Christian Turner had two of No. 15 Wake Forest's four rushing touchdowns in a 45-10 victory over Army on Saturday night. The Demon Deacons (5-1) put on an early clinic in rushing offense against an Army team that favors an all-out running attack. Justice Ellison led Wake Forest running backs with 96 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown. Sam Hartman threw a touchdown pass on his way to 246 yards on 13-for-19 passing. Wake Forest, which won for the second week in a row following a double-overtime loss to Clemson, compiled 94 first-quarter rushing yards while claiming a 14-0 lead. The Demon Deacons finished with 267 yards rushing.

Army (1-4) lost in its lone road game across a two-month stretch on the schedule. The Black Knights had 225 rushing yards, led by Ay'Jaun Marshall with 44 on three carries. The Black Knights finally scored on Jemel Jones' 20-yard pass to Isaiah Alston in the fourth quarter. The Demon Deacons scored on Quinton Cooley's 1-yard, fourth-down run with 2:37 to play in the first half. Army had 194 yards of first-half offense, but was hurt by two turnovers. The Black Knights had a couple of strong scoring chances. They fumbled on the game's first possession inside the Wake Forest 10, resulting in the Demon Deacons' 91-yard touchdown drive. Another chance went by the wayside on Quinn Maretzki's missed 42-yard field goal in the third quarter. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

Kurtis Rourke set a single-game passing record for Ohio with 537 yards and his fourth touchdown pass went to Jacoby Jones with 52 seconds remaining to help Ohio hold off FCS-member Fordham 59-52 on Saturday. Fordham, trailing 53-52, drove to its 40 with five seconds left but the final play ended in Bryce Houston's fumble return for a touchdown to prevent an FCS-FBS upset. Rourke was 41-of-50 passing with four touchdowns for Ohio (2-2), which totaled 692 yards. He also carried it 10 times for 45 yards and a score. Jones and Tyler Foster each had two touchdown grabs. Tim DeMorat's record-breaking day came up just short for Fordham (3-1), which was trying to open the season 4-0 for the first time since 2013 when the Rams opened with ten straight wins. DeMorat threw his school-record sixth TD pass, the fourth to Fotis Kokosioulis for an 84-yarder, to put the Rams up 49-38 with 53 seconds left in the third quarter.

Kurtis Rourke threw four touchdown passes and Ohio held off a late rally by Florida Atlantic in a 41-38 victory on Saturday night. The Bobcats (1-0) survived a wild fourth quarter in which the Owls had a chance to take the lead after twice trailing by 17 points. N'Kosi Perry led the rally for FAU (1-1), finishing 23-of-41 passing for 346 yards with five touchdowns. Rourke completed 27 of 34 passes for 345 yards. Sieh Bangura had 114 yards rushing and James Bostic had 136 receiving yards with one touchdown for the Bobcats.

Ohio took its first lead at 20-17 on the first possession of the second half, an 11-play, 87-yard drive capped by Rourke's 5-yard pass to Sam Wiglusz. Rourke later added a 2-yard touchdown pass and a 1-yard scoring run and the Bobcats led 34-17 early in the fourth quarter. After Perry and Rourke traded touchdown passes Ohio led 41-24 with seven minutes remaining. Perry then led a rally, hitting Jahmal Edrine for a 7-yard score at 6:09 and LaJohntay Wester for another 7-yarder at 4:09. With the score 41-38, the Owls forced a three-and-out then took possession at their own 19 with 1:36 remaining. After a couple of first downs, the drive stalled on downs near midfield and the Bobcats took a knee to end the game. - Ohio/AP College Football

Roman Hemby ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns, including a 70-yard sprint in the first minute of the second half that helped Maryland pull away to a 31-10 victory over Buffalo on Saturday. On an otherwise uneven day for the Maryland offense, Hemby breezed through a gaping hole and raced untouched to the end zone for the team's longest run since 2019. That gave the Terrapins a 24-7 advantage after 39 seconds in the third quarter. Antwaine Littleton also ran for two touchdowns for Maryland (1-0), and Taulia Tagovailoa threw for 290 yards.

