  SEPT 19 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: MATT CORRAL, OLE MISS, Junior, Quarterback, Ventura, CA/Long Beach Poly,...Matt Corral earns Offensive Player of Week honors for the second straight week after accounting for seven touchdowns (3 passing, 4 rushing) in the 17th-ranked Rebels'61-21 victory over Tulane. Corral completed 23-of-31 passes for 335 yards and rushed for 68 more.

  Freshman quarterback Jaxson Dart came off the bench to throw four touchdown passes as Southern California rebounded from last weekend's tough loss to Stanford, and the subsequent firing of coach Clay Helton, with a 45-14 victory over Washington State on Saturday. Dart replaced an injured Kedon Slovis on the second series of the game. He completed 30 of 46 passes for 391 yards, with two interceptions, as Southern California (2-1, 1-1 Pac-12) won in its first game under interim coach Donte Williams, the first Black head coach in program history. "I'm super fortunate to be around a group of guys and coaches who show a ton of resiliency and confidence in one another," Dart said. "And like coach said, our main goal, and we're going to face some adversity, but we have to go 1-0, and win that moment." Dart was surprised to find himself playing early in the game. "I think those moments always hit you when you are least expecting it," Dart said. "It was the first drive and we were just starting to get something going and I was just super excited, even though I felt terrible for Kedon." Drake London caught 13 passes for 170 yards for the Trojans. - Southern California/AP College Football

  Matt Corral was not going to let an extended weather delay spoil his night. The Mississippi quarterback shrugged off the nearly two-hour pause and posted a record-setting performance. "We had the best week of practice that we've had since I've been here," Corral said. "It showed tonight. The weather wasn't going to stop us." Corral accounted for a school-record seven touchdowns in less than three quarters as No. 17 Mississippi defeated Tulane 61-21 Saturday night. Corral ran for four touchdowns – 9, 15, 15 and 6 yards – and passed for three scores, finishing 23 of 32 for 355 yards. Corral had touchdown passes of 12, 50 and 45 yards to Dontario Drummond, Jonathan Mingo and Braylon Sanders, respectively.

Corral was lifted after directing three scoring drives early in the third quarter to build a 61-21 lead, capped by his final two touchdown runs. The Rebels finished with 707 yards of total offense, 403 by Corral, on a pace to merit consideration in the Heisman Trophy race. "The numbers really don't mean much to me. Not really," Corral said. "But I think they mean something to him (Coach Lane Kiffin) and I think he wants it more for me than I do. I'm just happy we played so well." The Rebels (3-0) responded to the weather delay efficiently, scoring on six of the seven opening possessions, including touchdown runs of 19 and 11 yards by Henry Parish Jr. and Drummond. Jerrion Ealy led the Ole Miss rushers with 15 carries for 103 yards. "This is a really good win," Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin said. "Tulane is a really good team and I think they'll do really good things the rest of the way, but we played well." - Mississippi Football/AP College Football

  SEPT 13 CAA FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Antwane Wells, Jr., R-Fr., WR, James Madison (Richmond, Va./Highland Springs),...Wells made eight receptions for 179 yards and two touchdowns in James Madison's 55-7 conference win over Maine. The redshirt freshman caught scoring passes of 73 and 51 yards in the second quarter to put the Dukes ahead 24-0. The 179 yards are the fourth-most by any receiver in FCS this season and the total was just 13 yards shy of the JMU single-game program record. - Colonial Athletic Association Football

  SEPT 13 BIG 12 OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Zach Evans, TCU, RB, So.,...Evans set a career-high with 190 yards rushing, becoming the first Horned Frog to eclipse 190 yards or more since Sewo Olonilua's 194 yards in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl. He scored on a 51-yard touchdown run just before the end of the first half, which changed the momentum of the game and helped TCU erase a pair of 12-point deficits to pull out the 34-32 win over California. The sophomore had a rushing touchdown for the fourth straight game, the first TCU player to do so since Olonilua's four straight in 2019. Evans also had a 14-yard reception giving him 200-plus all-purpose yards on the afternoon. - Big 12 Football

  SEPT 12 WALTER CAMP FOOTBALL NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: MATT CORRAL, OLE MISS, Junior, Quarterback, Ventura, CA/Long Beach Poly,...In two games in a five-day span this week, Matt Corral completed 43-of-65 passes for 662 yards and six touchdowns (with no interceptions) as 20th-ranked Ole Miss defeated Louisville, 43-24, and Austin Peay, 54-17. Corral passed for 381 yards against Louisville on Monday and had five touchdown passes in the win over Austin Peay on Saturday. Notes: It is the second time Corral has earned Walter Camp Offensive Player of Week honors (Nov. 1, 2020). Corral is also the third Ole Miss player to earn Player of Week honors since 2004. - Walter Camp Football Foundation

  Mississippi quarterback Matt Corral insists he does not play favorites when it comes to picking receivers. "I really don't. I go through my progressions and make my reads," Corral said after throwing for five touchdowns - four in the first half - as No. 20 Mississippi routed FCS member Austin Peay 54-17 on Saturday night. "There's really not a favorite. We've got receivers that can make plays...It's hard for the defense to figure out who to take away." Ole Miss (2-0) added a defensive touchdown on a strip sack and 33-yard fumble return from defensive end Sam Williams and a safety from the special teams to build a 37-0 second quarter lead over the Governors (1-1) of the Ohio Valley Conference. "We were coming off a short week with the Monday win with Louisville," Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said. "For one full day of practice and coming off a physical game, I thought our starters played pretty good." Corral finished 21 of 33 for 281 yards and had two other potential touchdown passes dropped during a lopsided first half.

