Brent Venables reveals why more players were involved against Florida

The Oklahoma Sooners looked more efficient on offense last weekend against the Florida Gators than they had all season long. The Sooners beat the Gators on the road, 23-7, and gained over 350 yards of offense. Tight ends coach Jason Witten called the game after being promoted to interim offensive coordinator following Ben Arbuckle's firing . He emphasized getting more players involved. Against Florida, eight players caught at least one pass, with five catching at least three. Two of those were Jacob Jordan and Parker Livingstone, who had played sparingly this season. Jordan especially shined, catching four passes for 36 yards. All four passes were on third down and went for first downs. Head coach Brent Venables said the increased involvement for players like Jordan and Livingstone was intentional. "I think they've been good practice players," Venables said. "I think they've shown a body of work over the last several months that Coach Witten recognized and made it a point to make sure that you get players involved. I think the earlier that you can do that, it just creates more synergy, more emotion, more stick-to-itiveness, more belief, more strain, more finish. The more guys that feel like they're involved."

‘Super slammed’: Brewing Thoughts sees surge after Streatery opens

Less than a week after the city’s long-awaited Streatery opened, downtown coffee shop Brewing Thoughts has already felt the effects, with its co-owner describing business as “super slammed.” With a blanket of stars overhead and strands of dimly lit orange and blue string lights illuminating the plaza, several Gainesville city commissioners, officials and Alachua County Commissioner Marihelen Wheeler cut the ribbon Nov. 6, ending a more than six-year wait for a project first conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic to expand outdoor dining. The Streatery, which stretches along Southwest First Avenue between Southwest Second Street and South Main Street, converts the former roadway into a walkable pedestrian plaza with overhead string lighting, new landscaping, enhanced tree canopies and upgraded stormwater drainage infrastructure. Construction crews began fencing off sections of Southwest First Avenue on April 13. The Nov. 6 ribbon cutting marked the end of nearly seven months of construction and the completion of another effort to create more pedestrian-friendly spaces downtown. Businesses along the Streatery include The Bull, Loosey’s, Capone’s, Nest + Nibble, Lor Kebab and Brewing Thoughts. Brewing Thoughts co-owner Titan Wojciak, a UF electrical engineering student, told The Sun on Nov. 9 that he and his girlfriend and fellow

ESPN's latest bracketology delivers interesting FSU outlook

Florida State men's basketball has opened the 2026-27 season with consecutive victories, but the Seminoles still have work to do to convince ESPN's Joe Lunardi they belong in the NCAA Tournament. In his latest bracketology update released Tuesday, Lunardi placed Florida State among the "Next Four Out," ranking the Seminoles at No. 81 overall and outside the projected 76-team NCAA Tournament field. The projection comes just hours before Florida State (2-0) hosts the No. 1 Florida Gators (2-0) , which Lunardi lists as the No. 1 overall seed in his projected tournament bracket. The Seminoles have made a strong early impression under second-year head coach Luke Loucks, opening with a 113-69 victory over Florida A&M before defeating Troy 91-68. FSU has yet to trail through two games and is averaging 102 points per contest. Sophomore forward Sebastian Rancik has emerged as the team's leading scorer, averaging 21.5 points per game, while freshman center Marcis Ponder has recorded double-doubles in both appearances. Despite that production, Lunardi's projection suggests Florida State remains on the outside looking in as the program attempts to return to March Madness for the first time since 2021. pic.twitter.com/yQGGk0iAOU — Joe Lunardi (@ESPNLunardi) November 10, 2026 However, Tuesday's
