Damien Martinez ran for a career-high 178 yards and three touchdowns, and Oregon State's defense turned in another strong performance Saturday night in a 42-9 victory over Colorado. The Beavers (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) have won three straight games and are bowl eligible for the second year in a row after ending a seven-year bowl hiatus last season. Colorado (1-6, 1-3 Pac-12), playing its second game under interim head coach Mike Sanford, was unable to build off the momentum of last week's overtime victory against California. Oregon State extended a 21-3 halftime lead to 28-3 on a 60-yard touchdown pass from Ben Gulbranson to tight end Jack Velling on the opening drive of the third quarter.

On Colorado's first offensive play of the second half, J.T. Shrout's pass intended for tight end Brady Russell was intercepted by cornerback Alex Austin and returned 42 yards for a touchdown. The pick 6 gave the Beavers a 35-3 advantage. The Buffaloes finally scored a touchdown on Jayle Stacks' 1-yard run late in the third quarter to culminate an 80-yard drive. Martinez, who was a workhorse with 22 carries, opened the scoring with a 4-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. - Oregon State/AP College Football

10/20/22 - Javion Cohen, Sr/2024, Miami, 6-4, 324 (DS#11 OG) + More +

The issue of mental health remains front and center within college football and one Alabama starter isn't afraid to discuss it. Offensive guard Javion Cohen over the summer was open about his visit to a rehabilitation center for what he called "mental health reasons" and he spoke more about it Wednesday. Making his first appearance this fall in the interview room, Cohen was asked about opening up about his journey. "It was wonderful," Cohen said. "It wasn't difficult that much because of the support system I had around me. I want to give a lot of props to Coach Saban and the entire staff that have supported me and allowed me to take that time off for my health. That was wonderful." Back in July, Cohen posted on Instagram about the month he spent at a Herren Wellness facility in July.

While sharing photos of the facility and the books he read, Cohen's caption began discussing "the pressure we feel as athletes is insurmountable and can be too much at times." Cohen was the second Alabama offensive lineman who spent time at Herren Wellness as freshmen Dayne Shor also posted about his struggles. Shor later transferred to UConn. Cohen, a junior from Phenix City, returned to Tuscaloosa and has started six of the seven games this season at left guard. There's no stigma surrounding mental health for Cohen. "It wasn't difficult at all sharing because I believe that's something that we all should pay attention to in our day-to-day lives," Cohen said. "It's important to pay attention to your mental health and put that first." - Birmingham News

10/20/22 - Tyler Harrell, rSr/2024, Miami, 6-0, 193 (DS#55 WR) + More +

Among the five Power 5 transfers Alabama landed, all but one have appeared in game action to date. The only who has yet to see the field is Tyler Harrell, a receiver who came from Louisville over the summer. So what's the latest on the speedy senior? Nick Saban was asked about his status on Wednesday's SEC media teleconference. "Yeah, he's been practicing and he actually was available for the last game," Saban said. "He's getting more and more reps, more and more comfortable with what he's doing. And there's the possibility he's getting to the point where we can get to use him some." Saban on Aug. 24 said Harrell was dealing with a sprained foot that limited his reps but was starting to see more practice time leading up to the season opener.

Harrell didn't dress for the first few games. "Look I'm not giving specific details on everybody's injuries but he was out," Saban said when asked Wednesday if the foot injury sidelined him the first seven games. "So what makes the difference?" Harrell was listed on the travel roster for the first time at Tennessee but didn't appear in the game. He warmed up before the Sept. 24 home date with Vanderbilt but didn't make the trip a week later to Arkansas. - Birmingham News

10/01/22 - Cam Ward, rSr/2025, Miami, 6-2, 219 (DS#1 QB) + More +

Cameron Ward threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns as Washington State beat California 28-9 on Saturday, despite Ward being intercepted twice in the end zone. Renard Bell caught eight passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for Washington State (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12), which played four of its first five games at home. Jack Plummer completed 23 of 33 passes for 273 yards for California (3-2, 1-1), which was coming off a big win over Arizona. Both teams scored over 40 points last weekend, but points were scarce for most of this game. After a scoreless first quarter, Washington State got a 34-yard punt return by Robert Ferrel, coupled with a personal foul on the Bears, to start a drive on the Cal 20-yard line. Jaylen Jenkins ran the ball in from the 2 for a 7-0 lead.

