11/29/25 - QB Demond Williams Jr., Jr/2028, Washington + More +

In addition to holding Williams to 129 passing yards, Oregon sacked the Washington quarterback four times. He completed just 50% of his passes, notable considering Williams entered the game sixth in the country in completion percentage. For as solid a first season as Washington's starter as it was for Williams, he struggled on the road and against the Big Ten's best. In the Huskies' four losses this season, Williams had three touchdowns and six interceptions. In eight Washington wins, Williams threw 18 touchdowns and two interceptions. - AP College Football

11/29/25 - QB Amari Odom, rJr/2028, Syracuse + More +

Amari Odom threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Christian Moss on the first play of a second overtime and Kennesaw State's defense did the rest in a 48-42 victory over Liberty on Saturday in a regular-season finale. Odom misfired on the mandatory two-point conversion for the Owls (9-3, 7-1), who found out at halftime they'd be playing in the Conference USA title game after Western Kentucky lost 37-34 to regular-season champion Jacksonville State. But it didn't matter. Baron Hopson tackled Evan Dickens for a 1-yard loss on first down. Tywon Christopher held Dickens to a yard on his second carry and then teamed up with Elijah Hill for a sack. Michael Merdinger threw incomplete to end it.

Odom completed 14 of 23 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns. He had a 12-yard touchdown pass to Gabriel Benyard in the first quarter and a 25-yarder on first down in the first OT. It was Benyard's school-record ninth touchdown catch this season. Odom added a 9-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter and finished with 72 yards on 13 carries. Coleman Bennett rushed 14 times for 92 yards and a score. Bennett also had a touchdown catch. Dickens, a sophomore, carried 43 times for 267 yards and four touchdowns for Liberty (4-8, 3-5). It was the third most yards gained in school history. Dickens raced 95 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Flames up 28-21. Liberty got the ball back at its own 29 with 2:20 to go, but Jay Billingsley missed a 32-yard field goal with 5 seconds left to force OT. Merdinger finished with 212 yards and a touchdown on 12-for-21 passing. - Kennesaw State/AP College Football

11/29/25 - RB Cale Hellums, Sr/2027, Army + More +

Cale Hellums threw the first touchdown pass to an Army tight end since 2008 for the go-ahead score in a 27-24 victory over UTSA on Saturday. Hellums completed two fourth-down passes during a 13-play, 75-yard drive that took over six minutes and ended with his 4-yard toss to Parker Poloskey with 2:49 to go. UTSA's final drive ended on downs. Army (6-5, 4-4 American) had to have the win in this conference finale to become bowl eligible as matchups are announced Dec. 7, before the Black Knights' regular-season finale against Navy on Dec. 13 in Baltimore.

Owen McCown threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rally UTSA (6-6, 4-4), taking a 24-20 lead on his 7-yard pass to Jamel Hardy. The Roadrunners had cut the Black Knights' lead to 20-17 on McCown's 8-yard toss to Patrick Overmyer. Army trailed 10-0 early then scored 17 straight points before halftime beginning with Noah Short taking a pitch and running for an 81-yard score. Jaydan Mayes took a tipped pass and ran it back for a 73-yard pick-6. USTA wide receiver David Amador II threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Overmyer for the game's first points. Short rushed for 127 yards on 14 carries and Hellums added 90 on 23. Hellums threw just 10 passes, completing four, including the three crucial ones in the fourth quarter. Dawson Jones kicked two field goals. McCown was 27-of-40 for 266 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The loss snapped UTSA's run of 25 straight home wins against conference opponents, which had been the longest such streak in the FBS. - Army/AP College Football

11/29/25 - QB Darian Mensah, rJr/2028, Miami + More +

Darian Mensah reached a record-setting passing touchdown total for Duke as the Blue Devils stayed alive for a chance at an Atlantic Coast Conference championship by defeating Wake Forest 49-32 on Saturday. Duke (7-5, 6-2 ACC) can reach next week's ACC title game if a couple of results in the conference fall its way later Saturday night. Mensah also ran for his first TD of the season. The transfer from Tulane finished the game 24-for-35 passing for 268 yards in the air. Anderson Castle and Nate Sheppard each had two touchdown runs and the Blue Devils never trailed in defeating Wake Forest (8-4, 4-4) for the fourth year in a row. Sahmir Hagans caught a touchdown pass and made an 80-yard kickoff return to set up the first points of the fourth quarter. Robby Ashford threw for two touchdowns and 342 yards and ran for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, but Wake Forest's three-game winning streak ended. The Demon Deacons committed four turnovers - including a fumble at the Duke 18-yard line with 6:38 left and were hit with 97 yards worth of penalties. Duke, which used a fake field goal to set up the winning touchdown a week earlier at North Carolina, pulled off a successful fake punt with less than 10 minutes to go with punter Kade Reynoldson running for a first down. The Blue Devils didn't score on the drive but chewed up an extra 2½ minutes while holding a 42-32 lead. Mensah's third-quarter touchdown pass to Hagans for 30 yards set the Duke single-season record with 27 before he added another in the game's final minute. - Duke/AP College Football

