LSU running back Tyrion Davis-Price and the Tiger's offensive line apparently have figured something out. That could improve LSU's prospects for the balance of what has been a turbulent season. Davis-Price rushed for an LSU-record 287 yards and three touchdowns, and the Tigers' banged-up defense came up with four interceptions in a 49-42 victory over No. 20 Florida on Saturday. First-year offensive coordinator Jake Peetz "challenged us the last few weeks to go in and create a running game," Davis-Price said, alluding to earlier struggles that had LSU ranked 127th nationally in rushing entering this weekend. "The offensive line has been busting their tails with extra work and I couldn't be more proud of them. I love doing work for them. "There were big holes for me to run through; they deserve all the credit in the world," he added.

The stirring performance produced thunderous roars from a less-than-capacity Death Valley crowd that came in with low expectations after unranked LSU (4-3, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) had dropped its previous two games against Auburn and Kentucky, fueling speculation that coach Ed Orgeron's hold on his job was tenuous at best. "I'm not going to blink until the day I die; but our team didn't blink today," Orgeron said. "Our backs are against the wall, but we took a big step." After Damone Clark's interception of Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson, Davis-Price literally and fittingly ran out the final 1:59 on Florida (4-3, 2-3). He ran for two more first downs and broke the previous LSU single-game rushing record of 285 yards by Derrius Guice. Max Johnson passed for 133 yards and three touchdowns - all to Jaray Jenkins. The last one came on fourth and goal with 3:30 left. - LSU/AP College Football

Arizona State's 28-10 win over Stanford marked the Sun Devils' fifth straight win by double digits in a Pac-12 game.

With wins by margins of 63, 13, 22, 19 and 18, ASU is outscoring Pac-12 opponents by an average of 27 points dating to the 70-7 win over Arizona last season. - AP College Football

Jayden Daniels passed for 286 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Ricky Pearsall, and Arizona State used big plays to defeat No. 20 UCLA 42-23 Saturday night. The Sun Devils (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12) were forced to punt on their first drive before scoring on their next five to take control of the game and likely the Pac-12's South Division. The Bruins fall to 3-2, 1-1. Rachaad White rushed for two TDs, including a 49-yard score early in the third quarter to extend Arizona State's lead to 32-23.

The Sun Devils led by one at halftime before the senior spun out of an attempted tackle by Qwuantrezz Knight, changed direction and then went up the left sideline before avoiding a diving Alex Johnson at the 5 and then lunging over the pylon. The Sun Devils were then successful on the 2-point conversion on DeaMonte Trayanum's run. Daniels completed 13 of 18 passes, with four going for 47 or more yards. Two of them were touchdowns to Pearsall in the second quarter - a 65-yard yard screen that tied it at 14 followed by a 54-yard reception where the junior beat Elisha Guidry in coverage to give Arizona State a 24-20 lead. Pearsall finished with 132 yards on four catches. - Arizona State/AP College Football

When Penn State hired Mike Yurcich to be its new offensive coordinator, the team's backs and receivers were ecstatic. They knew there likely would be a lot of opportunities for all of them to make plays. The No. 11 Nittany Lions' 44-13 win against Ball State on Saturday was the showcase they had in mind. Sean Clifford completed 21 of 29 passes for 230 yards, ran for a touchdown and threw for another on an afternoon that saw seven different players contribute scoring plays and 14 more touch the ball for an offense that rang up 493 total yards. "That's going to be a common theme," Clifford said with a grin. "The more guys that get touches the better, especially early in the year." Running back Noah Cain added a rushing touchdown and wide receiver Jahan Dotson added another, linebacker Jesse Luketa returned an interception 16 yards for a touchdown, and Jordan Stout kicked three field goals for the Nittany Lions (2-0).

Backup quarterback Ta-Quan Roberson added a 23-yard touchdown pass to Theo Johnson to cap Penn State's sixth straight win dating to last season. "I just thought this week on first and second down, offensively we were more effective," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "I just thought we were more balanced. We were more efficient." Penn State scored on four of five first-half possessions, led 24-6 at halftime, and played suffocating defense. It was the kind of start the Nittany Lions wanted, especially as they welcomed back nearly 106,000 fans to Beaver Stadium for the first time since 2019. - Penn State/AP College Football

Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels exited Thursday's game against Southern Utah with what the broadcast confirmed as cramps. The Sun Devils led 34-7 with 4:51 remaining in the third quarter when Jayden Daniels fell to the ground. Daniels was 10-of-12 for 132 yards passing before exiting the game. He also added six carries for 40 yards on the ground. He returned to the sideline and appeared to be ok with his helmet on his head but did not return in the game as the Sun Devils held a 27-point lead when he went to the locker room. Daniels was replaced by backup quarterback and redshirt sophomore Trenton Bourguet. Bourguet has attempted two passes in his career prior to Thursday's game, completing one for 24 yards. Bourguet finished by completing 3 of 5 passes for 32 yards. - ArizonaSports.com

