Shedeur Sanders threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns and Jackson State routed Bethune-Cookman 42-12 on Saturday. Shannon Patrick threw a 29-yard scoring pass to Dylaan Lee late in the first quarter, and a field goal early in the second gave the Wildcats a 9-0 advantage. Sanders and the Tigers (6-1, 4-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) took control from there. The freshman Sanders led a seven-play, 71-yard drive that ended with a 28-yard scoring pass to Malachi Wideman with 9:53 before halftime. Four-and-a-half minutes later, Sanders ran for a 17-yard score, and following a Wildcats (0-8, 0-5) turnover, Sanders threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Wideman for a 21-9 lead to close the half. Isaiah Bolden's 94-yard kickoff return to start the second half sealed it for the Tigers. Patrick threw for 119 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. - AP College Football

Shedeur Sanders passed for 249 yards and four touchdowns, Santee Marshall ran for 122 yards and two scores and James Houston IV set the tone as Jackson State romped to a 61-15 victory over Alabama A&M in Southwestern Athletic Conference play on Saturday. Houston delivered the first score when he sacked Aqeel Glass - forcing a fumble that he returned 67 yards for a TD just 3:36 into the game. A 2-yard scoring run by JD Martin and Sanders' 6-yard TD toss to Joshua Lanier had the Tigers (4-1, 2-0) leading 20-0 after one quarter.

Glass pulled the Bulldogs (3-2, 1-2) within 20-7 with a 10-yard TD toss to Zabrian Moore, but Sanders put the game out of reach with a 37-yard scoring strike to Trevonte Rucker on the ensuing drive and a 12-yard TD toss to Warren Newman with 26 seconds left in the half for a 33-7 lead. Sanders hit Malachi Wideman for a 20-yard score before scoring on a 29-yard run. Marshall's 53-yard scoring run capped a 21-point third quarter for Jackson State. Sanders completed 17 of 24 passes as the Tigers piled up 496 yards on offense. Glass completed 26 of 40 passes for 293 yards and two TDs. Odieu Hiliaire had 10 catches for 117 yards and a score. The Bulldogs rushed for only eight yards on 32 carries. Glass had 10 totes for minus-47 yards. - AP College Football

Shedeur Sanders threw for three touchdowns and Jackson State held on downs inside its own 10-yard line in the final minute to hold off Division II Delta State 24-17 on Saturday. A 24-yard punt return by Robbie Evans set up Delta State at the 25-yard line with less than three minutes remaining, trailing 24-17. The Statesmen (2-2) converted on fourth down, then after a holding penalty and a short completion Patrick Shegog threw to Dohnte Meyers for 14 yards to the 7-yard line. Shegog then threw incomplete on third and fourth downs. Sanders completed 25 of 36 passes for 251 yards. Two of his touchdowns went to Keith Corbin III, who caught eight passes for 113 yards. Jackson State (3-1) led 17-0 at halftime but had to hold on in the end after Shegog's 35-yard TD pass to Meyers and Deion Dampier's 64-yard touchdown run helped close the gap. - AP College Football

Shedeur Sanders threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night to lead Jackson State to a 38-16 victory over Tennessee State in the Southern Heritage Classic. Sanders completed 30 of 40 passes as Jackson State (2-0) used a pair of third quarter scores to build its lead. In the frame, the freshman from Canton, Texas connected with Keith Corbin III for a 67-yard touchdown and then completed a 10-yard scoring toss to Shane Hooks. An 81-yard punt return by Warren Newman in the fourth quarter added to the Jackson State advantage.

Tennessee State (0-2) could manage little offensively, particularly when Jackson State was building its lead. In that third quarter, when Jackson State pulled away, Tennessee State managed only 54 yards of offense. Sanders spread around his passing, connecting with nine receivers, the highest number of completions in the Southern Heritage Classic history. The 362 yards passing was the third-highest ever for the game. The game featured two former NFL stars coaching on the sidelines - Eddie George for Tennessee State and Deion Sanders running the show for Jackson State. - Jackson State/AP College Football

09/09/21 - Mustafa Johnson, rSr/2022, Colorado, 6-0, 288 (DS#64 DT) + More +

A couple of weeks ago, Colorado coaches let players know that Mustafa Johnson might be coming back to the team. On Tuesday, head coach Karl Dorrell said Johnson has been cleared to start practicing with the Buffaloes, although he didn't say when the veteran defensive lineman will be eligible to play. "It's huge," linebacker Nate Landman said. "He was one of our best leaders last year and a super productive guy on the field, a great leader off the field. "We're so excited to have him back and he means a lot to this team. He's a huge leader on that D-line and having him back is nothing but great for this program." Johnson elected in January to skip his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft. He signed with an agent, but went undrafted and was unable to land a free-agent contract with an NFL team. He did receive a tryout with the New York Jets but was not signed.

