Maddux Madsen passed for 307 yards and two touchdowns and Boise State won its 13th home opener in a row, beating Eastern Washington 51-14 Friday night before a sellout crowd. Madsen completed 16 of 26 passes for the Broncos (1-1), who upped their win streak against FCS opponents to 22 dating to 1997. Madsen connected with Ben Ford for a 60-yard touchdown in the first quarter and then ran 11 yards for a score in the second to help the Broncos take a 30-7 lead into halftime.

09/05/25 - WR Chris Bell, Sr/2026, Louisville + More +

Louisville defensive end AJ Green recovered a fourth-quarter fumble in the James Madison end zone and the Cardinals rallied to beat the Dukes 28-14 on Friday night. Green gave Louisville a 21-14 lead when Alonza Barnett III fumbled while being sacked. The Cardinals (2-0) trailed 14-6 early in the second half. On a night when both offenses struggled, it was the Cardinals defensive front that made the difference.

Louisville's Miller Moss threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Chris Bell in the third quarter and then ran for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14 with 8:37 left. The Cardinals sacked Barnett in the end zone two minutes into the final period on a third-and-10 play at the Dukes' 8-yard line. That was one of six sacks recorded by Louisville. Barnett completed 15 of 25 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. Louisville's Isaac Brown had 12 carries for 104 yards, and his 78-yard touchdown with 3:31 left secured the game for Louisville. - Louisville/AP College Football

09/05/25 - QB Malik Washington, Fr/2029, Maryland + More +

Malik Washington threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Shaleak Knotts on fourth down, and Maryland held off Northern Illinois 20-9 on Friday night. The Terrapins (2-0) extended their winning streak against nonconference opponents to 17, the nation's longest active run. Washington threw for 254 yards and two touchowns in the freshman's second college game. The Huskies (1-1) couldn't pull off a repeat of Week 2 last year, when they shocked Notre Dame in what was the lone regular-season loss for the Irish. Telly Johnson scored on a 74-yard run in the third, but Northern Illinois offered little on offense besides that.

Maryland led 13-9 late in the third and had the ball inside the Northern Illinois 10 before Washington lost a fumble. The Terrapins forced the Huskies to punt from their own 1, but Maryland failed to do anything with great field position and punted back. On their next possession, the Terps faced fourth-and-5 from the 42, and Washington threw deep to Knotts, who slipped behind safety Jasper Beeler, caught the ball and strolled into the end zone. Washington also threw a 12-yard TD pass to Dorian Fleming in the second quarter. - Maryland/AP College Football

09/05/25 - QB Preston Stone, rSr/2026, Northwestern + More +

New quarterback Preston Stone passed for 245 yards and his first three touchdowns with Northwestern, leading the Wildcats to a 42-7 rout of Western Illinois on Friday night. Hayden Eligon II, Hunter Welcing and Drew Wagner pulled in Stone's scoring passes. Cam Porter rushed for a touchdown and 91 yards as Northwestern (1-1) dominated its home opener at Martin Stadium, its temporary lakeside field. Backup QB Ryan Boe fought off a defender and raced 58 yards for a score midway through the fourth quarter and Luke Akers added a pair of field goals. Porter didn't return after limping to the sidelines with a lower-body injury six minutes into the third quarter. Two trainers helped him off the field after he emerged from a pileup. The six-year grad student led Northwestern in rushing in 2020, 2023 and 2024.

Stone, a graduate transfer from SMU, connected on 21 of 29 passes. He recovered nicely after throwing a career-high four interceptions in his Wildcats debut - a 23-3 loss at Tulane last week. Griffin Wilde caught five passes for 94 yards to help boost Northwestern's total yards to 526. Western Illinois scored on backup quarterback Cason Carswell's 8-yard pass to Christian Anaya with 2:49 remaining. Western Illinois (0-2) was limited to 181 yards. Leathernecks starting quarterback Chris Irvin was held to 27 yards on 5-for-18 passing before Carswell entered and went 6 for 8 for 52 yards. Northwestern scored its first two touchdowns of the season on its first two possessions, then expanded its lead to 22-0 at the half. - Northwestern/AP College Football
