Chad Mock / Top Ten Showdowns

Earlier today, this article stated that former UH receiver Chad Mock was competing with two other guys for a spot on the BC Lions roster.

That performance, a game-high six-catch 61-yard night with a TD last Friday, was enough to keep (Cory) Rodgers around for another preseason game. Tonight's outing will determine whether he, Chad Mock or incumbent Kendrick Jones will stick as the team's final import wide receiver.

Well, tonight's game is over and according to the box score, Chad Mock didn't catch a pass. But then again neither did Rodgers, while Jones had one catch for 11 yards. Rodgers had a few short punt and kick returns. And I don't know how, but Mock had a tackle. Maybe that'll show off his versatility. In any case, guess we'll wait and see what transpires.

And Stewart Mandel of SI.com looks ahead to the ten most important matchups in college football this season, as he sees it. Here's #9:

9. Boise State at Hawaii, Nov. 23
Could a BCS berth and/or Heisman Trophy be on the line in a WAC regular-season contest? Quite possibly. Both teams finished last season ranked in the coaches poll, and the fact that this game is in Honolulu could put Colt Brennan and the Warriors in position to end the Broncos' run of five straight conference titles.

Oh, it's like a shiny diamond glistening in the distance.
