  10/16/21 - Dante Miller, rSr/2024, South Carolina, 5-09, 190 (DS#52 RB) + More +

  Dante Miller rushed for a career-high 187 yards on 16 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown, and Columbia beat Pennsylvania 23-14 on Saturday for the 400th victory in program history. Most of the offense came at the end of the second quarter with each team scoring two touchdowns in the final 4:10 of the first half. Wills Meyer had his first career touchdown on a catch-and-run of 41 yards for a 17-7 Columbia lead. Joe Green passed for 182 yards and a score for Columbia (4-1, 1-1 Ivy League). Scott Valentas led the defense with 12 tackles and Paul Akere had two tackles for loss and a sack. Alex Felkins capped a six-play, 49-yard drive on a 20-yard field goal with 2:53 remaining in the fourth for a two-possession lead. John Quinnelly completed just 6-of-25 passes for 83 yards for Pennsylvania (2-3, 0-2). Isaiah Malcome rushed for 83 yards and a score on 13 carries. - AP College Football

  Spencer Rattler was the man heading into the season. Now he might not even be the starter. The Oklahoma quarterback had everything going for himself two months ago. He was a preseason Associated Press first-team All-American who was at the forefront of Heisman Trophy conversations. He was among the most visible players taking advantage of NCAA rules changes that now allow athletes to cash in on their celebrity. Caleb Williams replaced him last Saturday and rallied the Sooners to a 55-48 win over Texas. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley wouldn't say how he will play his quarterbacks heading into the fourth-ranked Sooners' game against TCU (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) on Saturday.

He said he's not a fan of two-quarterback systems, but wouldn't rule anything out that he thought would help the team. "I don't plan on naming a starting quarterback this week," Riley said. "We'll see how the week plays out and we'll see where we are when we get to Saturday. The guys have done well. They practiced well today. We'll see how it goes. We'll see Saturday at 6:30." Oklahoma is handling the situation delicately. Rattler normally talks with reporters on Wednesday, but Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0) canceled its weekly Zoom sessions. - AP College Football

  10/03/21 - Parker White, rSr/2022, South Carolina, 6-4, 207 (DS#5 K) + More +

  South Carolina's offensive consternation still isn't cured. The Gamecocks have scored one rushing touchdown in five games. But as long as the Gamecocks' defense can pick up the slack, as they did with their third touchdown of the year against Troy, they can continue to work on it without feeling too bad. David Spaulding returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown, Parker White kicked three field goals and South Carolina overcame several mistakes in the second half to hold off the Trojans 23-14 on Saturday.

White booted a 37-yard field goal in the fourth quarter with just over two minutes left to make it a two-possession lead and Damani Staley intercepted Taylor Powell with less than 30 seconds to play. "I don't know about you guys, I feel like I aged about 40 years during that game," said South Carolina coach Shane Beamer, who saw his Gamecocks score one defensive TD and should have scored another. "We talk about playing smart football. We didn't do a great job of that today." The Gamecocks (3-2) led 17-7 at halftime after Spaulding's return. Yet the Trojans (2-3) wouldn't go away and South Carolina's inability to take advantage of its numerous chances to score helped Troy stay in it. - South Carolina/AP College Football

  Spencer Rattler threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns, Oklahoma had two crucial calls overturned in its favor after video reviews, and the sixth-ranked Sooners recovered an onside kick with just over a minute left to hold off Kansas State 37-31 on Saturday. Kennedy Brooks added 91 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Jeremiah Hall reached the end zone twice, as the Sooners (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) overcame a slew of penalties on their offensive line to beat the Wildcats for the first time in three tries. Skylar Thompson returned from a knee injury to throw for 320 yards and three scores for the Wildcats (3-2, 0-2). Deuce Vaughn had 51 yards rushing to go with 10 catches for 104 yards and a score, and Malik Knowles returned a kick 93 yards for a touchdown with 1:20 remaining for the final margin.

Earlier in the second half, the Sooners twice had to sweat out video reviews. The first came when Kansas State recovered an onside kick trailing 27-10 in the third quarter, and referee Kevin Hassell went to confirm the ball traveled 10 yards. It did, but the Sooners challenged the play again, contending kicker Ty Zentner had accidentally kicked the ball twice - which he also did. The illegal touching gave Oklahoma the ball. The second review came after the Wildcats got the ball back trailing 27-17 in the fourth. Landry Weber was ruled to have caught a pass converting fourth down, but the ball had clearly hit the ground and another play was overturned. Hall scored his second TD on a shovel pass a few minutes later to help Oklahoma put away the game. - Oklahoma/AP College Football