A tradition born in 2003, synonymous with success both on and off the field, has its newest member on the 2021 LSU football team. LSU place kicker Avery Atkins, who has served as the team's kickoff specialist since 2018, will don the No. 18 jersey for the Tigers during the 2021 campaign. From Auburn, Alabama to home in Baton Rouge. Atkins is the school's all-time leader in kickoffs (270), kickoff yards (16.991) and touchbacks (227). The Auburn, Alabama, native is a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and received his undergraduate degree this May in kinesiology. He will join linebacker Damone Clark in wearing the No. 18. No. 18 at LSU means more than just a number. It's given to the player who displays a selfless attitude and, the program says, epitomizes what being an LSU football player means. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Freshman wide receiver Malik Nabers won't play during LSU's season opener against UCLA this weekend and may miss multiple games, coach Ed Orgeron said. Nabers, who was expected to contribute after impressing throughout preseason camp, hasn't practiced this week because of a shoulder injury, according to a source. "Malik will not be able to play," Orgeron said Wednesday morning on the Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference. "I don't know if Malik will play until a couple games into the season. He's definitely going to be out for UCLA." Nabers broke out during his first preseason, drawing praise from Orgeron and fellow players in the midst of a crowded wide receiver room. The Tigers had eight other receivers vying for playing time alongside Kayshon Boutte. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Arizona State's defense created turnovers, the offense churned out touchdowns on the ground. Everything else? Still needs some work. Darien Butler had two interceptions and No. 25 Arizona State used its punishing run game to overcome some sloppy moments in a season-opening 41-14 win over Southern Utah on Thursday night. "That's bad football. Bad. I'm a bad coach," Arizona State coach Herm Edwards said. "That's bad football and we've got to fix that. If we're going to win games, games we want to try to win, you can't do that."

The Sun Devils were a bit rusty to start a season of high expectations, committing numerous miscues on special teams and 13 penalties for 135 yards. Arizona State still proved to be too much for the FCS Thunderbirds (0-2), forcing four turnovers and running for six touchdowns to win its 22nd straight home opener. Rachaad White and DeaMonte Trayanum each ran for two scores. "I told them we've got to clean this up," said Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels, who threw for 132 yards before leaving in the third quarter with leg cramps. "We're a better team than Southern Utah, but at the end of the day if we play Washington or USC, those things can hurt us." - AP College Football/Utah Football

09/02/21 - Joe Foucha, rSr/2023, LSU, 5-10, 198 (DS#37 SS) + More +

University of Arkansas safety Joe Foucha was voted as a captain along with quarterback KJ Jefferson, offensive tackle Myron Cunningham, linebacker Grant Morgan and safety Jalen Catalon by teammates Friday. Coach Sam Pittman announced the captains after Saturday's short mock game, and Foucha earned a hearty response from his teammates. "This will make my fourth year here," Foucha said Tuesday. "I've been here since 2018, and I've had a lot of ups and downs but I've overcome them. "It was a blessing for my teammates to select me as a captain. I feel like I earned the right for them to, and it just shows how much respect the guys on the team have for me."

Fellow captains Cunningham and Morgan talked up Foucha's role and leadership. "Joe brings a lot to the team," Cunningham said. "He brings energy, excitement. He's always jumping around and talking. He definitely brings that leadership factor. I'm personally very glad he got voted to be a captain this year." Added Morgan, "Whenever Joe first got here, he was wild and always on the ball. He was running around and always finding the ball. We were sitting there saying, "That is the little Honey Badger." "Like that's what I watched growing up was [LSU's] Tyrann Mathieu. So when we saw Joe, a kid from Louisiana, coming up here and getting the ball out of every single play, we were like, "This kid is special. This kid's going to do something good here." - Northwest Arkansas Times

08/24/21 - *Derek Stingley Jr., Jr/2022, LSU, 6-0, 188 (DS#2 CB) + More +

LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. remains out with an undisclosed injury, but when asked about the junior All-American's status Wednesday night, coach Ed Orgeron maintained confidence Stingley will play in the season opener against UCLA. "Derek's doing fine," Orgeron said. "I think we're going to lay off of him next week. The week after, he should be fine." Stingley has missed the majority of preseason camp and didn't play in the team's scrimmage last Saturday. Orgeron thought at one point Stingley might return to practice this week, but LSU has kept him out as a precaution. LSU has a little over two weeks before its first game Sept. 4. "I think he's going to be 100% there [against UCLA]," Orgeron said, "and we won't have to worry about re-aggravating it." - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/24/21 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

As LSU quarterback Myles Brennan recovers from a broken left arm, coach Ed Orgeron said he was told Brennan can return "sometime this season," but the exact date hasn't been determined. "I don't want to say nothing prematurely," Orgeron said. "He's just getting over the pain." Brennan tripped and broke his humerus while preparing for a fishing trip five days before LSU opened preseason practice Aug. 6, his father said. Brennan quickly underwent surgery. LSU hasn't released a timeline for his recovery.

Orgeron said Wednesday night the fifth-year senior may start throwing in a month and will wear pads again as soon as possible, but Orgeron doesn't want Brennan to rush his recovery. His arm will have to withstand hits. "I'm not in a hurry," Orgeron said. "I'm not going to rush him. I want him to be ready. I was told he can come back sometime this season, as early as mid-season, as late as the open date (Oct. 30), or Alabama (the week after), somewhere around there. None of that's definite, now." - Baton Rouge Advocate
