— app-uh-LATCH-in (not app-uh-LAY-chin)
— Kidd Brewer Stadium (no hyphen; Kidd Brewer was one person, not two last names)

Miami beat K-State by 8 on a neutral earlier this year, but I’d imagine Virginia throttling Miami tonight means the ACC is down and K-State beating KU is a sign the Big 12 is deep.

According to Sports Reference, no FBS player in 2019 has the season totals in all four categories of what Demetrius Taylor did in one game yesterday: 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 INT AND 1 fumble return for a TD.
One FBS player had all four of those totals for all of 2018.

Coach Moore worked out getting the game ball from the GW INT for Jackson and, with his artistic interests (see the Block A logo), carefully wrote the play-by-play from the official box score onto the ball before presenting it to Jackson. 🐐
“Always do more than expected.”
Last but not least, this year’s winner of the Jerry Moore Award, a player who embodies the characteristics of commitment, determination and toughness - Jackson Greene!
