12/18/22 - DT *Mazi Smith, Jr/2023, Michigan + More +

Sentencing for Michigan defensive tackle Mazi Smith, who had faced a felony concealed weapons charge and pleaded down to a misdemeanor charge during a probable-cause hearing last week, has been moved to Jan. 12. Smith was to have been sentenced Dec. 29 via Zoom in Washtenaw County 15th District Court before Judge Karen Valvo while he and the team are in Arizona for a national semifinal playoff game. An order was signed Wednesday to adjourn the sentencing and the new date appeared in online court records on Thursday. He will be sentenced under Michigan's Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. After Smith's Oct. 7 arrest, he left with the team and played at Indiana on Oct. 8.

The senior co-captain has not faced suspension from Michigan since his arrest. He was arraigned two days before Michigan's appearance in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 3 and played. Michigan is now preparing for a national semifinal game on Dec. 31 in Arizona - Smith's original sentencing date was scheduled two days before. Smith now will have a pre-sentencing interview Jan. 3 ahead of the Jan. 12 sentencing. If Michigan wins the semifinal, it advances to the national title game on Jan. 9. Also of note, the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL Draft is Jan. 16 and Smith is eligible to head to the NFL. A Michigan football spokesman has said there is no change in Smith's status with the team. - Detroit News

12/17/22 - QB Mark Gronowski, rSr/2026, Iowa + More +

Mark Gronowski threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third and top-seeded South Dakota State dominated fourth-seeded Montana State 39-18 on a frozen field Saturday in the FCS semifinals. The Jackrabbits (13-1), who have won 13 straight, head to Texas next month for a Missouri Valley Football Conference showdown with third-seeded North Dakota State (12-2). SDSU beat the defending national champion Bison 23-21 on Oct. 15. Gronowski led South Dakota State to touchdowns on its first five drives with a balanced offense that had 281 yards rushing and 192 passing. On the other side, the Jackrabbits' nation-best rushing defense (85.4 yards a game) held the nation's best rushing offense (331.8) to 52 yards.

The game started with the temperature at 10 degrees and the wind chill at minus-7. It was the coldest game ever played at South Dakota State. It was the third straight semifinal for the two teams. SDSU avenged a 31-17 loss last year at MSU. The teams swapped touchdowns on their opening drives and then the Jackrabbits scored three straight touchdowns, shocking the Bobcats with two long scoring runs for a 28-9 lead at the half. Gronowski, who had a 36-yard hookup with Tucker Kraft to open the scoring, capped a 12-play, 69-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge on the second drive. That gave him a rushing and passing TD in the same game nine times this season. The next two touchdowns were a 41-yard burst up the middle by Isaiah Davis and a 38-yard scamper by Amar Johnson on a field that played like a skating rink. Gronowski finished 10-of-13 passing for 189 yards and Davis ran for 158. - South Dakota State/AP College Football

12/17/22 - QB Davius Richard, rSr/2024, North Carolina Central + More +

Quarterback Davius Richard ran for 97 yards and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard scoring plunge in overtime, and North Carolina Central beat Jackson State 41-34 in Saturday's Celebration Bowl to spoil coach Deion Sanders' bid for an undefeated season in his final game with the Tigers. The Eagles' defense made a goal-line stand on Jackson State's first overtime possession to preserve the win. Tight end Hayden Hagler's drop on third down from the 1 set up an incompletion by Jackson State quarterback Shedeur Sanders to end the game regarded as the championship of teams from historically Black college and universities. Sanders' 19-yard touchdown pass to Travis Hunter as time expired in regulation set up Alejandro Mata's tying extra point to send the game to overtime. It was the fourth scoring pass of the game for Sanders, who also ran for a score.

Jackson State (12-1) was denied its bid for the first undefeated season in school history. Coach Deion Sanders is taking over the football program at Colorado, but wanted to finish the season with his Tigers first. Shedeur Sanders will accompany his father to Boulder. The win by N.C. Central (10-2) gave the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference a 6-1 edge over teams from the Southwestern Athletic Conference in the Celebration Bowl. Latrell Collier's 7-yard scoring run with 4:31 remaining gave NCCU the lead. The Tigers answered with a 15-play drive that included Sanders' 10-yard, fourth-down pass to T.J. Martin. Richard passed for 177 yards with a touchdown and ran for 97 yards and two scores. Richard showed his versatility on a three-yard drive for game's first touchdown. Richard had a 21-yard run, a 30-yard catch on a trick play and a 5-yard scoring run that gave the Eagles a 10-0 lead. - NC Central/AP College Football
