  Frank Gore Jr. threw two touchdowns on four completions and Southern Mississippi beat Louisiana Tech 35-19 on Friday night. Gore was one of three players at quarterback that totaled 110 passing yards as the Golden Eagles (2-9, 1-6 Conference USA) dumped Louisiana Tech (3-8, 2-5) in its last home game of the year. Though listed as a running back, Gore was 4-of-8 passing for 75 yards with a pick and ran for a score. His TD passes - the first of his career - of 9 and 39 yards to Jason Brownlee contributed to a 21-9 halftime lead. Trey Baldwin's 43-yard fumble recovery for a score brought the Bulldogs within 21-19 with 11:58 left, but Antavious Willis threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Grayson Gunter a little more than five minutes later for 28-19 Southern Miss lead. Willis, a redshirt freshman defensive back, was 3-for-3 passing for 32 yards. Dajon Richard ran for 120 yards on 22 carries for Southern Miss. Marcus Williams Jr. ran for 88 yards on 17 carries for Louisiana Tech. - Southern Mississippi/AP College Football

  Virginia Tech defensive tackle DaShawn Crawford has entered the transfer portal. Crawford took advantage of the extra year of eligibility the NCAA granted all fall student-athletes to come back for the 2021 season as a sixth-year senior. He played a limited role for the Hokies last season thanks to a knee injury. He only played 84 snaps in eight games and had four tackles (1.5 for a loss). He tried to play through the injury in the opener and suffered a setback that forced him to sit out the team's next two games. Crawford was healthy for spring camp, but had fallen back on the depth chart with the first-team defense expected to feature a rotation of Norell Pollard, Mario Kendricks and Clemson transfer Jordan Williams. - Roanoke Times

  Former Southern Miss wide receiver Tim Jones signed a free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars after going undrafted in last week's NFL Draft. A 6-foot-1, 203-pound pass catcher from Biloxi, Jones was a key cog in Southern Miss' passing attack over the last three seasons. He caught 145 passes for 1,890 yards and eight touchdowns since 2018, ranking second on the Golden Eagles all three seasons. Injuries limited Jones in 2020 after a breakout start to his final season, where he had 30 receptions for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games. - Hattiesburg American