He has been granted a waiver to return to CU and play his final season but has to go through practice time and serve a suspension because he did sign with an agent. When BuffZone reported last week that Johnson was coming back, sources told BuffZone that Johnson could make his debut on Oct. 2 against Southern California at Folsom Field. On Tuesday, Dorrell did not talk about a specific return date. "He will start the practice regimen," Dorrell said. "We just got clearance today, actually, about him being able to start practice. There's an acclimatization period that he needs to go through that a lot of our players when they begin practice have to do. There's also part of the stipulation of his reinstatement that he's got to serve as well. "He's just going to get himself in shape and he can help our team be better...He's going to have some time to get himself in shape. And he's excited. Our team's excited he's back and I'm excited. We feel he's going to really help us when we get into the meat of our season." - Daily Camera

Shedeur Sanders scored the only touchdown of the game and the Jackson State defense got two fourth-down stops in the closing minutes to help the Tigers beat Florida A&M on Sunday in the Orange Blossom Classic at Hard Rock Stadium. Sanders, the son of football hall of famer and Jackson State coach Deion Sanders, was 18-of-24 passing for 221 yards and scored on a 1-yard run that capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive and made it 7-3 early in the second quarter.

JSU's Trey Lockhart tackled Chad Hunter just shy of the first-down marker to force a turnover on downs near midfield with 2:59 to play. After the Tigers (1-0, 1-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) went three-and-out on the ensuing drive, Bishop Bonnet ripped off a 20-yard run to move FAMU to the Jackson State 38 with 30 seconds left. Junior Muratovic threw three consecutive incomplete passes before being sacked by James Houston and Cam'Ron Silmon on fourth-and-10 to seal it. Muratovic, a true freshman, replaced starting quarterback Rasean McKay early in the fourth quarter for Florida A&M (0-1, 0-1). McKay was 18-of-29 passing for 78 yards and Muratovic completed 5 of 12 for 47 yards. Jackson State had a chance to extend its lead with about five minutes left but had an 11-play, 77-yard drive stall when Peytton Pickett was stopped for no gain on a fourth-and-1 run from the FAMU 19. - Jackson State/AP College Football

09/03/21 - Nate Landman, rSr/2022, Colorado, 6-3, 238 (DS#12 ILB) + More +

For any athlete returning from a ruptured Achilles' tendon, the main question is not necessarily whether they'll play again, but if they'll be able to play at the same level they were at before the injury. That's the task in front of Colorado linebacker Nate Landman, who ruptured his right Achilles' during a Dec. 12 game against Utah. The All-American candidate is slated to make his return on Friday when the Buffaloes host Northern Colorado at Folsom Field (7 p.m., TV: Pac-12 Network) and he can't wait. "I'm definitely not the same player," Landman said Tuesday. "I think I'm a better player."

CU's leading tackler the past three years aggressively attacked his rehab this year and said he's gone through preseason practices without any setbacks and with an eye towards leading the defense once again. "One (way of being better), being in the film room and studying and learning a new defense," he said. "I learn new keys and things every day from my staff. So on the mental side, I'm way smarter than I was last year. And on the physical side, I feel faster and more explosive. I was even talking to (head coach Karl) Dorrell today and he thought the same thing." Tight end Brady Russell, who missed the bulk of the final five games of 2020 and spent much of the offseason getting himself ready, didn't hesitate in agreeing with Landman. "He's looked better than ever," Russell said. "Absolutely. That's not an exaggeration either. He just rehabbed so hard. He worked so hard. Me and him kind of had a similar offseason. His obviously was worse, but it's been fun working with him working back into things and trying to get back up to speed where we were. I think both of us have worked past where we were in the past. We're a lot better and more mature players than we've been before." - Daily Camera

09/03/21 - Mustafa Johnson, rSr/2022, Colorado, 6-0, 288 (DS#64 DT) + More +

One of Colorado's best defensive linemen in recent years is coming back. Mustafa Johnson, who elected in January to skip his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft, has been granted a waiver to return to CU. He was reinstated to the roster on Wednesday but is not yet eligible to play. According to a BuffZone source, Johnson must serve a suspension and CU has a few hurdles to clear in order to get him eligible. It's possible, according to a source, that Johnson could make his season debut on Oct. 2 against Southern California at Folsom Field.

