No. 19 Arizona faces No. 16 Utah with Pac-12 championship game hopes still intact

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 06:09:56 GMT

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — No. 19 Arizona’s rise from being one of the nation’s worst teams two years ago to being in position to potentially play in the Pac-12 championship game has caused a predictable response.Namely, rumors about Jedd Fisch leaving the program for another job.The Wildcats’ coach is having none of it.“This time of year, when you’re successful and your team is playing, well, that’s what happens,” Fisch said. “I think our only focus is beating Utah, this is a great team coming in.”The Wildcats (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12, No. 17 CFP) are certainly going to need it against one of the nation’s best defensive teams.Heading into Saturday’s game, No. 16 Utah (7-3, 4-3) is in the top-20 nationally in first down and third down defense, rushing defense, scoring defense and total defense. But for all the Utes have done on defense, it hasn’t been enough to put them in position to win a third straight Pac-12 title.Utah arrives in the desert with two l...

Wake Forest (4-6) at No. 20 Notre Dame (7-3, No. 19 CFP), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. EST (NBC)Line: Notre Dame by 24 ½, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.Series record: Notre Dame 4-0.WHAT’S AT STAKE?Notre Dame hosts Wake Forest on Saturday, looking to bounce back after a disappointing road loss to Clemson two weeks ago. The Fighting Irish are 4-0 all-time against the Demon Deacons. Their last matchup came in 2018 when Notre Dame defeated Wake Forest and its freshman starting quarterback Sam Hartman, 56-27. FanDuel Sportsbook favors the Irish to pick up another multi-touchdown victory, this time with Hartman on their roster after transferring to South Bend in the offseason. Coach Dave Clawson desperately hopes to upset his former quarterback as Wake Forest needs to win out to become bowl eligible. KEY MATCHUPThe Wake Forest offense has struggled this season, so it’s on defense to ensure Saturday is a low-scoring affair. That’s not out of the question, given Hartman’s recent play for the Iris...

Miami Dolphins release veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 06:09:56 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have released veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen, the team announced Thursday.Chosen signed with Miami as a free agent in April, was released as part of roster cuts in August and later re-signed to the practice squad. He appeared in four games for the Dolphins, including in Week 3 against the Broncos when he caught a 68-yard touchdown in a 70-20 blowout. Chosen has been a healthy scratch the past three games and apparently became expendable when the team activated receiver River Cracraft from injured reserve on Tuesday.Chosen, who has played eight seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets (2016-19), Carolina Panthers (2020-22), Arizona Cardinals and Dolphins.The move could mean the Dolphins are making room on the roster for rookie running back De’Von Achane, whom Miami designated to return from injured reserve on Monday. Achane has missed the past four games with a knee injury.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSource

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels, the preseason Big 12 player of the year who has been sidelined by a back injury, said Thursday that he intends to return to the Jayhawks next season amid speculation that he could enter the transfer portal.Daniels emerged as a Heisman Trophy candidate early last season, when he led the long-suffering Jayhawks to a 5-0 start. But he hurt his shoulder in a game against TCU and missed more than a month. Daniels returned in time to lead Kansas against Texas and Kansas State, along with a wild triple-overtime loss to Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl.Daniels threw for 544 yards and five TDs while running for another score against the Razorbacks.Rather than his shoulder, though, it has been Daniels’ back that has caused problems. It began to bother him during fall camp, forcing Jason Bean to start the opener against Missouri State, before Daniels returned to lead the Jayhawks to wins over Illinois, Nevada and BYU.
