11/08/25 - QB Hayden Benoit, Fr/2029, Grambling State + More +

Hayden Benoit threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first half to lead Grambling to a 31-23 victory over Bethune-Cookman on Saturday. Theodore Caballero kicked a short field goal before Benoit connected with Andrew Frazier for a 38-yard touchdown and Grambling (7-3, 4-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) took a 10-0 lead into the second quarter. Juan Dominguez kicked a short field goal for Bethune-Cookman (5-5, 4-2) and Timmy McClain followed with an 11-yard touchdown run to tie it 10-all. Benoit and Nae'Saan Dickerson teamed up for a 59-yard touchdown, but McClain answered with a 61-yard scoring strike to Maleek Huggins that tied it 17-17.

Benoit capped a 72-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown toss to Patrick Williams for a 24-17 lead. Dominguez kicked a 39-yard field goal with a minute left to cut the Wildcats' deficit to four at halftime. Benoit's 8-yard touchdown pass to Keith Jones Jr. was the lone score of the second half until Dominguez kicked a 42-yard field to make it a one-possession game with 1:21 remaining. Grambling used four plays to run out the clock. Benoit totaled 220 yards on 12-for-20 passing with an interception. Andre Crews rushed for 130 yards on 14 carries.

11/08/25 - QB Samari Collier, rSr/2027, Transfer + More +

Samari Collier raced for an 85-yard touchdown on Coastal Carolina's first play from scrimmage and he threw three more scores in the Chanticleers' 40-27 win over Georgia State on Saturday night. Collier tossed a pair of TD passes to Karmello English and another to Robby Washington, though he only threw for only 120 yards on 11-of-18 passing. But his big run led to a 123-yard rushing night on 10 carries.

Kian Afrookhteh's three second-quarter field goals put Coastal Carolina (6-3, 5-1 Sun Belt Conference) up 23-14 at halftime. Collier's TD throws of 3 and 31 yards to English made it 40-14 early in the fourth. English finished with four catches for 63 yards. TJ Finley and Cameran Brown combined for 293 yards passing and a touchdown apiece for Georgia State. Finley was picked off by Ja'Marion Wayne to end Georgia State's final drive. Jordan Simmons rushed for 99 yards on 20 carries with a TD for the Panthers (1-8, 0-5). Ted Hurst had 165 yards on 10 catches with a score. The Chanticleers have won four straight games. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football

11/08/25 - QB Marcel Reed, rJr/2028, Texas AM + More +

Marcel Reed threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, Texas A&M's hounding defense made for a forgettable first start for Missouri quarterback Matt Zollers, and the third-ranked Aggies beat the No. 19 Tigers 38-17 on Saturday to remain undefeated. Rueben Owens II added 102 yards rushing and a pair of clinching touchdown runs in the fourth quarter, as the Aggies (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 3 CFP) continued their best start since 1992 with their third consecutive victory over Missouri. "You know, from a CEO perspective, I believe this is what this program is capable of. This is why we're here. We believe the ceiling of this program is really high," Aggies coach Mike Elko said. "This is what everyone has been talking about." Zollers, starting in place of injured Beau Pribula, was just 7 of 22 for 77 yards, despite getting plenty of help from his rushing attack. Jamal Roberts ran for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Ahmad Hardy added 109 yards and another score, as the Tigers (6-3, 2-3, No. 22) piled up 207 yards on the ground. "That's one of the toughest locker rooms I've been in," Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said, "because we all believed that we were going to win. We all believed we were going to win. They fought like they were going to win." Missouri had been in every game this season, including close losses to No. 4 Alabama and No. 15 Vanderbilt.

But losing Pribula to a season-ending injury against the Commodores left the 19-year-old Zollers to make his first start against the Aggies. It was a predictably tough task. The first true freshman to start for Missouri since Drew Lock a decade ago, Zollers spent most of the game simply trying to stay upright. And on the rare occasion that he had time to throw, Zollers either overshot hits targets or threw it into the turf, resulting in a humbling halftime line: 3 of 11 for 31 yards, two sacks and a fumble that was nearly returned for a touchdown. "We let him down as coaches tonight with the protection plan," Drinkwitz said. In fact, Zollers' fumble late in the first half may have been the tipping point in the game. - Texas AM/AP College Football

11/08/25 - QB Kealii Ah Yat, rJr/2028, Montana + More +

Keali'i Ah Yat threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and Montana held on to beat Eastern Washington 29-24 on Saturday. Jake Schakel, a redshirt freshman making his first start, threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Cole Pruett with 1:01 to play for the Eagles. Eastern Washington recovered the onside kick and Schakel had the Eagles at the Montana 9 with 25 seconds to go. The Grizzlies kept the receiver inbounds on a 4-yard completion but when Schakel took the snap with eight seconds left and rushed to spike the ball, it slipped out of his hands for a fumble and the clock ran out. Schakel was impressive against the No. 2 team in the FCS coaches poll and 25,861 fans, completing 43 of 63 passes for 451 yards and two touchdowns, although he had two interceptions.

Ah Yat was 22 of 30 for 250 yards for the Grizzlies (10-0, 6-0 Big Sky Conference), staking them to a 22-0 with touchdowns on their first three possessions. He found Michael Wortham with a 12-yard toss, threw a 29-yard to Korbin Hendrix and scored on a 3-yard run. Eastern Washington (4-6, 3-3) answered with a 10-yard scoring reception for Kevin Allen III and his 10-yard run. Other than a quick touchdown drive, with Eli Gilman scoring on a 25-yard run, Montana had 161 yards and seven punts until giving the ball up on downs at the EWU 37, which allowed the Eagles to rally. Miles Williams had 11 receptions for 136 yards for the Eagles and Pruett had 10 for 133. - AP College Football
