  Georgia Southern quarterback Shai Werts, the starter the past four seasons including as the Most Valuable Player of the New Orleans Bowl in the 2020 season finale, announced on his Twitter account on Thursday that he is entering the transfer portal. Werts was shown on social media after this season working out as a wide receiver with a personal coach. Werts, a 5-foot-11, 205-pound redshirt senior from Clinton, S.C., wrote that he will use the extra year of eligibility the NCAA granted because of the coronavirus pandemic to play a fifth season in sixth years of college instead of declaring for the NFL draft.

Werts is the Sun Belt Conference's all-time leader among quarterbacks for rushing yards and is tied as Georgia Southern's career leader in touchdown passes. He was an honorable mention selection in each season that he played (2017-20) and SBC Academic Honor Roll for 2016-17 through 2018-19. - Savannah Morning News

  Malik Cunningham threw for 195 yards and accounted for three scores for Louisville, which blitzed past Wake Forest 45-21 Saturday. The Cardinals (4-7, 3-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame a sluggish start to rally for a victory in their regular-season finale. After gaining just 7 yards in the first quarter, they finished with 453. Louisville gained 254 of those on the ground. Cunningham completed 73% (16-for-22) of his passes. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. He went without an interception for the first time in five games. The Demon Deacons (4-4, 3-4) amassed 351, but they couldn't stay on the field as they converted just seven of 18 on third down. Louisville, meanwhile, converted seven of 14 third downs and held the ball for 36:56. Both teams were missing key receivers. Louisville's Tutu Atwell announced during the week he would miss the contest, while Donavon Green did not dress for the Demon Deacons. In addition, the Cardinals were without three starting offensive linemen. That led to the Cardinals starting their fourth-string center and three freshmen on the line. - Louisville/AP College Football

  Is Tyler Shough still Oregon's starting quarterback? Coach Mario Cristobal didn't waste a lot of time with the question, which was posed during his Zoom meeting with the media on Monday. "We assess everyone on a weekly basis," Cristobal said. "but he's our starting quarterback." Of course he is. In Shough's first five career starts, he has completed 91-of-143 passes (63.6%) for a Pac-12-leading 1,389 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 221-pound redshirt sophomore also has rushed for 256 yards and two touchdowns.

But some costly mistakes in consecutive defeats at Oregon State (two interceptions) and California (lost fumble) have some critics wondering what Boston College transfer Anthony Brown or touted true freshman Jay Butterfield might look like taking the snaps. Shough and his teammates aren't flinching as the Ducks (3-2) prepare to host Washington Huskies on Saturday at Autzen Stadium (1 p.m., FOX) for the North Division title. "We're all behind (number) 12," senior tight end Hunter Kampmoyer said of Shough. "We all make mistakes through the course of the game. He's done a great job of being a leader, accepting those things and moving forward. There's nothing you can do about the last play, it's all about the next play. He's done a great job, and we've all been behind him 100 percent." - Register Guard
