09/26/26 - WR Bryant Wesco Jr., Jr/2028, Clemson + More +

Bryant Wesco Jr. had Clemson's first punt return touchdown in eight years to break a tie late in the third quarter and the Tigers went on to beat California 24-10 Friday night in a game where both offenses struggled. Both Clemson (3-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) and Cal (2-2, 1-1) struggled to generate much offense in the first matchup between the schools since the Golden Bears joined the ACC in 2024. The teams combined for one offensive touchdown until Gideon Davidson put the game away with a 75-yard run with 2:59 to play. Davidson finished with 159 yards rushing and two TDs. Cal got a field goal to tie the game on the opening drive of the second half, but Clemson went back ahead after the Bears punted on their next possession. Agnus Davies had a low 39-yard punt down the middle that Wesco fielded on the run. He eluded two tacklers and then broke it toward the Clemson sideline before racing in for the 65-yard score. It was the first punt return touchdown for the Tigers since their national championship season in 2018 when Amari Rodgers had a 58-yarder in a win at Boston College.

The Tigers defense made the lead stand up as Cal never got close to the end zone again. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele finished 16 for 29 for 119 yards and two interceptions for his fewest yards in 17 career starts. Clemson's Tait Reynolds wasn't much better, throwing for 108 yards and turning the ball over twice in his second start. The teams traded interceptions on each opening drive and that set the tone for the first half dominated by the defenses. Cal struck first with a 35-yard fumble return touchdown by Kamar Mothudi. But Clemson got a field goal and then took the lead on a 1-yard run by Davidson that capped a 17-play drive that was extended when Niles Davis jumped offside on a fourth-and-4 pooch punt out of field-goal formation. - AP College Football

09/25/26 - RB Lee Beebe Jr., rSr/2027, Indiana + More +

Lee Beebe Jr. rushed for 203 yards, including a 70-yard burst that set up Josh Hoover's game-sealing 1-yard TD run with 1:56 to play, and No. 5 Indiana held off surprising Northwestern 29-23 on Friday night. The defending national champion Hoosiers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) extended the Football Bowl Subdivision's longest active winning streak to 20 games and the longest home winning streak to 19 - but it was a struggle until the final seconds. Northwestern was within 15-13 early in the fourth quarter and had two chances to tie the score because of a pass-interference call on its first 2-point attempt. But the Hoosiers stopped quarterback Aidan Chiles on a designed run to preserve the lead. Following a facemask penalty on third-and-19 that gave Indiana a first down, Beebe ripped off a 39-yard run and then ran for a 4-yard TD with 9:39 left to make it a two-score game. After Northwestern cut the deficit to 22-20, Beebe ran 70 yards to the Wildcats 5-yard line. Six plays later, Hoover scored.

Jackson Kleather made a 42-yard field goal with 58 seconds left to make it a one-score game, but the Wildcats (2-1, 0-1) but couldn't recover the onside kick. Hoover was 19 of 29 for 201 yards and a touchdown, Charlie Becker had seven catches for 98 yards and Beebe had his second 100-yard game of the season after Turbo Richard left with a lower right leg injury in the first half. Chiles was 22 of 29 for 293 yards and touchdowns. He also rushed for a score. The Wildcats opened the game with a goal-line stand, but Chiles fumbled the snap on their first offensive play and Rolijah Hardy tackled him in the end zone for a safety. Indiana made it 5-0 on Nico Radicic's 43-yard field goal early in the second quarter and extended the margin to 12-0 with Nick Marsh's 8-yard TD catch with 5:04 left in the first half. But that's all the Hoosiers could muster in a half in which they held Northwestern to 51 total yards and minus-5 yards on the ground. - Indiana/AP College Football

09/25/26 - RB Braylon McReynolds, rSr/2027, Alabama-Birmingham + More +

Bam McReynolds followed a Navy turnover in the fourth quarter with a 48-yard touchdown run and UAB rallied to beat the Midshipman 24-20 on Friday night in the Blazers' American Conference opener. Navy (1-2, 0-2) led 20-17 and was driving when Marlin Dean forced a fumble by Jackson Gutierrez with a first-down sack and Chris Spencer recovered. McReynolds was off to the races on the next play. Neither team scored until UAB (2-2) took advantage of a 13-yard punt by Jacob Carlson to put together a 40-yard drive that culminated with McReynolds' 10-yard touchdown run 4 seconds into the second quarter. Navy answered with a 75-yard drive, tying it 7-all on Gutierrez's 4-yard touchdown run in his first career start.

