  Now that's more like it, Alabama. Playing for the first time since its crushing loss to Clemson in the national championship game, the second-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish start to blow out Duke 42-3 Saturday in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns before calling it a day late in the third quarter. "The goal we had in this game was to try to re-establish our identity as a team in terms of the discipline that we played with, the kind of toughness and accountability, and everybody putting the team first," coach Nick Saban said.

It didn't quite start out like he was hoping. Returning to the stadium where it won the Southeastern Conference title last December and the national championship two seasons ago, the Tide (1-0) was held scoreless in the first quarter - which happened only one time in 2018. But the Blue Devils (0-1) merely delayed the inevitable. Tagovailoa, whose brilliant sophomore season ended with a thud, completed 26 of 31 passes before giving way to backup Mac Jones with the Tide up 35-3. The left-hander spread the ball all over the field, going to his tight ends early on before turning to his dynamic receiving corps. "Tua played really well," Saban said. "He usually plays well when he's patient and takes what the defense gives." - AP College Football

  Nebraska running back Maurice Washington, who faces pornography charges in California stemming from an incident when he was in high school, was suspended for the first half against South Alabama on Saturday and any further disciplinary action will be determined by how his court case plays out. Washington, the Cornhuskers' second-leading returning rusher, carried six times for 39 yards and caught one pass for 13 in the second half of the 35-21 victory. His status was unknown to the public heading into the game. Coach Scott Frost said afterward that university administration and the coaching staff made a joint decision late Thursday or early Friday to suspend Washington for the first half.

Washington also was disciplined internally and missed the spring game in April. "We won't consider additional discipline for him until the matter is adjudicated," Frost said. Dedrick Mills started at running back and rushed 15 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns. Washington, a sophomore, faces a felony count of possessing a video or photograph of a person under 18 who is engaging in or simulating sexual conduct and a misdemeanor count of distributing that video without consent, leading to the person suffering emotional distress. He has pleaded not guilty. Washington has a court hearing scheduled Tuesday in San Jose. - AP College Football

  Last season's Memphis defense seemed more about stopping opponents just enough so that an explosive Tiger offense could score more points. On Saturday, the roles were reversed with a much-improved Memphis defense stifling Mississippi, leading the Tigers to a 15-10 victory in the season opener for both teams. "Hats off to our defensive staff. Coach Fuller and the defensive staff was incredible, absolutely incredible," Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. "Kept them off-balance all game long." The Tigers held the Rebels to 173 yards of offense, including minus-1 yards rushing in the first half. But it was a fourth quarter safety by Memphis defensive end Bryce Huff that sealed it.

On first down after Tiger punter Adam Williams pinned the Rebels at their own 2, Huff busted through to tackle Corral as he dropped back to pass in the end zone. That gave Memphis its final 15-10 margin with 6:32 left. The Rebels would never get the ball back after the ensuing free kick and Memphis ran out the clock with a six-plus-minute drive. "That's something I'll remember for a long time," Norvell said of closing out the game. "This football team trains, prepares itself. This team plays a top-notch, physical football game here in Memphis." Patrick Taylor rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown to lead the Memphis offense. Kenneth Gainwell, who has taken over the Tigers all-purpose duties from Tony Pollard, now with the Dallas Cowboys, had 77 yards rushing for the Tigers and six catches for another 41 yards. - AP College Football

  William Wicks fought his way into the end zone from the 2 in the fourth quarter to give Davidson a 27-20 victory over Georgetown in the season opener for both teams on Saturday. The Wildcats had four drives of 80 or more yards that resulted in touchdowns. Jorell Story crashed in from the 3 and the 1 in the second quarter to give Davidson a 20-0 halftime lead. Georgetown controlled the third period, scoring three unanswered TDs to tie the score at 20-20 going into the fourth quarter.

The Hoyas cooled off in the final stanza. Davidson drove 80 yards in 11 plays to retake the lead 27-20 after Wicks squeezed across the goal line with 4:54 remaining in the game. The Davidson defense stopped the Hoyas on fourth-down on the next series and the Wildcats ran out the clock to claim the win. Wicks had 10 carries for 88 yards, Story totaled 81 yards on 20 carries and Davidson rushed for 355 yards while holding the Hoyas to just 89 yards on the ground. Georgetown's Gunther Johnson threw for 134 yards and two scores. - AP College Football

  Mel Tucker's debut as Colorado coach was a success in part because his defense created four turnovers. The real takeaway was this: The Buffaloes still have a ways to go. "Winning is good," Tucker said. "We've got a ways to go before I can say that's the type of football team that we want to have." Tailback Alex Fontenot scored three second-half touchdowns and safety Mikial Onu intercepted two passes as Colorado beat Colorado State 52-31 on Friday night to kick off the Tucker era. "This is a starting point," Tucker said after a game that lasted 3 hours, 19 minutes and featured a 37-minute lightning delay before the opening kick. "I'm looking forward to getting this film watched and getting these corrections."

