  After two years of waiting marked by a mysterious illness and a winding transfer saga, Bru McCoy was due a break. As it turned out, in his long-awaited debut Saturday for USC, he'd get two. Both of which would be crucial in securing a 28-27 comeback victory over Arizona State. The redshirt freshman wideout caught only two passes for 19 yards before the Trojans faced a fourth-and-13 with fewer than three minutes remaining. McCoy wasn't even the target when quarterback Kedon Slovis uncorked a throw toward the left corner of the end zone, knowing a penalty flag for offside against Arizona State had already been thrown. The target of that throw, Amon-ra St. Brown, was blanketed by defenders. But he managed to tip the ball into the air. Nearby, McCoy was conveniently waiting. As the ball fluttered in the air, McCoy snagged it. Then, he threw his arms up in celebration.

"It felt great," McCoy said. "More than anything, just happy to be out there, happy to help the team get a big win. It's been a long time since I've been able to play a game, so there were a lot of jitters heading into the game." But those jitters were well behind him when, immediately after his touchdown catch, the freshman was among the Trojans sent to recover a desperation onside kick. McCoy had never practiced onside coverage before. When freshman kicker Parker Lewis delivered a perfect attempt on his first-ever try, McCoy thought he'd messed up his assignment. "I thought I could attack the ball," McCoy said. "I was kind of waiting for that big one up to jump up and go get it, but it stayed low. It kind of fell inside and I was staring at the ball the whole time." - Los Angeles Times

  Asked about fourth-year junior defensive lineman Phidarian Mathis, Saban said Wednesday, "I think Phil has played really well, he's got his weight down his quickness is better. That's the thing that I think has helped him the most. I think he's playing with a lot more initial quickness, moving better, rushing better, the guy's got a really really good motor. He plays hard all the time and his production has increased with those improvements. I'm really pleased with him; I think he sets a really good example for the young guys so we're pleased with that as well." - Birmingham News

  Grayson McCall threw for 203 yards and a score, Massimo Biscardi had three field goals and No. 15 Coastal Carolina improved to 7-0 with a 23-6 victory Saturday night over South Alabama. McCall completed 16 of 23 passes including a 9-yard scoring pass to C.J. Marable as the Chanticleers (5-0 Sun Belt Conference) outgained the Jaguars (3-4, 2-2) by more than 100 yards, including 236 yards on the ground, and the defense recorded recorded five sacks. The Chants entered Saturday's game with an 11-6 advantage in turnover margin to rank 21st in the nation, and a nearly 10-minute advantage in time of possession to rank ninth in the country. Coastal held a 17-6 lead at halftime and Biscardi kicked a pair of field goals in the second half for the Chants. Coastal struck first on its first possession, driving 72 yards in seven plays for a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down by Shermari White. A key play in the drive was a 46-yard run by Reese White. - AP College Football

  Drake London caught a 21-yard touchdown pass with 1:20 to play, and No. 20 Southern California rallied from a late 13-point deficit for a 28-27 victory over Arizona State on Saturday in the Pac-12's long-delayed season opener. Bru McCoy caught a deflected 26-yard TD pass with 2:52 left for the Trojans (1-0), and Max Williams recovered the onside kick. On fourth and 9, Kedon Slovis fired a pass down the middle to London, and the two-sport athlete beat double coverage to haul it in for an electrifying score.

USC's defense then stopped Arizona State (0-1) on downs near midfield with 50 seconds left to preserve an astonishing comeback for perpetually embattled coach Clay Helton's team. Until their rally, the Trojans were struggling through a game that began at 9 a.m. USC agreed to its earliest kickoff in at least 70 years for a national television audience, but it looked like another embarrassment for Helton and his Trojans - before it abruptly turned into a thrilling triumph. Slovis passed for 381 yards for USC, while Stephen Carr and Markese Stepp made scoring runs in the first half. London also caught eight passes for 125 yards, but the Trojans seemed finished after they committed three turnovers and turned the ball over on downs two more times - all inside ASU territory. - AP College Football

  Jaquarion Turner had a career-best 208 yards rushing, Trae Self accounted for two touchdowns and Stephen F. Austin beat Eastern Kentucky 24-6 on Saturday. Stephen F. Austin (5-3) has a five-game winning streak, its first since 2011. Self ran for a 7-yard touchdown and threw a 30-yard TD pass to Xavier Gipson in the first quarter. Zach Nwachukwu's 22-yard punt return for a touchdown stretched the Lumberjacks' lead to 21-6 late in the third quarter. Turner, a redshirt freshman, had 21 carries, including a 39-yard run to help set up Chris Campos' 24-yard field goal. Self completed 12 of 18 passes for 124 yards. Gipson finished with six catches for 74 yards and 22 yards rushing. Dakota Allen was 14-of-36 passing for 158 yards and threw two interceptions for Eastern Kentucky (2-5).

