San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore had 134 total yards and a touchdown against the Colts in Week 8.
CAPTIONBy Brent Smith, ReutersMiami Hurricanes alum Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers rushed for a touchdown in the first quarter of San Francisco's 18-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
No big deal? Typically no, except it was the 113th consecutive week in the NFL that a former Hurricane scored a touchdown. That is more than 6½ seasons without missing a weekend.
Pro-football-reference.com lists every touchdown scored since 1940, so unless a team such as Army or Notre Dame can claim a longer streak before World War II, 113 games is the longest such streak. Here are the top streaks of 40 games or more:
School Start year, week to end year, week Streak
Miami (Fla.) 2002, Week 15 to present 113 games
Ohio State 1996, Week 10 to 2001, Week 6 82 games
Michigan 1996, Week 14 to 2001, Week 1 73 games
Southern California 1978, Week 2 to 1982, Week 3 66 games
LSU 1986, Week 14 to 1989, Week 16 50 games
Notre Dame 1994, Week 14 to 1997, Week 2 40 games
Closest team is 31 weeks behind. Notice FLORIDA is not on the list. Guess if you play a gimmick offense like the run and shoot or the spread, you aren't ready for the NFL!

Will UM avoid another late-season stumble?
Randy Phillips laughed at my question even though I didn't mean for it to sound funny. If you had to estimate the level of pain you are playing with -- what would you say it is? Instead of answering the question, Miami's senior safety showed me how much his torn labrum and rotator cuff limit his...

SPORTS PEOPLE; S.E.C. Expansion

If the Southeastern Conference has his way, the 10-school conference will soon be adding at least two members, splitting into two divisions and holding a division playoff game to decide which football team goes to the Sugar Bowl.
The presidents of the 10 schools voted in favor of expansion last Wednesday, and the S.E.C. commissioner, Roy Kramer, wasted no time in seeking to recruit new members. The next day he contacted Bernard Sliger, the president of Florida State, one of the prime prospective new members. Others include Miami and South Carolina, both independent in football, and Arkansas, a member of the scandal-ridden Southwest Conference.
The prospect that Florida State, which is independent in football and a member of the Metro Conference in basketball and other sports, might join the S.E.C., drew varying responses from its top coaches.
The basketball coach, Pat Kennedy, said he doubted that joining the S.E.C. would be in Florida State's best interests.
The football coach, Bobby Bowden, said he was liked the idea and told The Tampa Tribune that an invitation would be ''mighty hard to decline.'' After all, he noted, Florida State has tried to join the S.E.C. many times.(AP)

Gators-Canes: The rivalry that isn't
It's ridiculous, really. We live in a hotbed for college football. The best of the best. The Big Three,we like to say. So why aren't Florida and Miami playing each other every year? I know it's tough for Florida to give up an extra home date every other year. Sure it's big money, but what do th...

