  OCT 5 CONFERENCE USA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: WKU graduate QB Tyrrell Pigrome, a graduate transfer from Maryland, continued his efficient play at the quarterback position in the Hilltoppers' 20-17 win at longtime rival Middle Tennessee. The Birmingham, Alabama, native completed 21-of-36 attempts for 188 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 55 rushing yards. Pigrome's 21 completions tied a collegiate career-high, while he did not turn the ball over for the third-straight game in a WKU uniform. He is now one of just three quarterbacks in the nation to have at least six passing touchdowns and no interceptions this season, along with Clemson's Trevor Lawrence and Miami's D'Eriq King. - Conference USA Football

  Tyrrell Pigrome threw for two touchdowns and Western Kentucky held on for a 20-17 victory over Middle Tennessee on Saturday for the Hilltoppers' first victory. Pigrome threw an 11-yard pass to Joshua Simon in the left corner of the end zone for a 10-point lead with six minutes left in the game. Asher O'Hara threw a 2-yard TD pass to CJ Windham with just over two minutes remaining but an onside kick failed. O'Hara finished 23-of-33 passing for 217 yards and added 98 rushing yards on 25 carries, including a touchdown, for the Blue Raiders (0-4, 0-2 Conference USA). Pigrome was 21-of-36 passing for 188 yards and led the Hilltoppers (1-2, 1-0) in rushing with 55 yards. He threw a 6-yard score to Xavier Lane with 21 seconds left in the first half for a 10-10 tie. Brayden Narveson gave WKU the lead in the third quarter with a 53-yard field goal, third-longest in program history. - Western Kentucky/AP College Football

  The Blazers (1-1) have used two quarterbacks extensively through the first two games of the season and are now down to one after starting quarterback Tyler Johnston suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder while being ruled out for the foreseeable future. "Tyler Johnston III has suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder and is out indefinitely," Clark said in a prepared statement. "Tyler is one of the best competitors I have ever coached and I know he will take his rehab very seriously to give himself a chance to play again this season. Our entire UAB family stands behind Tyler and we wish him the best during his recovery."

Johnston, a Spanish Fort native that led the Toros to a 35-0 record and two AHSAA state titles, has been the starter for UAB since an injury to A.J. Erdely forced the former to assume the signal-caller duties late in the 2018 season. The redshirt junior missed four games last year with an MCL sprain on his left knee but has started 16 games in a career that includes 3,879 passing yards with 31 touchdowns and 25 interceptions and 618 rushing yards and five touchdowns. - Birmingham Post Herald

  Western Kentucky has announced its starting quarterback. After watching two weeks of practice and reviewing film from Saturday's first fall scrimmage, Tyrrell "Piggy T" Pigrome was named the Hilltoppers' starting quarterback leading into the Sept. 12 season opener at Louisville. "I think he's done a really good job of handling the offense. You've heard me say and (offensive coordinator Bryan) Ellis say a lot that part of playing the position is just managing the position, mastering the play, making sure everybody is in the right position," WKU head coach Tyson Helton said Wednesday in a Zoom conference. "You can tell he's an older guy - he does that. He seems to handle it pretty well. At the same time, he's still learning the offense. He'll have to progress as we go through the season, but he's doing a nice job of that."

Pigrome was the assumed frontrunner for the position because of his experience entering fall camp as a graduate transfer from Maryland. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound QB earned seven starts over his career for the Terrapins. Pigrome, the 2015 Gatorade Alabama Player of the Year, accumulated 2,407 total yards of offense in 34 games, and was recruited by now-WKU offensive coordinator Bryan Ellis out of Clay-Chalkville High School. Pigrome credited aggressive recruiting once he entered the transfer portal in February as a big reason he came to Bowling Green. "I think the maturity level's there, I think he's handled things - being the new guy, coming in, have to win the position - I felt like he's handled that pretty good with maturity, so we just felt like, right now, he's kind of the clear-cut starter," Helton said. "As you know, as we progress through the season, you never know what's going to happen, so we'll see. I'm just happy for him. I think he's done a nice job and looking forward to seeing him play in Louisville." - BG Daily News

