10/11/25 - QB Drew Allar, Sr/2026, Penn State + More +

Drew Allar came back to Penn State for his senior season determined lead the Nittany Lions to a national championship. Now, with hopes of bringing the Nittany Lions their first NCAA football title since 1986 gone after a third-straight loss, the strong-armed quarterback will have to watch from the sidelines the rest of the way. Allar suffered an apparent leg injury on a third-down play late in Penn State's 22-21 loss to Northwestern on Saturday. He limped off the field with help, was replaced by backup Ethan Grunkemeyer and ruled out for the rest of the season. "Drew will be done for the year," Penn State coach James Franklin said. Allar's injury - not specified by the team - capped a three-week stretch in which the Nittany Lions fell from No. 2 in the Top 25 after losing in overtime at home to No. 3 Oregon, getting pounded by a previously winless UCLA team last week and being outplayed by Northwestern in front of another restless crowd at Beaver Stadium.

That crowd was noticeably smaller, too, as large sections of the vaunted, 40,000-seat student section were barren all night. Wide receiver Devonte Ross, who transferred to Penn State last summer to play with Allar, was sullen afterward. "I love Drew," Ross said. "That's unfortunate. It's a tough situation just knowing him as a person and knowing how much football means to him, how much this team means to him, it's tough but I know it's next man up." The Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten), will have to find some answers and will now turn to Grunkemeyer to try and lead them to a bowl game. They have to play at Iowa next week and still have trips to No. 1 Ohio State and Michigan State. A home game against No. 7 Indiana looms, too. Allar ends his Penn State career fourth on the school's career passing yardage list with 7,265 yards on 620-for-982 passing with 61 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. - AP College Football

10/11/25 - RB Landen Chambers, rJr/2028, Central Florida + More +

Landen Chambers ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns as Central Arkansas overwhelmed North Alabama 49–21 on Saturday in United Athletic Conference play. Chambers opened the scoring with a 1-yard plunge and added touchdown runs of 19 and 11 yards during a dominant second quarter in which the Bears (2–4, 1–1 UAC) scored 28 straight points. Austin Myers threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns, including a 76-yard strike to Tyrell Pollard and a pair of scoring passes to Malachi Henry.

Henry finished with five catches for 119 yards, and Cam Young added a 13-yard touchdown run as Central Arkansas rolled up 486 yards of offense and averaged nearly eight yards per play. The Bears led 35–14 at halftime and never looked back, scoring on six of their first eight drives. Ari Patu threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Noah Gregg and KJ Fields added a 4-yard rushing score to help the Lions (1–5, 0–2) keep pace early, but turnovers and defensive breakdowns proved costly. Destin Wade later connected with Justin Pegues for a 7-yard touchdown to close the scoring. Central Arkansas' defense intercepted two passes and held North Alabama to just 93 rushing yards on 37 carries. The win snapped the Bears' three-game skid and extended their series lead over the Lions to 7–2. - AP College Football

No. 4 Ole Miss pulled out a 24-21 victory over Washington State in a game that shouldn't have been close to begin with.

Ole Miss went on a 10-0 run in the second quarter before a back-and-forth contest in the second half. The Rebels secured the win, but it wasn't top-five caliber play. - AP College Football

Quarterback Grayson Saunier ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns and Owen Zalc's 51-yard field goal as time expired sent Dartmouth to a dramatic 17-16 win over Yale on Saturday. Zalc missed from 31 yards in the first quarter and from 56 in the third before his end-of-game heroics. On the seven-play, 42-yard scoring drive, Saunier completed 3 of 4 for 37 yards with the big play being a 22-yard completion to Ky'Dric Fisher on third-and-5 to put the ball at the Bulldogs' 33 and set up Zalc.

On the prior drive, Yale took a 16-14 lead on the strength of a 13-play, 70-yard drive that ended when Dante Reno threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Graham Smith with 37 seconds left. Yale (2-2, 1-1) built a 10-0 lead through three quarters before the Big Green (3-1, 1-1 Ivy League) rallied. Saunier ran it in from the 6 at the end of an 11-play, 92-yard drive that lasted a little more than five minutes. On Yale's next drive, Dartmouth's Sean Williams intercepted Reno. Six plays later, Saunier ran it in from 37 yards out for a 14-10 lead. On the drive, Yale's Abu Kamara intercepted Saunier, but the Bulldogs' Phoenix Grant was called for a personal foul and Dartmouth maintained possession. Reno threw for 196 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. - AP College Football

Kekoa Visperas had a touchdown pass and the Tennessee Tech defense allowed just over 200 yards as the Golden Eagles topped Charleston Southern 27-13 on Saturday. Tennessee Tech (6-0, 3-0 OVC-Big South Association), ranked No. 7 in the FCS coaches poll, forced a three-and-out on the opening possession and a 19-yard punt gave the Golden Eagles the ball on the Buccaneers' 40-yard line. Visperas had a 2-yard touchdown toss to Maury Sullivan seven plays later for a 7-0 lead. Zach Gordon's 37-yard field goal at the end of an 11-play drive made it 7-3 after one quarter.

Obie Sanni's 6-yard touchdown run 6 seconds into the second quarter upped Tennessee Tech's advantage to 14-3. Charleston Southern (1-6, 0-3) answered with a 17-play 70-yard drive that took 9:51 off the clock. Zolten Osborne's 9-yard touchdown pass to Rashawn Cunningham capped the drive and cut it to 14-10. Q'Daryius Jennings' 1-yard touchdown run finished off a nine-play 75-yard drive and the Golden Eagles led 20-10 at halftime after the missed extra-point. Aidan Littles scored on a 16-yard run late in the third quarter to up Tennessee Tech's lead to 17. Visperas completed 17 of 27 passes for 157 yards with two interceptions.

The Buccaneers managed only 63 yards on 31 rushes and finished with 209 yards of offense. - AP College Football
