Players to keep an eye on for Week 5

There will be a couple of players to watch out for this Saturday. Two of them are coming off loses, so how will they rebound this week? How will they respond to the pressure of a big game against a big time opponent? That's what we're looking for.

Javid Best - RB California - Javid had helped the Bears get to a No. 6 ranking and had himself in the Heisman talks. Well, that all changed last Saturday when they went up to Oregon and got blown away 42-3 and Best only rushed for 55 yards. Now they have No. 7 USC paying a visit so the Bears need for Javid to get back into the groove of things if they expect to win this game. USC was able to hold Best to just 30 yards rushing last season. Can they do it again or will Javid prove that he was worthy of the Heisman talks earlier in the season?

Jacory Harris - QB Miami (FL) - Jacory and the 'Canes were getting a lot of talk and hype so far this year. That was until they went up to Blacksburg and got beat down by the Hokies of Virginia Tech. Jacory had been playing very well until that game and even got himself into the Heisman talk as well. The Virginia Tech defense did a good job at shutting him down as he went 9 for 25 for 150 yards and one INT. Now he has to rebound off that loss against the Oklahoma defense that has back to back shutouts, grant it those were by far less talented teams than what the 'Canes have been showing us.

Jerrod Johnson - QB Texas A&M - Most people probably don't even know who Jerrod Johnson is but you should keep an eye on this kid. This Saturday will be the first real test of what this kid and A&M of the season when they face off against Arkansas in Jerry World. Johnson has put up some big numbers so far this year, albeit against some questionable teams. He has passed for 961 yards so far with 9 TD's and 0 INT's and is leading the 1st ranked offense in the nation. Will he step up into the spotlight?