  Colorado could be without one of its best offensive players for a while. On Monday, it was revealed running back Alex Fontenot, the Buffaloes' leading rusher in 2019, will miss Saturday's season opener against UCLA (5 p.m., TV: ESPN2) with an undisclosed injury. On Tuesday, head coach Karl Dorrell said there's no guarantee the 6-foot, 205-pound junior from Richmond, Tex., will play this season. Fontenot was injured in practice late last week. "It's unfortunate that he's dealing with an issue but it's not surgical, which is a good thing," Dorrell said. "He's gonna have to heal up. This is a short season and no one's losing eligibility this year, so we hope to have him back at some point this year and if not, then we'll have him ready to go next year in the fall." As a first-year starter in 2019, Fontenot led the Buffs with 874 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, while handling 57.6 percent of the running back carries. He also caught 27 passes for 122 yards. "He's obviously very disappointed," Dorrell said. "He was counting on himself coming back from a pretty good sophomore year, coming in and playing this year." - Daily Camera

  The jewelry and Bible verses around Uiagalelei's neck and wrists say as much as the stats do about this delightfully different 19-year-old. Uiagalelei offered a tour on Monday. The large "Big Cinco" medallion fits with the No. 5 jersey and goes back to his high school days at St. John Bosco in Bellflower, Calif., 20 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. "Someone just called me Big Cinco," Uiagalelei said. "I just heard the name. I said, "Oh, I like that. That's pretty cool. That's like a different thing." So Big Cinco started using #BigCinco in social media posts. The Big Cinco necklace got some play during ABC's telecast of the Boston College-Clemson game, in which Uiagalelei threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns. "I like wearing chains," he said. There's another No. 5 chain. The "T" chain honors his mother, Tausha. But this kid is more than a little glitz. - Charleston Post Courier

  A week off was just what Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis needed. As the Seminoles prepare to host Pittsburgh Saturday, few players needed the time off than Travis, who left the field following the team's disappointing 48-16 loss to Louisville two weeks ago battered and bruised. Through the first six games of the season, including three consecutive starts, the redshirt sophomore has endured a litany of injuries to everything from his legs to his throwing hand and shoulder. The West Palm Beach native appeared limited during the loss to the Cardinals and was replaced by true freshman Chubba Purdy late in the fourth quarter.

"I think it was big-time help for him," FSU coach Mike Norvell said of the bye's impact on Travis. "He's played extremely hard these last three games, four games. He's done a nice job, but he's had some bumps and bruises along the way. "He's done a good job during the week making sure he's getting treatment and taking care of his body in a normal workweek but having the bye week allowed him to be able to step back and have a few couple days to heal up." Travis said the off week came at a good time. "It helped me heal, for sure," Travis said. "My body feels good and mentally, it did a lot for me so I could focus on the week in practice [and]...all the little things about the offense." - Sun-Sentinel

  Charles Snowden put together one of the most dominant individual performances of any ACC player this weekend. The linebacker finished with 10 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in the UVa football team's 44-41 upset victory over North Carolina on Saturday. The stellar showing earned Snowden ACC Linebacker of the Week honors. "I had gotten off to a slow start this year and now to finally be producing and making plays, it feels great," Snowden said after the game. "Sacks always are a great thing." On the season, Snowden's sack tally sits at five. All five of the sacks have come in the past two games. After recording 22 tackles and one tackle for loss in UVa's first four games this season, Snowden posted 18 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in the team's previous two contests. He's stepped up, playing some of the best football of his career in the past two games. - Charlottesville Daily Progress

  Entering his fourth season, Alex Forsyth is naturally one of Oregon's most veteran offensive linemen. He's also one of its most experienced. But those are relative terms for the Ducks this year as they replace the most experienced offensive line in the country, featuring Outland Trophy winner Penei Sewell, NFL Draft picks Shane Lemieux and Jake Hanson, undrafted free agents Calvin Throckmorton and Brady Aiello and starter Dallas Warmack. Forsyth is the vocal leader of the new starting five, significantly important since he's taking over at center, a position he's never played in a game. Yet only redshirt-senior Sam Poutasi has been at Oregon longer than Forsyth and only redshirt-sophomore Steven Jones has played more snaps, that's that's only 170 compared to 91.

"I think Alex would've started at probably every other school in the country last year," said Ryan Walk, his roommate and fellow offensive linemen. "He was ready to play and if we needed to call on him last year he was going to be absolutely ready to go. I think that's a testament to him as a person and as a player. "He prepares as hard or harder than every single person on this team every single week. Whether he was with the ones, twos or threes he was going into every single game like he needed to start and play 75 snaps. He's carried that over to this year where he's a guy now, he's a leader and he's stepped into that role really well. I think that's really important for our offensive line to have a guy like that." - The Oregonian

  In just its fourth year as a Football Bowl Subdivision participant, the Coastal Carolina football team has already made Sun Belt Conference history. The Chanticleers appeared at No. 15 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll released Sunday, a day after routing conference rival Georgia State 51-0 in Atlanta. The No. 15 ranking is the highest for a Sun Belt team ever, eclipsing No. 19 rankings held by Appalachian State last year and Louisiana twice this season. CCU also set a conference record with its 16th ranking in the Amway Coaches Poll presented by USA Today Sports, besting the Mountaineers' end-of-season 18th standing in the poll last year.

The Chants were picked by conference coaches to finish last in the preseason poll, which has helped fuel their 6-0 start that includes a win over Big 12 team Kansas and a formerly ranked Louisiana squad. "Everybody picking us last, it was crazy to see in the beginning," junior wide receiver Jaivon Heiligh said following Saturday's win over Georgia State. "They just didn't realize. Hopefully they realize now, and we're not done." - Myrtle Beach Online