It was also a solid defensive showing for the Terrapins, who return a talented quarterback and an impressive group of receivers but still need to show they can stop top teams. Buffalo (0-1) didn't give them much of a test. The Bulls were outgained 446-268. Hemby, a redshirt freshman who had 17 rushing attempts last season, made the most of his seven carries in this year's opener. He scored on a 33-yard run in the first quarter, and then Littleton added a 2-yard touchdown in the second. - Maryland/AP College Football

08/14/22 - Mikail Kamara, rSr/2026, Indiana, 6-0, 265 (DS#10 DE) + More +

Mikail Kamara is a name to know on the James Madison football team. "He's a big, twitchy guy," said James Madison redshirt senior tight end Drew Painter. "He's fast. He gets off the ball. He'll give you a good punch off and when you gotta get him down, he's hard to get down...he just plays hard and flies around." Kamara is expected to be a big-time contributor for JMU along the defensive line this fall. The Ashburn, Virginia native will likely start for the Dukes after missing all of last season due to injury. Kamara has worked his way back on to the field after multiple torn labrum injuries. "I had a huge surgery where they put a bunch of rods in, a whole bunch of stuff," said Kamara. "So the first month or so I was in a sling, back-to-back slings. And then after that was when I started getting a little bit of shoulder motion and the by October (2021) is when I started touching the weight room, I started running and doing stuff like that." The explosive defensive lineman first burst on the scene at JMU during the 2021 spring season when Kamara registered three sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss in just six games. He's hoping to make even more of an impact for the Dukes in 2022. - WHSV.com

08/11/22 - Devon Matthews, rSr/2023, Indiana, 6-0, 203 (DS#40 SS) + More +

Somewhere, in the midst of a soul-searching offense inside IU's North End Zone football facility, safeties coach Jason Jones asked his star safety what brought him back. Devon Matthews - better known by his nickname, "Monster" - probably would've had NFL options. He'd accomplished a tremendous amount in college, both individually as one of the Hoosiers' best defensive players across the past four seasons and collectively as part of a group that guided Indiana to back-to-back bowl games in 2019 and 2020.

Jones, then, was curious: After a tremendously disappointing 2021 season, why did Matthews elect to use his COVID season and opt for one more year in college? "The reason that he chose to come to Indiana was because he wanted to come here and do something different," Jones said. "He said, 'Coach, we didn't finish the right way. I want to come back, and we're gonna finish this thing the right way." As Tom Allen's program tries to rebound from its dismal 2-10 performance last season, the Hoosiers will lean heavily on their most experienced players this fall. Players for whom last year's bottoming out was an aberration across the course of 4-5 years spent either in the bowl field or pushing up against it all the way into the final weekend of the regular season. Nowhere on his roster can Allen count more of those players than in his all-important defensive backfield. - Indianapolis Star/News

08/10/22 - D.J. Matthews Jr., rSr/2023, Indiana, 5-10, 160 (DS#999 WR) + More +

D.J. Matthews is one of the smallest players on Indiana's roster, but no one left a bigger void than the Florida State transfer when he suffered a season-ending knee injury at Western Kentucky in week four last season. Indiana brought in Matthews to fill the opening left by Whop Philyor as the next playmaker in the open field, and the 5-foot-11 and 160-pound Jacksonville, Fla. product was highly productive in a number of ways. Matthews caught 13 passes for 165 yards, returned four punts for 83 yards with a career-long, 81-yard touchdown against Idaho, and he rushed twice for 28 yards with a score.

Indiana's offense was never a juggernaut in 2021, but in the first four weeks with the shifty Matthews on the field IU scored 119 points. They would only produce 88 points over the final eight contests without him. When Matthews went down in a heap on the turf at Western Kentucky as he recovered a muffed punt, in many ways the IU offense crumbled right along with him. That realization once again hit IU coach Tom Allen and his assistants this week as the Hoosiers opened fall camp in Bloomington. "After the first practice, the general consensus of the staff was 'wow, boy did we sure miss D.J. last year," Allen said on Friday via Zoom. "It really, really hurt us last year losing him. He didn't get to play very many games, so you kind of forget really how good he was." - Thedailyhoosier.com

2022 PRESEASON CHUCK BEDNARIK AWARD WATCH LIST: Tiawan Mullen, Indiana, Senior CB,...The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native earned All-America accolades in each of his first two seasons on campus and is a two-time All-Big Ten performer. In 2021, Mullen was the first cornerback in program history to earn first-team All-America honors (FWAA, Phil Steele) and just the second cornerback (Tim Wilbur, 1980; second team) in school history to achieve All-America status. His first-team selection made him the first Hoosier since offensive lineman Dan Feeney (2015, 2016) to claim first-team recognition. Mullen was also the program's first cornerback to card first-team All-Big Ten honors since Tracy Porter (2007) after he made 38 tackles, 27 solo, with 3.5 sacks, 4.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, one forced fumble, four pass breakups, and one quarterback hurry in eight games. He led all Big Ten defensive backs in sacks (T-12th overall) and TFLs, and shared No. 6 overall in interceptions. - Indiana Football
