  Darren Grainger ran for one touchdown and threw for another as Furman crushed Charleston Southern, 46-13 in the season-opener Saturday. Grainger, a redshirt freshman, played in four games and started against Elon a year ago before earning the starting job. Picked to finish second in the Southern Conference and ranked in two different Football Championship Subdivision polls, Furman kicked off its season at home for the first time since 2015 with its first-ever meeting with Charleston Southern.

The loss spoiled the head coaching debut of Charleston Southern's Autry Denson, who became just the fifth head coach in Buccaneers history in January. Jamey Chadwell, who guided CSU past The Citadel in the 2013 opener, is the only coach to win his debut at the school. Grainger capped a six-play, 46-yard drive by scoring from the 4 for the game's first touchdown. Devin Abrams and Devin Wynn each had first-half touchdown runs as the Paladins held a 24-6 advantage at intermission. - AP College Football

  Clemson co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott has been around a number of impressive backs during his time with the Tigers. But he has never had a back who is as natural at catching the ball out of the backfield as freshman Michel Dukes. "I think Mikey's got the most natural ball skills of any guy that I've had, including (Andre) Ellington," Elliott said following Friday's practice. "It's just easy for him. You can see it."

Dukes and fellow freshman Chez Mellusi arrived on campus this summer, and the two are already turning heads. They haven't different playing styles, but both have made plays throughout fall camp. "They compliment each other very, very well. I think we all know Chez is the bigger guy. He's got really, really good straight line speed. He doesn't mess around. He's a one-cut guy, understands that no cut is the best cut," Elliott said. "Where Mikey is an elusive guy that catches the ball extremely well. Probably has the best ball skills of anybody I've ever had here at Clemson. So I think they're going to compliment each other that way." - The State
