Anthony Colandrea passed for 203 yards and three touchdowns as UNLV held off a UCLA rally to win 30-23 on Saturday night for the Rebels' first victory over a Big Ten Conference opponent in 22 years. The Rebels (3-0) last beat a Big Ten team when they won 23-5 at No. 14 Wisconsin on Sept. 13, 2003. "We're trying to build this program to be one of the best programs on the West Coast," UNLV coach Dan Mullen said. "I think that was a huge win for us. That's a talented football team we played, and we found a way to win."

Colandrea was sharp in completing 15 of 21 passes, and he also rushed for 59 yards. He was particularly effective in the first half, passing for 171 yards and two TDs. "I feel like tonight we executed at a really high level in the first half," Colandrea said. "In the second half, I was getting out of the pocket too early. But at the end of the day, we got the win. That was the biggest deal." Nico Iamaleava was 29 of 41 for 255 yards passing with a touchdown and interception for UCLA (0-2). UNLV built a 23-0 lead with 1:49 left in the first half. UCLA managed to get on the scoreboard just before the break with a short field goal, but the Bruins were still outgained 250 yards to 110. - UNLV/AP College Football

Virginia transfer Anthony Colandrea threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third in his debut at UNLV and the Rebels beat Sam Houston State, 38-21, in the first meeting between the schools on Friday night in Houston. The game was played at Shell Energy Stadium, home of the Houston Dynamo of the MLS. Problems with the stadium's game clock forced officials to keep time on the field, soccer-style. UNLV coach Dan Mullen joked after the game that it might have been easier to put 45 minutes on the clock and whistle when extra time was used up. Colandrea, who set the freshman passing record at Virginia, got the Rebels on the board with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Jaden Bradley to cap a five-play, 68-yard opening drive, and after the Bearkats even the score on Hunter Watson's six-yard run four minutes later, put UNLV (2-0) in front for good with a three-yard toss to DeAngelo Irvin Jr. for a 14-7 lead after a quarter and they rolled to a 31-7 advantage after three.

Landan Brown broke free for a 53-yard touchdown for Sam Houston to start the fourth quarter, and after Colandrea ran 13 yards for a UNLV touchdown, Mabry Mettauer connected with Tim Burns Jr. for a 59-yard touchdown. The Bearkats recovered an on-sides kick but were unable to score. Colandrea completed 19 of 23 passes for 249 yards and threw an interception. He carried six times for 23 yards. Bradley finished with six catches for 125 yards. Sam Houston (0-2) finished with 332 yards of offense, with 112 yards coming on two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Watson finished 11 of 22 for 101 yards and Mettauer was 8 of 13 for 86. UNLV returns home to play host to UCLA Saturday. - UNLV/AP College Football

Virginia quarterback Anthony Colandrea threw for 297 yards and 2 touchdowns in a dominant 34-13 victory Saturday night over the University of Richmond in the season opener for both teams. The Cavaliers looked like they learned their lesson from last year's home-opening loss to James Madison. In that game, Virginia appeared to have the game in hand, but a weather delay shifted the momentum and led to a Dukes victory. Saturday night's game went into a weather delay late in the second quarter, with Virginia leading 20-7. When play resumed 2 hours and 17 minutes later, Virginia quickly scored a touchdown, and kept its foot on the gas through the third quarter before turning to clock-running mode.

Colandrea was given the fourth quarter off. Richmond's offensive line struggled to get any traction against the bigger, stronger UVA defenders. The Spiders kept the winner of their quarterback competition under wraps until game time, when sophomore Kyle Wickersham ran out to take the first snaps. He made a 5-yard scramble for the team's lone touchdown, but managed just 110 yards passing. Virginia will test itself against Wake Forest and Maryland in the next two weeks, and Colandrea showed growth that will be encouraging to the team's fanbase. He did not turn the ball over, and ran out of bounds or slid instead of exposing himself to big hits. - AP College Football

02/07/23 - Anthony Grant, rSr/2024, Nebraska, 5-11, 221 (DS#93 RB) + More +

In an offseason that featured roster overhaul at just about every position, Nebraska's running backs remain mostly unchanged heading into 2023. All four of Nebraska's top running backs from last year - Anthony Grant, Ajay Allen, Rahmir Johnson and Gabe Ervin Jr. - are back for another season. Running backs coach EJ Barthel has already gotten to work identifying the strengths in his room. Barthel called Grant a "powerful runner," while Allen is "dynamic" and Johnson has "elite speed." Their collective talents led Nebraska to add talent at other positions, with incoming freshman Kwinten Ives being the only scholarship addition at running back.

"The transfer portal wasn't something I was really interested into, or that Coach Rhule wasn't interested into," Barthel said on Jan. 12. "After evaluating the tape and looking at some of the guys on the roster, I'm just really excited about the group. There's a lot of potential out there in how they run the football." Grant was Nebraska's most consistent running back in 2022, handling double-digit carries in all 12 games. However, the success of those carries was highly variable - Grant totaled 600 of his 915 rushing yards in the first six games of the season before struggling against the Big Ten's best run defenses. - Lincoln Journal Star

01/18/23 - MJ Sherman, rSr/2025, Nebraska, 6-2, 247 (DS#49 OLB) + More +

Nebraska picked up a major piece out of the transfer portal Monday as former five-star edge rushing prospect MJ Sherman committed to the Huskers. Sherman, who visited Lincoln over the weekend, was a three-year contributor with Georgia and a key special teams cog on two national title squads. The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder was a top-50 national player in the 2020 cycle who turned down the likes of Alabama and Ohio State as a blue-chip recruit. He has two years of eligibility remaining plus a potential redshirt.

Sherman's mother, Sussie Sharpe, confirmed her son's decision on social media. "Husker Nation, it's official!" she wrote. "Team Sherman is coming home!" Sherman played high school football in the Washington D.C. area and grew up in Baltimore. He entered the portal last Friday in what was considered a surprise move at the time. The linebacker saw just 140 defensive snaps across three seasons and 39 games, getting far more action on special teams. His relatively limited role and stat line - 15 career tackles - is more a product of Georgia's embarrassment of elite talent rather than his own struggles. - Lincoln Journal Star
