Oregons Vernon Adams showed last year the difference a graduate transfer can make for his new team.Adams, a Championship Subdivision star at Eastern Washington, transferred to Oregon for his final year of eligibility and played exceptionally when he wasnt dealing with injuries. Adams threw for 2,643 yards and 26 touchdowns with only six interceptions to lead all Bowl Subdivision performers in passing efficiency.Adams has completed his eligibility and wont be back this season, but plenty of graduates across the country are attempting to make the same kind of impact he produced a year ago.The controversy surrounding defensive back Maurice Smiths move within the Southeastern Conference exemplifies how much attention these types of moves are getting. Smith has graduated from Alabama and moved on to Georgia, but Alabama initially blocked the move before the school and SEC officials eventually granted his release.Here are some notable graduate transfers for the 2016 season (coincidentally, the list includes someone attempting to replace Adams at Oregon):- Alabama wide receiver Gehrig Dieter (Bowling Green). Dieter caught 94 passes for 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns last season for Bowling Green. Dieter showed he could produce against Southeastern Conference competition by catching seven passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in a season-opening loss to Tennessee. The presence of Dieter and returning receivers Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart plus tight end O.J. Howard should provide plenty of capable targets Alabamas starting quarterback. This is Dieters third school. He began his college career at SMU before transferring to Bowling Green.- Texas A&M quarterback Trevor Knight (Oklahoma). Knight was billed as a rising star after capping his 2013 season by leading Oklahoma to a Sugar Bowl upset of Alabama, but he struggled with consistency in 2014 and lost his starting job last year in a preseason competition with Baker Mayfield, who went on to lead the Sooners to a playoff berth. Knight gets a chance to revive his career at Texas A&M, which needed a quarterback following the offseason departures of Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray.- Auburn linebacker T.J. Neal (Illinois) and Illinois linebacker Hardy Nickerson (California). Neal started 25 games for Illinois the last two seasons and followed up a 98-tackle campaign in 2014 by making 109 stops (14 behind the line of scrimmage) last year. Nickerson, the son of former NFL linebacker Hardy Nickerson, was a three-year starter at Cal who had a team-high 112 tackles last season. Nickersons dad is Illinois defensive coordinator.- Oregon quarterback Dakota Prukop (Montana State), One year after Vernon Adams made a successful move from Eastern Washington to Oregon, the Ducks are seeing whether another former Championship Subdivision quarterback can make a similar transition. Prukop had 5,584 yards passing and 1,763 yards rushing in his career at Montana State. He threw for 46 touchdowns and ran for 24 more scores. Prukop arrived at Oregon in time to play in the spring game, where he went 20 of 29 for 190 yards with two touchdown passes of over 30 yards. Prukop is competing with redshirt freshman Travis Jonsen for the starting spot.- Michigan State defensive end Gabe Sherrod (Delaware State). Sherrod had 25 tackles for loss last season, and his 2.3 tackles for loss per game ranked second among all FCS players. Sherrod, a former wide receiver, also had eight sacks and blocked four kicks a year ago. He will use his final season of eligibility at Michigan State, which must replace three-time all-Big Ten selection Shilique Calhoun and Lawrence Thomas at defensive end.- California quarterback Davis Webb (Texas Tech). Webb threw for 5,557 yards, 46 touchdowns and 22 interceptions the last three years at Texas Tech. Webb started six games and threw for 2,718 yards while leading Texas Tech to an 8-5 record his freshman year. But he then struggled with an ankle injury and eventually lost his starting job to Patrick Mahomes. Webb already has been named the starting quarterback and has the difficult task of replacing Jared Goff, selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft.---Online: AP College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org Blake Griffin Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.

Zion Williamson Jersey . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Derrius Guice showed Saturday night that LSU is in good hands next season if his star backfield teammate, Leonard Fournette, departs early for the NFL.Well, good feet, actually.The Tigers up-and-coming sophomore rushed for a career-high 252 yards on 21 carries in a 38-10 win over Arkansas. And he capped the remarkable performance with a 96-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the longest play from scrimmage in school history.The previous long run was 94 yards by both Sal Nicoio in 1952 and Jesse Fatheree in 1935, while the longest pass play was also 94 yards -- from Anthony Jennings to Travin Dural in 2014.Guice only had two carries for eight yards a week earlier in a 10-0 loss to top-ranked Alabama, something Tigers coach Ed Orgeron was intent on changing against the Razorbacks. Orgerons belief in the sophomore paid off, with Guice gaining the second most rushing yards in school history -- behind only Fournettes 284-yard performance against Mississippi earlier this season.Guice even got more carries than Fournette on Saturday, and the shifty 5-foot-11, 212-pound running back is likely to be considered more of co-lead in LSUs backfield from here on out.He clearly has the sense of humor to handle the spotlight.The play before (the 96-yard run), I purposely got a run for a loss to get that run, Guice joked. I set it up.Some other notable performances from across the country as college footballs regular season enters its final weeks:AIR WATSON: Clemsons run of success in close games came to an end in a 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Despite the setback, Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson added to his record-breaking career by passing for 580 yards --- an Atlantic Coast Conference single-game record.dddddddddddd The junior also set a school record with 52 completions, topping Cullen Harpers total of 38 set in 2007, and became the sixth player in ACC history to top 10,000 career yards of total offense.WILLIMAS DAY: Watson wasnt the only Clemson offensive standout in Saturdays loss. Junior Mike Williams finished with career highs in both catches (15) and receiving yards (202), and the wide receiver now has 67 catches for 956 yards.JONES WATCH: East Carolina wide receiver Zay Jones settled for a marginal game by his 2016 standards on Saturday, catching 12 passes for 173 yards in a 55-31 loss to SMU. Still, the senior is well on pace to break the FBS record for career catches when the Pirates host Navy next week. Jones, who leads the country with 139 receptions this season, currently has 380 catches for his career -- seven away from the record 387 by former teammate Justin Hardy.DIMICKS DAY: Utah defensive end Hunter Dimick took over the national lead with 12 sacks thanks to a school-record five sacks in a 49-26 win over Arizona State on Thursday. The senior also tied the school record for career sacks (27) with his effort, and he had a career-high nine tackles in the win.PICK SEVEN: Florida State defensive back Tarvarus McFadden had his streak of four straight games with an interception snapped in a 45-7 win over Boston College on Friday. That said, the sophomore still leads the country with seven interceptions for the season.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
