10/25/25 - QB Josh Hoover, rSr/2027, Indiana + More +

Josh Hoover threw a touchdown pass, Nate McCashland kicked three field goals and TCU outlasted West Virginia 23-17 on Saturday night. TCU (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) barely outgained West Virginia 343-342 but made the most of its opportunities. "Our guys just had to gut it out," TCU coach Sonny Dykes said. "The last two road games, we found a way to lose. Tonight, we found a way to win." TCU started its first three possessions past midfield and led 10-0 before West Virginia had mustered a first down. Each team scored their initial touchdown on a short field following a poor punt. After Trent Battle opened the scoring on a 1-yard run for the Horned Frogs, Hoover fooled West Virginia's defense with a fake handoff, then found Eric McAlister on a 4-yard scoring toss midway through the second quarter for a 17-7 lead.

McAlister, who was targeted 18 times, caught nine passes for 124 yards. Hoover, tied with two others for the most TD passes (21) in the country entering play Saturday, finished 24 of 39 for 247 yards. McCashland kicked field goals of 35, 22 and 41 yards. Dykes said Hoover was shaken up on a hard tackle on a first-quarter run but stayed in the game. "I don't know if he was the same since," Dykes said. Hoover took the hit in stride. "That's part of the game," he said. "You're going to get knocked around every now and then. You've just got to shake it off and move on to the next play and just keep firing away." West Virginia (2-6, 0-5) has lost five straight. The Mountaineers have been held to 17 or fewer points five times this season. West Virginia freshman Scotty Fox Jr. threw two touchdown passes, including a 28-yarder to Jeff Weimer with 3:15 remaining in the game. TCU recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock. McAlister gave his team a scare, though. He caught a 21-yard pass on third down but fumbled and teammate Major Everhart recovered it at the West Virginia 19 with 2 minutes left. - TCU/AP College Football

Ashton Strother finished off a 91-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run and Southern moved back in front 21-19. Porto's 20-yard field goal with 2 minutes left gave the Rattlers a 22-21 lead heading to the fourth quarter. Strother had 197 yards on 12-for-28 passing with three 1-yard touchdown runs. Holly finished with 145 yards on 26 carries for the Jaguars in their sixth straight loss. - AP College Football

Roland Dempster carried the ball 40 times, amassing 181 yards and scoring two touchdowns, and Stony Brook won for the third time in the last four games with a 27-19 victory over Towson on Saturday. The Seawolves led 27-3 before the Tigers got back in it in the fourth quarter. The Tigers used a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive that ended with Nathan Kent's 16-yard touchdown pass to John Dunmore. The two-point conversion reduced Towson's deficit to 27-11.

After forcing Stony Brook (4-4, 2-2 Coastal Athletic Association) to three-and-out, the Tigers went on another nine-play drive - this one lasting 67 yards - that ended with Kent throwing a 29-yard score to Jaceon Doss. Another two-point conversion made it a one-score game, 27-19. Stony Brook then sealed it by picking up three first downs on the final drive and time expired.

10/25/25 - QB Joshua Wood, rJr/2028, Idaho + More +

Joshua Woods threw touchdown passes to four different receivers on Saturday to help Idaho beat Portland State 45-6 and extend the Vikings' season-opening losing streak to eight games. Elisha Cummings had 65 yards rushing and a touchdown on eight carries and added four receptions for 100 yards for Idaho (3-5, 1-3 Big Sky Conference). Mathias Uribe kicked a 27-yard field goal that capped a 15-play, 60-yard drive and made it 3-0 with 3:55 left in the first quarter.

