Running back Travis Dye of No. 11 Oregon recalled the bitter feeling after the Ducks lost at Washington State in 2018, and he didn't plan to experience it again Saturday night. Dye caught a pair of second-half touchdown passes and Oregon came back to beat Washington State 43-29. "I remember every little detail of 2018," Dye said. "It stuck in my mind ever since we left that field." He called Saturday's win "a thirst quencher." Tyler Shough threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns for Oregon. The Ducks improved to 2-0, piling up 582 yards of total offense.

Freshman Jayden de Laura threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State (1-1), which led at halftime but could not stop the Ducks in the second half. Freshman defensive back Ayden Hector recovered three Oregon turnovers in the first half. "We're looking like a real great offense right now," Dye said. "We are moving and grooving way better than we have in the past." Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said the touchdown Oregon scored in the closing seconds of the second quarter was key. It cut Washington State's halftime lead from 12 to five points. "Certainly a huge momentum swing," he said. "Guys went into the locker room with a lot of juice, a lot of energy." Shough played well, especially in the second half, Cristobal said. "He made some great plays and some great decisions. Great job with protections, used this feet to get out of stuff," Cristobal said. "Just showing tremendous maturity in just a second start, so big days ahead for Tyler." - AP College Football

11/14/20 - Shai Werts, rSr/2022, Louisville, 5-11, 205 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Shai Werts ran for three touchdowns and passed for another, Alex Raynor kicked four field goals and Georgia Southern held off Texas State 40-38 in a shootout on Saturday. The Eagles (6-2, 4-2 Sun Belt Conference) racked up 386 yards rushing as Werts (21 carries for 120) and Logan Wright (14-103) each topped 100 yards. Texas State (1-9, 1-5), despite being outgained 437-299 in total yards, put together back-to-back TDs to scrap into a 21-20 lead before halftime, then twice came within two points after halftime before falling.

The Bobcats' Tyler Vitt passed for 114 yards and a TD and Brady McBride passed for 155 more with two scores, including a late touchdown to Jah'marae Sheread that made it 40-38 with 2:50 left in the game. Georgia Southern ran out the clock by twice converting on third down. Matt LaRoche tore off a 27-yard run on a third-and-4 deep in his own territory. Werts pounded out five yards to convert a final first down to wind down the final seconds. - AP College Football

11/09/20 - Tyler Shough, rSr/2025, Louisville, 6-5, 219 (DS#5 QB) + More +

Quarterback Tyler Shough was handed the keys to Joe Moorhead's new offensive system on Saturday after playing behind Justin Herbert for two seasons. After a slow start, the redshirt sophomore settled in and made several big plays. Shough completed 17-of-26 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed for 85 yards with a 9-yard scoring run on 11 carries, which no doubt thrilled the fan base watching from home. A common criticism of the Oregon offense the last two seasons under former offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo was his failure to utilize Herbert as a runner. Shough's start was far from perfect, with an interception early in the second quarter. But he also completed long passes to Mycah Pittman (44 yards) and Johnny Johnson III (38 yards) and threaded a pass between three defenders to Jaylon Redd for a nice gain. - Register Guard

Tyler Shough picked up where Justin Herbert left off, throwing for 227 yards and a touchdown and running for another score to lead No. 12 Oregon to a 35-14 victory over short-handed Stanford on Saturday night in the opener for both teams. Stanford was hurt before game even kicked off when it was announced that starting quarterback Davis Mills was unavailable. Receiver Connor Wedington and defensive end Trey LaBounty were also listed as unavailable because of COVID-19 testing results and contact tracing protocols. Stanford did not specify whether the players had tested positive, but Wedington said on Twitter that he tested negative.

