Jah'Marae Sheread scored on a 34-yard catch-and-run from backup quarterback Rasean McKay on fourth down - breaking five tackles on the way - to spark Florida A&M to a 34-7 victory over Division II-member Fort Valley State on Saturday. McKay's effort on a fourth-and-4 play - in a game that saw a 30-minute lightning delay in the first half - helped the Rattlers (1-1) pull away from a 7-7 halftime tie. McKay took over in the second half for freshman QB Junior Muratovic. A&M's defense got in on the scoring when Isaiah Land forced a fumble on a sack that was scooped up and returned 45 yards for a score by Lerodrick James for a 21-7 lead. Bishop Bonnett added a 12-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Muratovic connected with tight end Kamari Young for A&M's first TD of the season in the first quarter. The Rattlers were held to two field goals in a 7-6 season-opening loss to Jackson State. Jose Romo-Martinez added two fourth-quarter field goals, including a 49-yarder. - AP College Football

Police identified Antwan Collier as the driver and linebacker Eric Mitchell and defensive backs Aaron Robinson and Brandon Moore as passengers.

Officers reported they smelled cannabis inside the car. While searching the car, they found a backpack on a passenger-side floorboard with a "loaded AR 15 semi-automatic rifle with a magazine inserted" and a "Glock pistol with an extended magazine." Mitchell had a valid concealed carry license and the firearms were placed in the trunk of the car but Collier said he had a third gun under the driver's seat. He told the police he also had a concealed carry license, but officers could not confirm it existed. Collier also told police he had an identification card and intended to get his license, but he did not have one with him. Officers arrested Collier and charged him with driving without a license and carrying a firearm without a license. - Orlando Sentinel
