  NOV 1 SUN BELT FOOTBALL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Alan Lamar, Arkansas State,(Sr., RS – Olive Branch, Miss.),...Arkansas State senior running back and return specialist Alan Lamar returned five kickoffs for a school-record 232 yards-the most in the FBS this season. The performance was punctuated by a 100-yard return for a touchdown, the second of the season for Lamar. With the return, the Olive Branch, Miss., native became the 13th player in Sun Belt history with multiple kickoff-return touchdowns in a season. Lamar-who has taken over second place in the Red Wolves record book with 922 kickoff return yards this season-needs just 78 yards to become the sixth player in Sun Belt Conference history with 1,000 kickoff return yards in a single campaign. - Sun Belt Football

  Ahmaad Tanner rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns, Brian Snead ran for 132 yards and two scores and Sheldon Layman added two TD passes as Austin Peay romped to a 47-6 victory over Murray State in Ohio Valley Conference action on Saturday. Tanner scored on a 37-yard run and Snead added a 44-yarder in the first quarter, but the lead stood at 12-0 after the Governors (3-4, 1-1) were stopped on a 2-point conversion try and missed a point-after kick. Layman hooked up with Baniko Harley for a 35-yard TD and a 19-0 lead midway through the second quarter before Murray State scored on DJ Williams' 2-yard TD toss to Jake Saathoff with 37 seconds left before halftime. The 2-point try failed and left the Racers (3-4, 0-2) trailing 19-6. Tanner added TD runs of 17 and 2 yards in the third quarter, Layman tossed a 6-yard TD to Drae McCray in the fourth and Snead capped the scoring with a 3-yard TD run.

Miami (3-4, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) has won its last 12 home games and five straight against Akron (2-5, 1-2). Mayer was 19 of 27 for 229 yards passing that including a 57-yard TD throw to Jack Sorenson and 23-yarder to Andrew Homer.

  Backup quarterback AJ Mayer threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rally Miami (OH) to a 28-17 victory over Central Michigan in a Mid-American Conference opener on Saturday. Starting QB Brett Gabbert staked the RedHawks (2-3, 1-0) to a 14-0 first-quarter lead with touchdown strikes to Andrew Homer and Jack Sorenson, covering 24 and 36 yards, respectively. Miami was leading 14-7 when an injury sidelined Gabbert late in the second quarter. Marshall Meeder's 39-yard field goal was the only scoring in the third quarter, cutting the Chippewas' deficit to four points.

Daniel Richardson gave Central Michigan a 17-14 lead on an 11-yard TD toss to Dallas Dixon with 1:25 gone in the fourth quarter. But Mayer connected with Nate Muersch for a 23-yard TD on the ensuing possession and wrapped up the win with a 11-yard scoring strike to Sorenson with 7:44 left to play. Mayer completed 13 of 18 passes for 179 yards with one interception for the RedHawks. Gabbert completed 12 of 20 throws for 171 yards before leaving. Mac Hippenhammer hauled in eight passes for 170 yards, while Keyon Mozee rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries. Richardson was 22-of-41 passing for 326 yards and two TDs - including a 41-yarder to JaCorey Sullivan in the second quarter for the Chippewas (2-3, 0-1). Dixon finished with seven receptions for 113 yards. - Miami (OH)/AP College Football

The Olive Branch, Miss., native concluded the game with 178 yards on five returns-the fourth-most in Red Wolves program history and the third-most in the nation this season. His 93-yard return tied the ninth longest in school history, while his 352 kickoff return yards through four games are the second-most in the FBS. - Sun Belt Football

  Corey Rucker acknowledged last week that he had jitters entering Arkansas State University's season opener. The sophomore was making just his second career start and is part of a group that understands the task it shares in replacing Jonathan Adams. You wouldn't have known the butterflies existed by the time Rucker hauled in his third touchdown pass of the night, blowing past a pair of University of Central Arkansas defensive backs before high-stepping up the ramp in the corner of Centennial Bank Stadium.

While Coach Butch Jones has not named a starting quarterback for ASU's Saturday showdown with Memphis, it could be Layne Hatcher partly because of his connection with Rucker. "As much as Layne and I have worked together in the offseason, he trusts me," Rucker said Tuesday during the Red Wolves' weekly media availability. "[Layne] knows we've got a lot of rhythm and timing, and he knows that if he throws me the ball, I can catch it." Rucker, who was named Sun Belt Conference offensive player of the week Monday, now has eight career touchdown receptions -- the last six of which have come from Hatcher during ASU's two most recent games. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Each of the Bentonia, Miss., product's three touchdowns came in the second half, helping the Red Wolves overcome a 7-6 halftime deficit in their season-opener at Centennial Bank Stadium. - Sun Belt Football