Cal drove to the WSU 24, but had to settle for a 42-yard field goal by Dario Longhetto to pull within 7-3. On WSU's next drive, Ward was intercepted in the end zone by Cal safety Daniel Scott. The Golden Bears advanced to midfield, but Plummer was sacked on consecutive plays and they had to punt. Washington State kept the 7-3 lead at halftime in a defensive battle, with each team barely topping 100 yards of offense. Washington State had the first drive of the second half, and Ward quickly connected with Bell on a 47-yard completion to the Cal 17. Ferrel caught a 17-yard touchdown pass barely a minute into the half for a 14-3 lead. Cal went three-and-out, and Washington State advanced to the Bears' 21-yard line. But a scrambling Ward was intercepted in the end zone again, this time by Craig Woodson, to kill the drive. - Washington State/AP College Football

Cameron Ward threw for 292 yards and four touchdowns Saturday as Washington State pounded Colorado State 38-7. Washington State (3-0) scored on its first four possessions to put this game away early. Ward completed 26 of 36 passes and was intercepted once. Donovan Ollie and De'Zhaun Stribling each caught two touchdown passes. Freshman quarterback Clay Millen completed 24 of 34 passes for 211 yards for Colorado State (0-3), which has lost eight consecutive games dating to last season. Washington State sacked Millen seven times and limited Colorado State to 37 rushing yards on 30 carries.

The Cougars marched 46 yards in four plays on their first possession, with Ward throwing a 17-yard touchdown pass to Ollie for a 7-0 lead. The Cougars took over at midfield again on their second series and Ward fired a 13-yard touchdown pass to Stribling for a 14-0 lead just five minutes into the game. Cayden Camper missed a 44-yard field-goal attempt for Colorado State and WSU marched 73 yards, with Ward hitting Stribling for a 19-yard touchdown and a 21-0 lead with more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter. Ward found Ollie for a 2-yard touchdown pass to cap an 82-yard drive that gave WSU to a 28-0 lead at halftime. Washington State went into the locker room with a 255-82 advantage in yards gained, along with four sacks and eight tackles for loss. Colorado State rushed 18 times in the first half, for just 4 net yards. - Washington State/AP College Football

During his appearance on the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday, Nick Saban provided an update on injured receiver Tyler Harrell, stating the Louisville transfer is still dealing with a sprained foot and will not be available for Saturday's 3 p.m. CT kickoff against Louisiana Monroe inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. "He has not been able to practice this week," Saban said. "He will not play in this game. He's kind of day-to-day with this foot [injury] that he has. Hopefully, he'll be back sometime soon." Harrell has yet to make his Alabama debut since joining the team this offseason.

He was seen in a walking boot before the season opener against Utah State on Sept. 3 and did not make the trip to Texas with the team last weekend. Harrell led Louisville averaging 29.06 yards per catch last season, pulling in 18 receptions for 523 yards and a team-high six touchdowns. According to Louisville Report, Cardinals head coach Scott Satterfield said the 6-foot, 194-pound receiver recorded a hand-timed 4.19 time in the 40-yard dash last offseason. - Rivals Alabama

It certainly got a little misty in the end zone early in the third quarter in Oregon's resounding 70-14 victory against Eastern Washington. Cam McCormick, the Ducks' seventh-year tight end who has been beset by injuries since 2018, scored his first touchdown in six years by ramrodding his way into the end zone following a 2-yard catch on a pass from quarterback Bo Nix. And he did it while wearing the No. 18 jersey that once belonged to teammate Spencer Webb, who died in July during an outing at Triangle Lake. "This night is one that I'll always remember," McCormick said. "It was an unreal moment." - Register Guard