11/29/25 - QB Drake Lindsey, rSo/2029, Minnesota + More +

P.J. Fleck celebrated his 45th birthday by crowd-surfing through the Minnesota locker room as players tossed him the air, finishing his ninth regular season with the program in jubilant fashion. The second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten, Fleck has helped infuse the Gophers with some welcomed stability, a model of consistency that now includes partying with Paul Bunyan's Axe. Drake Lindsey threw a touchdown pass to Jameson Geers for the only second-half score in snow-globe conditions, and John Nestor had two interceptions and a fumble recovery for Minnesota in a 17-7 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday to keep possession of the axe and overtake the all-time series lead at 64-63-8. Darius Taylor had a 49-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to get the Gophers going, and their defense rebounded from a rough month to limit the Badgers to one score for the second straight year in the 135th edition of the most-played rivalry in major college football history. Minnesota (7-5, 5-4 Big Ten) has won five of the last eight matchups with Wisconsin (4-8, 2-7) after a 14-game losing streak that was the longest for either side. The Badgers, who missed a second straight bowl season after making 22 in a row, finished with their most losses since a 1-10 record in 1990.

With snow whitening the field and wind whipping through the air all afternoon, Lindsey completed 18 of 24 passes in a safe diet of screen plays and out routes for 90 yards. The redshirt freshman nailed his most important throw on third-and-7 from the 13 in the third quarter, floating a perfectly placed ball over the line so his trusty senior tight end could secure a jumping catch in traffic as he tumbled to the turf for a 10-point lead that might as well have been double that on this wintry day for a Badgers offense that entered the game with the second-fewest yards and points in the FBS. Carter Smith threw a fourth-and-goal touchdown pass to Jackson Acker with 21 seconds left in the first half, after Hunter Simmons set up the score with a 67-yard completion to Vinny Anthony. The Badgers despite the conditions broke their streak of six straight games under 100 passing yards. But for the ninth time this season, they were held under 300 total yards. - Minnesota/AP College Football

11/29/25 - FS John Nestor, Sr/2027, Minnesota + More +

Though they failed to capitalize on Nestor's first two takeaways, the Gophers matched the plus-three turnover margin goal they set for themselves in practice during the week. The transfer cornerback from Iowa delivered interceptions on consecutive third quarter drives, just as the Badgers were starting to find success in the passing game that eluded them all season. Nestor darted in front of Trech Kekahuna for the pick and raced 68 yards before getting tackled by Simmons. Minnesota's season leader with five interceptions in 10 games, Nestor had two of his team-high-tying nine tackles in the game for loss. "He fits so well here," Fleck said. "He's the ultimate competitor." - AP College Football

11/29/25 - RB Ahmad Hardy, Jr/2028, Missouri + More +

Ahmad Hardy ran for 149 yards and a touchdown while Jamal Roberts ran for another 100 yards and a score to lead Missouri to a 31-17 win over Arkansas on Saturday. Hardy, who entered the game third in FBS in yards rushing, gave the Tigers (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) the lead, 20-17, on a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Missouri added a field goal and a 67-yard punt-return touchdown from Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fourth quarter to go ahead by two scores. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, an Arkansas native, had previously been bandied as a potential candidate for the Razorbacks' open head-coaching job. He signed an extension to stay at Missouri earlier in the week and beat Arkansas in a rivalry game for the fourth straight season. Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula threw for just 25 yards on 4-of-7 passing, but gained 78 yards on 16 carries, picking up Missouri's second-quarter touchdown that tied the game at 14. Arkansas (2-10, 0-8) had taken the lead on the previous possession after the ball slipped from Pribula's hands as he cocked his arm to pass.

