The story of Florida State’s improvement in 2023 starts and ends with quarterback Jordan Travis.
As the Seminoles progressed from a 10-3 team to a 10-0 team, Travis improved from a good quarterback into a Heisman contender. He entered Saturday having thrown 20 touchdowns against just two interceptions on the season.
However, Travis exited Florida State’s game against North Alabama Saturday in catastrophic fashion.
ESPN college football analyst Dan Mullen asked one simple question late on Saturday afternoon:
“Are we sure that they have the right coach on the hot seat in LA,” Mullen posted on X.
Mullen’s post was sent in the midst of UCLA blowing the doors off USC, a game which the Bruins won 38–20 at the Coliseum to send the Trojans cratering to a 7-5 record.
All week, the focus was on reports of Chip Kelly’s job security at UCLA, as he entered the game against the rival Trojans squarely on the hot seat.
The Elite Ice Hockey League’s Nottingham Panthers took the ice on Friday for the first time since the death of forward Adam Johnson during a game late last month.
According to Sportsnet, the Panthers hosted the Manchester Storm at Norringham’s Motorpoint Arena. The game — which was streamed on YouTube for free — did not count for points in the EIHL standings, but was intended to serve as a memorial and a way to bring fans and players together.
Both teams wore special jerseys honoring Johnson.
Bo Nix and No. 6 Oregon got off to a hot start in the desert on Saturday, demolishing Arizona State on the road.
For Nix, the performance was one good enough to put one hand on the Heisman Trophy. Heading into the day, Nix was already the favorite to win the award, but with six touchdown passes in the first half alone against the Sun Devils, he put an exclamation point on his player résumé.
Nix completed 24 of his 29 passes on the day, throwing for 404 yards and six touchdowns. The six passing touchdowns tied an Oregon all-time record and was a career high for Nix.
After a 6-0 start, USC lost six of its final seven regular season games.
New Mexico State quarterback Diego Pavia is listed at six-feet tall. He weighs in at a slight 200 pounds. And, most crucially, he is a quarterback, and entered Saturday’s contest against Auburn without a tackle to his name.
However, Pavia is also something else—an accomplished former wrestler for Albuquerque’s Volcano Vista High School.
On Saturday, he demonstrated his grappling chops with a vicious slam on Tigers cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett.
After missing the past two games with a right knee sprain, Stephen Curry’s anticipated return to the lineup may finally be on the horizon as the Warriors prepare to face the Thunder.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr announced Saturday that the team expects Curry, 35, to play in Golden State’s home matchup against Oklahoma City after receiving clearance following a pre-game walkthrough.
Barring an unforeseen setback, Curry will resume what’s been another strong start to the superstar guard’s season, with the 14-year veteran averaging 30.7 points per game on 48.8/44.6/93.
The perfect season for James Madison has come to an end, losing to App State in overtime. It was the final play of the game in overtime that has many folks talking.
After a huge week of publicity, and with College Gameday on-campus, James Madison looked to force the NCAA into a further decision on bowl eligibility. After being denied the opportunity to play in the postseason because of an NCAA rule pertaining to teams making the leap to FBS level, emotions were high this week.
An Indiana Hoosiers cheerleader absolutely obliterated the competition in a St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail eating contest during the team’s game against the Michigan State Spartans.
Hopefully, a nice bottle of Pepto or a handful of Tums was nearby.
The competition appeared to consist of some band members and a cheerleader and it saw them gobbling shrimp and sucking down as much St. Elmo cocktail sauce as they possibly could.
Shrimp cocktail might be one of the last foods I’d ever wanted to eat a lot of in a short period of time.
