Villanova quarterback John Robertson's performance in the Wildcats' 44-21 blowout win against Rhode Island earned him his fourth Colonial Athletic Association offensive player of the week award this season.

Robertson completed 13 of 16 passes for 189 yards and four touchdowns - his fourth consecutive game with four touchdown passes - and rushed eight times for 61 yards in the first half. He did not play after 'Nova took a 37-0 lead into the half.

Villanova (5-1) moved up a spot to fifth in the Sports Network Football Championship Subdivision poll. The Wildcats are fourth in the coaches' poll.

The rankings

West Chester (6-0) is ranked 10th in the American Football Coaches Association Division II poll. Widener (5-0) is ranked 13th in the Division III poll.

Gurley practicing

Todd Gurley hasn't been cleared to play, but he's still practicing for No. 10 Georgia.

Gurley remains on indefinite suspension while Georgia investigates possible violations of NCAA rules. He was held out of the Bulldogs' 34-0 win at Missouri on Saturday, but he participated in Monday's practice.

Boise loses Miller

Boise State's record-setting wide receiver Matt Miller is likely out for the season because he has to undergo surgery to repair a ligament injury in his left ankle, coach Bryan Harsin said.

Hoosiers QB out for year

Indiana starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld will undergo season-ending surgery on his injured left shoulder on Thursday. Freshman Chris Covington will be the new starter.

The Hoosiers host Penn State on Nov. 8 and play at Rutgers on Nov. 15.

Gators' Harris to play

Florida coach Will Muschamp said freshman quarterback Treon Harris will play Saturday against Missouri.

Harris would have played against LSU, but he was suspended last Monday while authorities investigated a sexual battery charge against him.

The female student withdrew her complaint Friday, and the university and Muschamp fully reinstated him later that day.

ACC suspensions

North Carolina State has suspended seven players - including two starters - for this week's game against Louisville after what the school says was a BB gun incident.

The Wolfpack will face a Louisville team that dismissed freshman wide receiver Cameron Polk from the team after campus police cited him for drug possession.