Linebacker Bradley Shaw grabbed the fumble and returned it 32 yards to give Arkansas a 14-7 lead. The Razorbacks managed just two drives that went for more than 26 yards. They finished with 246 yards of total offense, despite entering the game averaging 474 per game, good for 10th in FBS. Interim head coach Bobby Petrino started redshirt freshman KJ Jackson at quarterback and let him run the first two drives of each half before replacing Jackson with usual starter Taylen Green in each half. Jackson went 11-of-17 passing for 126 yards with a first-quarter touchdown pass to O'Mega Blake. Green completed 6 of 13 passes for 59 yards. Missouri's 322 yards rushing marked the second-highest total for the Tigers this season and the most in an SEC game. Petrino served as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008-2011. He declined to comment on his job status after the game. - Missouri/AP College Football

11/29/25 - WR AJ Jones, rSr/2027, Middle Tennessee + More +

AJ Jones caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Roman Gagliano in the first overtime to send Middle Tennesee over New Mexico State 31-24 in the final game of the season for both teams on Saturday. Jones also caught a 24-yarder just before the end of the first half to put the Blue Raiders (3-9, 2-6 Conference USA) ahead at the break. Gagliano threw a touchdown pass to Landon Collins in the fourth quarter, and finished 24-of-42 passing for 260 yards.

Collins paced Middle Tennessee with 81 yards receiving on five catches. DJ Taylor had 77 rushing yards on four touches, scoring a 64-yard TD in the first quarter. Adam Damante had 311 yards passing and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions for the Aggies (5-7, 2-6). TK King racked up 178 yards receiving and two touchdowns on 10 catches. Ryan Hawk's 35-yard field goal with 58 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime. Penalty woes derailed New Mexico State's overtime possession, with two false starts forcing a first-and-15 and second-and-20. Third-string quarterback Parker Awad came into the game for the overtime frame after an injury to Damante. - Middle Tennesee/AP College Football

11/29/25 - QB Goose Crowder, rSr/2027, Troy + More +

Goose Crowder threw three touchdown passes to lead Troy to a 28-18 victory over Southern Miss on Saturday night in a Sun Belt Conference regular-season finale. Crowder's 7-yard touchdown pass to RaRa Thomas capped an 11-play, 85 yard drive that chewed up about five minutes and stretched the Trojans' lead to 21-10 with 6:58 remaining in the fourth quarter. The pair also connected on a 75-yard touchdown with 3:16 to play.

Crowder completed 24 of 34 passes for 285 yards. He also had a 16-yard touchdown pass to Peyton Higgins just before halftime. Thomas finished with five catches for 118 yards. Tae Meadows added 94 yards rushing on 21 carries that included a short-yardage TD run in the first quarter. Braylon Braxton was 20-of-35 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown pass and interception for Southern Miss. Carl Chester had four receptions for 76 yards and a 10-yard touchdown catch. Tight end Kadinn Morris recovered Jeffery Pittman's fumbled ball in the end zone late in the third quarter that pulled the Golden Eagles to 14-10. Troy (8-4, 6-2) ends the regular season with consecutive wins while Southern Miss (7-5, 5-3) ends its with three straight losses. - Troy/AP College Football

Brandon Nunez threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth and Mississippi Valley State earned its second win, first in the conference, to end the season with a 35-31 win over Florida A&M on Saturday. Jamari Stokes' picked off a pass, his second interception, from RJ Johnson III with 1:23 remaining to seal the win. The Rattlers were up 24-14 when Nunez capped a 75-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. Then on the first play of the fourth quarter wide receiver Mekhi Norris had a 27-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Nelson that put the Delta Devils on top.

A big kickoff return gave Florida A&M a quick answer with Johnson finding Kenari Wilcher for a 34-yard score in a three-play drive for a 31-28 lead. MVSU punted on its next possession then Kelly Dante intercepted a pass, setting up the Delta Devils on the 9. On third down Nunez found Norris for the winner, covering 9 yards. Nunez was 28 of 47 for 331 yards for MVSU (2-10, 1-7 SWAC) and Norris had eight catches for 140 yards.

Bill Davis ran for a 76-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter and Tony Sterner made the winning kick in overtime for Louisiana-Lafayette in a 30-27 win over UL Monroe in a season finale for both teams on Saturday. Davis's touchdown came with 12:27 left in the fourth to put the Ragin' Cajuns (6-6, 5-3 Sun Belt) ahead 24-20. UL Monroe answered with a touchdown drive when Aidan Armenta found Nic Trujillo for a 43-yard score to lead 27-24. Sterner made a 30-yard field goal with just over 3:30 to play in regulation.

In overtime, Brent Gordon Jr. made a leaping interception to keep the Warhawks off the board. Then ULL quarterback Walker Howard rushed for 20 yards to set the Ragin' Cajuns up at the 5-yard line. Two more rushing tries brought them to the 1, and Sterner drilled the kick for ULL's first overtime win of the season. Howard came in relief of Lunch Winfield, who left the game after the third quarter with an undisclosed injury. Howard had six completions for 44 yards and rushed for 33 yards. Davis had 126 yards on 15 carries. Armenta completed 19 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns for the Warhawks (3-9, 1-7). Trujillo had two touchdowns and 133 receiving yards.

