Townsend, a 6-foot, 220-pound freshman, caught a short pass around the 45 and broke a pair of would-be tackles as he raced to the end zone to make it 31-10 less than two minutes into the second half. An interception by Kalen Carroll gave Central Michigan the ball at its own 42 and Labas threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Nasir Williams that gave the Chippewas a 28-point lead with 7:50 to go in the third quarter.

08/30/25 - Trey Cornist, rSo/2028, Central Michigan, 6-0, 215 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Cade Graham kicked the go-ahead field goal with 4:13 left and Central Michigan tipped aside San Jose's field goal attempt with just under three minutes left to earn a 16-14 win in the season opener for both teams Friday night.

San Jose State had one last drive and Lynch attempted a career-long field goal from 56-yards out, but it also sailed wide as time ran out. Central Michigan built a 13-0 lead after Trey Cornist capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 29-yard run in the first quarter and Graham kicked field goals fro0m 34- and 28-yards out. Walker Eget answered with an 11-yard touchdown to Leland Smith in the second quarter to make it 13-7 at the half, then hit Danny Scudero for a 45-yard score early in the third quarter to take a 14-13 lead. - Central Michigan/AP College Football

When it comes to quarterbacks, the transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh away. The Iowa football team gained two quarterbacks from the portal and lost two quarterbacks to the portal. The turnover, along with Spencer Petras' shoulder injury, means Iowa's quarterback room will look significantly different in 2023. Gone: Alex Padilla and Carson May were Iowa's two departures via the transfer portal at quarterback. Padilla appeared in 13 games in an Iowa uniform since 2020 and completed 49 percent of his passes while throwing three touchdowns and four interceptions. May, a true freshman, did not see any game action in his lone season in Iowa City.

Who is back: Joe Labas is expected to return for his sophomore year after making his collegiate debut in the 2022 Music City Bowl. Labas went 14-for-24 with one touchdown and no interceptions despite practicing almost exclusively on the scout team until bowl prep began. Spencer Petras is staying with the Hawkeyes at least through the spring as he rehabs his shoulder. He tore his rotator cuff and labrum in his throwing shoulder in Iowa's Nov. 25 loss to Nebraska. - The Gazette
