basketball, averaging a combined 45.6 points per game.

Jackson scored 24 against the Sooners last year while Wallace added 17.

UTSA's roster also got a boost in the offseason when Houston transfer Cedrick Alley Jr. was granted immediate eligibility. The 6-foot-6 forward made 16 starts for the Cougars in 2018-19 before seeing his playing time drop last season.
