  Hank Bachmeier came off the bench to throw for three touchdowns in his Wake Forest debut and Taylor Morin returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown and picked up 100 receiving yards as the Demon Deacons pulled away to beat North Carolina A&T 45-13 in Thursday night's season opener. Running back Demond Claiborne rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown to help Wake Forest win its fourth straight season opener. Bachmeier, a former starter for Boise State and Louisiana Tech, finished 18-of-28 for 263 yards. Michael Kern drew the starting assignment at quarterback for Wake Forest, a decision revealed at game time.

Kenji Christian scored a touchdown and ran for 121 yards for the Aggies. N.C. A&T quarterback Kevin White was 10-of-16 for 116 yards. Andrew Brown hit two field goals, including a 51-yarder in the fourth quarter. Wake Forest took the lead for good with five minutes to play in the first half when Donavan Greene turned a short reception into a 24-yard touchdown play by breaking through N.C. A&T defenders. Matthew Dennis' 31-yard field goal on the last snap of the half extended the edge to 17-10. - AP College Football

  Hugh Freeze's arrival on the Plains brought loads of questions, and many of the on-the-field wonders came from one spot: the quarterback room. Would Auburn dip into the transfer portal for a quarterback? What does Freeze, a known quarterback guru, think of Robby Ashford? Is last year's Week One starter, TJ Finley, even still around? A little over two months later, Auburn wrapped up its first signing class under Freeze. It has seen the first of two transfer portal windows come and go. And still, a lot, if not all, of the questions surrounding the position remain. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Freeze said he thinks he'll know lots more about his quarterback room after spring practices start Feb. 27. "Truthfully, when I watched the cut-ups that I've watched, man, it's hard," Freeze said of Auburn's quarterbacks. "It's hard for me to adequately judge quarterbacks if they're not afforded the opportunity to stand in the pocket and make reads and make different throws for a decent percentage of time. The sample size for that is pretty small if they weren't under some type of duress, or maybe it was more of a move-the-pocket scheme. "So I'm anxious to get into spring and kind of see how they handle that, and then I'll go from there with what we do in the second portal window."

Auburn head football coach Hugh Freeze previews spring practices, recaps signing day while speaking to the media Feb. 2. Freeze confirmed reports that the program entertained bringing in a quarterback during the first transfer portal window, which closed in late January. Coastal Carolina's Grayson McCall, North Carolina State's Devin Leary and Oklahoma State's Spencer Sanders were all named that were tied to the Tigers. Although he didn't specify who was pursued, Freeze said he "never felt great" about many quarterbacks in the portal. "I was OK with that, honestly," Freeze said. "I'm excited to work with the ones we have." - Opelika-Auburn News

  Four months after he announced he was transferring away from Boise State, Hank Bachmeier has landed at Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs, which play in Conference USA, went 3-9 last season, the first under head coach Sonny Cumbie. Its starting quarterback, freshman Landry Lyddy, entered the transfer portal just over a week ago. "I wanted to play in the Air Raid and in a pass-friendly offense," Bachmeier told ESPN. "I think Coach Cumbie and his track record are a great fit. It's an offense that any quarterback would want to play in." As many remember, Bachmeier hit the transfer portal after four treacherous games to start his senior season.

The Broncos' four-year starting quarterback turned the ball over three times in the opener against Oregon State and was benched for Taylen Green. Then a few weeks later, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound former four-star recruit completed less than 40% of his passes in an embarrassing loss at UTEP. Offensive coordinator Tim Plough was fired the next day and Bachmeier was in the transfer portal not long after. Bachmeier, who will head to Louisiana Tech with two years of eligibility remaining, came to Boise State in 2019 as the highest-ranked quarterback recruit to ever sign with a Mountain West school. - Idaho Press

  Former Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier is heading to the Bayou State to finish his college football career. Bachmeier told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Wednesday that he's going to Louisiana Tech, a Conference USA school. He has two years of eligibility remaining. The four-year starter for the Broncos announced he was transferring last September, not long after Boise State lost to major underdog UTEP and offensive coordinator Tim Plough was fired.