After declaring for the draft, Johnson signed with an agent, but went undrafted and was unable to land a free-agent contract with an NFL team. He did receive a tryout with the New York Jets but was not signed. With one year of eligibility remaining, Johnson was able to file a waiver with the NCAA and was officially reinstated this week. He will be on scholarship as a "super senior" this season, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted to all players by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic. - Daily Camera

08/30/21 - Carson Wells, Sr/2022, Colorado, 6-3, 241 (DS#22 OLB) + More +

In spending the early part of the summer in 2020 working on the family ranch in Florida, Carson Wells kept in shape and gained some strength in preparation for his junior year. Colorado's top outside linebacker gained something else, too. "I finally got some confidence back last year," he said. "And I just keep building off of that." After battling a leg infection during his redshirt year in 2017, Wells had a good 2018, with 4.5 sacks. In 2019, he missed two games with injury and racked up 57 tackles, but only one sack. Last year, Wells exploded, leading the country in tackles for loss per game (2.67).

Despite CU playing only six games during the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened season, Wells had 16 tackles for loss, including 6.5 sacks. "I knew I had put in the work, especially over quarantine (in 2020)," he said. "I knew I put in the work and it finally showed off. Just doing work in the weight room, doing work studying the film. I was a much smarter player last year and I feel like that was a big difference." This season, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound Wells is aiming to be even better. "There's always room to get better each game," he said. "I'm my hardest critic so I get back in there the next day watching film. There's always something to improve on, so there's still room to get better." - Daily Camera

08/27/21 - Kaidon Salter, rSr/2026, Colorado, 6-1, 195 (DS#36 QB) + More +

Hugh Freeze is excited to help Kaidon Salter write the next chapter of his college career. That chapter will begin as early as this season. Salter posted on social media Tuesday night he is eligible for Liberty's Sept. 4 season opener against Campbell. Multiple university officials confirmed Salter's eligibility. The quarterback, a four-star recruit on 247Sports' composite ranking, announced he was transferring to Liberty from Tennessee on July 21 after two run-ins with police during the spring semester in Knoxville, Tennessee. The second incident resulted in his dismissal from the Volunteers' program before he played a snap.

That did not deter Freeze, the Flames coach, and his staff from recruiting the talented signal caller to Lynchburg. "We had a lot of discussions throughout the process before he decided to come here and before we decided we wanted to go that route," Freeze said earlier this month. "I'm not afraid of people, kids that may have had a bump in the road or an issue. I'm afraid of those that don't want to chase a standard. I know of very few people that have gotten it right all the time. We had those honest conversations with he and his family, and I'm convinced that he wants to write the next chapter of his life a little differently. I'm thrilled that I get the chance to play a role in it." Salter's transfer to Liberty gave the Flames their highest-ranked recruit in program history. - Lynchburg News and Advance

08/22/21 - Jack Lamb, rSr/2022, Colorado, 6-3, 230 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

Colorado's scrimmage at Folsom Field on Saturday didn't offer much of a season preview of the inside linebacker position. All-American candidate Nate Landman sat out to keep his body fresh. Veterans Jonathan Van Diest and Robert Barnes didn't participate either. It did, however, give newcomer Jack Lamb a good opportunity to play. A graduate transfer from Notre Dame, Lamb was involved with several defensive plays throughout the day. It was the latest sign that Lamb has put some injury troubles behind him as he competes for playing time with the Buffs. "Physically I feel really good, completely healthy right now," Lamb said early in camp.

"I feel like I'm in really good shape. Especially being out here in this altitude, it's been nice for getting in shape, too, so I feel good." Lamb played three seasons at Notre Dame, but the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder dealt with several injuries. That led to him falling on the Fighting Irish depth chart and making the move to Boulder. "It's been really exciting, just a whole new environment," he said. "A lot different than Indiana, obviously, in terms of weather, scenery and all that. Also just meeting all these new dudes, everyone's been great so far." - Daily Camera
