Drew Henderson's 19-yard field goal as time expired in the half was the first score of the game. The Bulldogs offense came alive early in the second half with touchdowns on back-to-back drives. Omiri Wiggins found open space on a checkdown and scored a 17-yard receiving touchdown, and Clay Thevenin ran it in from 2 yards out just four minutes later.

Bulldogs quarterback Trey Kukuk completed 14 of his 19 passing attempts for 130 yards and one touchdown, and added 48 yards rushing on 17 attempts.

  Odieu Hiliare and Abdul-Fatai Ibrahim put up impressive numbers together at Alabama A&M. The two wide receivers want to do the same thing at Bowling Green State University. Hiliare and Ibrahim, Florida natives who excelled together for three seasons at the Football Championship Subdivision school, have reunited in northwest Ohio. Ibrahim transferred to BGSU in mid-January, around one year after Hiliare joined the Falcons. "When we first came to A&M, met in the 2019 summer, we told each other we're going to start something together and we're going to finish it together," Ibrahim said. "We started at A&M, and we're going to finish at Bowling Green." Hiliare and Ibrahim both have one season of eligibility remaining. The duo will be aiming to recreate the magic when they combined for nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns the last time they played together in 2021. - Toledo Blade

  Former Baylor running back Craig "Sqwirl" Williams announced that he's transferring to Louisiana Tech after recently entering the transfer portal. Williams arrived at Baylor in 2018 and redshirted that season before injuries derailed him much of the next three seasons. However, he delivered a strong season as a fifth-year junior in 2022 as he rushed for 557 yards and four touchdowns. He enjoyed his best game against Oklahoma in Norman as he rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns to lead Baylor to a 38-35 win. - Waco Tribune Herald

  The transfer portal gives and it takes. The Marshall football team has already gotten commitments from a handful of transfers who entered the portal in the past year, but has now lost 12 players from the 2022 roster who have made the decision to separate from the Herd. Shadeed Ahmed, a wide receiver who caught 60 passes for 651 yards and four touchdowns in three seasons at Marshall, officially announced his decision to enter the transfer portal Sunday afternoon, marking the 12th transfer Charles Huff has seen exit the program since the end of the 2022 regular season.

Ahmed followed in the footsteps of eleven former teammates, including quarterback Peter Zamora, offensive lineman Jack Murphy, defensive backs Jaydyn Johnson, Demarco Gibson and Hagan Stephenson, linebackers Dan Foster and James Smyre, defensive linemen Emmanuel Balogun, Immanuel Bush and Sherman Hatton and kicker Kenyon Bowyer. Of those transfers, seven have already found new homes, including three that transferred to teams within the Sun Belt. - Charleston Gazette

  Baylor running back Craig "Sqwirl" Williams announced Friday that he's entering the transfer portal. Williams arrived at Baylor in 2018 and redshirted that season before injuries derailed him much of the next three seasons. However, he delivered a strong season as a fifth-year junior in 2022 as he rushed for 557 yards and four touchdowns. He enjoyed his best game against Oklahoma in Norman as he rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns to lead Baylor to a 38-35 win. Even without Williams, Baylor will be stocked at running back in 2023 with freshman All-American Richard Reese returning along with Qualan Jones, Oklahoma State transfer Dominic Richardson, incoming Franklin star Bryson Washington and others. - Waco Tribune
