Zion Turner passed for two touchdowns in his first start, Nathan Carter rushed for 123 yards and a score and UConn cruised past FCS member Central Connecticut 28-3 on Saturday for coach Jim Mora's first victory with the Huskies. In last week's 31-20 loss to Utah State, the freshman Turner came in after just 10 offensive plays after Ta'Quan Roberson left with a knee injury. Turner's first pass resulted in an interception. Things were difference against CCSU. Carter, who rushed for a career-high 190 yards last week, led the way on the ground as UConn (1-1) rushed for 274 yards and held CCSU to 242 total yards.

Brian Brewton had 10 of UConn's 54 carries and rushed for 62 yards, and Victor Rosa added his first career touchdown on the ground. Romelo Williams, who threw for 1,452 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, was 16-of-30 passing for 164 yards with an interception for CCSU (0-1), which is coming off a 4-7 season in 2021. Malik Thomas rushed for 63 yards on five carries and Kyren Petteway caught six passes for 61 yards. Mora, the former NFL and UCLA coach is trying to rebuild a program that didn't play football in 2020 because of the pandemic, went 1-11 a year ago and have won just four games since the end of the 2017 season. - Connecticut/AP College Football

Marshall running back Rasheen Ali will be away from the Thundering Herd indefinitely as he deals with an unidentified issue. Ali earned first-team All-Conference USA and Freshman All-America honors after leading the nation in rushing touchdowns as a freshman. Ali ranked among the top running backs in the country during his breakout redshirt freshman season. He carried the ball 250 times for 1,401 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns, both marks that finished top 10 nationally. Ali was expected to be a dark horse All-America candidate in 2022.

"As soon as he is mentally, physically and emotionally ready to return, he will be back," Marshall coach Charles Huff said in a statement. "Our team and staff are doing a great job of supporting him and we are looking forward to getting him back soon. We do not have an anticipated return date at this time. When we do, we will let everyone know. Out of privacy and respect for Rasheen and his family, we will not comment further on this topic until he is back with us." - CBSSports.com

Marshall running back Rasheen Ali, one of the nation's top freshman rushers last season, is taking a leave of absence for undisclosed reasons, coach Charles Huff said Tuesday. Ali's exit comes less than two weeks before Marshall opens the season Sept. 3 at home against Norfolk State of the Football Championship Subdivision. Ali rushed for 1,401 yards and 23 touchdowns last season and was expected to be a big part of the offense again as Marshall enters its first season in the Sun Belt Conference. No timetable was given for Ali's return. - AP College Football

08/18/22 - Henry Colombi, rSr/2023, Marshall, 6-2, 228 (DS#44 QB) + More +

By this point in his college football career, Henry Colombi has learned to adjust to his surroundings. Now in his sixth fall camp as a college quarterback, and playing at his third school in the same time period, "new" isn't exactly new for the most experienced quarterback on Marshall's roster. "You can clearly see he's got a veteran presence. Nothing rattles him, nothing gets him off-kilter," Marshall head coach Charles Huff said. "He's been through a college camp before, and even though it's not this one, you kind of know the routine." As a freshman, Colombi had to adjust to college football in general. After three years at Utah State, he then had to reorient himself when he transferred to Texas Tech. So when he made the decision to transfer to Marshall, he knew, at least in a general sense, what to expect as he settled in with new teammates and coaches around him. - Charleston Gazette

Everybody knows who Rasheen Ali is. After rushing for 1,401 yards and scoring 23 touchdowns in 2021 and making one award watch list after another during the 2022 preseason, Marshall University's star redshirt sophomore is increasingly well known. What people don't realize, however, is who that person actually is underneath the No. 22 jersey. Want to know? Get ready for a surprise, because Ali is one of the most thoughtful, introspective and self-aware athletes anyone ever will encounter. Ask him, for example, about all the watch lists and preseason honors Ali already has received in 2022. "It feels good, honestly, just knowing the work I've put in," said Ali. "It's not just me. I'm putting the work in with my teammates, my brothers. The work that we all put in - the offensive line - just trusting everybody. "It feels good just knowing that we all did it as a unit because I couldn't do it without them. So, it's really important that I just keep implementing it and just keep pushing each other each and every day. "I feel good about the honors, but I know at the end of the day that I couldn't get it without them, so I'm just super-appreciative of them."

Yet the key to Ali's success on the field is what he does off the field. It is called affirmations. "Affirmations is really just speaking stuff into existence, writing stuff down," explained Ali. "I'm always taking notes and just jot down how I felt that day and what I want to work on that day, how I want to feel tomorrow...I just really write about my day. "I really have a whole vision board and everything. It's hard to explain, but I have a vision board with all the goals I have. I did it last year and last year I missed. I had every goal except some money that I wanted to invest. I hit every goal but that. "I really just try to speak stuff into existence because your worry and your thoughts are your power. So, really just thinking about it and affirming it and really just owning what I believe in is really just a big impact on what I do." - Charleston Gazette

08/10/22 - Koby Cumberlander, rSr/2023, Marshall, 6-2, 235 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

For the final time in his college football career, Marshall defensive lineman Koby Cumberlander walked into the room to meet with media prior to the start of preseason camp, boasting an ear-to-ear smile as he walked to the podium. "Can't believe it's the last one," said the sixth-year senior. "I've been very blessed to spend my time in Huntington where the people are absolutely amazing. It's a place I'll cherish forever. I'm just ready to get out there with the boys one last time." The school at which he has spent the past five years really was never on his list of preferred destinations. The Roswell, Georgia, native originally wished to play in a town far north of where he landed. "I never would have imagined being in Huntington ever in my life," Cumberlander said. "I had plans of playing in Michigan, going to Michigan State, but I'm glad I chose the right choice of coming here because the people here are amazing."

He redshirted in 2017, and with each year that passed he found himself on the field more often than the last and enters his final year as one of the key pillars of the Thundering Herd defense. "It's been a wild journey but it's been fun. Very, very fun," Cumberlander said. "From the past coaches and even the coaches now, I appreciate everything they've done." It means something to the coaching staff, too. "Koby could have walked away and went about his life. He could have chased the NFL but he chose to come back," Marshall coach Charles Huff said. "I think that says a lot about his love for this place, his teammates and his love for what he does." - Charleston Gazette

07/28/22 - Verdis Brown, rSr/2024, Marshall, 6-3, 345 (DS#999 DT) + More +

Verdis Brown flipped back to defensive line ahead of the season after spending 2020 and 2019 on the offensive line. Brown as a guard, of course, came after he arrived at Illinois as ... a defensive lineman. Brown played in eight games last fall, filling a backup role behind Roderick Perry II and Calvin Avery at what was generally one defensive tackle spot in coordinator Ryan Walters' defense. The Chicago native finished his first full season on the defensive line with four tackles in his limited playing time.

There's a Perry-sized hole to fill in the Illinois defensive line. Perry didn't have outlandish counting stats (26 tackles, including two for loss, in 11 games), but that's not the primary purpose for a nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. Disruption was Perry's strength, and he had the ability to cause havoc. That's what Brown has to show he's capable of doing, too, to secure more substantial playing time in his fourth season. - News Gazette Tribune
