Gaius Charles and Scott Porter on the Bench for Friday Night Lights Third Season

According to Michael Ausiello at EW.com, Friday Night Lights stars Scott Porter (Jason Street) and Gaius Charles (Smash Williams) have been demoted to recurring status for the show's third season, which debuts on DirecTV this fall.

Booooooooooo!

What are your thoughts on this? Will you stop watching the show? Or as long as they keep Matt Saracen and Tim Riggins around, will you be alright? Post your thoughts below.

Celebrity Crush: Friday Night Lights' Zach Gilford

The conventional choice for a Friday Night Lights crush would be Taylor Kitsch, who plays bad boy Tim Riggins on the NBC drama. Or maybe pretty boy Scott Porter, who portrays wheelchair-bound quarterback Jason Street. Or possibly Gaius Charles, who plays cocky running back Smash Williams.

Yeah, all those boys are hot. But I'm pining for Zach Gilford, who could not possibly be any more adorable as quarterback Matt Saracen. Swoon!

He's gawky. He's sweet. He's awkward. And he couldn't be any cuter.

Watching Gilford stammer and stutter his way through a relationship with Julie Taylor, while simultaneously developing confidence as the leader of the Dillion Panthers, has been one of the show's true joys. Gilford, as Saracen, wears his emotions on his sleeve -- when he's anxious, it shows; when he's angry, he can't hide it; and when he's happy and in love, he positively glows. He's that dorky high school boy you want to marry.

Or at least pine for on TV.

So, I say touchdown, Zach Gilford -- keep up the fine work!
