Blake Horvath accounted for three touchdowns and Navy forced three turnovers and shut out UAB in the second half for a 38-24 victory on Saturday in the American Conference opener for both teams. Horvath's 4-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter gave Navy a 31-24 lead. Alex Tecza bullied into the end zone from the 1 to cap an 82-yard drive to open the fourth for the Midshipmen.

09/06/25 - DE Jonathan Maldonado, rJr/2027, Nevada + More +

Jonathan Maldonado returned an interception 36 yards for a touchdown with 2:17 to play and Nevada defeated Sacramento State 20-17 on Saturday after the Hornets had touchdowns on consecutive plays in the last minute nullified by penalties before they missed a field goal. Sacramento State quickly marched from its 35 to the Nevada 3 with 29 seconds to go. On a third down, quarterback Cardell Williams scampered nine yards for the apparent go-ahead score but a holding penalty wiped that out.

Williams then threw a touchdown pass from the 19 that was wiped out by a penalty. The Hornets then ran a play to set up a 41-yard field goal attempt that Grant Meadors missed to the right. The Hornets had an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the miss as well. Nevada quarterback Chubba Purdy threw two interceptions but he rushed for 115 yards on 22 keepers and scored a touchdown. The Wolf Pack (1-1) rushed for 268 yards and Purdy threw for 144. Williams was 10-of-13 passing for 151 for Sacramento State (0-2), which finished with 372 yards. He threw a touchdown pass to Ernest Campbell and Rodney Hammond Jr. had a rushing score. - Nevada/AP College Football

Athan Kaliakmanis passed for 259 yards and a career-high four touchdowns to lead Rutgers to a 45-17 win over Miami of Ohio on Saturday. Rutgers (2-0) has scored at least 30 points in six straight games going back to last season. The start of the game was delayed for 55 minutes due to thunderstorms. Wide receiver Ian Strong caught nine passes for a career-high 116 yards and two TDs for the Scarlet Knights, who are now 15-5-1 against MAC opponents.

This was the first meeting between the schools. Rutgers snapped a 7-7 tie in the first quarter by scoring 17 straight points in the second quarter to move ahead 24-7. Dequan Finn passed for 251 yards and a touchdown and ran for 85 yards and a TD for Miami (0-2). Keith Reynolds, a transfer from Washington, who caught just five passes last season, had seven receptions for 120 yards for the RedHawks. - AP College Football

09/06/25 - WR Javonte Graves-Billips, rSr/2026, The Citadel + More +

Javonte Graves-Billips caught a pair of touchdown passes and had 139 yards receiving and The Citadel beat Samford 40-13 on Saturday in a Southern Conference opener for both teams. After a scoreless first quarter, Samford's Jake Garner kicked field goals of 40 and 20 yards for a 6-0 lead. The Citadel (1-1, 1-0) took the lead for good when Cobey Thompkins threw a 43-yard scoring pass to Graves-Billips with 6:03 before halftime. Ben Barnes kicked a 40-yard field three seconds before the break for a 10-6 advantage.

In the third, Barnes kicked a 28-yard field goal. Later in the quarter, Sayre Smothers returned a fumble 31 yards for a touchdown to put The Citadel up 20-6. Less than five minutes later, Bradlee Jones returned a Samford (0-2, 0-1) fumble 59 yards to make it 27-6 with 13:48 remaining. Samford's lone touchdown came with 11:17 left when C.J. Evans ran it in from the 5 to reduce the deficit to 27-13.

09/06/25 - QB Collin Hurst, rSo/2028, Presbyterian + More +

Collin Hurst and Nathan Levicki hooked up on a touchdown in overtime - Hurst's fifth TD of the game - and they followed it up with the winning two-point conversion as Presbyterian defeated Furman 39-38 on Saturday. The Blue Hose overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and a near two-hour weather delay to defeat their in-state rivals. Furman scored first in overtime on Jayquan Smith's 2-yard run. The Paladins kicked for the point after and led 38-31.

Presbyterian (2-0) then scored in two plays - Hurst's 22-yard pass to Dominic Kibby followed by Hurst to Levicki for 3 yards and the touchdown. Hurst then connected with Levicki on the two-point conversion, a play that was confirmed by an official review. It was the first time Presbyterian had the lead. Trailing 31-21 in the fourth quarter, Presbyterian drove to the Furman 8-yard line before the game was delayed with about nine minutes remaining. When play resumed, the Blue Hose settled for a field goal to get within 31-24. Three plays later, Carter Szydlowski recovered a fumble by Furman's CJ Nettles at the 12-yard line. Hurst then hit BJ Atkins for 12 yards and the tying touchdown. Hurst threw for 275 yards and his five touchdowns helped overcome three interceptions. Trey Hedden has 263 yards passing with one touchdown for Furman (1-1). - AP College Football

Wyatt went 39 yards to cap a quick 80-yard scoring drive in the third quarter.

After intermission, Shannon immediately threw a 52-yard touchdown to Owen Sweeney. The Keydets' defense joined the scoring parade when Anthony Allen scooped a Ferrum fumble and ran it for a 35-7 advantage.

