ELON — N.C. Central on Saturday night looked like it switched places with the Division II team it handled in its season opener. The Eagles just couldn’t get going and fell to Elon 34-14.
The score wasn’t necessarily indicative of the way Elon dominated the game.
“We stunk it up,” NCCU coach Henry Frazier III said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It was a Saturday filled with $475,000 worth of frustration for Savannah State.
The Tigers received the expected beatdown from sixth-ranked Florida State and absorbed a night of lightning and rain delays during a 55-0 pounding from the Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium.
The game was mercifully stopped with 8 minutes and 59 seconds left in the third quarter after a second stint with inclement weather. The game was delayed 57 minutes in the second quarter.

Rutgers shuts out Howard 26-0 In the Rain
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The way Rutgers' defense is playing, Kyle Flood doesn't need much from his offense these days.
Gary Nova threw two touchdown passes to Brandon Coleman, and the Scarlet Knights' swarming defense limited Howard to 149 total yards Saturday, giving Flood a 26-0 victory in his first home game as the Rutgers coach.

Sooners run all over Rattlers 69-13 with newcomer leading the way
By John Shinn The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Oklahoma did what it was supposed to do Saturday at Owen Field. It rolled through Florida A&M 69-13 and improved to 2-0.
How it did it is what raised a few eyebrows.
The fifth-ranked Sooners (2-0) rushed for 349 yards and scored eight of its 10 touchdowns on the ground. But it was junior college transfer Damien Williams who set the pace and looked like the most explosive running back OU’s had since DeMarco Murray graduated in 2010.

Bulls blow past Bears 56-34

For the fourth time in four seasons the feel-good game on the University at Buffalo football schedule sent positive vibes surging throughout UB Stadium.
Running back Bo Oliver plowed through the defense like he had commandeered a John Deere tractor. You know, one of the really big ones.
Quarterback Alex Zordich and top wideout Alex Neutz made like Montana and Rice or, if you prefer, Willy and Roosevelt.
