UCF football rebuilds running backs group through transfer portal

-
No position group on the offensive side of the UCF roster — outside of quarterback and offensive line — generated more interest this past offseason than the running backs. The Knights finished 11th among the 16 teams in the Big 12 in rushing offense last season, after averaging 158 yards per game. Myles Montgomery led the team in carries (143) and rushing yards (705) while fellow redshirt senior Jaden Nixon had a team-high seven rushing touchdowns on 71 carries with 554 yards. Nobody else on the roster had more than 170 yards. The departures of Montgomery and Nixon, along with the transfer of Stacy Gage (63 yards), left the running backs group a bit short on depth and experience. Taevion Swint , who suffered a season-ending injury in fall camp, walk-on Agyeman Addae and true freshman Chance Nixon were the only returners back in 2026. Addae was the only one who saw action, rushing for 50 yards on 12 carries in eight games. UCF dipped into the transfer market when the portal wind...

Defensive tackle Jethro Pugh out of Elizabeth (N.C.) City State was the first small-school standout for the Cowboys when he was drafted in 1964. Since then the Cowboys have compiled an impressive list of small-school talent that includes Hall of Fame OT Rayfield Wright out of Fort Valley State, HoF OG Larry Allen out of Sonoma State, and numerous Pro Bowlers. More recently, small-school prospects continued to make the roster in Dallas. DeMarcus Ware (Troy), Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois), Miles Austin (Monmouth), Barry Church (Toledo), and Jeff Heath (Saginaw Valley St.) went on to fame and fortune in Dallas. Granted, outside of DeMarcus Ware, a...

Tennessee softball earns unanimous No. 1 ranking for first time ever

-
Tennessee softball is the new No. 1 team in the country after a blazing hot start to the season. The Lady Vols were the only team to go undefeated at the Clearwater Invitational , which had 10 ranked teams in the field. Tennessee notched four ranked wins over the weekend to improve to 10-0 on the season. The Lady Vols were the consensus No. 1 team in all four major polls this week for the first time ever. The NFCA, USA Softball, Softball America and D1 Softball all had Tennessee at the top of their rankings, and it's the first time since Feb. 11, 2014 that UT has been No. 1 in the NFCA poll. Tennessee's six wins over teams ranked in the NFCA Top 25 is the most through the first 10 games of a season in program history. The Lady Vols are outscoring opponents 76-4, and the four runs allowed through 10 games are the fewest by a Tennessee pitching staff to start a season since 2005 when legendary pitcher Monica Abbott was in the circle. Tennessee's five wins at the Clea...

Video: Juventus directors insulted after Inter Milan’s winner Top Juventus officials had to be escorted out of the stands as Inter fans took their celebrations too far after Piotr Zielinski’s winner. The Derby d’Italia turned out to be a fiery affair, and it all stemmed from a costly refereeing mistake towards the end of the first half. Piotr Zielinski (Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images) While the result was still 1-1, Federico La Penna showed Pierre Kalulu a second yellow for blocking Alessandro Bastoni’s run. However, the replays proved that the French defender hardly touched his Italian counterpart. Former Serie A referee Luca Marelli argued that  VAR should have intervened to send off Bastoni for a simulation, as he was already on a yellow. Inter supporters insult Juventus officials This episode was followed by a heated confrontation in the tunnel between La Penna, on one hand, and Luciano Spalletti and the Juventus officials on the other. However, this wasn’t the...

Opinion: Playing under a new coach at Marseille is good for Nwaneri

Opinion: Playing under a new coach at Marseille is good for Nwaneri Ethan Nwaneri is likely to be the most disappointed Olympique Marseille player following Roberto de Zerbi’s departure as the club’s manager . The Italian played a decisive role in Arsenal’s decision to sanction the youngster’s loan move, largely because of his established reputation for improving players and nurturing emerging talent. Mikel Arteta placed considerable trust in De Zerbi to oversee Nwaneri’s development and ensure that the Arsenal prospect continued to perform at a high level. Although Nwaneri is regarded as a gifted attacker, his limited opportunities at Arsenal were primarily due to a lack of experience rather than ability. A Strategic Loan Move This season represents a significant campaign for Arsenal, as they aim to compete strongly for major honours. Relying on experienced players has been central to that objective, which made a temporary move beneficial for Nwaneri’s growth. Regular football i...