Corral guided two series in the third quarter, building a 51-10 lead on a 3-yard run by Snoop Conner, before yielding to three reserves in the final 25 minutes. "The fast start was important," Corral said. "It's a lot of little things that if you do them right, they compound into big things, like touchdowns. We've still got some things to clean up but we got the job done." Dontario Drummond and Jonathan Mingo had two touchdown receptions apiece, covering 1, 49, 15 and 40 yards, respectively. Braylon Sanders added an 11-yard touchdown reception before Caden Costa closed the scoring with a 26-yard field goal. The Rebels finished with 631 yards of total offense. - Mississippi/AP College Football

  ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit only sees one path Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral can take to winning the Heisman Trophy. The Tipico Sportsbook and USA TODAY Sports list Corral as having the seventh-best odds to win the Heisman Trophy this fall. But Herbstreit, who will be the color commentator for Ole Miss' season opener against Louisville on Monday, doesn't see that happening unless the No. 25 Rebels vault into College Football Playoff contention. "It's impossible. It's virtually impossible," Herbstreit said. "Please don't make the title 'Herbstreit says impossible for Corral to win Heisman.' I'm just going by facts. It's not very often a guy on a 7-5 team wins the Heisman or an 8-4 team wins the Heisman." Don't get Herbstreit wrong. He's high on Corral.

He spoke with him earlier this week. He said he loves Corral's competitive spirit, loves the way Corral plays and loves watching Corral play. He said he'd rank Corral's trio of top receiving targets among the best in the country, not just the SEC, and thinks that trio coupled with Corral and Ole Miss' quartet of talented running backs means the Rebels are in store for a "monster year." But Herbstreit is basing this on facts. Ten of the last 13 Heisman winners have played on teams that made the College Football Playoff or BCS Championship. No player from a team that won fewer than nine games has won the Heisman since Notre Dame receiver Tim Brown in 1987. - The Clarion Ledger

  TCU running back Zach Evans will likely be on the bench when the offense takes the field to start the 2021 season against Duquesne on Saturday night. Coach Gary Patterson said Evans is not expected to play the first two offensive series of the game after violating team policy. Patterson did not expand on what rule(s) Evans broke. Patterson said Evans has handled himself well since arriving on campus last year as the program's highest-rated recruit, earning a 3.75 GPA his first year and being named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. But rules are rules. - Fort Worth Star

  08/28/21 - Spencer SandersrSr/2024, Mississippi, 6-1, 209 (DS#32 QB) + More +

  Mike Gundy has said many times while working with young quarterbacks at Oklahoma State that it takes a few years of starting experience before the athlete truly grasps the concepts of college football. And with 20 games now under his belt, Spencer Sanders is approaching that level for the Cowboys. And according to his head coach, the Denton, Texas, product has already shown signs of doing just that this offseason. "We've been very impressed and excited about Spencer's development. My personal opinion is last year the spring ball that he missed and summer conditioning because of COVID set him back," Gundy said. "And I feel like in the two months that we watched him over spring ball, he's developed more than he has in two years. "So, we'll find out once the season starts. There's never been a question with his toughness, his commitment and his competitive nature." His competitive nature is something Gundy has worked to harness over the past few years.

At times in the past, Sanders would turn his passion to compete into compounding mistakes - driven by trying make up for a previous mistake, only leading to another. That was most evident in his first season as the starting signal caller when he turned the ball over five times in a loss at Texas Tech. But it's finding that balance between making a play to help the team vs. making a play that hurts the team. "He makes plays out here," Gundy said. "The defense makes plays against him, too, which is good. So I just feel like he's in a good spot. Is he gonna make mistakes? Sure he is. Sometimes, will he fire one to the wrong team? Sure he will, just like Mason (Rudolph) did." - Stillwater Press

  Just one year ago, Jaxson Dart was barely a blip on USC's radar. The young Utah quarterback had no Power Five offers. His profile didn't even appear on all the major recruiting sites. It would take a senior-season transfer, a pandemic-altered high school campaign, and a meteoric rise to Gatorade national player of the year for Dart to arrive at this moment, with coach Clay Helton making official Thursday what so many around USC had expected since the freshman's standout spring. Dart will be USC's backup quarterback behind Kedon Slovis this season, while Miller Moss, a fellow four-star freshman, will occupy the No. 3 spot.

Slovis remains the unquestioned starter under center. The significance of the selection at backup quarterback extends beyond this season, with Dart now presumed to be at the center of USC's future plans at the position and Moss - for now, at least - on the outside looking in. Dart has certainly looked the part of heir apparent since his arrival in April. As the competition between the two freshmen played out through August, Helton said Dart rose to the occasion during live repetitions and scrimmage situations. - Los Angeles Times

  Five Ole Miss and Mississippi State football players were named to the preseason All-SEC team by the league's coaches Tuesday, four of which representing the Rebels and one representing the Bulldogs. Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral was tabbed first-team all-conference and Rebels running back Jerrion Ealy was picked as a first-team all-purpose player and return specialist. Ealy also earned third-team honors as a running back.

Mississippi State offensive lineman Charles Cross and Ole Miss punter Mac Brown were second-team selections. Ole Miss offensive lineman Nick Broeker rounds out the list with a third-team selection. Alabama led with 15 All-SEC selections, seven on the first team. Mississippi State was one of three schools without a first-team All-SEC selection, alongside Vanderbilt and Missouri. - The Clarion Ledger
