  Jalen Hurts and Shea Patterson started for two Power 5 programs, Justin Herbert passed for 10,000-plus yards for another and Jordan Love became a highly rated prospect without playing for one. The Senior Bowl quarterbacks followed different paths to potential NFL careers, but they started this week on a more even playing field ahead of Saturday's game. All had to get familiar with new receivers and new, albeit vanilla, offenses. They had three practices and the game to separate themselves before the combine and private team visits.

None were more prolific passers in their careers than Herbert, who passed for 10,541 yards and 95 touchdowns in his career. Utah State's Love is also regarded as a potential first-round pick. He threw 20 touchdown passes last season but was intercepted 17 times, something he's going to have to clean up for the NFL. "Poor decisions by me trying to force the ball down the field too much and trying to do too much in certain situations," Love said. "Every interception for me, that's a learning moment. Obviously I had 17 learning moments last season." - AP College Football

  A judge on Thursday dismissed the marijuana possession charge filed against former Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Four USU athletes, including Love, were cited for the misdemeanor last month after Logan police responded to a complaint at a housing complex near the campus. They all received a spot drug test, which revealed marijuana was in their system. All four athletes were released at the scene. - Salt Lake Tribune

  Three football players with the Utah State University are being charged with possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Police responded to call near midnight on Saturday. The police had received a tip that some USU students were suspected of smoking marijuana. The smell of marijuana greeted the police on their arrival. Jordan A. Love, Sean Lewis Carter, and Gordon Maurice Bright were cited for possessing marijuana. Possession of a controlled substance of this type is a class B misdemeanor. A track and field athlete with USU, Elani Rice, was also arrested on the same charge.

Assistant Logan City Police Chief Jeff Simmons says officers did not find any drugs or drug paraphernalia at the scene. The police had probable cause, however, because of the smell of marijuana inside and outside. Officers asked suspects for consent to do a drug test. The suspects said no to the drug test, Simmons says. The police called a judge for a warrant. The warrant was issued and the suspects were drug tested on scene. The suspects tested positive for marijuana. The suspects were cited and released. - Fox 13 News, Salt Lake City