Wood hit Noah West-Baranco for a 48-yard touchdown, after Uribe made a 40-yard field goal, threw TD passes of 24 yards to Marquawn McCraney and 6 yards to Emmerson Cortez-Menjivar to make it 28-6 at halftime. Back-up quarterback Rocco Koch came in on third-and-1 and, after a run fake, lofted a pass to a wide-open Jake Cox who raced untouched for a 42-yard touchdown about two minutes into the second half and Cummings ran for a 13-yard touchdown with 6:50 left in the third quarter. - AP College Football

10/25/25 - QB Arch Manning, rJr/2028, Texas + More +

In the midst of No. 22 Texas' comeback overtime win at Mississippi State on Saturday, questions now persist about Longhorn quarterback Arch Manning's health. Manning scrambled for 13 yards on the first play of overtime but then left the field with an apparent upper-body injury. Backup quarterback Matthew Caldwell entered and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley for the 45-38 win.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian did not immediately provide an update on Manning, but he was impressed with Caldwell's ability to make a big play to win the game. "I think his rapport with Arch was a big part of it. They have a great relationship," Sarkisian said of Caldwell. "What a moment for that guy to step in and make that throw." Manning overcame some tough moments throughout the game and helped bring the Longhorns (6-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) back from a 17-point, fourth-quarter deficit. He finished 29 of 46 for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception and rushed for another score. The Bulldogs (4-4, 0-4 SEC) put plenty of hits on the redshirt sophomore as they had five. They also had a costly roughing the passer penalty on an incomplete pass on fourth-and-1 that would eventually lead to a Longhorn touchdown. - AP College Football

Josh McCormick kicked a 44-yard field goal with 21 seconds left and Grambling stunned a ranked Jackson State 26-24 in the HBCU Classic at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday. McCormick's game-winning kick for Grambling's Tigers (5-3, 2-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) came after Jared Lockhart's 1-yard touchdown run had given Jackson State's Tigers (5-2, 3-1), ranked 11th in the FCS coaches' poll, a 24-23 lead with 2:15 remaining. C'zavian Teasett directed the game-winning drive and finished with 232 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 16-for-26 passing. Covadis Knighten had five receptions for 96 yards and a score.

Rodney Nelson set career highs with 233 yards rushing and four touchdowns, Israel Clark-White had a key interception late, and Monmouth beat Hampton 28-10 on Saturday for its fifth straight win.

On the ensuing series, Braden Davis lead Hampton near midfield before Clark-White's pick ended the drive.

10/25/25 - WR Germie Bernard, Sr/2026, Alabama + More +

Germie Bernard scored two touchdowns in the final 2 1/2 minutes, and No. 4 Alabama rallied to beat South Carolina 29-22 on Saturday for its seventh straight win. Ty Simpson threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns and DeShawn Jones returned an interception 18 yards for a score for the Crimson Tide (7-1, 5-0 Southeastern Conference). LaNorris Sellers threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and ran for 67 yards and another score for South Carolina (3-5, 1-5), but had a costly fumble late which led to the winning TD. The Tide trailed 22-14 late in the fourth quarter, but drove 79 yards on 14 plays with Simpson finding Bernard for a 4-yard touchdown pass in the left corner of the end zone with 2:16 to play.

Simpson then connected with Josh Cuevas, who caught a TD pass earlier in the game, for the 2-point conversion to tie the game. On the ensuing drive, linebacker Deontae Lawson stripped Sellers, giving Simpson and the offense the ball at the South Carolina 38. On a third-and-10 play, Bernard took a direct snap and raced around right end and stayed inbounds for a 25-yard touchdown with 34 seconds left. Alabama took a 7-3 lead in the second quarter after Sellers' pass in the flat bounced off the hands of running back Rahsul Faison and into the arms of Jones, who raced down the left sideline for a score. Mistakes haunted the Gamecocks in the first half. Along with the mishandled catch by Faison, a holding penalty negated a 15-yard TD run by Sellers. Another holding call ended a potential touchdown drive and the Gamecocks also missed a field goal. Despite the errors, South Carolina only trailed 14-6 at halftime. The Gamecocks scored the next 16 points. Nyck Harbor got behind the defense and hauled in a 54-yard touchdown strike. Sellers then used a series of runs to get South Carolina into Alabama territory and William Joyce connected on a 47-yard field goal to give the Gamecocks a 15-14 lead late in the third quarter. The Gamecocks gained full momentum when they recovered a punt that hit off an Alabama player at the Tide 30. Sellers cashed in a few plays later when he raced around left end for a 10-yard touchdown to give South Carolina a 22-14 lead with 10 minutes left. - Alabama/AP College Football