Fontenot finished with 125 yards rushing to help the Buffs win their fifth straight over the Rams in what was the final Rocky Mountain Showdown held in Denver. The 83 combined points were the most in the rivalry's 91-game history. Tucker was hired in December after serving as defensive coordinator at Georgia. He appreciated all the turnovers. He didn't appreciate allowing 505 total yards. "The yardage and some of the plays we gave up, I'm not happy about that," he said. Fontenot broke out of several tackles on a 22-yard run with 9:16 remaining to give the Buffaloes a 45-31 lead. Jonathan Van Diest helped seal the win by sacking Collin Hill, who fumbled the ball. Mustafa Johnson scooped it up and scored from 9 yards. - AP College Football

  Alabama middle linebacker Dylan Moses has sustained a knee injury that requires surgery. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Wednesday Moses was injured in Tuesday's practice and is "out for an indefinite period of time." Saban says the loss is "certainly a character check for our team." Moses was likely the second-ranked Crimson Tide's top defender after the loss of a number of standouts to the NFL, including inside linebacker Mack Wilson. Alabama opens the season Saturday against Duke in Atlanta. Moses was a finalist last season for the Butkus Award given to the nation's top linebacker. He led the team with 86 tackles. The Tide had already another projected starter at inside linebacker, Joshua McMillon, to a preseason knee injury. That left freshman Christian Harris topping the depth chart going into the season at an already thin position. - AP College Football

  The Youngstown State football team rushed for 277 yards and forced four turnovers in a 45-22 season-opening victory over Samford on Saturday afternoon in the Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff Classic. The Penguins (1-0) intercepted three passes, had three sacks and returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Bulldogs (0-1). The Penguins built a 31-7 advantage early in the fourth quarter. Mays led the way on the ground with 90 yards on 13 carries while Turner had 89 yards. Joe Alessi chipped in 56 while Chapman added 50. The Guins held the Bulldogs to just 60 yards rushing on 24 carries. The Penguins play their home opener on Sept. 7 against Howard. Kickoff at Stambaugh Stadium is set for 2 p.m. - Youngstown State Football

  Former Maryland quarterback Kasim Hill has transferred to Tennessee. Tennessee athletic department spokesman Zach Stipe confirmed Thursday that the Volunteers have added Hill as a walk-on. Hill won't play this season due to NCAA transfer rules. 247Sports first reported Tennessee had added Hill, who has torn ligaments in each of his knees during his college career. Hill started Maryland's first 10 games as a redshirt freshman last year before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He had torn the ACL in his right knee during Maryland's third game in 2017. He completed 53.4 percent of his career passes at Maryland for 1,313 yards with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. Hill also ran for 45 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries. - AP College Football

  Prince Tega Wanogho came to Alabama wanting to be the next LeBron James. He became Auburn's left tackle instead. Wanogho now is the anchor of the 16th-ranked Tigers' all-senior offensive line, some five years after he stepped on a football field for the first time. A native of Delta State, Nigeria, Wanogho came to Alabama as a 16-year-old hoping to land a college scholarship - in basketball. He wound up at Edgewood Academy in suburban Montgomery after getting noticed at a basketball camp. Wanogho then obliged when an Edgewood coach suggested giving football a shot, but he didn't know much about the sport that is king in the state.

He played defensive end at about 225 pounds and quickly started getting interest from football programs, enough so that a reporter asked him if Alabama coach Nick Saban had visited. "I was like, 'Who's Nick Saban?' It's crazy, because everybody thought it was funny," said Wanogho, who also played soccer growing up. "My teammates and coaches. The dude that was doing the interview, he thought it was funny, too. He was shocked because I didn't know who coach Nick Saban was. When I said that, everybody was surprised. "I was like you can't blame me because I came all the way from Nigeria and I'm here playing a new game. I don't really know what goes on here. I didn't even really know how big it was at that time. The whole time I was being recruited, I didn't know how big that was." - AP College Football

  08/20/19 - QB JT Daniels, rSr/2024, Rice + More +

  Sophomore quarterback J.T. Daniels will start at Southern California for the second straight season. Coach Clay Helton announced Tuesday that Daniels, who started 11 games as a freshman for the Trojans, won a four-man competition for the job over freshman Kedon Slovis, redshirt junior Matt Fink and redshirt sophomore Jack Sears. With Helton hiring a new offensive coordinator in Graham Harrell to run the "Air Raid" spread offense, the embattled head coach decided to give all four quarterbacks a chance to compete. Daniels came out on top for the second straight training camp.

"We've had 30 practices, both 15 in spring and 15 in camp, and we feel confident where we are right now. We felt like we needed to move forward and allow more reps for the guys that are going to be in the one and two position, so we're going to name J.T. as the starting quarterback," Helton said Tuesday. Daniels completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 2,672 yards, 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during an erratic first season as USC finished 5-7, its first losing season since 2000. - AP College Football
