  Quarterback Zion Webb ran for three scores, Jacksonville State scored five unanswered touchdowns and the Gamecocks rallied to a 42-17 victory over Stephen F. Austin in a lightning-shortened FCS Kickoff on Saturday. The game was delayed by lightning with a little more than 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and did not resume, making a winner of Rich Rodriguez in his debut as Gamecocks coach.

After their short field goal try was blocked with 3:32 remaining in the second quarter, the Gamecocks, trailing 17-7, forced three-and-out on consecutive SFA possessions and cashed in with two touchdowns. Matt LaRoche covered 8 yards for the first of those scores and Webb ran 4 yards for the other. The Gamecocks continued to click on offense in the third quarter, driving 82 yards for one touchdown and 52 yards for another. Webb scored both of those touchdowns on 2-yard runs. Cole Fuller recovered a fumble by the Lumberjacks punter in the end zone for another third-quarter touchdown and the lead was 42-17 heading to the weather-delayed fourth period. Webb completed 9 of 15 passes for 160 yards to go with 59 rushing yards on 11 carries. Anwar Lewis carried 12 times for 100 yards. - AP College Football

  Jacksonville State punter Jack Dawson was arrested Monday on multiple charges of assault against a former teammate, including one involving sexual assault, Troy Municipal Court Supervision Officer David Hennigan confirmed to the Montgomery Advertiser. Dawson turned himself in to authorities and was released on a signature bond. Dawson, who was served a summons July 29 at the Jacksonville State football practice field, is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 5. Dawson faced three warrants for his arrest related to separate incidents that allegedly took place during the fall of 2020 when Dawson played at Troy, according to Hennigan. Dawson transferred to Jacksonville State after the 2020 season and was the Gamecocks' starting punter during the 2021 season. He was listed on the Gamecocks' roster as of Monday afternoon. - USAToday.com

  Virginia Tech wide receiver Dallan Wright suffered a season-ending injury during fall camp. Coach Brent Pry announced the injury after the team's practice on Wednesday and told reporters the receiver had surgery earlier this week. "We wish him the best, he was really having a nice camp," Pry said. "I'm excited about his future. He's in great spirits. Obviously our medical team is taking great care of him. He's on the road recovery." Wright didn't participate in the two practices the media were allowed to see portions of last week and didn't attend fan day.

The injury comes at a receivers position that was already low on scholarship players. Wright's injury leaves the Hokies with nine scholarship receivers, a number that includes two true freshmen (Tucker Holloway and Xayvion Bradshaw) and former running back Cole Beck, who spent last year away from football. Wright, a 6-foot-1, 176-pounder from South Carolina, was a three-star prospect out of Saluda High School and a late addition to the 2020 signing class. - Roanoke Times
