College Football

Carson Beck reflected on his transformative year at Miami, after a tough loss in the College Football Playoff national championship on Monday. Beck's final college pass was an interception, sealing Miami's 27-21 defeat to Indiana.

Brown said it was a choice of staying at USF or going to Auburn, and "sometimes the best thing is to move on." He is looking forward to showcasing his skill set and winning in the SEC.

Lucas Carneiro kicked a 47-yard field goal with 6 seconds left to put No. 6 Mississippi in front for good in a 39-34 victory over third-ranked Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.

Mark Gronowski threw two touchdowns and rushed for another to lead Iowa to a 34-27 win over No. 13 Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium.

In addition to selecting the former UF and Ohio State coach, the governor reappointed Mark Bauerlein and Debra Jenks to the board of the Sarasota school. Appointments require state Senate confirmation.

The record-setting quarterback made the announcement in a social media post in which he thanked coaches, teammates and fans, saying “USF will always be HOME."

In a matchup of second-string QBs, USF's Gaston Moore's first college start ended in the fourth quarter due to injury while ODU's Quinn Henicle ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns.

After years as a backup at Tennessee and USF, Gaston Moore replaces record-setter Byrum Brown, who won't play but will assist interim head coach Kevin Patrick against Old Dominion.

From debates on energy and environmental risks to rescued books, basketball legends, and college football thrills, "Florida Matters Live & Local" celebrates curiosity, community and local stories.

Brown made the decision after discussions with new head coach Brian Hartline, but he will be on the sideline assisting interim coach Kevin Patrick, according to Athletics CEO Rob Higgins.

Brian Hartline’s plan will begin with bonding with the team. He added it has been difficult juggling responsibilities between USF and Ohio State, where he will finish out the postseason.

Vanderbilt, which is making only its 11th postseason appearance ever, will play Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl, while Memphis and N.C. State are slated for the Gasparilla Bowl.