  A first look at the tape suggests Tyrrell Pigrome as a running quarterback at Maryland. Sure, his legs are capable of bailing out a broken play, but it's the last thing he wants to do. Pigrome wants to prove himself as a pocket quarterback in his final season of college football. As the newest addition to Western Kentucky's roster as a graduate transfer, Pigrome will have that opportunity if he wins the open quarterback battle. "They run an offense around what they have to do and what I like to do," Pigrome told the Daily News in a phone interview Wednesday. "Just make me the best me. I can run and throw. People don't know that I want to sit in the pocket. I'm just going to show what I can do." WKU announced the addition of Pigrome over the weekend, bringing much-needed experience to a quarterback room that lacks it.

The Hilltoppers are down two quarterbacks from the 2019 roster with the graduation of Ty Storey, who was also a grad transfer, and Steven Duncan, who transferred to Tarleton State. Both were the only quarterbacks to play last fall, which leaves the future of the offense in the hands of the unproven. Pigrome completed 58 percent of his passes last season for the Terrapins against Big Ten defenses. WKU's offense last season under head coach Tyson Helton and offensive coordinator Bryan Ellis allowed Storey to lead Conference USA with a 70 percent completion rate with easy routes and a veteran offensive line. "I'm comfortable," Pigrome said. "We'll be able to show that as the season starts, I'll be able to do whatever they need me to do. That's the best situation I could be in. I have better opportunities." - BG Daily News

  Western Kentucky has a new quarterback. Former Maryland quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome is joining the Hilltoppers as a graduate transfer after starting seven games for the Terrapins over four years. A source has confirmed to the Daily News that Pigrome has signed documents to make the transfer official. Pigrome joins a quarterback room with redshirt junior Davis Shanley, redshirt sophomore Kevaris Thomas and incoming freshmen signees Grady Robison and Darius Ocean.

The Hilltoppers' starting quarterback position will be up for grabs until the last week of fall camp leading up to the home opener against UT-Chattanooga on Sept. 5, but Pigrome's resume and immediate eligibility makes him the assumed favorite. The 5-10, 209-pound quarterback nicknamed "Piggy" is the first Maryland quarterback to start a game in four different seasons since Vic Turyn in 1945-48. He entered the transfer portal on Feb. 6 and chose the Hilltoppers over Tulane and Temple. He started three games last year for Maryland, throwing for 719 yards on a 58.5 percent completion rate with three touchdowns while rushing for 153 yards and another two scores. - BG Daily News

  01/12/20 - Tom FlaccorSr/2020, Towson + More +

  Tom Flacco of Towson threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to help the National team beat the American 35-7 in the Tropical Bowl on Sunday at Spec Martin Stadium. Flacco is the brother of Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco. Dan Chisena of Penn State caught a 69-yarder from Flacco in the fourth quarter and a 55-yarder from Tulane's Justin McMillan (7 of 10 for 93 yards) in the second. The National team took a 21-0 lead on Flacco's 8-yard run with 1:04 remaining in the first half. Chisena had five catches for 155 yards.

Flacco's first touchdown pass went to another Baltimore-based player - Manasseh Bailey of Morgan State for 21 yards to cap off the National team's opening drive. Saif Kahn of Clarion scored the National team's other touchdown on a 10-yard fumble return in the third quarter. Jaylon Henderson of Boise State had the American team's only touchdown on a 12-yard quarterback keeper after leading a 16-play, 75-yard drive. He finished 10 of 17 for 87 yards. Dre Brown of Illinois led the National team with 31 yards on seven carries while Walter Fletcher of Ball State gained a team-high 37 yards on nine carries for the American team. Craig Rucker (23 yards) of Mars Hill and Jake Bofshever (12) of Long Island each had three catches for the National team. - AP College Football
