Katin Houser passed for 251 yards and two touchdowns, and East Carolina opened American Conference play with a 28-6 victory over defending league champion Army on Thursday night. East Carolina (3-2, 1-0 American) has won nine of the 10 meetings with Army, with a road setback last season. Houser threw for two touchdowns and ran for another - all in the first quarter for a 21-0 lead. Anthony Smith had a catch of 40 yards or more on ECU's opening two drives, the second giving the Pirates a 14-0 lead. Houser connected with Jayvontay Conner for a 20-yard touchdown with 39 seconds left in the first quarter. ECU's touchdown in the second half came when backup holder Kyler Pearson ran for a 32-yard touchdown on a fake field goal to cap the scoring.

Noah Short rushed for 127 yards on just 11 carries for Army (1-3, 0-2), which gained for over 100 yards on the ground for the 34th straight game. Quarterback Dewayne Coleman added 51 yards rushing, including a 2-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Army had just five first downs and 128 total yards in the first half. It was the first time the Black Knights had been shutout in the first half since 2023 against LSU. Last season, Army defeated East Carolina 45-28 behind quarterback Bryson Daily's six touchdowns (five rushing, one passing), marking the first six-touchdown game by a Black Knight since 1916. - East Carolina/AP College Football

Parker Jenkins, Mike Wright Jr., and TJ Engleman Jr. each had over 30 rushing yards and scored a touchdown. London Montgomery led with 59 yards on 15 carries.

Mike Wright led three scoring drives, Robert Fitzgerald intercepted a pass in the final minute and Northwestern won the first game in its temporary lakefront stadium, beating Miami (Ohio) 13-6 in the season opener on Saturday. Miami had the ball on the Northwestern 35 when Brett Gabbert tried to hit Reggie Virgil. Fitzgerald picked off the pass at the 25, helping the Wildcats open their second season under coach David Braun on a triumphant note.

They did it in a setting as unique as any, before a sellout crowd of 12,023 not counting the boats bobbing in the background on Lake Michigan. The stadium where they'll play the majority of their home games the next two seasons while a new home is built about a mile west has a bit of a high school or small college feel, albeit with a postcard view. The capacity is far fewer than at the old Ryan Field (47,000) and the new one (35,000) being built on that site, let alone other venues in the Big Ten. Wright completed 18 of 30 passes for 178 yards after winning a preseason competition for the starting job. The Mississippi State transfer also ran for 65 yards and a touchdown. - AP College Football

02/28/23 - Ladarian Paulk, rSr/2026, East Carolina, 5-11, 186 (DS#999 SS) + More +

Memphis football defensive back Ladarian Paulk became the latest starter to leave the program when he announced Sunday that he'll enter the transfer portal in May. The NCAA's spring transfer portal window opens from May 1-15. Paulk is not listed on the team's spring roster, so he's eligible to remain a student at Memphis before his departure.

Paulk played in nine games with eight starts at safety and had 28 tackles with one pass deflection in his lone season with the Tigers. He transferred before last season from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College and has two years of eligibility remaining. With Paulk gone, the Tigers' secondary loses another player with experience. Sylvonta Oliver and Quindell Johnson both exhausted their eligibility after last season. The Tigers do return two-year starting cornerback Greg Rubin and senior cornerback Davion Ross, who started six games last season and was an All-AAC honorable mention. - Memphis commercial Appeal

It would be surprising if quarterback Will Rogers lost his starting job entering his senior season. He has started 33 of 35 games in three seasons, holds the SEC career completions record (1,159) and owns the MSU record for career passing yards (10,689) and touchdowns (82). However, Vanderbilt transfer Mike Wright didn't come to Starkville looking to spend his senior season on the bench. It'll be interesting to see if Wright can push for Rogers' job or if he earns a role running special packages in Barbay's offense. - The Clarion Ledger

01/30/23 - Holton Ahlers, rSr/2023, East Carolina, 6-3, 227 (DS#17 QB) + More +

East Carolina quarterback Holton Ahlers was named MVP of the annual all-star game after completing 9-of-12 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown for the American team. "It feels great. I just wanted to come out here and show what I can do, show that I can hang, show that I deserve a spot in this league," Ahlers told NFL Network's Bridget Condon after the game. "Offensive line blocked great when I was in, the receivers caught the ball really well and we just moved the ball. "I missed a few throws. I didn't have a perfect game. I did feel like I played really well. Showcased my skills all week. Not just this game, but when the scouts were out here, I felt like I performed really well all week. I was just ready to come out here and show the world what I can do."

The game capped off a week-long event for the participating 2023 NFL Draft prospects, including practices in front of 300-plus NFL scouts and NFLPA U sessions on the business of football. The American team was led by former NFL head coach Jeff Fisher, who earned the victory over Eddie George, coach of the National team. George, currently the Tennessee State head coach, played for Fisher during his career with the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans. - NFL Network

Mississippi State added a familiar name to its quarterbacks room Sunday afternoon. Former Vanderbilt quarterback Mike Wright committed to the Bulldogs on Sunday, he announced on Twitter. Wright entered the transfer portal Dec. 5 at the end of the 2022 season. Mostly playing behind AJ Swann for the Commodores, Wright completed 85 of 148 passes this season with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He finished the year with a quarterback rating of 57.7.

He will have two remaining years of eligibility. - The Dispatch
