 Sentinel Sports Final Monday, September 18, 2023 | | |
| | | | | The Gators are back in the Top 25. At least for this week. Lose to Kentucky in a few weeks and this all changes. ... Whether the Pride qualify for the postseason or not, being this close with four games left in the season is a major step under first-year coach Seb Hines. ... Big week for Timmy McClain. He'll forever be the answer to this trivia question: Who was the first QB to start a Big 12 game for UCF? ... Is it possible for the Dolphins and Bucs to be really good at the same time? There's 15 games left. Ask me later. This isn't a sprint. 🤷🏾 | | | | Tennessee and quarterback Joe Milton III joined a list of offenses to struggle mightily in the Swamp. With an announced crowd of 90,751 at a fever pitch, the Vols committed five false starts, had to burn two timeouts in a drive and were out of sorts all too often. | | | | | The Dolphins ran their record to 2-0 with their win at New England, and appear to have righted some of the concerns they had in their season opener. Here are some other takeaways from Sunday night's game. | | | | | Backup quarterback Timmy McClain earned his first start with the Knights, filling in for injured starter John Rhys Plumlee. The defense held another team to less than 20 points for the third consecutive game. | | | | | It didn't take long for the Pride to strike with Ally Watt's goal in the first minute. Adriana delivered a perfect through ball that Watt slipped behind the defense to receive. Her shot bounced off of Courage goalkeeper Casey Murphy and rolled into the net for a 1-0 lead. | | | | | Mike Evans dominated. He had six catches for 171 yards, including a leaping 32-yard touchdown and a 70-yard reception to set up another score. The victory improved the surprising Bucs to 2-0 and sets up a Monday Night Football game against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. | | | | | The Jaguars, who insisted they owed the Chiefs because of a loss in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs, no-showed in their home opener. They had another slow start, failed to capitalize on two of three turnovers and struggled to protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence. | | | | | With the division title still in doubt, it wasn't clear if the Orioles would stage a big celebration when they merely clinched a postseason berth. After a win like this, how could they not? | | | | | UF entered the poll at No. 25, the program's first appearance since dropping out Sept. 25 following a 38-33 loss at Tennessee while ranked No. 20. | | | | | The Dolphins got to 2-0 after two big road wins to start the season, and the offensive line has another big day in Sunday Night Football victory over Patriots. | | | | | Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a grand slam for the second consecutive game and the Miami Marlins routed the Atlanta Braves 16-2 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep of the NL East champions. | | | |