Jonah Delange kicked a 44-yard field goal, but Navy's Nolan Bartley answered with a 34-yarder to tie it at the two-minute warning. Ryder Burton completed two passes for 22 yards before firing a 56-yard scoring strike to Ty Mims and the Blazers needed only three plays and 49 seconds to take a 17-10 lead. Gutierrez completed a 39-yard pass to running back Vic Listorti and Bartley booted a 31-yard field to cut the deficit to four at halftime. Charles Robinson returned a punt 23 yards to the Blazers' 47, and Listorti ran it in from 7 yards out nine players later to give Navy a three-point lead with 4:24 left in the third quarter. Burton totaled 174 yards on 13-for-20 passing with an interception. McReynolds had 71 yards on eight carries. Gutierrez rushed 34 times for 134 yards and completed 4 of 13 passes for 104 yards. - UAB/AP College Football

09/25/26 - WR KJ Duff, Jr/2028, Rutgers + More +

Antwan Raymond ran for 140 yards and three touchdowns to lead Rutgers to a 58-7 victory over Howard on Friday night. The Scarlet Knights (1-3) scored on 10 of their 12 possessions, totaling 534 yards. Dylan Lonergan had a breakout game for Rutgers, passing for 214 yards and two TDs in three quarters against the Championship Subdivision's Bison. He entered the game with five interceptions. KJ Duff, an AP pre-season second-team All-America wide receiver, caught five passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. Howard (1-3) totaled 184 yards with 75 of those coming on a touchdown run from Eden James, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Edgerrin James. He finished with 116 yards on seven carries. The win gave coach Greg Schiano his 100th victory at Rutgers. Schiano is 100-111 in 18 years over two stints with the Scarlet Knights. He joins Kirk Ferentz (Iowa), Dabo Swinney (Clemson), Troy Calhoun (Air Force) and Kirby Smart (Georgia) as active Bowl Subdivison head coaches to win 100 games at their current school. - Rutgers/AP College Football

09/25/26 - CB Xaden Benson, Jr/2028, Harvard + More +

Charlie Smith threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and Harvard held off Brown 14-10 on Friday night in an Ivy League opener. Smith completed 30 of 37 passes for 205 yards with an interception for the Crimson (2-0), ranked 21st in the Stats Perform poll for the Championship Subdivision. Smith had a 5-yard touchdown toss to Ryan Tattersall at the end of a 48-yard drive and Harvard led 7-0 after one quarter. Xaden Benson intercepted James Murphy to set up the short drive after Brown (1-1) recovered a Cole Allen fumble at its own 15 to end the Crimson's first possession. Smith directed a 15-play 86-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard scoring toss to Teigan Pelletier and Harvard took a 14-0 lead into halftime.

Smith completed 21 of 24 for 154 yards in the first half, but Max Malo picked off his third pass of the third quarter and the Bears turned it into a 48-yard field goal by Drew Crabtree to get on the scoreboard. Jackson Bennett had a 29-yard touchdown run to finish a 76-yard drive and cut it to 14-10 with 8:16 remaining. Benson intercepted Murphy again two plays after the two-minute warning and Harvard took over at the Bears' 39 before running out the clock. Murphy threw three interceptions and finished 18 for 24 for 121 yards for the Bears (1-1). Harvard has won 10 of the last 11 against Brown and has a 92-31-2 record in a series that began in 1893. - AP College Football

09/25/26 - RB Cale Hellums, Sr/2027, Army + More +

Quarterback Cale Hellums rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns to lead Army over Temple 21-17 on Friday in the Owls' American Conference opener. Hellums rushed 22 times for the Black Knights (2-1, 1-1), who piled up 281 yards on the ground and beat the Owls (1-3) for a fifth straight time. The senior completed 3 of 6 passes for 36 yards. Hellums marched Army 77 yards in 12 plays on their first possession, scoring on a 15-yard run for a 7-0 lead. The drive took 7:10 off the clock. The Owls answered on the second play of the ensuing drive when Samuel Brown V caught a short pass from Ajari Sheppard and turned it into a 78-yard touchdown for a 7-7 tie that stood through halftime.

Hellums picked up 20 yards on a fourth-and-4 pass to Godspower Nwawuihe then scored on a 12-yard run on the next play for a 14-7 lead in the third quarter.