09/06/25 - QB Byrum Brown, rJr/2027, South Florida + More +

Nico Gramatica hit a 20-yard field goal as time expired and South Florida stunned No. 13 Florida 18-16 on Saturday to give the Bulls consecutive wins against ranked opponents to start the season. Gramatica missed a 58-yarder with 2:52 remaining but got a chance to redeem himself after Florida defensive lineman Brandon Bett spit at a South Florida player on the Bulls' next possession. Bett was ejected with a little more than two minutes to play, and the Bulls (2-0) got 15 yards and an automatic first down to spark an 87-yard drive.

It was the latest setback for embattled Florida coach Billy Napier, whose team is 1-1 for the fourth consecutive year. The Gators looked as though they would rally after freshman Vernell Brown III returned a punt 40 yards to set up DJ Lagway's lone touchdown pass. But the Gators flopped down the stretch, an all-too-familiar feeling during Napier's tenure. Napier's play-calling was scrutinized as much as Lagway's rehabilitated throwing shoulder, and the Gators found themselves trailing 15-9 in the fourth quarter following a defensive breakdown and a safety caused by a poor snap. - South Florida/AP College Football

Kewan Lacy ran for 138 yards and a touchdown to help No. 20 Mississippi beat Kentucky 30-23 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. The Rebels (2-0) avenged a 20-17 loss to the Wildcats last year in Oxford and have won four of the past five games against Kentucky. Lacy and quarterback Austin Simmons accounted for 376 of 457 total yards of offense for Ole Miss. Simmons threw for 235 yards and overcame a pair of interceptions that resulted in an early 10-0 deficit.

Harrison Wallace III caught four passes for 117 yards for the Rebels, who had four explosive plays that went for 20 or more yards. Wallace hauled in a 55-yard strike from Simmons in the second quarter that led to Ole Miss' first score. Seth McGowan rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns for Kentucky (1-1). Zach Calzada threw for 149 yards before leaving the game in the fourth quarter after taking an apparent hit to the shoulder. - Mississippi/AP College Football

09/06/25 - RB Jamal Haynes, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech + More +

Despite not having starting quarterback Haynes King, Georgia Tech was far too much for Gardner-Webb. The Yellow Jackets cruised to a 59-12 victory over the Runnin' Bulldogs on their home opener at Bobby Dodd Stadium. King went through full warm-ups, but was ruled out just before kick-off with a "nagging lower body injury" per a Georgia Tech spokesperson. Backup Aaron Philo made his first career start and struggled early, turning the ball over on Georgia Tech's first two possessions. But a strong offensive line performance and the rushing attack from the duo of Jamal Haynes and Malachi Hosley helped him settle in. The Yellow Jackets (2-0) scored 42 unanswered points and gained 680 total yards after Gardner-Webb (1-1) briefly led 6-0. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

Georgia failed to gain momentum for next week's Southeastern Conference opener at Tennessee as the fourth-ranked Bulldogs stumbled on offense in Saturday's weather-delayed 28-6 win over Austin Peay. Chauncey Bowens and Nate Frazier each ran for two touchdowns. Frazier and wide receiver London Humphreys lost fumbles, but Georgia (2-0) made a fourth-down goal-line stop to set up a 99-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

Gunner Stockton, who passed for two touchdowns and ran for two scores in a 45-7 opening win over Marshall, leaned on the Bulldogs' running game against the Governors (1-1). He threw for 227 yards without a turnover. Lightning delayed the start of the second half for 1 hour, 46 minutes. The opening kickoff was moved up by an hour due to the ominous forecast. Georgia backup tight end Ethan Barbour was carted off the field with a lower left leg injury at the end of the first half. - Georgia/AP College Football

Dante Moore threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns, freshman Dakorien Moore ran for a score and caught a touchdown pass, and No. 6 Oregon routed Oklahoma State 69-3 on Saturday. The loss was the biggest loss for the Cowboys (1-1) in Mike Gundy's 20-year tenure as coach. Nine players scored for Oregon (2-0), which had 631 yards in total offense. The Ducks had two interception returns for touchdowns in the third quarter. On Oregon's second play of the game, Noah Whittington took off for a 59-yard TD run to give the Ducks a 7-0 lead. It was the longest run of his career. Dakorien Moore caught a deep 65-yard pass from Dante Moore on the Ducks' second drive. Dierre Hill Jr. added a 19-yard touchdown run before Logan Ward kicked a 23-yard field goal for the Cowboys' only points.

Dante Moore hit Malik Benson with a 42-yard pass, Dakorien Moore rushed 25 yards for another score, and Jayden Limar added a 5-yard TD run to make it 41-3 at halftime. Gary Bryant Jr. caught an 11 yard touchdown pass and Jordon Davison ran a yard for another score to put the Ducks up 55-3. Oregon had back-to-back interception returns for touchdowns in the third quarter: Jerry Mixon scored on a 26-yard return and Peyton Woodyard scored on a 30-yard return. Oklahoma State starting quarterback Hauss Hejny broke a bone in his foot in the team's opener, so Zane Flores, a third-year freshman, made his first career start against Oregon. Flores finished 7 of 19 for 67 yards and two interceptions. - Oregon/AP College Football
