Bowl projections: Could Miami play Florida in the post-season?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The latest bowl projections have most of Florida’s teams facing the possibility of staying in-state for the post season. With none of the schools figuring in the playoffs, most of ESPN’s latest projections still have some intriguing match-ups. Start with UCF, which will play in Orlando’s Cure Bowl against Appalachian State on Dec. 17 (according to Mark Schlabach) or the Miami Beach Bowl (Dec. 19) against Ohio (according to Brett McMurphy). USF is projected to play against Boston College in…

Is it time for Jimbo Fisher to slam the door on LSU rumors?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The rumors are buzzing again. This guy heard from a guy who knows a guy who used to work with a source that Jimbo Fisher is still interested in the LSU job. The whispers will not go away. The latest reports come from the New Orleans Times-Picayne, who quote anonymous (of course) sources suggesting Fisher, the FSU coach, is ready to take the job if his financial demands are met. So why doesn’t Fisher just say no? Once and for…

FSU takes big win over Boston College with five touchdown passes

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It was supposed to be this easy all along. By design, FSU was supposed to blow opponents away … the way they did Boston College Friday night in a 45-7 victory. They were supposed roll up 416 yards offensively … the way they did against the Eagles. Their defense was supposed to stifle the opposition … as they did when they held Boston College to 146 yards of offense. The Seminoles had their way with the Eagles Sunday night, holding Boston College…

The Predictions: Florida might get a glimpse at future QBs

in Sports/Top Headlines by

This time, the noise isn’t about the coach who is coming back. It’s about the quarterbacks who are here. Yeah, yeah. So Will Muschamp is coming back to Gainesville. Big deal. Muschamp wasn’t especially popular when he worked here. For Florida, the bigger question is about quarterback Luke Del Rio, who will miss Saturday’s game against South Carolina. In his place is backup Austin Appleby. But what has the Gator faithful interested is the possibility of freshmen Feleipe Franks and…

Miami’s Brad Kaaya breaks slump in big win over Pittsburgh

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Brad Kaaya, like his team, was in a slump. For four straight games, the Miami Hurricanes had lost. And for four straight games, Kaaya’s quarterback rating was less than a 66. For a quarterback expected to go in the first round of next season’s draft, that was frightfully low. Then came Pitt. And Kaaya was a hit. Kaaya won the Sunshine State Award this week for his performance against the Panthers. He hit 32 of 45 passes for 356 yards…

FSU’s defense makes key stop late to hold off N.C. State

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Florida State’s defense, maligned most of the year, came up with a key stop late and allowed the Seminoles to win a close game on the road. The FSU defense forced an incomplete pass on fourth-and-12 from their own 26 with 1:09 to go. The N.C. State Wolfpack had a first and 10 at the FSU 24, but four passes resulted in three incompletions and a catch for minus two yards. It left FSU as a 24-20 winner. Quarterback Deondre…

The Predictions: Gators will win another game behind their defense

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Florida Gators face another afternoon of being unimpressive Saturday. Every week, it is the same. The defense will play well against Arkansas, the offense will struggle, the Gators will win. And the critics will yawn. It has largely been so this year as Florida has built a 6-1 record and a No. 10 ranking in the AP Poll. The defense is second in the nation, but every week, all everyone wants to do is notice that Luke Del Rio…
