FORT COLLINS -- Colorado State coach Steve Fairchild has shaken up his coaching staff, reassigning offensive coordinator Greg Peterson to concentrate full-time on recruiting.

Fairchild made the coaching change in the midst of a six-game skid that dropped the Rams to 3-6.

Peterson`s duties of coaching the wide receivers also were stripped. Fairchild and graduate assistant Darrell Ballard, in addition to the other four full-time members of the offensive coaching staff, will coach the wide receivers for the remainder of the season.

Fairchild has been calling the offensive plays since becoming head coach in 2008, when Peterson was among his first hires.

WAC official suspended

The Western Athletic Conference has suspended a replay official for one game after he failed to overturn a call in a game last weekend between San Jose State and Boise State.

Official Michael Goshima`s one-game suspension will go into effect this weekend.

The suspension -- the first of a WAC replay official since the NCAA implemented instant replay in 2006 -- was based on a play where a runner was ruled short of a first down and Goshima`s review incorrectly upheld the ruling on the field.

The WAC said that upon further inspection, "the runner clearly made the first down and the call should have been reversed."

"The WAC expects the same type of performance from our instant replays officials as we do from the on field officials," Commissioner Karl Benson said in a statement. "And while errors are going to occur both on the field and in the replay booth when they do, there must be accountability."

Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage says a decision on Al Groh`s future as the school`s football coach will come at the end of the season. Littlepage says in an e-mail to The Associated Press that Groh will be evaluated on his "full body of work" and that the school`s goal is to have fan support at games. That criteria suggests that Groh`s ninth season at his alma mater could be his last. Virginia (3-5) is in the midst of another losing season with dwindling fan support.

The NCAA has rejected a final appeal to reinstate Dez Bryant and Oklahoma State has probably seen the last of its All-America receiver. The junior is considered a top NFL prospect and few expect him to come back for another season in Stillwater.
