Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 21, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

The No. 13 Hurricanes have been hit hard by the injury bug in recent weeks, but some players may get back on the field when UM travels to play Virginia Tech this weekend.

Paul Rubelt stood staring at the blank whiteboard, pen in hand, and immediately knew he was in trouble. As a freshman offensive lineman, Rubelt was asked by his UCF coaches to diagram the differences between an even and odd front. For someone born and raised in Germany, who didn’t grow up playing American football until his teens, it was all new to him. “I was standing there thinking: I’m not going to last a year. I don’t know the simplest thing about football,” Rubelt said recently to the Sentinel. Nearly six seasons later, Rubelt is one of 25 seniors to be honored as part of UCF’s Senior...

The Miami Hurricanes had one of their best performances of the season in their win over N.C. State on Saturday, and it helped them further inch up the College Football Playoff rankings. Miami moved up from No. 15 last week to No. 13 on Tuesday, moving UM closer to its first-ever berth in the College Football Playoff after a week of lobbying from the ACC. Similar to the previous rankings, the Hurricanes are the top-ranked ACC team, which means the projected bracket puts Miami in the playoff. But that projection assumes the Hurricanes will be the ACC champion, and Miami is unlikely to reach...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 18, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

When Jamichael Stillwell began his basketball career, all the 6-foot-8, 245-pound UCF forward knew how to do was rebound and defend. Stillwell quickly developed his shooting touch and, throughout much of his career, he was a double-double machine, averaging 13 points and 10.7 rebounds per game at Milwaukee last season. The junior recorded his first double-double of the season, scoring 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Knights to an 87-83 win over visiting Oakland Monday night at Addition Financial Arena. It was Stillwell’s 17th career double-double and his 20th game with double-digits...

MIAMI GARDENS — Transfer defensive back Keionte Scott has been a revelation for Miami’s defense this season, but the Hurricanes may have to play without him for some time. The senior nickelback suffered a “serious” injury, UM coach Mario Cristobal said after the Hurricanes’ blowout win over N.C. State on Saturday. Scott was wearing a walking boot on his right foot when he was on the field before the game. “You miss him,” Cristobal said. “It’s a serious injury and it’s one that’s heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching, really.” Scott, who arrived in the summer after last playing at Auburn, has...

GAINESVILLE — Florida forward Thomas Haugh and point guard Boogie Fland joined forces to lead the No. 10 Gators to a come-from-behind win against Florida State.

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 12, 2025. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Hurricanes, Sports.

If the College Football Playoffs started this week, Miami would qualify for the College Football Playoff — just barely. Because Miami is currently the top-ranked team in the ACC, the Hurricanes currently project as the No. 11 seed in the playoffs. The College Football Playoff selection committee moved Miami up to No. 15 in this week’s rankings after putting Miami at No. 18 last week. In the projected bracket, the Hurricanes would travel to play No. 6 Texas Tech in the first round of the playoff. “We had some teams lose, and again, the conversation with Miami has been about their...
