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 dism ay 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 sc ore 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. Marchio l 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 J acksonville 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

AJ Swann threw three touchdown passes and Rashod Dubinion ran for 111 yards and a score as Appalachian State rolled to a 34-11 win over Charlotte in the Duke's Mayo Classic on Friday night. The game marked Charlotte's Dowell Loggains first game as a head coach at any level and his 49ers took a 3-0 lead on Liam Boyd's 42-yard first-quarter field goal, but the Mountaineers rolled off 27 straight points to make it 27-3 to start the fourth quarter.Dubinion capped an 81-yard, nine-play drive with a 2- yard TD run and Swann sandwiched a 10-yard pass to Jaden Barnes and a 19-yard strike to Kanen Hamlett around Dominic De Freitas' field goals from 47-and 35-yards out. Swann's final touchdown, a 1-yard toss to Alex Sanchez, capped the scoring. Swann was 3 1 of 46 passing for 368 yards and Barnes caught six for 134 yards and a score. Appalachian State rolled to 586 yards of offense while holding the 49ers to just 218.

Dylan Raiola threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns, and Malcolm Hartzog Jr. picked off Brendan Sorsby's pass in the end zone with 34 seconds left, preserving Nebraska's 20-17 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Emmett Johnson had 108 yards rushing while Dane Key and Nyziah Hunter had touchdown catches for the Huskers. Sorsby had just 69 yards passing for the Bearcats, but he also had 96 yards rushing and two scores. And he gamely led them to two second-half touchdowns, and n early a third that could have won the game had Hartzog not been there to intercept it. The Bearcats actually led 3-0 early and were still within 6-3 late in the first half when they made a crucial mistake.Despite his offense going nowhere, Cincinn ati coach Scott Satterfield tried pushing the ball downfield on first-and-10 at its own 19 with 1:02 left before the break. Sorsby completed a short pass to Caleb Goodie, but the ball popped loose and was recovered by the Huskers, who needed just three p lays to punch it into the end zone. Instead of trailing by a field goal, the Bearcats headed to the locker room trailing 13-3 - a seemingly insurmountable deficit given they had managed 20 yards passing and 81 yards of total offense over the first 30 min utes. Cincinnati fought to get back in it in the second half, though. It stopped the Huskers on fourth down early in the third quarter, and Sorsby finished the ensuing drive by diving over the pylon for a touchdown. And when Nebraska answered with a TD o f its own, Sorsby needed just 3 1/2 minutes to drive the Bearcats 75 yards and get within 20-17 with 7:15 left. The Bearcats got the ball back with about 2 minutes to go, but Hartzog made the clinching play in the final minute. - Nebraska/AP College Foot ball

Preston Zachman intercepted two passes to lead Wisconsin's dominant defensive effort as the Badgers withstood an injury to quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. and opened their season by beating Miami (Ohio) 17-0 on Thursday. Wisconsin's first shutout since a 3 8-0 victory over Western Illinois in 2022 enabled the Badgers to turn the page after a disappointing finish to their 2024 season. The Badgers lost their last five games a year ago to finish 5-7, ending a string of 22 straight winning seasons and bowl app earances.Now the Badgers await word on Edwards, who suffered a lower-body injury in the second quarter. Edwards limped after making a handoff, headed to the injury tent and eventually went into the locker room. He wore sweats as he watched the sec ond half from the sideline. Edwards was making his Wisconsin debut after throwing for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns for Maryland last season. Wisconsin led 3-0 at the time of his exit. Danny O'Neil, who started 11 games for San Diego State as a freshman last season, took over for Edwards and went 12 of 19 for 120 yards with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Vinny Anthony as well as an interception. O'Neil also scored on a 1-yard run. - Wisconsin/AP College Football
