Draylen Ellis threw for 325 yards and four scores to four different receivers and Austin Peay beat Chattanooga 30-20 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams. Chattanooga entered as the preseason 18th-ranked team in the FCS and Austin Peay No. 20. Ellis found a diving Drae McCray in the back-right corner of the end zone as he rolled to his right on first-and-goal from the Mocs' 8-yard line for the go-ahead score with 40 seconds left in the third quarter.

The score made it a 23-20 contest and the Governors led the rest of the way. Ellis later connected with Ahmaad Tanner on a 4-yard touchdown to seal it at 30-20 with 8:14 left to play. Baniko Harley caught six passes for 137 yards and a score for Austin Peay and Tanner had 19 carries for 103 yards. Drayton Arnold threw for 130 yards and a touchdown for the Mocs. - Austin Peay/AP College Football

GUARDIAN FCS KICKOFF PLAYERS TO WATCH: Baniko Harley, WR,...Baniko Harley proved to be a jack of all trades in 2019, with touchdowns as a passer (1), runner (4) and receiver (7). In a season filled with highlight-reel moments, he added another at Sacramento State, running for two touchdowns and catching another, including a 45-yard dash for a touchdown on a direct snap with the Govs facing 4th-and-1, which capped a drive that started with his own on-side kick recovery. The Govs might have the FCS’ most potent 1-2 punch among receiver corps. Harley, who also was a Preseason First Team All-OVC selection, set career highs in receptions (53) and yards (839) last season. - Austin Peay Football

Austin Peay coach Mark Hudspeth has resigned after one season on the job that included him taking the Governors to a program-record 11 wins and a trip to the FCS quarterfinals. Athletic director Gerald Harrison announced Hudspeth's resignation Friday. The resignation is effective immediately. Harrison is keeping the rest of the coaching staff. Under Hudspeth, Austin Peay won its second Ohio Valley Conference championship and made its first postseason appearance. The Governors beat Furman and Sacramento State before losing to Montana State in the quarterfinals. He was named the OVC coach of the year. Hudspeth said in a statement released by Austin Peay that it was a personal decision and that he needs to spend time with his wife and children. He says he will return to coaching at the right time. Austin Peay is scheduled to start practice July 31. - AP College Football

2019 AFCA FCS COACHES' FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: DB Kordell Jackson, Jr., Austin Peay St.,...Under the tutelage of first-year nickels coach Keith Scott, Jackson has racked up seven interceptions to lead the Ohio Valley Conference, with his two fumble recoveries good for third. Jackson took two interceptions back for touchdowns against Mercer and returned a fumble for a score against Murray State. In addition to becoming the 33rd player in FCS history with multiple pick-sixes in a game, Jackson added a late strip-sack at Mercer as well.

His playoff debut against Furman saw Jackson make a season-high six tackles, including one for loss, with a fumble forced and recovered. Overall, the Birmingham, Alabama native has registered 43 tackles (35 solo), with seven tackles for loss and two sacks. He has forced and recovered two fumbles, adding three pass break-ups and three quarterback hurries to his ledger of disruption. Jackson's 159 interception return yards both led the OVC in 2019 and ranked second in program history behind only Howell Flatt's 1966 campaign. - Austin Peay Football