  09/22/21 - Luke Doty, rSr/2026, South Carolina, 6-1, 215 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  South Carolina sophomore Luke Doty will get his first start of the season at quarterback. Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer said Tuesday that Doty would get the call at home against Kentucky on Saturday night. Doty hurt his foot in practice last month and missed the first two games of the season. However, he entered early in a 40-13 loss at No. 2 Georgia when starter Zeb Noland was hurt. Beamer said Doty had no lingering effects from the injury. Doty was on track to start for South Carolina (2-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) before his injury. Noland is the one-time graduate assistant who joined the team when Doty got hurt this summer. Noland started the first three games of the season, but left early against Georgia when his hand got stepped on. Beamer expected Noland would also be ready to go against Kentucky (3-0, 1-0) if called on. - AP College Football

  Spencer Rattler passed for a touchdown and ran for another, and No. 3 Oklahoma held on to beat Nebraska 23-16 on Saturday. Celebrating the 50-year anniversary of the "Game of the Century" - No. 1 Nebraska's 35-31 win over No. 2 Oklahoma in 1971, the teams rewarded their nostalgic fans with a competitive contest. In the first meeting between the former conference rivals since 2010, Nebraska got the ball trailing by a touchdown with 57 seconds remaining and no timeouts. The Cornhuskers could not manage a first down. Eric Gray ran for 84 yards on 15 carries and Kennedy Brooks added 75 yards on 14 attempts for the Sooners (3-0). Adrian Martinez passed for 289 yards and a touchdown for Nebraska (2-2), which was seeking its first win over a ranked team since 2015. - Oklahoma Football/AP College Football

  Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler and his teammates felt the pressure after barely beating Tulane in the season opener. The Sooners stewed for a week, then took out their frustration on Western Carolina. Rattler threw five touchdown passes, and No. 4 Oklahoma rolled past the Catamounts 76-0 on Saturday night. "When we got in the facility on Monday, even on Sunday, the vibe was uncomfortable," Rattler said. "We knew what we had to do. We were challenged this past week and came out here today and executed our plays, went through the reads, played hard for four quarters. And that was our big thing - four quarters and finish. We did well with that." Oklahoma matched its fifth-highest point total in school history and posted its highest score since 2007. It was the program's third-largest margin of victory, behind 77-0 wins over Missouri in 1986 and Texas A&M in 2003.

The Sooners led 62-0 after three quarters, and the fourth quarter was shortened to 12 minutes. Rattler completed 20 of 26 passes for 243 yards before resting in the second half of Oklahoma's 10th straight victory. He joined Jason White as the only Sooners to pass for five touchdowns in a half. He threw two interceptions against Tulane, but took a step forward on Saturday. "I think he was just more patient," Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said. "Really, just a mindset to just go execute and really never got off of that, and that's what the best ones do. They can get in that kind of high level of focus and be able to maintain it, and he was much better there today." - Oklahoma/AP College Football

  09/11/21 - Parker White, rSr/2022, South Carolina, 6-4, 207 (DS#5 K) + More +

  The turnovers and penalties kept coming to put South Carolina in a 14-point hole. An aggressive defense, a stick-with-it running game and a clutch kick kept the Gamecocks from stumbling. Parker White knocked through a 36-yard field goal as time expired as South Carolina rallied to beat East Carolina 20-17 on Saturday, earning its first road win under first-year coach Shane Beamer. Damani Staley had a 63-yard interception return for a touchdown just before halftime to give the Gamecocks a needed spark after trailing 14-0 in a mistake-filled opening half. Former graduate assistant Zeb Noland also had a game-tying touchdown pass to Dakereon Joyner in the back of the end zone late in the third quarter.

It was the perfect outcome for Beamer: resilient enough for a win, with plenty of obvious deficiencies to improve. "I just told the team in there I don't think I've ever been more proud of a football team than that group right there," Beamer said, adding: "Having said that, we've got to get a whole lot better." In the end, the Gamecocks (2-0) did enough to give themselves a shot, then rode the legs of Juju McDowell – who gained 45 yards on six carries on South Carolina's final 10-play drive – to set up White's winner that had the Gamecocks spilling onto the field from the sideline to celebrate. - South Carolina/AP College Football

  09/07/21 - *Kevin Harris, Jr/2022, South Carolina, 5-10, 222 (DS#41 RB) + More +

  Kevin Harris is finally healthy enough to play college football again after his breakthrough season as one of the Southeastern Conference's top rushers. Harris finished with 1,138 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns, leading the SEC with 113.8 yards a game last season. His touchdowns were second only in the league to Alabama's Najee Harris. The 5-foot-10, 220-pound Gamecock was eager to keep that going this year. However, back surgery to correct what he and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer called a "minor procedure" led Harris to miss all of spring camp and much of the summer. Harris will play for the Gamecocks (1-0) at East Carolina (0-1) on Saturday.

