| | Gus Malzahn gives UCF early Christmas present by resigning | UF dominates hapless FSU to end 2-game skid to Seminoles | Orlando City thwarted by Red Bulls in MLS East title match | Magic bigs Carter and Bitadze provide dangerous lineup | | On a day featuring Michigan’s stunning win at Ohio State, Miami’s loss at Syracuse and South Carolina’s win at Clemson, Florida (7-5) dominated its hapless archrival FSU (2-10). | | | Give Gus Malzahn credit for graciously stepping aside for the sake of the program. He could have easily held UCF hostage for the brunt of the buyout money. | | | The 59-year-old Malzahn is leaving UCF after four season during which he led the program to a 28-24 record but back-to-back losing seasons. | | | The Magic know the work continues through the long-haul only a quarter of the way through the season and entering a Sunday afternoon re-match against the Nets. | | | Local winners at the Metro vs Florida Challenge were Windermere, Evans, Cypress Creek and host Apopka in a thriller over Lake Howell. Girls winners in the Feast Week Classic included Oak Ridge, Lake Mary and Timber Creek. | | | In Class 7A, Lake Mary and Dr. Phillips will match up in the state semifinals, Osceola will take on West Boca Raton in Class 6A, and unbeaten Jones will host St. Augustine in Class 4A. | | | A goal right after halftime made all the difference as the Lions fell 1-0. | | | The Hurricanes had a chance to score the game-tying touchdown in the game's final minutes, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty backed them up. | | | Backup QB Israel Carter threw 2 TDs in the final 3 minutes but the Bulls (6-6) fell 35-28. | | | The Buccaneers (5-6) trail the Falcons by one game in the NFL's weakest division entering the game at Carolina (3-8), which hired Dave Canales away from Tampa Bay as head coach after he helped resurrect Mayfield's career. | | | Given how well the Texans have played against the Jaguars in recent years, this could be the ideal matchup to get coach DeMeco Ryans' team pointed in the right direction to start December. | | | Green Bay was the latest winning team to whip the Dolphins. It's become a defining point of Mike McDaniel's tenure. | | | Tampa Bay, which was without leading scorer Nikita Kucherov in the 5-3 loss, got goals from Mikey Eyssimont, Jake Guentzel and Cam Atkinson. | | | |
