POSITION WATCH

These persistent watches are research only. The prior Morning Scout had no stable watch table, so every entry is NEW. Targets are fixed; they will not move merely because the market does.

INJURY/AVAILABILITY WATCH

• Syracuse is keeping Steve Angeli at QB after a three-interception loss; his prior Achilles recovery and current mobility must be rechecked before any Under review.
• Texas Tech says OLB Trey White and TE Terrance Carter Jr. are trending toward returns on the short week; safety Brenden Jordan returns from suspension. Availability update
• Louisville is hopeful RB Keyjuan Brown clears a head injury. SMU lists multiple skill players as questionable, so the +3 watch cannot be promoted from price alone. Louisville update
• Ole Miss RB Kewan Lacy and secondary availability require confirmation; LSU did not add the two contested former NFL players to its 105-man roster.
• Tulsa QB Baylor Hayes is out against East Texas A&M with a knee sprain; Dexter Williams II is expected to start. Week 3 update

Weather checkpoints: Pittsburgh has thunderstorm risk near the Thursday kickoff; Lubbock has a Friday evening storm window; Oxford is forecast hot with a late-afternoon storm chance; Louisville is hot with a possible late-afternoon thunderstorm. Weather is not treated as positive edge this early.

NEXT CHECKPOINTS

• Wednesday, Sep. 16: refresh Syracuse/Pitt availability and the total; compare Houston/Texas Tech short-week participation.
• Thursday, Sep. 17: revalidate the Syracuse/Pitt watch before Grade review; preserve it as Passed or Expired if the target never appears.
• Friday, Sep. 18: update Houston/TTU at morning and pregame checkpoints; review Friday games without forcing action.
• Saturday, Sep. 19: confirm all watch injuries, weather and executable prices; only Final Positions may create official exposure.
• Every Open watch will retain its stable ID in the next report, with prior/current movement recorded.

No watch is an official wager. AUTO_PICKS remains unchanged.
