Javon Gipson caught a go-ahead touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, Brandon Perez kicked three field goals, and Kaghen Roach was involved in three sacks to lead Abilene Christian past Eastern Kentucky 17-10 on Saturday. After Perez kicked his third of the day to tie the game at 10 apiece, Chris Wright strip-sacked Myles Burkett and Roach fell on the ball. Three plays later, Stone Earle found Gipson for a 6-yard, go-ahead strike with 4:08 remaining. Earle hit Jed Castles for a successful two-point conversion.

Gipson led the Wildcats (FCS No. 20, 7-4, 6-1 United Athletic) with 100 yards on six catches. Earle was 23-of-41 passing for 226 yards. Roach led a six-sack day for the Wildcats defense, netting 2.5 for himself, along with two quarterback hurries. Burkett was 10 of 20 for 165 yards for the Colonels (4-7, 2-5 UAC). Their offense was held to 165 total yards with just 10 on the ground. Their scores came from a fumble and a turnover on downs. Brayden Latham's 3-yard rush at the 9:13 mark of the fourth quarter put them ahead before Gipson's touchdown. - AP College Football

01/08/23 - JayVeon Sunday, rJr/2026, Abilene Christian, 5-11, 201 (DS#999 RB) + More +

With a whopping nine scholarship players, Washington had an obvious roster crunch at running back this offseason. And on Thursday, Jay'Veon Sunday provided a little relief. Sunday - a 6-foot, 203-pound sophomore - has entered the transfer portal, a source confirmed to The Times. The Waco, Texas, product has three seasons of remaining eligibility. Sunday signed with Washington as a three-star recruit out of Connally High School in 2020, but has contributed just 29 rushing yards and 3.2 yards per carry in five career games. Buried behind the likes of Wayne Taulapapa, Cameron Davis, Richard Newton and Will Nixon on UW's depth chart, Sunday appeared in just one game this fall.

Albeit in a pass-first offensive system, UW ranked fifth in the Pac-12 in rushing touchdowns (33), sixth in rushing (146.46 yards per game) and seventh in yards per carry (4.76) in 2022 - led primarily by Taulapapa (887 rushing yards, 6.3 yards per carry, 12 TD) and Davis (522, 4.9, 13). The Huskies have already added three scholarship running backs this offseason - Arizona State transfer Daniyel Ngata, Mississippi State transfer Dillon Johnson and three-star freshman Tybo Rogers. UW is slated to return Davis, Newton, Nixon and sophomores Sam Adams II and Aaron Dumas as well. - Seattle Times
