Davis Brin threw for 355 yards and three touchdowns and Tulsa picked up its first victory of the season, a 41-34 decision over Arkansas State on Saturday night. The Golden Hurricane (1-3) amassed 663 yards with 308 yards on the ground. Shamari Brooks rushed for 155 yards and Anthony Watkins had 115 yards, highlighted by a 75-yard touchdown scamper which was one of six touchdowns of more than 30 yards in the game. Tulsa's Sam Crawford Jr. had a touchdown catch-and-run of 88 yards and Brin also threw 34 yards to JuanCarlos Santana for a score.

Arkansas State's James Blackman hit Dahu Green with a 39-yard touchdown pass and the Red Wolves (1-3) added two special teams touchdowns to keep it close. Johnnie Lang scored on a 63-yard punt return and Alan Lamar went 93 yards on a kickoff. Blackman was 23 of 37 for 321 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Arkansas State led 14-7 in the second quarter before Tulsa scored the next 24 points. - Tulsa/AP College Football

09/25/21 - Max Johnson, rSr/2027, Georgia Southern, 6-5, 225 (DS#38 QB) + More +

Max Johnson passed for 280 yards and four touchdowns to lead LSU to a 28-25 victory over late-rallying Mississippi State on Saturday. LSU (3-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) had only 343 yards offense and was 5 of 32 on third down but reeled off several big plays when needed. Mississippi State (2-2, 0-1) dominated the stat sheet with 486 yards offense and 12 third-down conversions, but turned the ball over twice inside the LSU 30-yard line and regularly squandered momentum-building drives. Neither team established dominance early, and LSU led 7-3 at the half. But on the second play of the third quarter, the Bulldogs bit on a play-action fake and Johnson found Kayshon Boutte over the top for a 64-yard score, his second of the day. Later in the quarter, the Tigers confused the MSU defense again on a similar play and Trey Palmer pitter-pattered into the end zone for a 58-yard touchdown, no defender within 20 yards.

As has become their custom, the Bulldogs made a hard push in the fourth quarter. Will Rogers found Makai Polk and Austin for late touchdowns, then with just under two minutes remaining hit Jo'Quavious Marks for a 16-yard score and Malik Heath for the two-point conversion to close the gap to 38-35. But the ensuing onside kick didn't go 10 yards and the Tigers were able to run out the clock. It was the second straight week MSU misfielded an onside kick late in the game. Johnson was 17-of-27 passing with one interception and Boutte caught four balls for 85 yards. Rogers was 47-of-62 passing for 371 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Marks rushed for 46 yards and had nine catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. - LSU/AP College Football

LSU quarterback Max Johnson gave some young, unproven receivers a chance to show what they could do. Their highlight-reel catches gave LSU every reason to keep them involved. Johnson passed for 372 yards and a career-best five touchdowns in less than three quarters, LSU defensive end Andre Anthony returned a fumble for a 33-yard score before leaving with an injury, and the Tigers topped Central Michigan 49-21 on Saturday night. With the Tigers speeding up their tempo and checking less to the sideline before the snap, Johnson completed 26 of 35 passes. "Went up-tempo to get some juice and get some things going," Johnson said, adding that the faster-pace "helped us a lot. It allowed us to get lined up - and our opponent didn't." Deion Smith, a freshman who had one catch through LSU's first two games, had touchdown catches of 28 and 40 yards in the first quarter as the Tigers (2-1) raced to a 21-0 lead.

Freshman tight end Jack Bech caught five passes for 81 yards, highlighted by his one-handed, back-shoulder, 20-yard touchdown catch along the left sideline. "Everyone saw what we are capable of tonight," Bech said. "My confidence is growing each game and we are going to put the country on notice." LSU coach Ed Orgeron figured it was only a matter of time before Smith and Bech head breakout games. "It was fun to see them do it in Tiger Stadium; I've been seeing them do it all the time in practice," Orgeron said. "Those guys are going to be tremendous." - LSU/AP College Football

LSU coach Ed Orgeron was happy to get his first victory of the season, but still knows there is plenty of work to do. Max Johnson threw for 161 yards and three touchdowns and LSU beat McNeese 34-7 Saturday night. "Not good enough offensively," Orgeron said. "It starts with protection; we must protect the quarterback better. We have to continue to improve and hopefully we will get better when we get some of our linemen back." LSU's defense held the Cowboys to 142 yards total offense.