PM Bachmeier said he picked the program in Ruston, Louisiana, in part because of head coach Sonny Cumbie's Air Raid scheme on offense. The system routinely produced quarterbacks who passed for more than 4,000 yards a season when he was the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech. The native of Murrieta, California, won the starting job all four years he was at Boise State. He went 20-9 as the starter and ranks in the top 10 in program history in career passing yards (6,605, No. 7) and touchdown passes (41, No. 7). Louisiana Tech finished 10th in its 11-team league last season, going 3-9 overall and 2-6 in C-USA play. - Idaho Statesman

  It's a tradition unlike any other. Auburn announced the date for its 2023 A-Day spring game, and unsurprisingly, it coincides with the Saturday of the Masters Tournament. That has often been the case over the years, including last year, and it will again be the case this spring as the Tigers hold their annual spring game on April 8 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. This year's A-Day game will mark the culmination of the Tigers' first spring under new head coach Hugh Freeze, who was hired in late November and tasked with resurrecting a program that fell on hard time during a less-than-two-year tenure under Bryan Harsin.

Freeze retooled the coaching staff, retaining only Cadillac Williams and Zac Etheridge as assistants, and has overhauled the roster with 17 incoming freshmen and a transfer haul featuring a dozen more players; the Tigers' recruiting class ranks 18th nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite team rankings, while its transfer class ranks fourth. Auburn will be allotted 15 practices during the spring, and while an official start date has yet to be announced, the Tigers are likely to return to the field in early March. It will all lead to A-Day on April 8, which typically includes a full, split-squad scrimmage inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. - Birmingham News

  2022 ALL-BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE SECOND TEAM: LB - Jacob Roberts, Jr., North Carolina A&T,...A second-team designation may be unpopular among the Aggie faithful. Roberts is such a dominant force whenever he is on the field, whether it is blocking kicks or making big hits. Roberts was a preseason all-conference selection. Roberts finished the season with 72 tackles, including 43 unassisted and 5 1/2 tackles for loss. He returned two interceptions for touchdowns and blocked two kicks on special teams. He also had five passes defended and recovered two fumbles. Roberts ranked 11th in the nation in blocked kicks and earned conference defensive player of the week after recording 12 tackles and a pick-6 in the Aggies win over Campbell on Oct. 29. - North Carolina A&T Football

  2022 SEC ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM: QB Robby Ashford, Auburn,...A redshirt freshman who won the starting job early in the season after transferring from Oregon, Ashford passed for 1,613 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022. Ashford ranks third among freshmen in program history in all passing categories and sixth among Auburn all-time freshman rushers. Only Bo Jackson (9) has rushed for more touchdowns than Ashford as an Auburn freshman.

Ashford threw for a season-high 337 yards and two touchdowns against LSU. He rushed for 108 yards and two scores vs. Mississippi State and concluded the season with 121 rushing yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns against Alabama, becoming the first Tiger since Carnell Williams to rush for two TDs in an Iron Bowl. "I knew I had to go out there and give my all and do whatever it took," Ashford said after the Iron Bowl. "Unfortunately it wasn't enough. This experience I'll always remember and cherish." Ashford was named Auburn's offensive player of the year at the team's postseason banquet. - Auburn Football

  2022 ALL-ACC FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: WR - A.T. Perry, Wake Forest, 167 votes,...Overall for the season, Perry has followed up his Biletnkoff Semifinalist season from a year ago with a stellar campaign.

Perry has recorded 28 career touchdown receptions, the most by a Demon Deacon wideout in program history. Perry tied Ricky Proehl's (1986-89) previous program record in the first quarter last week before rewriting the record book with 5:07 remaining in the first half on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Sam Hartman. Perry snagged another touchdown grab late in the first half to give Wake Forest a 24-21 lead. - Wake Forest Football

  Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 is Boise State's Hank Bachmeier: He was a three-year starter for the Broncos who decided in September this season to move on. He is most definitely not a dual-threat guy. Bachmeier finished his time at Boise with 6,605 passing yards and 41 TDs but also 19 interceptions from 2019-22. He battled through injuries and played behind an underperforming offensive line. Any team looking for a pass-first quarterback figures to at least have at least a modicum of interest in Bachmeier, who has seasons of eligibility remaining. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources
