Western Michigan has hired Louisville offensive coordinator Lance Taylor to lead its football program. Athletic director Dan Bartholomae made the announcement Thursday. The 41-year-old Taylor coached running backs for three seasons each at Notre Dame and Stanford. He was also an assistant at Appalachian State and with the NFL's Carolina Panthers and New York Jets. Alabama coach Nick Saban gave Taylor his start in coaching as a graduate assistant in 2007. Taylor walked on the Crimson Tide's team in 1999 and later earned a scholarship as a receiver and special teams captain for former coach Mike Shula. Taylor, who is from Mount Vernon, Alabama, played professionally in the Arena Football League for the Colorado Crush and Columbus Destroyers. - AP College Football

12/02/22 - Avantae Williams, rSr/2025, Transfer, 5-11, 198 (DS#999 SS) + More +

Another Miami Hurricane is headed into the transfer portal and this time it's a player who once seemed to be on a star trajectory. After falling out of favor and seeing a shrunken role as a sophomore, Avantae Williams is transferring from Miami, he announced on Twitter. Williams had a tumultous career with the Hurricanes - including a health issue, a domestic-violence accusation and, ultimately, an impressive freshman season in 2021 - and is now planning to head elsewhere to wrap up his college career. The safety will have three years of eligibility left after a medical issue kept him off the field for the entire 2020 season.

Williams is the seventh Miami to announce his intentions to transfer this month and the fourth defensive back. The others so far are running back Thaddius Franklin Jr., defensive lineman Allan Haye and Elijah Roberts, and defensive backs Gilbert Frierson, Jalen Harrell and Keshawn Washington. Williams is also maybe the Hurricanes' highest profile entrant so far. The 6-foot, 198-pound defensive back was Miami's top-ranked addition in the Class of 2020, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. - Miami Herald

Jaylen Anderson ran for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and West Virginia defeated Oklahoma State 24-19 on Saturday afternoon. Anderson, a redshirt freshman, had rushed for 120 yards all season before the game. He paced a West Virginia ground attack that pounded out 250 yards rushing on a cold, rainy day that kept most fans at home. West Virginia (5-7, 3-6 Big 12) snapped a seven-game losing skid in the series. Oklahoma State's home win streak ended at 14 games. Oklahoma State freshman Ollie Gordon ran for 136 yards and a touchdown. Garret Rangel started at quarterback for the Cowboys in place of Spencer Sanders, who has dealt with injuries throughout the season. Rangel passed for 178 yards.

Oklahoma State (7-5, 4-5) took over trailing 24-19 with 1:29 remaining, but Rangel threw four straight incomplete passes. Oklahoma State led 10-7 at halftime as the teams produced just 301 combined yards. West Virginia opened the second half with a scoring drive that ended with Anderson's 54-yard touchdown run. Anderson followed that with a 57-yard scoring run minutes later that put the Mountaineers up 21-10. Gordon scored on a 23-yard touchdown run later in the quarter, but the 2-point conversion failed, leaving West Virginia ahead 21-19. Casey Legg's 34-yard field goal pushed the Mountaineers' lead to 24-19 with about six minutes to play. - West Virginia/AP College Football

2022 NORTHEAST CONFERENCE OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: WR Makai Jackson, Saint Francis U,...Jackson exploded onto the scene by winning the NEC Rookie of the Week honor a league-best four times, including three times during the first four weeks of his career. Tacking on a pair of NEC Offensive Player of the Week awards and one NEC Special Teams Player of the Week accolade to that already impressive resume, the Keystone State product is the nation's top-ranked rookie in receptions and receiving yards per game.

Registering 81 yards in his collegiate debut in an overtime loss to Akron, Jackson exceeded the 100-yard mark in his next three games in a stretch that included a career-best 123-yard performance at Richmond.
