Rushes for TD in relief Smothers went 4-for-6 for 62 yards and ran five times for 32 yards and a touchdown after replacing Tyler Huff (undisclosed) against WKU on Saturday.

Impact Due to the injury to JSU's star quarterback, Smothers threw his first pass since Week 1 (he ran the ball a few times in the interim). If Huff's injury is serious enough, Smothers will find himself starting the Conference USA title game.

Listed as co-starter Smothers (undisclosed) is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's contest against Southern Mississippi, Max Donaldson of The Gadsden Times reports.

Impact Smothers appears poised for a return after he was sidelined for the Gamecocks' previous two contests. While he's listed as a co-starter, Smothers figures to take the majority of reps under center if he is back to full health. The senior threw for 735 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in 12 games last season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play Saturday Smothers (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's loss to Eastern Michigan.

Impact Smothers had been limited in practice all week prior to missing a second straight game Saturday. The senior quarterback completed 7-of-13 passes for just 61 yards in the Gamecocks' opener. Smothers will look to return next week at home versus Southern Mississippi.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Smothers (undisclosed) is still limited in practice, the Anniston Star reports.

Impact Smothers was limited in practice the week prior, and it appears whatever ailment was bothering him has carried over into Week 3 prep for Eastern Michigan. His injury kept him from playing against Louisville, but head coach Rich Rodriguez has reportedly indicated that he believes both Smothers and Tyler Huff are starting-level quarterbacks.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

DNP prior to Saturday Head coach Rich Rodriguez indicated that Smothers (undisclosed) was hurt all week before Saturday's game against Loisville and did not practice much, per Thomas Ashworth of AL.com.

Impact Smothers split reps with fellow quarterback Tyler Huff in Jacksonville State's season opener against Coastal Carolina, but did not appear in Saturday's loss to Louisville. Although Smothers' status for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan is thus far unknown, Rodriguez indicated that Huff would likely be the starter against the Eagles. Smothers will hope to get healthy in time for another chance to earn back the starting job.

Doesn't do much in opener Smothers went 7-for-13 for 61 yards against Coastal Carolina on Thursday. He ran eight times for 17 yards but lost a fumble as well.

Impact Smothers and Tyler Huff split the snaps pretty evenly as the Gamecocks look for their new starter. While Smothers should have the advantage, having started a few times last season, he certainly didn't earn the gig in any real way in an opener than saw JSU lose comfortably.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Likely starter for opener Smothers is warming up with the Gamecocks' starting center ahead of Thursday's opener versus Coastal Carolina, Max Donaldson of The Gasden Times reports.

Impact Smothers appears to be in line to start the season opener given he is warming up with Brock Robey, the team's starting center. There is still a chance he will share snaps with Tyler Huff or Zion Turner, but Smothers is at the very least the Week 1 starter.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Listed in co-starting role Smothers is listed as a co-starter for the Week 1 matchup against Coastal Carolina on Saturday.

Impact It's unclear how Jacksonville State will handle the reps under center, but Smothers has a strong shot at seeing regular snaps. He's listed as a co-starter alongside Tyler Huff and Zion Turner.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Completes pass Smothers (ankle) completed one pass for four yards during Jacksonville State's 20-17 win Tuesday against Western Kentucky.

Impact Despite spraining his ankle against Liberty on Oct. 10, Smothers did not have to sit out any games. The college junior has 875 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns across 2023. Ideally for Smothers, he can replace Zion Webb as Jacksonville State's starting quarterback again.

Questionable for Week 8 Smothers (ankle) is questionable for Jacksonville State's game Tuesday against Western Kentucky, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smothers has participated in all of Jacksonville State's games across 2023 so far and will try to continue his playing streak during Week 8. But even if the quarterback can play, he is expected to be limited, not only by his injury but also Zion Webb being the starting quarterback.