The tailback "looked good out there" for Tuesday's practice, Beamer said. "He'll help. It's another back in the room." Harris was much more than just another back in the room last season; he was the brightest spot in an offense that was 10th in the SEC in both total yards and points. He had five games with 100 yards or more last season, incuding a season high 243 against Mississippi and 210 against Kentucky. Harris became only the third South Carolina runner — Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers and Marcus Lattimore are the others — with multiple 200-yard rushing games. "I'm feeling pretty good," said Harris, who usually keeps his comments brief. "I want to do better than I did last year." - AP College Football

  Oklahoma nearly took its hospitality too far. The Sooners' game against Tulane was relocated from New Orleans because of Hurricane Ida, and Oklahoma's athletic department and fans went all out to make their guests feel at home. Oklahoma had the Green Wave painted on the 25-yard lines, and Sooners fans cheered when Tulane's players ran into the field before the game. The Sooners then nearly let the Green Wave claim their first win over a Top 10 opponent since 1973.

Spencer Rattler passed for 304 yards and a touchdown and No. 2 Oklahoma, playing a road game on its home field, narrowly avoided a shocking upset by holding on for a 40-35 victory over Tulane on Saturday. "That was one of the hardest hitting teams, one of the most physical teams I've played," Rattler said. "They came out there, and they played great, better than us, for sure. They wanted to win more than us. You could tell it. We have to be cleaner, sharper, and have to be better." The Sooners, who led 40-22 early in the fourth quarter, gave up a pair of late touchdowns. Tulane had fourth-and-13 just short of midfield with just under two minutes to go when quarterback Michael Pratt ran for only 12 yards and the Green Wave turned the ball over on downs. The Sooners ran out the clock. Oklahoma led 37-14 at halftime. - Oklahoma/AP College Football

  Christian Beal-Smith ran for two touchdowns while Ja'Sir Taylor scored on a 99-yard kickoff return to help Wake Forest beat Old Dominion 42-10 in Friday night's season opener for both teams. It marked the Monarchs' return to the field after not playing last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Beal-Smith ran untouched around the left end and sprinted down the sideline for a 48-yard touchdown in the first quarter to get the Demon Deacons on the board. Then, after the Monarchs managed a field goal, Taylor came through with his huge return that squashed any fleeting momentum for ODU. The cornerback broke through an arm-tackle attempt and stayed on his feet through a stumble around the 20-yard line, then kicked into gear and down the sideline for the 99-yard score and a 14-3 lead. - Wake Forest/AP College Football

  09/01/21 - Zeb Noland, rSr/2022, South Carolina, 6-2, 232 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  Former Iowa State quarterback Zeb Noland has landed another starting job - this time at the University of South Carolina. Noland was named the starting quarterback for the Gamecocks' game Saturday against Eastern Illinois. Noland was a graduate assistant offensive coach as recently as three weeks ago, the Greenville (S.C.) News reported. Noland, a Georgia native, started five games during his Cyclones career, including four in 2018. Noland began 2018 as Iowa State's backup quarterback but took over the starting spot when Kyle Kempt was hurt in the season opener.

After struggling, Noland was replaced as starter by Brock Purdy, who was a freshman then. Purdy has gone on to throw 62 touchdowns and for nearly 9,000 yards. Noland left Iowa State in the middle of the 2018 season and later transferred to North Dakota State. This past spring, Noland started seven games for the North Dakota State, leading the offense with 740 yards passing with five touchdowns and six interceptions. - Des Moines Register

  Spencer Rattler has never shied away from dreaming big. "I've been setting goals since I can remember," the OU quarterback said. "I just got off the phone with my quarterback coach a while ago. … We've been talking about national championships, Heismans, since I was 8 years old. To be pretty close to it, and going for that goal, is something we've got to check off the box. "I've checked off a lot of boxes (and) I'm excited to see what boxes I can check off, hopefully." Rattler enters the 2021 season, which the Sooners start at 11 a.m. Saturday against Tulane in New Orleans, as the Heisman Trophy favorite and he's a big reason why OU is a national championship contender.

He's become one of the faces of college football, one of its most marketable personalities in a year where - with the NCAA's new Name, Image, and Likeness rules - being marketable as a college player means more than it ever has. Rattler was one of the first college athletes on Cameo, a site that allows fans to buy personalized videos from celebrities, and for awhile was the most expensive. As of Saturday morning, Cameos from Rattler started at $179. Among college athletes on the site, only Texas running back Bijan Robinson, at $189, draws more. In late July, just before Sooners preseason camp opened, Rattler became the first college athlete to sign autographs at a major memorabilia convention when he appeared at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago. An autograph from Rattler cost $150, photos with him another $150 and inscriptions were $60. - Daily Oklahoman
