Former Gators running back Lamical Perine, who was selected by the New York Jets in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, scored the first touchdown of his NFL career on Sunday in the Jets’ game against Buffalo.

He took it in on the ground from five yards out to give New York a 10-0 lead over the Bills.

He’s been limited to just three appearances this season due to an injury suffered during the preseason, but with the release of running back Le’Veon Bell last week, Perine is expected to see a bigger role in the offense moving forward.

So far on the season, Perine has 22 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown during his rookie season. Throughout four years at Florida, he averaged five yards a carry, totaling 2,485 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns on 493 carries. He also scored eight touchdowns through the air.

With him already having 10 carries in the game against Buffalo at the time of writing, it seems he’s already stepping in to help pick up the slack Bell used to carry.

D’Andre Swift scores his 1st NFL touchdown

Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift scored his 1st NFL touchdown in the first half of their Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears.

Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift opened Week 1 against the Chicago Bears as the third running back off the bench, but he made the biggest impact of the game so far scoring his first NFL touchdown and giving the Lions the lead going into the half.

Swift had once carry for one yard and one target without a reception entering the final 40-seconds of the first half. The Lions’ two-minute offense took the field and he secured a catch for seven yards, followed by two beautiful T.J. Hockenson catches setting up a first and goal from the one-yard line.

In the play below, Swift gets the handoff and sprints to the frontside B-gap for the easy score:

The only person that touched him on the play was the Lions right guard, fellow rookie Jonah Jackson, who was more in the way than an actual obstacle.

Congrats to the rookie on a fun first moment in the NFL.

Alamo Bowl halftime recap

In a great position to win their third straight bowl, if UT can replicate their first half in the second half, they will pull out a victory.

After a solid first quarter for the Longhorns, the second quarter started out even better with a 71-yard punt return from D’Shawn Jamison, setting Texas up inside their own 10-yard line.

Two plays later, Collin Johnson broke wide open in the back of the end zone, giving the Longhorns their first touchdown of the night. It was Johnson’s first score since the Kansas State game.

Utah’s offense remained stalled to start out the second quarter, only gaining 25 yards on eight plays. Two sacks from Ta’Quon Graham and Joseph Ossai mixed with a false start from the offensive line forced the Utes back.

After only throwing for 33 yards in the first half, Ehlinger finally found his groove throwing the ball down the field. First, Johnson had a big play for 23 yards and then Devin Duvernay got a 40-yard reception down the sideline.

The Longhorn got cute on the next play, as Duvernay lost eight yards on a reverse. That play killed the Texas drive, making it 4th and 2 after Ehlinger managed nine yards on third down.

Tom Herman decided it was worth to go for it, but after good pressure from the Utes, Ehlinger threw an interception to Utah’s Javelin Guidry. Originally called a drop, the referees reviewed it, putting the Utes on the one-yard line.

Getting the first turnover of the game, Utah finally started to get their offense rolling to close the half. A big 26 yard run from running back Zach Moss got the Utes into Texas territory for the first time.

Just when it started to go well for them, an ineligible man downfield and an intentional grounding penalty killed the drive. They were forced to punt for the fifth time.

Texas is playing really well, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Shutting an explosive Utah offense was not something expected from the Longhorns, but is no doubt welcomed. Besides the turnover, everything has gone right for Sam Ehlinger and the offense.

In a great position to win their third straight bowl game, if Texas can replicate their first half in the second half, they will pull out a victory.

Alamo Bowl First Quarter Recap

Texas has played well so far. If the defense continues to play this way, the offense will have a great chance to win it for the Longhorns.

To start the game, Texas won the toss and elected to receive. Putting Sam Ehlinger and the offense on the field immediately, the Longhorns started out strong with a deep shot to Collin Johnson for 34 yards down the middle.

From that point on, Keaontay Ingram was solid in the run game, getting Texas down to the Utah 10 yard line. On third down, Ehlinger got away with a throw, as Utah more than likely should have had a pick-six.

Cameron Dicker hit a 29-yard field goal to put Texas up 3-0.

With Utah getting the ball for the first time, they got a first down via a Tyler Huntley throw to Cole Fotheringham on their first play. Texas forced a punt three plays later after stuffing running back Zach Moss and quarterback Tyler Huntley.

Texas got the ball back after a Utah punt and was not able to do much. Only gaining a first down through a Ute penalty, second and third down was dominated by the Utah defensive line, getting to Ingram and Ehlinger behind the line of scrimmage.

Zach Moss started to do Zach Moss type things for the Utes to open up their second drive, gaining 11 yards on the first two plays. Utah went to the passing game after that but found little success. Devonta’e Henry dropped a swing pass from Huntley that could have gone a long way. The Longhorn defense continued their strong start, forcing another punt.

Roschon Johnson got in the action to start the third drive, getting 21 yards throughout the entire drive. Texas could not capitalize on his gains though, punting for the second time after a Brennan Eagles screen pass forced a 4th and 11.

After getting away with a field goal on their first drive, Texas is lucky to be up 3-0 in this game. The defense has been outstanding so far, limiting Tyler Huntley to what he can do in the passing game. If they continue to play this way throughout the entire game, the offense will have a great chance to win Tom Herman’s third consecutive bowl game.

Texas stats

Sam Ehlinger: 2-6 33 yards

Keaontay Ingram: Five rushes, 20 yards
