A Gasparilla Bowl victory would be perfect way to end to UCF’s challenging first season in Big 12 • ‘Call me when it’s a 13-game season’: Dolphins’ McDaniel not content with being No. 1 in AFC through Week 13
 Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, December 6, 2023 | | |
| | | | | This is where we learn if the Magic' start to the season is a fluke. They've got a long line of East opponents with records of .500 or better on tap. ... Finishing the season 7-6 would be a success for UCF, but the Knights have to beat Georgia Tech in the Gasparilla Bowl. ... Twelve games in, the Dolphins have the best record in the AFC while the Jags are in flux pending Trevor Lawrence's high ankle sprain. Those are worse than actual normal ankle sprains. ... The transfer portal is heating up at FSU, UCF and more chips are expected to fall at UF. | | | | Nine of the Magic's next 11 games are against East teams above .500. The upcoming tough stretch starts Wednesday in Cleveland. "It's time to get back to our standard and who we are as a team," Jalen Suggs said after practice. | | | | | Coach Gus Malzahn has been juggling a schedule that includes the opening of the transfer portal (Monday), the start of the earning signing period for high school recruits (Dec. 20) and preparing the Knights to face Georgia Tech in Tampa. | | | | | In order to get the Dolphins the top seed by season's end, Miami coach Mike McDaniel is sticking to what got his team to 9-3 and atop the AFC heading into a Monday night meeting with the Titans. | | | | | Among boys basketball winners were Orlando Christian Prep, Windermere, Olympia, Umatilla, Apopka and Lake Mary, while Bishop Moore had girls and boys soccer wins. | | | | | Florida State, still reeling in the aftermath of having been left out of the College Football Playoffs, saw four players enter the NCAA transfer portal on Monday, and the Seminoles could lose up to six players although that total could rise. | | | | | The senior from Miami started 39 games during his four seasons with the Knights, tallying 139 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 4 interceptions and 24 passes defended during his time in Orlando. | | | | | Coach Doug Pederson said Trevor Lawrence's injury "looked worse than it really was. Very fortunate there." He declined to say if Lawrence has a realistic shot at playing Sunday at Cleveland (7-5). | | | | | USF Foundation CEO Jay Stroman said supply chain issues drive the timeline. Those issues mean the stadium cannot open in 2026 as the Bulls have planned. Instead, 2027 is the new target date. | | | | | J.J Russell inherited K.J. Britt's responsibility as the defensive play-caller with a headset in his helmet, and Ryan Neal lined up next to him as the other inside linebacker in Tampa Bay's 3-4 formation. | | | | | The Hurricanes have not shrunk away from improving their roster through the transfer portal. There are five positions they will certainly look to improve this month. | | | |
