| | | | FSU's Jordan Travis is 'Tiger King' we can embrace | Gators' much-improved D aims to limit Kentucky's big plays | UCF will host 2023 Cure Bowl at FBC Mortgage Stadium | | | | Travis's NIL people have created a line of "College King" T-shirts that depict Travis sitting on a throne wearing a crown as two tigers (one in Clemson orange and the other in LSU gold) rest at his feet. The shirts are priced at $31.24 — the score of Saturday's win over Clemson. | | | | | After taking a hit at Boston College and a few more against Clemson, QB Jordan Travis looked good as new in Tuesday's practice, putting any injury concerns to rest with an efficient day throwing the ball but also showing off his wheels in eluding pressure. | | | | | Kentucky's 13 plays of 30 yards or longer are 4th in the SEC. Florida has allowed 6 to rank third, a season after finishing ahead of only Ole Miss. | | | | | UCF dropped to No. 6 in the latest Big 12 power rankings after the Knights suffered their first loss of the season at Kansas State, 44-31. | | | | | The game, which previously was held at Exploria Stadium and Camping World Stadium downtown, moves to UCF's campus on Dec. 16. It will air on ABC for the first time in its nine-year run, making the move from ESPN2. | | | | | The 21 from the Orlando area include national power Montverde Academy, Oak Ridge, Orlando Christian Prep, Olympia, Windermere, Windermere Prep, West Oaks, Lake Highland Prep, Leesburg, Ocoee, Apopka, Colonial, Edgewater and Evans. | | | | | Among girls volleyball winners on Wednesday were Kissimmee Osceola, Windermere and Trinity Prep, while Olympia and Hagerty had boys golf wins. Winter Park also notched a girls golf win. | | | | | The world seemed pretty sure of that long before the coin flip, which is how the Tampa Bay Bucs ended up as a five-point underdog even when they were undefeated and playing at home. This is not their time, and the NFC championship is not their destiny. | | | | | Although the Rays didn't clinch anything on Wednesday, the music was blaring, bottles were popping and cigars were lit. | | | | | French legend Zinedine Zidane, Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, and Dynamo co-owner James Harden were among the dignitaries in attendance. | | | |
