08/30/24 - QB Cameron Rising, rSr/2025, Utah + More +

Cam Rising made his return with a career-high five touchdown passes - three to Brant Kuithe - to power No. 12 Utah to a 49-0 win over Southern Utah on Thursday night. Rising, a seventh-year senior quarterback, shined in his first game action since tearing multiple knee ligaments in the Utes' Rose Bowl loss to Penn State on Jan. 2, 2023, going 10 of 15 for 254 yards and 25 rushing yards as the 84th consecutive sellout crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium held its collective breath on each rush. He left the game in the second quarter with Utah up 35-0.

Kuithe, who also missed last season and most of the 2022 campaign, caught three touchdown passes - all in the second quarter. He caught a 29-yard toss for a score on the first play of the quarter before an 18-yarder three minutes later. With 1:08 to play in the half, Kuithe fought off three defenders on his way into the end zone on a 11-yard grab. Rising's barrage marked the first time Utah had five passing TDs in a half since Brian Johnson against San Diego State in 2008, the last season Utah went undefeated. In their first game as a member of the Big 12 Conference, the Utes churned 513 yards of total offense in their 15th straight win over FCS opponents. Utah only reached the 500-yard mark once in 2023, against Arizona State. Kuithe wrote his way into the Big 12 record book as the first tight end to ever have three touchdown receptions in a half. - AP College Football

08/29/24 - QB Max Johnson, rSr/2026, North Carolina + More +

North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson left the season opener at Minnesota with an injury to his right knee in the third quarter of his debut with the Tar Heels on Thursday night. Johnson, who transferred from Texas A&M and won the job to replace third overall NFL draft pick Drake Maye, was hurt when his leg bent awkwardly while being taken to the ground on a blitz by Justin Walley.

Johnson immediately clutched his right knee and stayed down for several minutes. After beginning to limp off with assistance from the medical staff, he was instead put on a cart to be taken off the field. After a rough first half, Johnson went 8 for 9 for 43 yards in the third quarter. He was replaced by Conner Harrell with the Gophers leading 14-10. Johnson, the son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, started his college career at LSU. This was the 23rd start for the fifth-year player. - AP College Football

08/29/24 - QB Joe Labas, rSr/2026, Central Michigan + More +

Joey Labas threw for three touchdowns and 342 yards and completed 75% of his passes and Central Michigan beat Central Connecticut 66-10 on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Labas finished 18-for-24 passing overall and did most of his damage before halftime, completing 16 of 20 for 268 yards and two touchdowns and sending the Chippewas to a 42-7 halftime advantage. Myles Bailey opened the scoring by running in from 7 yards out for a 7-0 Central Michigan lead. Elijah Howard knotted it with a 3-yard run, but on the following kickoff, Stephan Bracey ran 87 yards to score and Central Michigan pulled away.

A four touchdown second quarter saw B.J. Harris run it in from the 9, Labas threw scores of 47 and 17 yards to Evan Boyd and Solomon Davis respectively and Bailey ran it in from the 2 with 37 seconds left before halftime. Wrapped around Labas' 72-yard scoring pass to Davis in the third, Donte Kent returned a punt for a 66-yard score and Aakeem Snell had a 46-yard interception return with 1:48 left in the third. Blue Devils (0-1) quarterback Brady Olson finished 12-for-20 passing for 90 yards. - AP College Football

08/29/24 - RB Terion Stewart, rSr/2026, Virginia Tech + More +

Justin Pegues took the opening kick and raced 100 yards for a touchdown and Terion Stewart ran for three scores, including 73 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Bowling Green rolled to a 41-17 win over Fordham in the season-opener on Thursday night. The Falcons opened their season at home for the first time since 2019 with their first meeting with the Rams. Pegues, a transfer from Tennessee Tech, fielded the opening kick while straddling the goal line, found a big hole in the Fordham kick coverage at the 20 and raced down the right-hand sideline for the score just 12 seconds into the contest. Jaison Patterson threw a pair of key blocks to help spring Pegues.

Stewart scored the first offensive touchdown for Bowling Green, bursting seven-yards for the score midway through the first quarter. Lucian Anderson III scored from 13-yards out to make it 20-0 after a quarter. Connor Bazelak added an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter before Bennett Henderson connected on a 24-yard field goal as time expired to get the Rams on the board before intermission. CJ Montes hit Cole Thornton for a 30-yard touchdown to start the third quarter, but Stewart scored on a seven-yard run late in the third quarter and put the game away with his 73-yard score midway though the fourth quarter. - AP College Football

08/24/24 - TE RJ Maryland, Sr/2026, Southern Methodist + More +

Preston Stone connected on a 35-yard touchdown pass to RJ Maryland with 1:18 left in the fourth quarter and Southern Methodist avoided an upset to open the season, defeating Nevada 29-24 on Saturday night.A near four-touchdown favorite, SMU needed a fourth-quarter comeback to survive the first game of its inaugural season as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. "I think as a collective we struggled in the first half," Stone said. "The defense did a good job in the first half of getting stops. We (the offense) were stalling." He added: "Unfortunately for Nevada they played man against RJ, and they just can't do that." Down 24-13, the SMU comeback started with 10 minutes left and the Mustangs pinned at their own 10-yard line. On third down and short, Stone connected on a 49-yard pass to Maryland. SMU finished the drive with a Brashard Smith 4-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion to pull within 24-21.

On Nevada's next possession, SMU defensive lineman Anthony Booker Jr. tackled Nevada quarterback Brendon Lewis in the end zone for a safety to pull the Mustangs within a point with eight minutes left in the game. SMU began its winning drive on its own 17-yard line with 3:31 left. The nine play, 83-yard drive ended with Maryland's winning catch. SMU's 6-foot-4 junior tight end and son of former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Russell Maryland finished the game with eight receptions for 162 yards. Stone completed 17 of 30 passes for 254 yards with a touchdown and an interception. - AP College Football
