DJ Uiagalelei looks more and more like the leader who can continue Clemson's championship legacy, than the one who struggled his first season as a starter a year ago. Uiagalelei threw for 231 yards and two touchdowns and the fifth-ranked Tigers took a bi g, first-half lead to beat FCS opponent Furman 35-12 on Saturday. "You can see he's playing with a lot of confidence," Clemson offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter said. "It shows." That wasn't the case in 2021 as Uiagalelei, the highly touted passer w ho figured to instantly replace Clemson's No. 1 NFL draft pick in Trevor Lawrence, struggled to find his way. Uiagalelei had nine touchdowns against 10 interceptions as the Tigers fell from the national and ACC title chase by midseason. "There's been nob ody more under the fire than him," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said about Uiagalelei. "Two games don't make a season, but proud of how he's played." Uiagalelei led Clemson to touchdowns on his first five drives to take a 35-9 lead early in the third quart er. Uiagalelei did have a pick off a tipped ball with his team ahead by 23 points. "For the most part, I played a solid game," Uiagalelei said. "Overall, I thought it was good game today." - Clemson/AP College Football

Cameron Rising threw for 254 yards in the first half, Dalton Kincaid had 107 yards receiving and two touchdowns and No. 13 Utah routed Southern Utah 73-7 on Saturday. Coming off an opening loss last week at Florida, Utah scored on nine consecutive drives , including eight touchdowns, over the final three quarters against the FCS Thunderbirds (1-1). The Utes had 599 yards of total offense. As six-touchdown underdogs, the Thunderbirds weren't afraid of taking some risks. They started the game with an unsuc cessful onside kick that led to a 13-yard touchdown run by Tavion Thomas. Southern Utah got a break when Thomas fumbled later in the first quarter and Rodrick Ward recovered. On the next play, Grady Robison tied it at 7 on a quarterback draw that went fo r 28 yards. Utah didn't allow any gains of 10 yards or more the rest of the game.Thomas scored on another touchdown run early in the second quarter. Utah then turned a fourth-down stop of the plucky Thunderbirds into a field goal and a diving inte rception by Junior Tafuna into Chris Curry's TD run. Rising unleashed more of Utah's vertical passing game, which was absent against Florida, and capped the first half with three touchdown passes to the Utes' prolific tight ends - two to Kincaid and one to Brant Kuithe. Utah gained 250 yards of offense in the second quarter. On the first possession of the second half, R.J. Hubert took an interception 39 yards for a touchdown. With the huge lead, most of Utah's stars watched the rest of the game from the sideline. The Ute defense held the Thunderbirds to 85 total yards despite scoring quickly throughout the game. The blowout marked Utah's highest-scoring game since beating UTEP 82-6 in 1973. - Utah/AP College Football

Nick Singleton rushed 10 times for 179 yards and two touchdowns and Penn State's defense dominated Ohio 46-10 on Saturday. Penn State (2-0) hadn't had a 100-yard rusher since November 2020, but got big run after big run from Singleton, a freshman who tor ched the Bobcats for touchdown sprints of 70 and 44 yards in the first and fourth quarters. In between, quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Drew Allar played clean enough and the Nittany Lion defense bore down to force eight punts, a safety and a turnover on downs. Ohio (0-2) crossed midfield just three times. Meanwhile, Penn State's offense continued to blossom.Clifford completed 19-of-27 passes for 213 yards, ran for a score and threw for another as Penn State scored on three of its first five posse ssions. The sixth-year quarterback capped a 12-play opening drive with a 1-yard scoring plunge before Singleton dashed down the sideline on the Nittany Lions' second possession to make it 14-0 late in the first quarter. Clifford threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Tinsley in the third before yielding to Allar. The Nittany Lions didn't miss a beat with the freshman running the offense, and more than 107,000 fans who packed Beaver Stadium cheered loudly when he entered. - Penn State/AP College Footb all

TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 1: 24. JL Skinner, rSr, SS, Boise State, 6-3, 220,...Skinner led Boise State with six tackles and an interception in a 34-17 loss at Oregon State. His exploits are overlooked not only because of the loss, but because m ost attention is on a brewing quarterback controversy after starter Hank Bachmeier was benched following two interceptions and the team announced open competition for that job this week. Against that background, nobody is chatting up the strong safety, r egardless of how well he played. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

DJ Uiagalelie threw for one touchdown and ran for another, overcoming a sluggish start in the season opener as No. 4 Clemson pulled away for a 41-10 victory over Georgia Tech on Monday night. Uiagalelie completed 19 of 32 passes for 209 yards, including a 6-yard scoring play to Beaux Collins that gave the Tigers a two-touchdown lead in the first half. Georgia Tech, looking to improve on three straight three-win seasons that have put coach Geoff Collins on the hot seat, kept it closer than expected much of the way. But the Yellow Jackets couldn't overcome two blocked punts, both of which led to short touchdown runs by Will Shipley.Georgia Tech pulled within 14-10 on an impressive drive in the third quarter, culminating with Jeff Sims tossing a 13 -yard TD pass to 6-foot-7 transfer E.J. Jenkins. But Uiagalelie, in what was probably the play of the game, appeared headed for a sack when he was cornered by two Georgia Tech defenders on the third-and-4. But the quarterback managed to stay upright just long enough to flip a lateral to Shipley, who rumbled 10 yards for a first down that kept the Clemson offense on the field. The Tigers went on to drive 74 yards for a touchdown that finally buried the Yellow Jackets. Uiagalelie ran it in from 9 yards ou t to push Clemson's lead to 24-10. Clemson scored its first touchdown on special teams after both teams had early struggles on offense. - AP College Football

Syracuse football fullback Chris Elmore and linebacker Stefon Thompson are both out for the season with injuries they suffered in SU's season-opening 31-7 win over Louisville. Orange coach Dino Babers announced the news during his Monday press conference . "You're talking about a guy who's been a captain two years in (Elmore), and (Thompson) was right on the edge of becoming a captain for us," Babers said. "Both those guys have unbelievable leadership skills, and we expect them to continue to be leaders on and off the football field for this football team throughout the 2022 season." Both players left the field in the first half of play against the Cardinals and returned to the sidelines on crutches.Elmore has battled injuries in the past. The si xth-year has played all across the field for the Orange, including stints on the offensive and defensive lines. He missed four games in 2021, allowing him to redshirt the season and return this year. Babers admitted he is unsure what it will take for Elm ore to be allowed to return for a seventh season with the program should he choose, especially with the eligibility changes created due to COVID-19. - The Post-Standard
