WRs Light Up Week 1 as Oklahoma State Stumbles and UMass Breaks Through

Week 1 delivered a WR-heavy show with Malachi Toney’s school-record 229 receiving yards and three TDs for Miami, Jeremiah Smith’s 151 yards and two TDs in the first half, Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo finding the end zone, and Trent Mosley weaving another 100-yard game for USC, signaling a potential wave of top-tier receivers in 2026. Off the field, Oklahoma State’s new-look program fell 24-10 to Tulsa, Oregon’s vaunted defensive line was unable to control Boise State, Pittsburgh’s Mason Heintschel dazzled with seven TD passes and 453 yards in a 59-14 rout of Miami (Ohio), UMass shocked Rutgers 37-21 ending a 16-game slide, and Bowling Green lost a closer-than-expected 20-13 tilt to Tarleton State.
