Ex-‘Bama QB (again) named as Toledo’s starter

An injury derailed Phillip Ely‘s first season in Toledo. Fortunately, he’s going to get another go at it.

The Rockets confirmed Monday that Ely will start the program’s opener this Thursday against Stony Brook. The move comes a handful of days after Ely was named as one of four UT captains for the 2015 season. Ely beat out Logan Woodside, who went 8-2 as a starter for the Rockets last season.

Watching that Inside College Football on Cbssports now, previewing the opening week. I always kind of liked this show, their talking heads are often superior to those on the worldwideespins.

Report: George O’Leary wants to step down as HC at season’s end, assume full-time AD role

If George O’Leary gets his way, UCF will, in a few months, be searching for its first new head coach in over a decade.

In June of this year, O’Leary added the title of interim athletic director to his full-time job as head coach of the Knights. O’Leary has since hinted that he would like to assume the AD job full-time whenever his coaching career is done, which, as it turns out, may be sooner rather than later.

Citing two school officials with direct knowledge of the situation, Dan Wolken of USA Today reports that “O’Leary… has expressed a strong desire to assume the [AD] position full-time and step down as football coach at the end of this season.” A national search for a permanent AD is reportedly on hold as university leaders mull over the O’Leary option.

Should O’Leary land the full-time job — it appears that’s far from a guarantee as, even as he has the support of the president, others are opposed — he intends to promote offensive coordinator Brent Key to head coach. Key is set to enter his 11th season on O’Leary’s Knights coaching staff.

Memphis suspends six connected to Miami Beach Brawl

Monday, Memphis head coach Justin Fuente announced six players are facing game suspensions because of their actions in the infamous post-game Miami Beach Bowl brawl. The official move comes seven months after Fuente announced that a dozen unnamed players would be facing various suspensions/sanctions for their roles.

The stiffest suspension was doled out to starting linebacker Leonard Pegues, who will have to sit for the first 1.5 games of the season. The senior will be forced to sit out the entire opener against Missouri State this Saturday, then the first half of the Kansas game the following weekend.

Additionally, defensive tackle Isadore Outing has been suspended for the opener for his role. Outing took a redshirt as a true freshman, and wasn’t listed on the two-deep depth chart.

Finally, four players were slapped with half-game suspensions: defensive back Chauncey Lanier and offensive linemen Michael Stannard, Trevon Tate and Nick Thomas. Lanier is the only starter in that sextet.

Kansas dismisses DB Boateng for violating team rules

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has dismissed cornerback Matthew Boateng for an undisclosed violation of team rules just three days before the Jayhawks open the season against South Dakota State.

Jayhawks coach David Beaty announced the decision in a brief statement Wednesday.

Boateng, a sophomore from Toronto, played in eight games as a freshman, making nine tackles with an interception and forced fumble. But exactly where he was on the Jayhawks' depth chart was unknown because Beaty has yet to release one to the media.

Still, the loss of any experience is a blow to the Jayhawks. They return just four starters from last season, and more than two dozen players are expected to make their Division I debut on Saturday against the Jackrabbits.