A 12-PIECE PUZZLE
By MICHAEL DIROCCO
The Times-Union,
GAINESVILLE -- Expect the Florida-Miami football rivalry to resume, but not every year. And not always in Gainesville or Miami.
The NCAA recently approved a 12th football game for all Division I-A schools beginning in 2006. Now it's up to Florida and Miami officials to determine how and how often to resume the series.
The Gators don't want to play the Hurricanes every year, and Florida officials would like to play neutral-site games, possibly in Orlando or Tampa, in addition to playing home-and-home.
"At some point we're interested in exploring options with Miami,'' Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said.
Though there is speculation that the Gators and Hurricanes will meet in 2008, Foley said he and Miami athletic director Paul Dee have not had preliminary discussions about scheduling. The teams played the past three seasons, and the Hurricanes won all three (41-16 in 2002, 38-33 in 2003, and 27-10 in the 2004 Peach Bowl). Before that, the teams last met in the 1987 regular season.
Foley said UF cannot schedule Miami in 2006, but playing in 2007 is a possibility. Florida needs to add an opponent for 2006, but the only open dates are Oct. 21 and after the Florida State game.
The Gators had avoided scheduling Miami and other elite non-conference opponents because of the rigors of the Southeastern Conference schedule and the annual game against Florida State, especially after the addition of the SEC Championship Game in 1992. UF scheduled Miami in 2002 and 2003 because the NCAA allowed schools to have 12 regular-season games those two years.
"The issue we need to realize is we already do that [play a quality non-conference opponent],'' Foley said. "It's called Florida State. With our situation with Auburn coming in on the schedule in a couple years [2006 and 2007], we've got to look at the whole picture.
"In a perfect world, everybody wants us to play Southern Cal and Oklahoma. Look at our [future] schedule. Would you want to add those teams [to an already tough SEC schedule plus FSU]?''
Gators fans hoping for more matchups against Miami can be optimistic after the addition of a 12th game. BOB SELF/file
Foley said it is to premature to assume that Florida would schedule games against Miami or a similar non-conference opponent five or six times in a 10-year period and fill the remaining slots with smaller schools and Division I-AA teams. But it's a good bet the Gators will schedule more than a few "directional schools" for their 12th game.
Florida projects to net at least $1.6 million for each home game in 2006, and it's hard to turn that kind of money down five years out of 10, which is what would happen if UF signed home-and-home contracts with Miami or another elite non-conference team.
In fact, it's likely the Gators will play a lesser-known non-conference opponent in 2006, and probably 2007, too.
"We've got to find somebody that wants to come to Florida Field those two years in all likelihood,'' Foley said.
Both could be Division I-AA teams. The NCAA's Board of Directors also approved a rule that allows teams to count one victory a year over a I-AA team toward bowl eligibility.
Miami coach Larry Coker said the 'Canes would like to take a similar approach, especially now that the ACC has expanded and will also have a championship game.
"We would like to have 11 light teams,'' Coker joked. "But I can't find those. They don't want to play. For us, we have to schedule quality opponents. I know we've got Texas A&M coming up [2007-'08]. We've got Ohio State coming up [2010]. We've got Colorado coming into the Orange Bowl this year.
"We'll have a strong schedule, and we will add someone I'm sure is very competitive [and a] very good football name.''
Such as Florida -- occasionally.

Last year the talk was that Marve and Harris were always neck and neck; no clear cut distinction between them. Either somebody was not exactly telling the truth or Jascory did a lot of growing up since last season. One thing I do know is that the way Harris scans the whole field is a lot better than when Marve would check his primary receiver and then take off if the receiver was covered. I think it was Jim Kelly or someone of that caliber saying that during one of the games last year.
Canes finally free to gush about Jacory
Raising a question about Jacory Harris last season at the University of Miami felt a lot like asking a parent to single out one of their twins. Everytime you brought up him up, Robert Marve would find his way into the discussion. There is no need to be politically correct about which quarter...
Where were Randy's mistakes??? Timeouts were called on the field, not by the coaches on the sidelines. Timeouts were called when Jacory came to the line and didn't like what he saw. Then there was the defensive time out because they didn't have the right complement of players on the field. No time management problems unless you want to call that last TD time management problems (personally I think they scored too early. 1:58 left on the clock and coop run's it in from 5 yards out. They should have milked the clock for an additional minute 30 or so). Yeah Bosher has the leg but was it a tired leg?? Finally, the one bad thing I saw in the game was the cramping. Usually it's the other teams that have those kind of problems. What gives?? Gotta hydrate starting a day or so out so you don't get the cramps. Overall a good start to the season.
ESPN, do you really look at the teams or do you have your heads so far up teblow's posterior that you can't see daylight.
Hey jonathan, if it's so easy to recruit south florida, then why didn't Coker get anybody???
Harris was "numb" to pressure, pain
TALLAHASSEE -- Playing in big games and events can make some of the greatest athletes in sports physically uncomfortable. Nerves can make them feel sick, drive them to point the of total ineptitude. Jacory Harris wasn't born with that trait in his DNA. Playing in front of 81,077 at Florida Sta...
