UNC Football vs. UVA: How to watch South’s Oldest Rivalry

Saturday night’s UNC-UVA football game pits one of the ACC’s best (Carolina) against one of the ACC’s worst (UVA). See how you can watch it.

No matter how each team is doing in any given year, the UNC-UVA football rivalry has always proven to be an exciting matchup.

Just last year, Carolina won a 31-28 thriller in Charlottesville. The Drake Maye-Josh Downs connection was clicking, with Downs catching 15 of Maye’s 26 completions for 166 yards and a touchdown.

UVA only won three games, but the focus of its season became the unfortunate murdering of three former players. UNC improved to 8-1 after the victory, but only won one more game after.

The Tar Heels sit at 6-0 so far this year, with five of their wins coming against Power 5 teams. Carolina’s offense is among the country’s best, with Maye headlining the passing game, new receivers stepping up every week and Omarion Hampton cementing himself as one of the top young backs in college football.

UVA sits at just 1-5, but is coming off its first win, a 27-13 thumping of in-state rival William and Mary. Don’t be fooled by the Hoos’ record – three of their losses are by a combined seven points.

This should go down as an easy Tar Heel victory, but we’ve said that for plenty of past games. What UNC does NOT want to do is play down to its competition – see the Georgia Tech game last year.

Let’s take a look at what you need to know for the UNC-UVA clash.

Michigan basketball has five-star 2024 prospect on campus

Nice to get him on campus! #GoBlue

Michigan basketball lost Hunter Dickinson, officially, on Thursday after he announced he would attend Kansas for the upcoming basketball season. There was doubt the 7-footer would return to the Wolverines after entering the transfer portal, but Michigan fans were holding out hope Dickinson would change his mind after Juwan Howard brought in a solid transfer class to Ann Arbor.

While there was somber news on the Michigan front on Thursday, there was also positive news in terms of the 2024 recruiting class.

According to 247Sports’ Dushawn London, five-star combo guard Boogie Fland was on campus to take a visit with the Michigan basketball squad.

The 6-foot-3 guard hails from White Plains (New York) Archbishop Stepinac and is the sixth-ranked prospect in the class of 2024 according to the 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 2 combo guard and the second-ranked prospect in the state.

Michigan currently has one prospect committed to it for the 2024 class: four-star guard Christian Anderson.

With the losses of Kobe Bufkin, Jett Howard, and Hunter Dickinson, the Wolverines need to replenish the cupboard for future success. Landing a prospect of Fland’s caliber would go a long way.

UNC basketball vs. Boston College: Game preview, info, prediction and more

Our preview for Wednesday’s second round game between the UNC basketball program and Boston College.

The North Carolina Tar Heels find themselves in a position where they likely need to win four games in four days to make the NCAA Tournament. There’s potentially a scenario where three wins gets them in but it’s a tough path either way.

And that path begins on Wednesday night.

North Carolina’s first matchup in the 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament comes Wednesday night as they face No. 10 Boston College after the Eagles beat Louisville handily in Tuesday’s session.

The two teams met just once this season with North Carolina winning 72-64 in Chapel Hill. Boston College finished the year 9-11 in conference but did pickup a big win at home in late February, beating Virginia. This is a game where UNC will be favored but they cant look ahead to a potential Quad 1 opportunity against Virginia on Thursday. Instead, they need to take it one game at a time and take care of business on Wednesday night first.

This game is a big chance for UNC to start their run and show the conference that they are a legit threat for the tournament. Of course, it could go the other way and the disappointing season could pretty much end with an upset loss at the hands of Boston College.

Let’s get into our preview for the game.

UGA football names captains for national championship game

Who are Georgia’s captains for the national championship game against TCU?

The Georgia Bulldogs have a chance to win back-to-back national championships thanks to some excellent leadership. Georgia lost 15 players to the 2022 NFL draft, but fought hard to return to the national championship game.

Per BetMGM, Georgia enters the big game as a 13-point favorite over TCU. The over/under is set at 63.5 with the Georgia money line of minus-500 compared to plus-375 for the Horned Frogs.

Georgia relies on several veteran leaders. This will be the final time numerous players, such as Stetson Bennett, suit up for the Bulldogs. Georgia’s leaders will have an opportunity to go out on top.

Colts sign LB Tyrell Adams to practice squad

The Colts signed LB Tyrell Adams to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed linebacker Tyrell Adams to the practice squad and released tight end Darrell Daniels from the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

With Shaquille Leonard on the injured reserve list, the Colts are likely looking to add a bit more depth to the position. Adams, 30, has spent time with several teams throughout his career and even had a brief stop with the Colts in 2018.

Daniels was signed to the practice squad last week amid the injuries to the tight end room.

Colts’ Jonathan Taylor among four ruled out Week 9

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was among the four players ruled out Friday ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Taylor has been dealing with an ankle injury and while he was able to play through it during the last two games, he tweaked it again during the Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Taking Taylor’s place in the backfield will be Deon Jackson, who is likely to see a majority of the work in the backfield considering the new addition in Zack Moss likely isn’t ready to play yet.

Along with Taylor, head coach Frank Reich also ruled out quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder), linebacker Grant Stuard (pectoral) and cornerback Tony Brown (hamstring).

Preview and Predictions: Michigan vs. Michigan State

Let’s get Paul back! #GoBlue

Michigan football is set to host Michigan State on Saturday under the lights. For the second time ever in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines will face their in-state rival at night under the bright lights in Big House.

The Wolverines have lost two straight games to Michigan State — both of which Michigan was heavily favored — but the maize and blue hold a commanding lead in the all-time series, 71-38-5.

During his tenure, Jim Harbaugh is 3-4 against Michigan State and he is 0-2 against current coach Mel Tucker. During his press conference earlier in the week, Harbaugh made it known not only does his team really want his win, but he does as well. If Michigan wants to repeat as Big Ten champions and make another College Football Playoff, this is a must win.

The game will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. on ABC.

Colts elevate WRs Dezmon Patmon, Ethan Fernea to active roster

The Colts elevated two WRs from the practice squad for Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated wide receivers Dezmon Patmon and Ethan Fernea from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.

Considering the fact that Keke Coutee has been ruled out due to a concussion, the Colts made sure to bring up some depth for the wide receiver room.

Patmon will likely be working as the fifth wide receiver in the room while Fernea can offer some special teams work as a gunner.

Former Steeler Ryan Shazier thinks it’s about time for Ben Roethlisberger to hang it up

Ryan Shazier thinks Ben Roethlisberger should be done after the season.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbydbzmnr1bhxef player_id=none image=https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

On Wednesday, former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier was in the Tiki and Tierney Show on CBS Sports Radio and he talked about his former teammate Ben Roethlisberger and what he’s seeing from him.

“Sometimes the game will tell you when it’s time,” Shazier said. “And I love Ben, but I think next year may be time for him to step away from the game,”

Shazier noted that Roethlisberger is a quarterback who has made his name by the big play and those things just aren’t there anymore.

“Ben has been known for being those types of quarterbacks who is really tough to bring down, extend the plays, allow his team to make big plays because of how much of an athlete he was. He knew how to change the game. And I feel he’s losing a lot of that.”

Roethlisberger is having one of the worst seasons of his Hall of Fame career. Some of this can be attributed to all the young players around him but there’s no denying Big Ben isn’t the player he was even two or three seasons ago.
