09/05/26 - QB LaNorris Sellers, rJr/2028, South Carolina + More +

LaNorris Sellers threw three touchdown passes among five TD drives as South Carolina whipped Kent State 57-0 on Saturday in the season-opener for each team. Sellers, beginning his third season as starting quarterback under a third offensive coordinator, showed no hesitation in running the system installed by Kendal Briles, the Gamecocks' new $2 million-plus offensive coordinator. He looked smooth and sure as the first quarterback in an attack that piled up 645 yards and featured scores by six different players. Sellers finished 19-of-23 passing for 270 yards.

Donovan Murph caught two touchdowns while Jabree Coleman rushed for two more for South Carolina. Mazeo Bennett, Mike Tyler, Matt Fuller and Isaiah Augustave also scored one TD each. Dru DeShields passed for 63 yards and rushed for 27 to lead Kent State. Fuller started the scoring in the first quarter with a 7-yard jaunt into the end zone, after receiver Nyck Harbor was ruled to have stepped out of bounds on a TD pass from Sellers. The Gamecocks scored three more touchdowns in the second, highlighted by a 60-yard sprint from Coleman, a transfer from Penn State thought to be at best the third-string running back on the roster. - South Carolina/AP College Football

Jeremiah Smith had two highlight reel-worthy touchdown catches, Julian Sayin passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns, and top-ranked Ohio State tuned up for next week's matchup against No. 5 Texas with a 56-3 rout of Ball State on Saturday. The Buckeyes (1-0) went three-and-out on their opening drive before finding the end zone on seven of their next nine possessions. Smith had eight receptions for 151 yards, all in the first half. He started Ohio State's scoring with a 48-yard, one-handed, over-the-shoulder grab in the end zone off a play-action pass by Sayin. He extended the Buckeyes' advantage to 28-3 with 10 seconds left in the first half with a 3-yard catch in the back of the end zone.

Sayin completed 21 of 25 passes before coming out midway through the third quarter. He also had the first rushing score of his career on a 3-yard run up the middle on fourth-and-goal to make it 21-0 three minutes into the second quarter. Bo Jackson (65 yards) and Ja'Kobi Jackson (49 yards) added long rushing TDs in the third quarter. Devin McCuin had six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown. Ball State (0-1) got its only points on Brody Boehm's 54-yard field goal with 1:17 remaining in the second quarter.
