| | | | Week 2 football: Class 1A TFA rallies to stun 5A power Edgewater| Florida seeks tone-setting season-opening win vs. No. 19 Miami | Orlando City can take advantage of vulnerable Nashville | | | | Week 2 of high school football teed off with former Seminole state champ coach Eric Lodge and his Berkeley, S.C., team playing Winter Park Thursday. Friday’s games include Osceola at Lake Mary, Evans-Apopka and audacious private school power-to-be TFA challenging public school juggernaut Edgewater. | | | | | The top 3 after Day 1 of the Lakewood Ranch boys golf invite are local with Lake Mary 4 shots ahead of Winter Park, and Windermere in 3rd. In the Nike Tournament of Champions Southeast event, Olympia, Winter Park and DeLand all went undefeated on the first day. | | | | | Coming off a 7-6 finish, Miami makes its first trip to Gainesville since 2008 to face a team coming off three consecutive losing seasons — the past two under Billy Napier. | | | | | Although they went just 7-6 in 2023, the 'Canes are expected to compete for the ACC title and a College Football Playoff spot. | | | | | Those early-season blowouts of Bethune-Cookman and Temple were as deceiving as the OT win at Clemson and the one-score loss at eventual ACC champion FSU. | | | | | The Knights worked to make themselves more durable and tougher in the trenches in preseason camp. Thursday was a good start. | | | | | The Knights have one of the deepest running backs groups in college football and they showed it against New Hampshire. | | | | | Nashville has struggled all season, sitting in 14th place out of 15 teams in the East, and lost its last seven MLS games. | | | | | The Bulls' rushing offense was among the best in the AAC, averaging 182.8 yards. But can they rely on the QB leading the way again? Byrum Brown's chances at injury increase dramatically because he'll take more hits. | | | | | Memphis, the projected favorite, could make noise as a CFP contender with defensive improvement. USF is in contention for the first time in years behind quarterback Byrum Brown's record-breaking season and a strong running game. | | | |