11/29/25 - QB Jaylen Raynor, Sr/2027, Iowa State + More +

Jaylen Raynor threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns and Kenyon Clay's 1-yard plunge with 42 seconds left capped Arkansas State's 30-29 win over Appalachian State to help the Red Wolves reach bowl eligibility on Saturday. Appalachian State's Dominic De Freitas pushed a 45-yard field goal wide right as time expired. De Freitas finished 5 of 7 on field goal attempts with his longest coming from 48 yards.

De Freitas' 29-yard field goal with 1:42 left gave the Mountaineers a 29-23 lead. The kick followed what appeared to be an App State touchdown when on fourth-and-1 at the Arkansas State 6, JJ Kohl threw a touchdown to Dillon Galloway but the play was called back due to an illegal formation. Arkansas State (6-6, 5-3 Sun Belt Conference) promptly moved the ball 75 yards in seven plays in just 52 seconds to set up Clay's score. The big play on the drive came on Raynor's 34-yard completion to Corey Rucker who was carried out by a Mountaineers' defender at the goal line. Chauncey Cobb caught five passes for 117 yards and Rucker had 90 yards on 10 receptions and two touchdowns for the Red Wolves. Kohl threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns and Jaquari Lewis ran for 108 yards on 22 carries for Appalachian State (5-7) who will miss bowl eligibility for only the third time in the last 11 seasons. - Arkansas State/AP College Football

Jevon Jackson rushed for two touchdowns, including the game-winning score, and Jalen Kitna threw two touchdown passes in UAB's 31-24 win over Tulsa on Saturday, in the season finale for both teams. Jackson put UAB ahead on a 3-yard touchdown run with 3:40 remaining, capping a 10-play, 90-yard drive. It was UAB's first lead since the 7:51 mark of the second quarter. The win is UAB's first road win since 2022 and comes after UAB player Daniel Mincey was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and attempted murder against two teammates in a stabbing incident prior to last week's game against South Florida. UAB listed 39 players as out on Saturday, with many opting out of playing after the incident.

Kitna found Iverson Hooks for an 18-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter to put the Blazers (4-8, 2-6 American Athletic) up 7-0. Hooks caught five passes for 46 yards and a touchdown. He finished the season with 72 receptions, passing Roddy White for the third-most receptions in a single season for UAB. He also finished sixth in program history with 927 receiving yards on the season. Kitna found his second score to Brandon Hawkins Jr., tying the game at 17 in the early third quarter. Kitna was 14-of-17 passing for 166 yards. Baylor Hayes gave the Golden Hurricane a 10-7 lead on a 1-yard pass to Jewlyen Roberts. He was 11 of 22 for 159 yards and an interception. Ajay Allen rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. Braylin Presley also rushed for a score and had 46 yards rushing. - UAB/AP College Football

11/29/25 - RB Turbo Richard, Jr/2028, Indiana + More +

Turbo Richard ran for two second-half touchdowns, Jordan McDonald added two more, and Boston College scored 31 unanswered points to beat Syracuse 34-12 on Saturday to snap a 10-game losing streak. Boston College (2-10, 1-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) hadn't won since its season-opening 66-10 victory over FCS-member Fordham. Syracuse (3-9, 1-7) ended its season with eight consecutive losses. The Orange went 10-3 a year ago in coach Fran Brown's first season. The teams were tied 6-all when Richard scored from 16 yards out with 11:54 to go in the third quarter. He followed that with a 46-yard scamper early in the fourth, giving the Eagles a 27-6 lead. Sandwiched between those scores was a 2-yard run in the third by Jordan McDonald, who also added a 14-yard scoring run midway through the fourth.

The teams matched field goals in a first half that ended at 6-6. BC starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan suffered a game-ending thumb injury on the team's first series. He gave way to fifth-year senior Grayson James, who went 16 of 24 for 288 yards passing. Richard had 102 yards rushing. Lewis Bond had eight receptions for 171 yards. Syracuse, meanwhile, shuffled at quarterback between walk-on Joe Filardi and run-first tight end Dan Villari. Filardi was 10-of-18 passing for just 65 yards. Will Nixon ran for 73 yards and Filardi added 58. Villari chipped in with 44 yards rushing. Syracuse's longest pass plays went for 12 yards. Each of Syracuse's eight straight losses were by double digits after starting quarterback Steve Angeli went down with a season-ending Achilles injury against Clemson. Brown vowed to not get caught short at quarterback next season. Brown also chalked up a losing season to a mountain of injuries. - Boston College/AP College Football