After sputtering last week in a season-opening loss to UCLA, the LSU (1-1) offense still struggled against McNeese, gaining just 262 yards of total offense through the first three quarters and scoring just 24 points on an FCS opponent. "I'm a little surprised with how much we have struggled (offensively) these first two weeks," Orgeron said. "We want to get our athletes in space; but right now the protection is preventing it from working. If we can't protect the quarterback; it isn't going to work." Taking advantage of McNeese's (0-2) lack of depth, LSU pulled away with 10 points in the final quarter. "We weren't in a good mood coming back from Los Angeles," Orgeron said. "It didn't matter who our opponent was this week; we focused on LSU getting better." The LSU defense, however, bounced back with a stellar performance, allowing a single score on the night when senior quarterback Cody Orgeron found Carlo Williams for a 44-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. "I was very pleased with how we played defensively," Orgeron said. "Particularly with our pass rush." Freshman defensive tackle Maason Smith led the way for LSU with three sacks and six total tackles. - LSU/AP College Football

Logan Wright ran for 178 yards and a touchdown and Georgia Southern held off Gardner-Webb for a 30-25 win Saturday in a season opener. Wright's 8-yard touchdown run with 6:32 left extended the Eagles' lead to 30-18. Gardner-Webb then proceeded to march 75 yards in 11 plays and drew within 30-25 when Bailey Fisher threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Justin Franklin with 2:59 left.

Gardner-Webb then forced Georgia Southern into a three-and-out and forced a punt. The Bulldogs marched from their own 30-yard line to Georgia Southern's 29 before the Eagles' defense stiffened and came up with a back-to-back sacks of Fisher for seven and six yards. The six-yard loss came on fourth-and-17 and Georgia Southern took a knee for the final 13 seconds to end it. The Eagles ran the ball 65 times and gained 365 yards on the ground. Fisher threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns. - Georgia Southern/AP College Football

Kyle Vantrease threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to Jovany Ruiz within the first minute of the game, Buffalo coach Maurice Linguist collected his first win at the helm, and the Bulls routed Wagner 69-7 on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Kevin Marks Jr. and Dylan McDuffie each had a pair of touchdown runs for the Bulls. Ron Cook, Tajay Ahmed, and Jake Molinich added a TD run apiece.

Cook led the Bulls with 95 yards rushing, and his 6-yard touchdown run capped a two minute, 99-yard drive to end the first half. Marks added 72 yards on the ground to move to ninth all-time in the program with 1,107 career yards rushing. Linguist, who was Michigan's co-defensive coordinator last season, was the Bulls' defensive backs coach in 2012-13. Vantrease completed 15 of 19 passes for 231 yards. Matt Myers threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Marlyn Johnson midway through the third quarter. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football

Vantrease's poise and confidence have helped establish him as a leader. - Buffalo News

08/25/21 - Todd Bradley-Glenn, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern, 5-11, 230 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

It was a cruel coincidence how two of Georgia Southern's most experienced football players - whose uniform numbers were each changed to No. 1, befitting their leadership qualities - missed the Eagles' second and final scrimmage of the fall preseason on Saturday. Coach Chad Lunsford said fifth-year running back J.D. King was held out as a precaution as the former No. 15 completes his recovery from a torn ACL that ended his 2020 season prematurely. King has been medically cleared, and played in the Aug. 14 scrimmage, but was on the sidelines Saturday at Paulson Stadium.

