A fantastic story here on Miami, its siren and its swag www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Florida quarterback DJ Lagway is fine, coach Billy Napier says on the SEC teleconference. Just got stepped on the other day.

My 8 YO enjoyed this one today during breakfast

Sanford Stadium wasn't always a tough place to play: "The general vibe of an Athens game day was a lot more genteel." That's changed, say fans and opponents. Why? Winning, for one. But Georgia made other changes to make its home environment different: www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

NEWS: Oklahoma State has fired Mike Gundy, according to multiple reports. Gundy compiled a 170-90 record in 20+ seasons in Stillwater, including a 12-6 bowl game record. www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

However you quantify it, Arch Manning is alone at the top — the biggest celebrity college quarterback of the NIL era. And he’s navigating his first PR crisis. http://dlvr.it/TNF4H5

WSU’s Sone Falealo was shot Sunday at a party after the Apple Cup and is recovering after surgery, according to police and court documents. Pullman Police identified UW student Jakori Cezon Buchanan as the suspected shooter.

The ACC is moving to 9 conference games... mostly. The math doesn't work, so someone (or ones) will play 8 ACC games + 2 P4 games, per source. Still needs final approval. Story with @mattbakercfb.bsky.social https:// www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

I’m at USF, where they’re introducing new CEO of athletics Rob Higgins. His summary on the Bulls and where they are: “Screw one day, and screw potential…We have arrived.”

Days before the 2019 opener, App State assistant Shawn Clark convinced the staff to hike "The Knob." They won, so they did every game week, including when he became head coach. I did it with them once. An incredibly nice guy. He loved App so much. RIP. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Wow

The last time the Gators had fewer passing yards than they did tonight (61) was 2014 against South Carolina. The game that got Will Muschamp fired. Florida failed to convert on third down for the first time since 2016. www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

That was a scared money don't make money play call on fourth down for the Gators.

Feels like a good time to repost @davidubben.bsky.social's story on Syracuse coach Fran Brown www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

If there was any doubt Lee Corso was a national treasure, consider the alternative - whatever the heck that just was on GameDay

Ouch

Guys, I’m beginning to think Oklahoma State might not be very good at football this year

This is a really important question we aren’t talking about enough, IMO.

“I don’t think they realize what they are, and that’s what kills them.” UCLA imploded in 3 weeks, but the Bruins’ problems go way back. How do they fix it? The story on what’s wrong with UCLA football: www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

"The only (Indiana-Illinois) contest that impacted the Big Ten title race occurred in 1910. On that mid-November afternoon, Illinois quarterback Otto Seiler drop-kicked a 45-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter in a 3-0 win." So 1910 it hurts. www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

Florida RBs coach Jabbar Juluke has been suspended 3 games for his role in one of the 2 Florida-LSU pregame scuffles www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

Florida RB coach Jabbar Juluke has been suspended three games for his role in one of the Florida-LSU pregame scuffles, the SEC and Gators announce.

I don't know how my poor mutt will ever recover.

This week's Athletic 136: 2. Miami 21. Notre Dame 34. Cal 74. North Carolina 135. Akron Full list: www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

What's up with the SCORE Act, the most meaningful attempt at national legislation for college sports? One of its main sponsors, Rep. Gus Bilirakis, told me he expects a vote "soon," but he was spending the weekend trying to add more co-sponsors. www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

Glad to report that FSU linebacker Ethan Pritchard has opened his eyes, two weeks after being shot near Tallahassee. Still a long road ahead, HC Mike Norvell says, but: “It puts all things in perspective, the appreciation of a blink.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

🐻 Who are the names to watch at UCLA and how good is the job? The allure is there, but the financials and fan support are rough. Here is the Job Profile and potential candidates: www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

NEWS: UCLA has fired head coach DeShaun Foster after an 0-3 start. Foster was 5-10 in less than two seasons, an alum hired to the job after Chip Kelly left for the Ohio State OC job. Tim Skipper will serve as interim head coach.

Source: Virginia Tech fires Brent Pry as head coach. He was 16-24 in less than four seasons. His tenure began and ended with losses to Old Dominion. Story with @ralphdrussoath.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

✍️ COLUMN: The ACC letting fans hear the replay booth is awesome, and every conference should start doing this. Transparency is good for fans, plus it's entertaining TV. More: www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

Gunner Stockton’s breakout game raises the hopes — and ceiling — for Georgia www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

The good vibes are history for Notre Dame. And the 2025 season might be too. http://dlvr.it/TN44gF

Some grim numbers after the Gators’ 20-10 loss at No. 3 LSU beyond the obvious ($19.4 million at the end of the contract year, but more than that now) www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

LSU’s 316 yards of offense were the third fewest of BK’s tenure

If you’re wondering the state of Florida fans at the moment, the ones on my rental car shuttle to the airport this morning were talking about basketball and Tramell Jones.

Some quick takeaways on LSU 20, Florida 10 and what's next www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

LSU with a long pass play over the middle (again). 65 yards. Tigers are in the red zone, and it looks like it's time to write here in Baton Rouge

Spears' 58-yard INT for a TD makes it 20-10 Tigers with 8:08 left in the third

TD, LSU. Pick-six. Live, I thought he stepped out, but I could very well be wrong.

Tonight's attendance at Death Valley: 102,158

Patrick Payton has shown flashes of being the player he was at FSU in '23, not the player he was at FSU in '24. He teamed up on a third-down sack there for LSU

After all *that*, LSU hits a 45-yard FG to end the half Tigers 13 Gators 10

More shoving at Florida-LSU. My oh my

TD, Gators. Lagway to Mizell...AND then there's a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct on LSU for kicking the ball. Better than throwing a shoe, I guess?

TD, LSU. 23-yard pass. Tigers had big third-down conversions and then that TD, all in the middle of the field It's 9-3 LSU, PAT coming

E G A D

LSU nails a 47-yard FG to start the second. All tied at 3

End 1Q Florida 3 LSU 0 Tigers will attempt a FG when we resume
