News and Notes for September 9

Wyoming linebacker Ruben Narcisse, killed in an automobile accident Monday, will be honored by Texas in Saturday's game in Austin, Tex.

Meanwhile, Wyoming will be honoring the memory of Narcisse in many ways throughout the season, including designating a different player each week to wear Narcisse's No. 12 jersey.

Sophomore safety Shamiel Gary will be wearing the No. 12 on Saturday.

It seems unlikely that Alabama's Mark Ingram will play in Saturday's game against Penn State.

ESPN's Joe Schad also notes that with Duke being next on the Alabama schedule, it is foreseeable that the reigning Heisman winner will not be back until the Crimson Tide's conference opener at Arkansas on September 25th.

(ADDED 1:40PM ET) Averaging 7,252,000 households, Monday night's Boise State-Virginia Tech game has been called ESPN's most-watched college football game.

On a lighter note, while Bubba Sparxxx's "Back in the Mud" was featured in the NFL game, Madden '04, this music video feels appropriate for college football.