Shough completed 17 of 26 passes with one interception, and ran for 85 yards, as he assumed the starter's role now that Herbert has moved on to the NFL. With Herbert at quarterback, Oregon went 12-2 last season and won the Rose Bowl over Wisconsin. CJ Verdell ran for 105 yards and a score for Oregon, which won its 11th straight game at Autzen Stadium, the seventh longest active streak in the nation. Mills started in six games for the Cardinal last season, throwing for 1,960 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was replaced by backup Jack West, who made his first start. Stanford also used freshman Tanner McKee. - AP College Football

10/29/20 - Joey Gatewood, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 241 (DS#45 TE) + More +

Joey Gatewood is on the verge of getting his first chance at being a starting quarterback. The former Auburn QB is likely to get the start for Kentucky when the team faces Georgia on Saturday, according to sources. Terry Wilson, the Wildcats' starting quarterback in the team's first five games, is dealing with a throwing hand injury, hasn't taken part in Kentucky's first two practices of the week and it appears unlikely he'll play against Georgia, per sources. Gatewood, who left Auburn last October before later transferring to Kentucky, has appeared in three games thus far for the Wildcats as a backup quarterback. That includes some reps last week with Wilson struggling during Kentucky's loss to Missouri. The former top-50 recruit threw three passes and had a 12-yard completion. He also had three carries for six yards. - Birmingham News

UM coaches appreciated that striker Gilbert Frierson offered to play safety against Virginia after Amari Carter was ejected for targeting early in the game. UM took him up on the offer. "Gilbert, man he's just a student of the game," Baker said. "He sits at meeting and is obviously playing attention to everything. How prepared were we as a staff to put him there? He's played absolutely zero snaps at safety for us. He came up to us at halftime and said `Coach, I can do it.' He's smart, knows everybody on the defense, what their job is supposed to be. It's impressive." - Miami Herald

10/27/20 - *Javian Hawkins, rSo/2021, Louisville, 5-08, 183 (DS#12 RB) + More +

Javian Hawkins earned the nickname "PlayStation" when he played Pop Warner football as a kid in Brevard County. On Saturday, he hit the "o" button and gave the Louisville Cardinals a huge advantage in a 48-16 win over the Florida State Seminoles. Hawkins, who starred at Astronaut High and Cocoa High, scored two of his three touchdowns in the first quarter for Louisville as the Cardinals jumped out to a big lead. First, the sophomore tailback scored on a 9-yard run, helping U of L tie the game at 7. But it was his second run that gave the Cardinals huge momentum, and made the game's highlight reel. Starting right, Hawkins was bottled up, but he spun back and headed left, and his speed carried him the rest of the way for a 70-yard touchdown. Hawkins added a third touchdown in the third quarter - a 10-yard scoring run. Hawkins left the 100-yard mark behind in the second quarter. He now has 11 100-yard games in his young Louisville career, good enough for fourth in school history. He finished with 176 yards on 16 carries, averaging 10.8 yards per carry. - Courier Journal

Javian Hawkins ran for a season-best 174 yards and a career-high three touchdowns for Louisville, which snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday by beating Florida State 48-16. The Cardinals (2-4, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) took advantage of a yielding Seminoles defense to amass 410 yards of its 569 total yards in the first half. Five plays went for at least 35 yards in the half, helping the Cardinals take a 31-14 halftime lead. Jordan Travis, who transferred from Louisville two seasons ago, recovered his fumble after a botched handoff and ran it in 15 yards to give the Seminoles (2-4, 1-4) a 7-0 lead just 2:30 into the game. But Louisville responded quickly, needing just 2:01 to tie it on a 9-yard run by Hawkins, one of his 16 carries on the day.

