College football’s first TD has been scored in the 2022 season, and it comes to us via the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers!
The Hilltoppers are hosting FCS foe Austin Peay in the first kickoff of Week 0, and it only took until their second drive for them to find the end zone.
As you can see below, QB Austin Reed (taking over for record-setting WKU QB Bailey Zappe) found WR Malachi Corley for a 16-yard touchdown 2 plays after converting a fourth down:

The drive was set up by the first interception of the 2022 season, as you can see in this video:

The score gave the Hilltoppers a 7-0 lead following the extra point. The game is being shown on the CBS Sports Network. With the way the Hilltoppers run their offense, this likely won’t be the last touchdown of the game.
