Send a link to a friend
 [September 19, 2018]
Stanford star running back Bryce
Love will return for Saturday's game at Oregon, Cardinal coach David
Shaw said Tuesday on the Pac-12 coaches teleconference.
Love missed the game last Saturday game against UC Davis with an
undisclosed injury. He apparently was injured in the fourth quarter
of the Sept. 8 game against Southern California.
"Bryce is great," Shaw said as the No. 7 Cardinal and No. 20 Ducks
are 3-0 heading into the showdown in Eugene, Ore. "He's ready to go
and fired up for this weekend."
Love, a senior, entered the season as a leading Heisman Trophy
candidate but has just 165 rushing yards. He was held to 29 yards by
San Diego State in the season opener and followed up with 136
against USC.
--Miami sophomore tight end Brian Polendey has been lost for the
season due to an injury to his right knee, the school announced.
Polendey will undergo surgery to repair the damage. The type of
injury suffered wasn't revealed.
Polendey missed last Saturday's game with Toledo. He caught one pass
for 14 yards this season.
--After getting an unexpected weekend off, No. 16 UCF (2-0) will
return to the field when it hosts Florida Atlantic (2-1) on Friday
night.

The kickoff for the ESPN game at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando is at 7
p.m. ET.
The Knights have not played since shutting out South Carolina State
38-0 at home in the season's second weekend to stretch their winning
streak to 15 games. Their scheduled game at North Carolina last week
was canceled because of the impending threat of Hurricane Florence.
