  10/31/21 - Dylan Morris, rSr/2025, James Madison, 6-0, 202 (DS#34 QB) + More +

  Dylan Morris threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jalen McMillan with 21 seconds remaining, lifting Washington past Stanford 20-13 on Saturday night. Sean McGrew ran for 114 yards on 19 carries to pace Washington's best game of the year running the ball. Cameron Davis added 99 yards on 18 attempts to help the Huskies (4-4, 3-2 Pac-12) pile up a season-high 229 yards on the ground. Peyton Henry matched his career-high with four field goals.

Afterward, loud music blared from Washington's locker room as the Huskies celebrated their first win in Stanford since 2007. "That feeling right there is just going to give us so much more confidence," Morris said. "That's the resilience we have on this team. We harped on all this week details and coming out with energy and starting fast. That definitely showed in this game." Stanford has lost three straight since knocking off then-No. 3 Oregon. "Not the way we wanted to come out after the bye," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "Honestly (we) played defense good the entire game but once again it comes down to two minutes and we couldn't get the stop to end the game. That's how you lose." The Cardinal (3-5, 2-4) trailed most of the game before scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter to take a brief lead. Quarterback Tanner McKee scored on a 1-yard dive and Joshua Karty kicked a 43-yard field goal that put Stanford up 13-12. The Huskies turned the ball over on downs on its ensuing possession but forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with 2:51 remaining. - Washington/AP College Football

  Cole Johnson threw a school-record six touchdown passes and James Madison beat Elon 45-21 on Saturday to take over first place in the Colonial Athletic Association. The victory gave the Dukes (7-1, 5-1) the conference lead over William & Mary and Villanova, both 4-1. The Tribe defeated the Wildcats 31-18 on Saturday. Johnson's six touchdown passes broke a school record he shared with three other Dukes. Four of his touchdown passes came in a 28-point second quarter when the Dukes went out at front 35-14 at halftime. His sixth TD, a 31-yarder to Devin Ravenel late in the third quarter made it 45-14. Johnson finished 22 of 25 for 307 yards. Antwane Wells Jr. had two of the TD catches and finished with 114 yards on eight grabs for James Madison, ranked fifth in the FCS coaches poll. Bryson Daughtry had seven catches for a career-high 112 yards and a score for the Phoenix (4-4, 3-2). - James Madison/AP College Football

  Marco Siderman threw for a touchdown and ran for another in a five-minute span in the second quarter and Holy Cross beat Lehigh 31-12 on Saturday. Siderman threw a 36-yard score to Jalen Coker with 5:39 left in the first half to give the Crusaders (6-2. 3-0 Patriot League) a 7-3 lead. After Holy Cross' defense stuffed the Mountain Hawks with a three-and-out that generated no yards, Siderman led an 11-play, 63-yard drive that ended with his 1-yard scoring run with 47 seconds left before intermission. Following Tommy Lewis' blocked punt on the Crusaders' Patrick Haughney, Dante Perri threw a 9-yard score to Jalen Burbage to reduce Lehigh's deficit to 14-12. Matthew Sluka's 7-yard touchdown run with 13:52 left to play sealed it. Sluka finished with two rushing touchdowns. Perri threw for 137 yards and a touchdown. Lehigh (0-8, 0-3) has lost 15 straight. The Patriots' last win was in a 27-24 contest against Georgetown on Oct. 26, 2019. - AP College Football

  Matthew Sluka ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns, Peter Oliver added a career-high 153 yards rushing and a score, and Holy Cross beat Colgate 42-10 on Saturday night. Oliver scored on a 22-yard run to cap a six-play, 75-yard opening drive and after Colgate went three-and-out, Tyler Purdy ran up the middle and lunged over the goal line for a 4-yard touchdown to give Holy Cross (5-2, 3-0 Patriot League) a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Senior kicker Derek Ng attempted his first career pass late in the third quarter when he took a direct snap on a fake field goal and rolled out to his right before he hit Cullen Honohan with a 9-yard touchdown to make it 35-10. Colgate (2-6, 1-1) was limited to 170 total yards and committed four turnovers. Senior Grant Breneman completed 3 of 9 passes for 38 yards with an interception and freshman Michael Brescia - who has seen his playing time increase as the season endured - was 2-of-7 passing for 21 yards and threw two interceptions. Sluka was 7-of-12 passing for 62 yards with an interception and Marco Siderman, who shares time at quarterback, completed 7 of 11 for 42 yards for Holy Cross. - AP College Football

  Ethan Ratke kicked a school record five field goals to back a sturdy defense and James Madison smothered Delaware 22-10 on Saturday. Ratke had kicks of 30, 37 and 47 yards but the Dukes trailed 10-9 at the half. Ryan Coe had a 51-yard field goal for the Blue Hens and Zach Gwynn found James Collins for a 26-yard touchdown.