That was the start of 28 straight points for Louisville, which never looked back. After the Cardinals defense forced a three-and-out on Florida State's ensuing drive, Hawkins gave Louisville the lead for good on a 70-yard scoring run on the Cardinals next play. Malik Cunningham completed 16 of 24 passes for 278 yards and two scores in the victory. Tutu Atwell caught three passes for 129 yards, including a 66-yard scoring strike from Cunningham, and added a 2-yard rushing touchdown. Despite racking up a season-best 265 yards rushing, the Seminoles offense could not match the Cardinals. Travis finished completing just 14-of-32 passes for 141 yards with a touchdown and an interception before being pulled midway through the fourth quarter. - Louisville/AP College Football

10/23/20 - Jack Plummer, rSr/2024, Louisville, 6-4, 215 (DS#18 QB) + More +

The "Cradle of Quarterbacks" is having a hard time picking one this season. Purdue is a school that has produced the likes of Drew Brees, Gary Danielson, Len Dawson, Jim Everett and Bob Griese - among many - but is looking for its next leader. Apparently a starter has been tabbed, but Brohm will not announce who it is until Saturday. Jack Plummer, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound sophomore, would seem to be the front-runner after completing 144 of 241 passes for 1,603 yards and 11 TDs last fall before getting injured. But Austin Burton and Aidan O'Connell also are in the mix. Plummer played against Iowa last fall, completing 30 of 50 passes for 327 yards and two TDs. - The Gazette

10/22/20 - *Javian Hawkins, rSo/2021, Louisville, 5-08, 183 (DS#12 RB) + More +

Louisville football left its loss to Notre Dame a bit banged up Saturday. Running back and kick returner Hassan Hall injured his shoulder in the 12-7 loss. He went down on a kick return attempt in the first half and did not return. Coach Scott Satterfield said he is listed as day-to-day. Also listed as day-to-day is defensive end Yaya Diaby. Diaby was seen limping off the field in the first half and did not return to the game. Neither Hall nor Diaby practiced on Sunday and will continue to be evaluated. The loss of Hall and Diaby could have an impact on the Cardinals against Florida State this Saturday. Hall is Louisville's backup running back, paired with starter Javian Hawkins. Hall has 111 yards on 26 carries and is averaging 5.5 yards per carry. Without Hall, Hawkins will carry the load again in the backfield. That isn't something new for Hawkins, who is fourth nationally with 519 rushing yards. Since taking over the lead role last season, he has had 20 or more attempts eight times, and his production hasn't faltered. He's capable of being a workhorse for Louisville. - Courier Journal

Louisville's offense was supposed to be one of the best in the ACC this year and the reason it was thought of as a contender. But against Notre Dame, in the biggest game on the season, it was the reason it lost, not the defense. The Cardinals tallied just 234 yards and outside of the first drive of the second half, never looked in sync. Wide receiver Tutu Atwell never truly got going with 40 yards in the game, and the offensive line couldn't create room for Hawkins to run consistently. Notre Dame had more than 36 minutes possession. It was so lopsided that Louisville ran just five plays in the first quarter and it took until the second half for Satterfield to get through his scripted first and second down play calls. "That tells you the few amount of plays we ran in the first half," Satterfield said. - Courier Journal

Shai Werts threw three touchdown passes and added a 4-yard touchdown run to help Georgia Southern beat Massachusetts 41-0 on Saturday. Werts was 11-of-16 passing for 128 yards with no interceptions and finished with 13 carries for 76 yards. On the fifth play from scrimmage, Werts hit Malik Murray for a 47-yard touchdown catch-and-run, then added TD passes of 8 and 10 yards to Beau Johnson that gave Georgia Southern (3-1) a 21-0 lead with 9:12 left in the first half. UMass (0-1) was limited to 191 total yards, converted just 2-of-13 third downs with four three-and-outs, and never moved past the Georgia Southern 21-yard line.

UMass announced the cancellation of its 2020 football season on Aug. 11 due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic but later reversed course and on Sept. 21 the school said it would play a limited number of games to be announced as they are scheduled and Saturday's contest against Georgia Southern is the only one currently on the slate for the Minutemen. Georgia Southern's 25,000-seat Allen E. Paulson Stadium was limited to a capacity of 6,200 due to concerns related to pandemic. - Georgia Southern/AP College Football
