| | | | Gators stunned by USF | UCF and FSU roll | Miami dispatches Bethune-Cookman | Evans upends No. 1 Jones | | | | The goodwill Napier manufactured with that late-season four-game winning streak a year ago has been blown away like a cheap tailgate tent in a Gainesville thunderstorm. | | | | | A week after UF beat up on a FCS foe and made few mistakes, Billy Napier's Gators were stunned 18-16 by USF Saturday night in the Swamp. | | | | | The redshirt senior scored three touchdowns — including a 96-yard opening-kickoff return — to power the Knights to a 2-0 start. | | | | | The Bulls have beaten two top-25 teams to launch the season. | | | | | In cross country, Hagerty boys won the Winter Springs Invite. In boys golf, Jack Mokris of Bishop Moore shot 5-under-par for 2 days to earn medalist at the Lakewood Ranch Invite. At the Bulldog Stampede volleyball tournament, Foundation Academy won both of its matches. | | | | | Jiah Walls' 89-yard strip-fumble return for a touchdown provided a game-deciding touchdown for Evans as the Trojans upset Jones. | | | | | Lake Brantley's offense continued to roll with quarterback Jackson Stecher and running back CJ Dewberry while Ocoee remained unbeaten as well with a tough win over Lake Nona. | | | | | The Miami Hurricanes took care of business with a blowout win over FCS Bethune-Cookman, getting strong performances from Carson Beck, Mark Fletcher Jr. | | | | | The Seminoles posted their most points in the Mike Norvell era. | | | | | The freshman linebacker remains stable but in critical condition at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, where he had surgery for a gunshot to the back of his head. | | | | | The last time these two teams faced off, Orlando emerged with a 6-0 win in March. | | | | | USF coach Jim Leavitt was fired in 2010 for grabbing walk-on player Joel Miller by the throat and slapping him in the locker room. | | | | | It's only one of 17 games, but Sunday's opener against the Colts offers the first sample of justification for Miami's offseason changes. | | | | | The setback to the hip of Dolphins tight end Darren Waller may only keep him out for the short term, Miami's roster moves Saturday revealed. | | | | | Sunday opens the gift of a new Dolphins season and it's your choice in these final hours before reality hits to see whatever you want in this team: dark clouds or silver linings. | | | | | Cleveland won a second straight game at Tampa. | | | |
