  Kenan Christon only got in the game because the first three tailbacks on Southern California's depth chart were all hurt and the fourth-stringer had just fumbled. With the eye-popping speed that made him California's 100-meter high school champion last May, the freshman scored two blazing touchdowns to clinch a blowout win over Arizona. Although the Trojans are barely outrunning their injury woes, they've still got talent that can burn. They're also still leading the Pac-12 South after a 41-14 victory over the Wildcats on Saturday night.

Christon rushed for 88 of his 103 yards in the fourth quarter of an electrifying debut for the Trojans (4-3, 3-1 Pac-12). The San Diego native flew past the Arizona secondary on a 55-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter, and he added a 30-yard TD sprint down the middle less than five minutes later. "There's a lot of great football players on this team, so it's hard to judge his speed," USC coach Clay Helton said. "But it's nice to have that feeling and know that when the play breaks, if he's even, he's leavin'." Kedon Slovis threw touchdown passes to Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Vaughns as USC remained unbeaten at the Coliseum this season and atop the division alongside Utah, which lost to USC last month. - USC/AP College Football

  Derrick Ponder passed for 194 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Adrian Salazar kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime as Jackson State rallied past Mississippi Valley State 31-28 on Saturday. Elvia Payton broke up a third-down pass in overtime, forcing the Delta Devils to try a 44-yard field goal, which missed. Salazar lined up the winner from 34 yards. Jackson State (2-5, 1-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference) fell into a hole as MVSU (1-6, 0-3) scored 21 unanswered points to open the game. Ponder threw a 19-yard TD to DD Bowie to get the Tigers on the board just before halftime and start a 28-0 run. Freshman Kymari Clarke's 7-yard TD run gave the Tigers a 28-21 lead with 1:21 remaining in the fourth quarter. Dejerric Bryant sent the game into OT when his 7-yard touchdown run knotted the score at 28-28 with 28 seconds left in regulation.

After forcing the Sharks (0-6, 0-5) to punt, Brown connected with Jenkins to seal it. Clay Beathard threw for 157 yards for Long Island. The game was the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Red Flash were the only Northeast Conference team the Sharks had never faced in the 62-year history of the program. - AP College Football

  SEPT 2/WEEK 1 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: JASON BROWN, SAINT FRANCIS, QB, So., 6-4, 230 lbs., Fredericksburg, VA/Chancellor,...WEEK 1 Stats: 308 yards of total offense, 293 pass yards, 59.4 completion pct., 2 TD passes,..Brown did plenty for Saint Francis during his first career start under center. The sophomore signal caller accounted for 308 yards of total offense and both Red Flash touchdowns in a 14-13 road win. The 6-foot-4 right-handed gunslinger went 22-of-37 passing for 293 yards and two scores. He netted 15 rush yards, too, including a key scramble for a first down on the game-winning, fourth-quarter drive.

Brown completed his first four passes of the game, marching SFU into the red zone on a drive that ended with a missed field goal. The native Virginian sparked a second-half comeback with his first career touchdown pass, airing it out and hitting a wide open EJ Jenkins in stride for a 75-yard score that pulled the Flash within 13-7. Brown's second touchdown pass completed the comeback with 1:17 remaining in the game. Flushed out of the pocket on a 2nd-and-10 play, he found an open Terell Johnson along the sideline for a 35-yard scoring strike. Brown did not commit a turnover during his starting debut. - Northeast Conference Football

  09/14/19 - Jason Brown, rSr/2024, Jackson State, 6-2, 230 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Jason Brown threw for three touchdowns and Saint Francis (Pa.) dominated the second half on Saturday in a 42-14 win over Merrimack.

The Warriors (1-2), who are in their first year of transitioning to the Division I FCS level, had grabbed the lead on Darion McKenzie's 30-yard interception return of a Brown pass 1:08 before intermission.

  Jason Brown escaped a near sack and fired a dart to Terell Johnson for a 35-yard game-winning touchdown pass as St. Francis rallied past Lehigh 14-13 in Saturday's season opener. Brown's first two career touchdown passes came after halftime during his first start. Trailing 13-0 at the break, Brown threw a deep strike to his high school teammate EJ Jenkins for the Red Flash's first score late in the third quarter, and zipped the winner to Johnson with 1:17 left to play. Brown completed 22 of 37 passes for 293 yards. Jenkins led all receivers with 125 yards on five catches. He caught Brown's 75-yard TD pass over his left shoulder without breaking stride.

Lehigh mounted a serious bid to regain the lead in the final minute. Starting at their own 4, the Mountain Hawks drove 74 yards before Austin Henning's potential game-winning 40-yard field goal sailed wide as time expired. Henning had earlier connected from 21 and 37 yards. Lehigh's Sam McCloskey scored the lone TD with a 56-yard fumble recovery. The loss foiled the debut of coach Tom Gilmore, who would have been the 16th Lehigh coach to win his first game. - AP College Football

  08/11/19 - John Huggins, rSr/2024, Jackson State, 6-1, 213 (DS#25 FS) + More +

  Florida defensive back John Huggins has been dismissed from the football program. A team spokesman declined to say what prompted the sophomore's dismissal. Huggins had missed all of preseason camp while dealing with what the Gators called a "family issue." According to a police report released earlier this week, a 19-year-old University of Florida student accused Huggins of choking her during a tutoring session last October. Huggins was upset because the tutor took his phone in hopes of ensuring he would stay for the entire session, the report said.

The woman had previously been uncomfortable because Huggins pulled her hair in another session, the report said. She did not pursue a criminal case, and no charges were filed from the battery complaint. Coach Dan Mullen said Tuesday that Huggins was punished; he missed five games following the alleged incident and is currently enrolled at the school. Mullen added that Huggins' most recent absence had nothing to do with the alleged incident in October. - AP College Football

  08/06/19 - John Huggins, rSr/2024, Jackson State, 6-1, 213 (DS#25 FS) + More +

  Florida coach Dan Mullen insists he has "great clarity" regarding absentee defensive back John Huggins. Not many others do. Huggins has missed every practice during fall camp because of what the Gators say is a "family issue." Mullen declined to elaborate, but said Tuesday it has nothing to do with the sophomore allegedly choking a female student last year. "That's all been handled," Mullen said.

According to a police report released this week in response to public records requests, a 19-year-old University of Florida student said Huggins choked her during a tutoring session last October. Huggins was upset because the tutor took his phone in hopes of ensuring he would stay for the entire session, the report said. - AP College Football
