  One small change Notre Dame has made in its offense is returning senior Jafar Armstrong to the wide receiver position. Armstrong has been playing running back since a breakout season in 2018, but his usage at the position has been almost exclusively limited to lopsided victories this year. Through six games, Armstrong registered 17 carries for eight yards and one touchdown. Armstrong was recruited by the Irish as a receiver out of Shawnee Mission (Kan.) Bishop Miege. On this week's depth chart, the 6-1, 220-pound Armstrong was listed as the No. 2 boundary receiver behind Javon McKnley. The emergence of Kyren Williams, Chris Tyree and C'Bo Flemister at running back has given the Irish the confidence to move Armstrong elsewhere. "We think that Jafar can be much more of an impact player for us at the wide receiver position," Kelly said. "He will continue to work there. Eventually when he gets a little bit more time there, he's going to impact us and help us win football games." - South Bend Tribune

  Auburn running back JaTarvious "Boobee" Whitlow has entered the NCAA's transfer portal. Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said Wednesday that Whitlow is "looking for a fresh start somewhere else." Whitlow led the Tigers in rushing the past two seasons, totaling 1,550 yards and 16 touchdowns. He had 763 yards and 10 touchdowns as a sophomore while missing the Arkansas game and seeing limited action against LSU following knee surgery. Sophomore D.J. Williams leads the returnees after gaining 400 yards last season. Auburn also signed four-star running back Tank Bigsby in December. Bigsby was the No. 4-rated running back and No. 39 overall prospect according to the 247Sports composite index of recruiting rankings. Mark-Antony Richards redshirted as a freshman after suffering a right leg injury in preseason camp. - AP College Football

  Auburn's defense held Samford to 114 yards and forced four turnovers, JaTarvious Whitlow scored twice, and the No. 16 Tigers tuned up for the Iron Bowl with a 52-0 victory Saturday at rain-drenched Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn forced and recovered a fumble on a fourth-and-4 on Samford's opening drive, the first of three turnovers and a trio of three-and-outs across Samford's first six possessions. For the game, the Tigers also had 13 tackles for loss and held Samford to 2 yards per play, 2 of 13 on third down as Auburn's defensive starters were benched a few minutes into the third quarter. Samford had scored in 213 straight games.

As the rain increased, so, too, did Auburn's offensive production. After a seven-point first quarter in which they struggled to convert third downs and had a 43-yard field goal blocked, the Tigers had 193 yards of offense and 24 points in the second. Whitlow and D.J. Williams accounted for 130 yards from scrimmage in the first half and Williams added his second touchdown of the season in the third quarter. The Tigers nearly eclipsed 300 rushing yards for the second time this season, finishing with 294 and four rushing scores. After completing 15 of 23 passes for 150 yards and a score, Bo Nix's day also was done early in the third quarter. - Auburn/AP College Football
