  Cory Fields threw for four touchdowns, three to Shaquan Davis, to lead South Carolina State to a stunning 31-10 victory over Jackson State in the Celebration Bowl on Saturday in a game considered to be the national championship of historically Black colleges and universities. It marks the first time the Bulldogs (7-5) has topped the HBCUs since 2009. Jackson State (11-2) hasn't won the title since 1996. The game was dominated by defenses, as South Carolina State limited Jackson State to just 194 yards of total offense, a record for the Celebration Bowl, which began in 2015.

The Bulldogs scored their first three touchdowns shortly after turnovers by Jackson State (11-2) gave South Carolina State the ball in the red zone, at the Jackson State 5-, 16-, and 19-yard lines. Those three turnovers were by freshman quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of head coach Deion Sanders. He threw two interceptions, one of which glanced off the hands of a receiver, and lost a fumble when sacked. South Carolina State, champions of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, entered the game in Mercedes Benz Stadium as underdogs. Jackson State had rolled into the contest with just one loss, but the champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference never got going. - South Carolina State/AP College Football

  Kendrell Flowers is the other Wake Forest scholarship football player who has opted out of the coming season for concerns related to COVID-19. Flowers is the scholarship player mentioned by Coach Dave Clawson last week as having already opted out. "We're hoping that those guys will rejoin us in January or when the pandemic is over," Clawson said last week, referring to Flowers and two walk-ons whose identities aren't known. Earlier this week, star wide receiver Sage Surratt announced he was opting out because of uncertainty about COVID-19 and that he's preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft. Flowers played in two games last season, retaining his redshirt. The bulk of his action came in Wake Forest's 52-3 loss at Clemson, when Flowers had a team-high 27 yards on nine carries. - Winston Salem Journal
