Sentinel Super 16 football rankings pit 1 vs. 2 in Week 5 showdown • UCF anticipates wild atmosphere in Big 12 opener at Kansas State
 Sentinel Sports Final Tuesday, September 19, 2023 | | |
| | | | | Luckily for the Gators, they're playing Charlotte now that the SEC has issued suspensions for the skirmsih to end this past weekend's game at the Swamp. ... The Knights know they'll have to play their best football in their first Big 12 game at K-State. Pull of this one with a backup QB in Timmy McClain and the trajectory for their first season in the Power Five heightens. ... The Rays will make their new stadium in St. Pete official today (sorry Orlando Dreamers, you never had a chance). ... Monday Night Football continued a trend that began Sunday when 10 games were decided by 8 points or less. Both Monday games were decided by a total of 7 points. ... Michigan St. coach Mel Tucker is officially about to be ex-Michigan St. coach Mel Tucker. See how this all went down and what he's admitted to with investigators. And that he did these things knowing he had $77M left on his contract. I have to keep reading it again and again to believe it. I can hear Urban Meyer would shaking his head about this.😮 | | | | Tennessee 340-pound nose tackle Omari Thomas knocked the 215-pound Florida quarterback Graham Mertz to the ground as he tried to scramble around the pocket to run out the game's final nine seconds Saturday night. The Gators ran to their QB's defense to set off a scuffle. | | | | | Edgewater and Apopka play Friday in a meeting of top-ranked high school football teams in the Orlando area. Olympia moves up this week and Dr. Phillips replaces Leesburg in the Sentinel Super 16 rankings. Week 5 features four matchups between ranked teams. | | | | | While this weekend's matchup won't feature a cavalcade of Harleys — that's reserved for Kansas State's home contest with TCU on Oct. 21 — it's a sellout crowd expected at the 50,000-seat venue for the Big 12 opener with UCF (3-0, 0-0) and the Wildcats (2-1, 0-0). | | | | | The team said it's reached a deal to build a new stadium on the city's 87-acre Tropicana Field site, partnering with the city, Pinellas County and outside investors on a potentially $1.2 billion park in 2028. | | | | | ABC will be airing more "Monday Night Football" games than originally planned. An additional 10 games originally set to appear only on ESPN will be simulcast on ABC. | | | | | Transfer quarterback Graham Mertz continued to capitalize on his second chance, Trevor Etienne exhibited star potential and a retooled defense turned in another inspired effort under Austin Armstrong. | | | | | Week 3 in college football was about just getting through it for most of the highly ranked teams. No. 1 Georgia needed a half to get rolling against South Carolina. No. 3 Florida State had to hold on at Boston College. And then there was No. 10 Alabama. The Crimson Tide struggled to put away South Florida in a performance that had to feel as unsettling for Alabama fans as the loss to Texas last week. Week 4 is a huge one in college football with as many as six games matching ranked teams. Will Alabama be one of them? | | | | | Tony Jones Jr. ran for two touchdowns, rookie Blake Grupe kicked two field goals and the New Orleans Saints defeated the Carolina Panthers 20-17 on Monday night to improve to 2-0. | | | | | Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller told suspended football coach Mel Tucker Monday that he will be fired without compensation for misconduct involving activist and rape survivor Brenda Tracy. | | | | | For the better part of 60 sweltering minutes Sunday, Mike Evans barely resembled a guy whose tenure in Tampa Bay might be on fumes. Well, except for one play, when the greatest receiver in franchise lore simply ran out of gas. | | | | | T.J. Watt returned a fumble 17 yards for the go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter as the Pittsburgh Steelers edged the Cleveland Browns 26-22. The game was overshadowed by a gruesome injury. | | | | | Jacksonville's offensive line has been the early scapegoat. Rookie right tackle Anton Harrison, who dealt with a shoulder injury during training camp, has allowed three sacks and has been beaten way more often in two games. He appeared overmatched vs. All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones. | | | | | Jeff McNeil hit a tiebreaking HR leading as the Mets knocked the Marlins out of playoff position. Miami fell a half-game behind the idle Cubs for the third and final NL wild card. | | | |