  Two weeks before the start of the season, Ole Miss football still isn't done building its roster. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin announced the addition of offensive lineman Jordan Rhodes to the roster Monday. Rhodes, who played in 20 games over the last three years at South Carolina, is a 6-foot-4, 335-pound lineman originally from Fairburn, Georgia. Rhodes has two years of eligibility remaining and will be immediately eligible to play. Rhodes played in four games for South Carolina in 2020 without making a start. He played in all 12 of the Gamecocks' games in 2019. Rhodes entered his name into the transfer portal in April. This addition marks two veteran offensive linemen added by the Rebels this summer. Ole Miss also brought in Utah transfer Orlando Umana, who is expected to start at center when healthy. - The Clarion Ledger

  Another South Carolina football player is reportedly heading for a new stop. Redshirt senior offensive lineman Jordan Rhodes entered the transfer portal Friday a USC athletic department spokesperson confirmed to The State. Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports first reported the news. Rhodes played in 20 games over the past three seasons, mostly in a reserve role. He opted out of the 2020 season before opting back in. Rhodes wasn't among the linemen working with the first-team offense during the practice portions that have been open to the media. He was rated a three-star recruit in the 2017 class and chose South Carolina over offers from Missouri, Cincinnati and Mississippi State, among others. - Rock Hill Herald

  This certainly wasn't how Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell wanted to settle on a starting quarterback. On Monday, Dorrell announced that sophomore JT Shrout has a "significant injury" to his knee, sustained during the Buffaloes' scrimmage at Folsom Field on Saturday. Returning freshman Brendon Lewis is now slated to be CU's starter when the Buffs open the season Sept. 3 at Folsom Field against Northern Colorado. "They did the MRI and he does have a significant injury and he will be out for a period of time," Dorrell said.

Asked if there was a chance Shrout could return this year, Dorrell said, "I don't know. We'll see after the surgery. I know that sometimes when they get in there, they find out, 'Oh, it wasn't as bad.' It's hard to tell." For now, however, it's a tough break for Shrout and the Buffs. Lewis and Shrout had battled all offseason for the starting job, with coaches often saying the competition was extremely close. Dorrell had planned to settle on a starter later in camp. On Friday, he said Shrout and Lewis have been "literally 1A and 1B. They both are playing really well." - Daily Camera

  While the linebacker room is happy to have Hansen back, defensive backs coach Aaron Henry finds his own group stacked with transfers from winning programs. Specifically, senior Prather Hudson (from Georgia) and sophomore Eddie Smith (from Alabama) are expected to make an immediate contribution. Smith saw action in nine games with the Crimson Tide between 2018 and 2020, winning a national title in his final season in Tuscaloosa, Ala. "You're talking about a guy who's experienced," Henry said of Smith. "He sees things before they happen. He's teaching a lot of other guys in our room things like, 'Hey, I'm looking at this guy split. This is what he does with his gloves when he's running out of the huddle.' So just little things like that." - News Gazette Tribune

  If quarterback was the most discussed position with last year's Red Wolves, then wide receiver was second-most, mainly because of the human highlight reel that was Adams. The Jonesboro native had twice as many yards as the next-closest ASU wideout and his 12 touchdowns were also a team best. There's no one player that's going to replace Adams, but it looks like the Red Wolves have a deep group that could cause problems for opposing secondaries. It'll start with Dahu Green, who is entering his fifth season at ASU and his sixth year of college football. Ever since transferring in from Oklahoma, Green has played only 12 games -- none in 2017, one in 2018 and 11 the last two seasons combined. Yet when he's been healthy, he makes for an easy target at 6-4 and can be a downfield threat, especially for a prolific deep passer like Hatcher. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  Arkansas State junior running back Marcel Murray was named to the Doak Walker Award Watch List on Wednesday. The prestigious honor is annually awarded to the nation's top college running back. Murray is one of 82 players from across the nation to receive a spot on the watch list for the award and earned a spot for the third consecutive season. He is one of five A-State backs to earn the recognition in at least two different seasons and just the third to do so in three different years, joining standouts Warren Wand (2016-18) and Reggie Arnold (2007-09) as the only three to do so.

The Red Wolves have now had a player tabbed to the Doak Walker Award Watch List nine consecutive seasons dating back to 2013. Murray was named Third Team All-Sun Belt in 2018, the same season he was awarded as the league's Freshman of the Year after rushing for 860 yards and eight scores. In his three seasons as a Red Wolf, the Hiram, Georgia, native has rushed for 1,846 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was also an Honorable Mention All-Sun Belt Conference pick in 2019. - KAIT8.Com

  Alabama outside linebacker King Mwikuta entered the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday, a source confirmed to AL.com. On3 Sports first reported the development. Mwikuta was a four-star recruit by the Tide in 2019 who mostly appeared on special teams the past two seasons. The West Point, Georgia native did not have a clear path to playing time on defense this season after the emergence of outside linebackers Will Anderson and Christopher Allen last season. Both will return this fall, while 2020 five-star recruits Chris Braswell and Drew Sanders could also earn playing time at the position. Sophomore Quandarrius Robinson and freshman Keanu Koht round out Alabama's other options at outside linebacker. - Birmingham News
