FSU’s dispatching to Orange Bowl fuels dismay • UCF headed back to Gasparilla Bowl to face Georgia Tech
Sentinel Sports Final Monday, December 4, 2023 | | |
| | Leaving unbeaten FSU out of CFP semifinals is un-American | UCF headed back to Gasparilla Bowl to face Georgia Tech | Dolphins romp at Commanders | | And you wonder why college football is considered a cesspool of corruption? What does it tell you about the soul of a sport in which a player being injured is part of the committee's criteria but a coaching staff that cheats (see Michigan) is not part of the selection process? | | | FSU finished at No. 5, due to two factors: QB Jordan Travis' leg injury and how that impacted the Seminoles' offense as well as the team's strength of schedule. | | | It's the sixth time the program has played in the bowl game, which has had various names over its 15 years of existence. UCF (6-6, 3-6 Big 12) most recently played in the game in 2021, when the Knights defeated Florida 29-17. | | | No. 17 Hawkeyes to meet No. 21 Vols on Jan. 1. | | | In its last four games, Jamahl Mosley's squad posted a 118.9 defensive rating (which ranks 23rd) and gave up 122.8 points per contest. "The last couple of games, we've been slipping," Franz Wagner said after Saturday's road loss in Brooklyn. | | | One play after Carolina takes the lead, Evans strikes for a 75-yard touchdown reception from Baker Mayfield. | | | Miami dominated Washington and starts December, a month that historically has been unkind to the franchise, with a win to get to 9-3. | | | The Dolphins' Tyreek Hill had two TDs and 157 yards receiving in a little more than a half against the Commanders' hapless defense. It was the second game this season he's had two TDs of at least 60 yards. | | | Miami had a starting linebacker make an early exit vs Washington with a knee injury. Meanwhile, combination of Andrew Van Ginkel and Emmanuel Ogbah produced in place of the injured Jaelan Phillips. | | | Jacksonville (8-3) is making its first appearance on "Monday Night Football" since 2011, and the Bengals (5-6) last won a MNF road game in 1990. | | | |