Radke's last field goal was 42 yards and was the 90th of his career. James Madison (6-1, 4-1 Colonial Athletic Association), ranked seventh in the FCS coaches poll, held the Blue Hens (3-4, 2-3), ranked 23rd, to 109 yards of total offense, 25 in the second half.

  Joe Green passed for one touchdown, Gabe Hollingsworth barreled for another on Friday night and Columbia, thanks to a pair of goal-line stands, threw a 19-0 wrench into Dartmouth's ride towards an undefeated season. Twice in the final seven minutes, Dartmouth advanced to a first-and-goal - at the 5 and at the 7 - only to be stymied on both drives. Derek Kyler's final pass of the game was batted down at the line of scrimmage by the Lions Will Allen. The Columbia defense handed Dartmouth a shutout for the first time in a decade (Oct. 8, 2011) and held Big Green 60 yards rushing.

The Lions win also tightened the Ivy League standings as Columbia (5-1) and Dartmouth (5-1) each stand at 2-1 in conference. The remaining unbeatens, Harvard and Princeton, face off on Saturday. On Columbia's first touchdown, Hollingsworth was hit by Dartmouth's Jalen Mackie - the Ivy's leading tackler - and wrapped up behind the line of scrimmage on a direct snap. Hollingsworth stayed on his feet and hauled Mackie to the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown as Columbia grabbed a 9-0 lead. Green, a transfer from San Diego State, completed 14 of 22 passes for 98 yards. He lofted a 25-yard rainbow to Mike Roussos in the end zone as the Lions extended the lead to 19-0. With less than seven minutes left to play, Dartmouth got to a first-and-goal at the 5-yard line but turned the ball over on downs after a Lions defensive stand stopped two runs and forced two incompletions. Dartmouth's Kyler was 24-of-45 passing for 194 yards with an interception. - AP College Football

  Ethan Ratke kicked a career-high four field goals and James Madison bounced back from its lone loss of the season with a 19-3 win over Richmond on Saturday. Cole Johnson hit Solomon Vanhorse over the middle on a short pass and the running back went untouched into the end zone for a 25-yard score and a 10-0 first-quarter lead. Ratke added a 32-yard field goal for a 13-0 lead. His other kicks came from 23, 24 and 26 yards. Jake Larson kicked a 40-yard field goal to get the Spiders (2-5, 0-4 Colonial Athletic Association) within 13-3 at halftime before Ratke added two more field goals in the third quarter for the final margin. Johnson finished 19-of-29 passing for 270 yards in leading the Dukes (6-1, 4-1), ranked seventh in the FCS coaches poll, to victory after a 28-27 loss to Villanova last week. Bruce Carter and Tony Thurston had two sacks each and James Madison six altogether. - AP College Football

  Cole Johnson threw three touchdown passes and Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey intercepted a pass with 1:45 to play as James Madison, the second-ranked FCS team, held off New Hampshire 23-21 on Saturday. The Dukes (4-0, 2-0 Colonial Athletic Association) led 17-7 at halftime as Johnson hit Reggie Brown for a touchdown in the closing seconds. However Randall Harris picked of Johnson in the opening minutes of the third quarter and returned it 18 yards for the Wildcats (3-2, 2-1). Then New Hampshire took the lead, 21-17, when Bret Edwards found Brian Espanet for an 8-yard score after the Dukes lost a fumble.

The James Madison defense took over from there and the Dukes finally put together a winning drive. Johnson's second TD pass to Kris Thornton capped a 12-play, 77-yard drive for a 23-21 lead with 8:20 to go. Johnson had 273 yards on 33-of-44 passing with Thornton catching 12 balls for 112. The Dukes had 432 yards of offense. After their last touchdown, the Wildcats had three punts but still had a chance to win despite just 162 yards of offense before the interception near mid-field. - James Madison/AP College Football

Griffin O'Connor threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns for Yale (0-1), which played for the first time since Nov. 23, 2019.