Then Lunsford said he had some bad news that only reinforced why taking precautions is advisable in this contact sport. Inside linebacker Todd Bradley-Glenn, a sixth-year senior with a well-chronicled history of serious injuries while playing at Valdosta High School and in Statesboro, had torn his left biceps muscle in the first scrimmage and will miss the entire 2021 season. "That is a huge blow for us at the linebacker spot, but more importantly, it's a huge blow for us because of what an awesome leader he was on the field for us," Lunsford said. - Savannah Morning News

08/15/21 - Max Johnson, rSr/2027, Georgia Southern, 6-5, 225 (DS#38 QB) + More +

LSU football coach Ed Orgeron may be down to two scholarship quarterbacks with the injury to Myles Brennan this week, but that does not mean his offensive strategy will be overly protective of starter Max Johnson. "I think you have to do the things that you have to do to win just like we did with Joe," Orgeron said in reference to former quarterback Joe Burrow, who often ran with reckless abandon in 2018 and '19. "We ran quarterback draws with Joe. He scrambled. He made plays with his feet against Georgia (SEC Championship Game win in 2019). He made plays when he had to," Orgeron said after LSU's first practice of the preseason Friday.

LSU had three scholarship quarterbacks in 2019 with Brennan behind Burrow, but the third one was inexperienced true freshman Peter Parrish. "I think you have to limit things. Max wants to be a drop-back quarterback. We talked about that. I don't think we're going to have 15 different quarterback runs," Orgeron said. "He's a passer, but there's some things that we have to do to challenge the defense to win the game." Johnson rushed 18 times for 52 yards while completing 21 of 36 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 win at No. 6 Florida last season in his first collegiate start. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

08/13/21 - Max Johnson, rSr/2027, Georgia Southern, 6-5, 225 (DS#38 QB) + More +

The son of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brad Johnson, he was taught from an early age to focus on daily individual improvement instead of competing with his teammates for spots. "I don't look at it the same way people do," Johnson's father said. "I look at it as you're always in competition with yourself. There's only one quarterback that gets to play, and you've got to be ready for when your moments come." Johnson has always prepared for that moment. He received an early and detailed education on football from his father, who showed him how to complete three-, five- and seven-step drops in elementary school. They began film sessions in eighth grade, and the instruction grew from there until Johnson arrived at LSU.

Everything Johnson learned from his father, combined with his naturally composed persona, helped him win both of his starts last season. As Johnson played, coach Ed Orgeron recognized some of the same qualities he saw in former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, whose father was a coach. They carried themselves with poise. They looked serious. They displayed an internal drive to win. They were mobile. Neither of them said much at first. "He's tall, he's smart and can see a lot of things," Orgeron said. "There are some things he has to improve on, but he's a young player and that's more or less things (offensive coordinator Jake Peetz) can work on with him. But I do believe he can be a championship quarterback." - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/10/21 - Davis Brin, rSr/2024, Georgia Southern, 6-2, 207 (DS#33 QB) + More +

After up-and-down quarterback play the previous four seasons, the University of Tulsa is looking to fourth-year junior Davis Brin to ignite the Hurricane offense. "Davis Brin right now is our starting quarterback," coach Philip Montgomery said this week. "He's a guy that's taken the majority of the reps in the spring. He's also done that throughout the summer in their workouts as well as (in preseason practice)." Brin's career contributions equate to 19 completions in four games. Most notably, he orchestrated last year's comeback victory in overtime against Tulane, leading three fourth-quarter touchdown drives while showing incredible poise.

"I really love the way he handles us offensively," Montgomery said. "He's a guy that understands what we really want to do, makes great decisions, gets the ball out of his hands. We're excited about his leadership and what he's going to bring to the table." Brin has been solid in the early goings of the preseason, leaning on his experience with the first-team offense in the spring and continuing to make strides. "I'm really comfortable and confident," he said. "I feel like we picked up where we left off. We installed a lot and we just picked it up really quick and we are raising the level of execution every day." - Tulsa World
