UCF faces questions at quarterback after John Rhys Plumlee’s injury | Analysis • High school sports scores and top performers from Tuesday, Sept. 12
 Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, September 13, 2023 | | |
| | | | | How bad a night was it for the Rays? When you lose a key player to a "testicular contusion," that's how bad. Yikes! ... At least that's not John Rhys Plumlee's issue, but Sanford Seminole alum Timmy McClain, who ditched USF after he lost his starting job, has a chance to cement himself as a college QB again. Getting a game vs. Villanova under his belt before jumping in the Big 12 should help, but Plumlee unfortunately appeared to be an injury certainty after all the unnecessary blows he took against Kent State in Week 1. ... What a week for New York football: The Giants get cut down to size by division rival Dallas in a 40-0 loss, Josh Allen and the Bills lose to Zach Wilson and the Jets lose Aaron Rodgers for the season after four plays. I'd still take Rodgers in his current state over Josh McCown and Sam Darnold. The Jets wasted four seasons. ... All the momentum Florida has lost since that upset win vs. Utah last year can be restored by beating Tennessee. | | | | On Saturday night, the former UCF AD will be at the Swamp as the AD at Tennessee, where his 11th-ranked football team is a touchdown favorite over unranked Florida and his athletic program has unseated the Gators as the all-sports king of the SEC. | | | | | Timmy McClain, a redshirt sophomore, is no stranger to the spotlight, appearing as a true freshman in 12 games for USF. This will be his first start since he faced UCF in the season finale on Nov. 26, 2021, at the Bounce House. | | | | | Among girls volleyball winners on Tuesday were Sanford Seminole, Kissimmee Osceola, Hagerty, Olympia and Horizon, while Boone and Lake Brantley had boys golf wins. Winter Park and DeLand notched girls golf wins. | | | | | A UF upset would dramatically alter expectations for a team picked to finish fifth in the SEC East division. A loss would continue the Vols' ascendence in the pecking order under former UCF coach Josh Heupel, a development the Gators want to avoid after two decades of dominance. | | | | | All eyes still on Damian Lillard and Portland Trail Blazers amid Miami Heat speculation, with NBA training camps opening in three weeks. | | | | | Coach Robert Saleh says Aaron Rodgers has a torn left Achilles tendon and the 39-year-old quarterback will miss the rest of the season. An MRI revealed the severity of the four-time NFL MVP's injury, confirming what the Jets feared after their 22-16 overtime win over Buffalo. | | | | | Things seemed to be going the Tampa Bay Rays' way. They had a lead over the Twins, thanks to a couple of key hits and another strong start by Zack Littell. And the Baltimore Orioles, whom they are trying to chase down for the American League East lead, lost. | | | | | Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke returned to his 2021 form in Miami's win over Texas A&M on Saturday. | | | | | In the latest installment of our Dolphins Q&A, readers ask about Tua's potential price tag on a contract extension, the run game, Isaiah Wynn and David Long Jr. | | | | | It's not easy to be in the spotlight from 15, Gauff's age when the transformation began from someone people in tennis knew about to someone the world knew about, thanks to a win over Venus Williams and a run to the fourth round at Wimbledon in her 2019 Grand Slam debut. | | | | | The mother of Williams' 8-year-old daughter and his agent confirm that he was removed from life support last week, passed Tuesday morning. | | | |
