Nicco Marchiol passed for one touchdown and threw for another, Jahiem White had two short TD runs and West Virginia beat Robert Morris 45-3 on Saturday in Rich Rodriguez's coaching return with the Mountaineers. Heavy favorite West Virginia scored easily on possessions to start each half but struggled in between in the season opener for both teams. The Mountaineers lost fumbles on three straight drives in the second quarter and let its Championship Subdivision opponent hang around for a while to the dismay of Rodriguez, who coached at West Virginia from 2001 to 2007 and was hired last December to take over for the fired Neal Brown.

West Virginia led just 10-3 at halftime before White had TD runs of 1 and 4 yards in the third quarter. The second score came after linebacker Reid Carrico recovered a fumble at the Robert Morris 24. White rushed for 93 yards on 18 carries. He's taken over the bulk of rushing load this season after splitting duties a year ago with the now-departed CJ Donaldson. Marchiol was efficient and improved to 4-0 as a starter. The junior completed 17 of 20 passes for 224 yards, including a 46-yard TD toss to Cam Vaughn, who made an over-the-shoulder catch in stride down the right sideline. Vaughn, who came with Rodriguez from Jacksonville State, had seven catches for 127 yards. Marchiol opened the scoring with a 10-yard TD run. The Mountaineers also got fourth-quarter TD runs of 26 yards from Cyncir Bowers and 59 yards from backup quarterback Scotty Fox Jr. - West Virginia/AP College Football

Mateen Bhaghani converted a 32-yard field goal with 56 seconds to play to help UCLA open its season with a 16-13 win over Hawaii on Saturday night. The Bruins (1-0) did all their scoring in the second half to erase a 10-0 halftime deficit against the Rainbow Warriors (1-1).

03/10/23 - Isaiah Paul, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-1, 232 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

Two months after joining Washington State's football team, Isaiah Paul is heading back to the portal. The senior linebacker, who signed with WSU in early January, announced Wednesday over Twitter that he plans to reenter the NCAA transfer portal in May. Paul spent the past five years at Incarnate Word. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was a three-year starter at the FCS program in San Antonio - though injuries derailed his 2022 campaign. Paul recorded 137 tackles and 20 1/2 tackles for loss between 2019-22.

Paul was expected to compete for a significant playing role at WSU in 2023. The Cougars also added transfer LBs Devin Richardson (Texas) and Ahmad McCullough (Maryland). Those two will be in the mix for starting jobs along with WSU veteran Kyle Thornton and redshirt freshman Hudson Cedarland - one of the prized recruits in WSU's 2022 class. - Spokesman-Review

03/07/23 - Justin Flowe, rSr/2027, Transfer, 6-2, 230 (DS#50 ILB) + More +

Former five-star linebacker Justin Flowe's career at Oregon was derailed by injuries. 'That's all in the past,' he says. 'All I can do now is focus on the future.' When Justin Flowe officially became a college football player in 2020, many thought by this point he'd be preparing for the NFL draft. Currently, the only thing connecting Flowe and the NFL is the league's shield logo tattooed on his right hand. But that could change if everything goes according to plan in the linebacker's new chapter with the Arizona Wildcats. Flowe's Plan A? The Upland, California, native, who played in Snoop Dogg's youth football league as a kid and developed the moniker "Baby Man," signed with the Oregon Ducks as a five-star prospect and top-ranked inside linebacker nationally.

Plan A was slowed down by a sequence of knee and foot injuries in Flowe's first two seasons at Oregon before he finished with a career-high 35 tackles in 2022, including four in Tucson against the UA. But Flowe clamored for a change of scenery and entered the transfer portal with hopes that Plan B could lead to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell saying Flowe's name at the draft podium. "I just see it as adversity," Flowe said. "Adversity happens to everybody, so (it's about) the way you get through it. I'm just planning now to thrive this year and be the best I can be. "That's all in the past. All I can do now is focus on the future." - Arizona Star News
