 Michigan helped launch a "#ChadTough" campaign with his parents,
Tammi and Jason Carr, to raise money for research and treatment of
pediatric brain tumors.
Michigan's football team is wearing #ChadTough helmet decals.
"He was so full of life and love," Michigan football coach Jim
Harbaugh said on his radio show. "But heaven got stronger. Heaven
has another angel now."
---There are 80 spots in the postseason with a record 40 bowl games.
With two weeks left in the season, only 71 teams are eligible for
one of those spots.
The NCAA held a teleconference Monday and a second Tuesday to
discuss ways to fill any remaining vacancies. With some teams
playing two more regular-season games, the prevailing thought is
that the situation will work itself out, per CBS Sports' Dennis
Dodd.
And if it doesn't?
Get ready for a 5-7 team or three to get an extra whirl in December
or January.
Virginia Tech, East Carolina, Tulsa, Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota,
Illinois, Buffalo, San Jose State, Washington, Kentucky and Missouri
are among teams with five wins.
---Michigan State lists two quarterbacks in the starting lineup for
Saturday's Big Ten regular-season finale against Penn State.
Senior quarterback Connor Cook did not start last week when No. 9
Michigan State upset No. 3 Ohio State at Columbus. Cook suffered a
shoulder injury in the first half against Maryland and his status
for Saturday against the Nittany Lions is unclear.

Junior Tyler O'Connor started and sophomore Damion Terry also played
on the Spartans' first possession against the Buckeyes.
Michigan State's official depth chart lists Cook OR O'Connor with
the first-team offense.
---It appears that No. 10 Baylor is down to its third-string
quarterback.
Reports out of Waco on Tuesday indicate that QB Jarrett Stidham has
a broken ankle/fibula and will miss the rest of the season. He is
also dealing with back and hand injuries.
On Monday, coach Art Briles said Stidham was "highly questionable"
and that the Bears would prepare to play sophomore Chris Johnson
against TCU on Friday.
