Creel had 129 yards throwing and 132 yards rushing for Jacksonville State (3-3, 2-0 Conference USA).

  Cam Cook ran for 195 yards with two touchdowns and Jacksonville State defeated Liberty 34-24 on Saturday in a Conference USA opener between the past two league champions.

Two long touchdowns in the fourth quarter kept Liberty within seven points. A 52-yard run by Evan Dickens made it 24-17 and a 62-yard pass play from Ethan Vasko to Donte Lee Jr. made it 31-24 before Jax State's Garrison Rippa kicked a 24-yard field goal for the final score.

His 17.5 tackles-for-loss this season are tied with Jason Burns (1990) for the eighth-most in a single season and are the 10th most in the FCS.

  Defensive back Beanie Bishop, who played in all 13 games during the 2022 season for the Gophers, announced Thursday on Twitter that he has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Bishop, who came to Minnesota in January of 2022 after playing four seasons at Western Kentucky, made 29 tackles, including 20 solo, and had one sack and one pass breakup for the Gophers last year.

The Louisville native had 76 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 12 passes defensed and three interceptions in 36 games at Western Kentucky. In 2021, he was named first-team All-Conference USA. Bishop will have one year of eligibility remaining. Bishop is the fourth defensive back to transfer from Minnesota since the end of the 2022 season. He joins Michael "Flip" Dixon (Rutgers), Jalen Glaze (Florida A&M) and Steven Ortiz (Massachusetts). - Minneapolis Star Tribune

  On paper, the numbers from 2022 aren't amazing. In 13 games, OSU outside linebackers combined for 5½ sacks and 12 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. While they may not have put the opposing quarterback on the ground at the good clip, they had a big impact on the defensive passing numbers. Opponent's quarterbacks often threw passes a beat or two before they wanted, causing plenty of misfires and 12 interceptions. What took place in 2022 should continue to build this spring and into the 2023 season. The Beavers return all the key outside figures from last season, and have added significant pieces.

There should be opportunity this spring, as senior John McCartan and junior Ryan Franke are out with injuries. In addition, Riley Sharp will spend the spring at tight end, to see if it's a fit. That opens the door for redshirt freshman Mathias Malaki-Donaldson and transfers Nikko Taylor and Oluwaseyi Omotosho to show where they might fare on the 2023 roster. Omotosho, a hybrid defensive end/OLB, is interesting. He had a breakout season in his third year at Wyoming, with 6 ½ sacks and 46 tackles. Omotosho didn't begin playing football until his high school junior year, so improvement is expected. - The Oregonian

  West Virginia announced the signing of defensive lineman Davoan Hawkins on Tuesday. Hawkins, a 6-foot-2, 286-pound senior, joins the Mountaineers after spending the last three seasons at Tennessee State. He was at Kentucky for three seasons before that. He finished his career with Tennessee State with 92 tackles, including 18 for loss and eight sacks. He also had five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and blocked two kicks.

This past fall he had 31 tackles, with five for loss, a sack, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. The Lauderdale Hill, Florida, native played in 11 games the year before and in all seven of the team's games during the Ohio Valley Conference's 2020 season, which was postponed to spring 2021 due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
