Ohio minimum wage set to rise by 15 cents COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s hourly minimum wage is about to rise again, with the rate going up by 15 cents an hour Monday from $8.15 to $8.30. Workers who receive tips will get a wage increase from $4.08 an hour to $4.15. Policy Matters Ohio, a liberal leaning think tank, estimates 150,000 Ohio workers will beneﬁt from the increase. The organization also says nearly 500,000 workers earning slightly more than the minimum wage could also receive boosts in 2018 as employers adjust their pay rates. A Policy Matters Ohio researcher tells Cleveland.com that the wage hikes will help boost the state’s economy. Ohio is one of 18 states raising the minimum wage in 2018. The federal wage rate of $7.25 an hour will remain in effect next year. POMEROY — The local Senior Citizen’s Center is cancelling events for the week because of the extremely cold weather. The Meigs Council on Aging Inc. Senior Citizen’s Center has cancelled events for the seniors this week including craft day set for yesterday (Tuesday), bingo on Wednesday, and game day on Thursday. According to Rhonda Rathburn, who works in the transportation department at the center, the center is still open for those who wish to come in and eat a meal. Rathburn shared the center’s numbers for Tuesday were low and she is advising individuals with unsteady footing to stay at home in these current weather conditions. The below freezing temperatures and snow make traveling to and from the center dangerous, said Rathburn. She expressed that certain seniors who visit the center do not have help clearing their walkways during the winter months and that makes leaving their homes difﬁcult. Rathburn shared that during the winter months especially during the times of below freezing See EVENTS | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, January 3, 2018 Daily Sentinel MARTIN OBITUARIES JANET ELAINE CONNOLLY REEDSVILLE — Janet Elaine Connolly entered into rest on Monday, Jan. 1, 2018.

Looking to prevent a closure of federal agencies, top White House ofﬁcials planned to meet at the Capitol Wednesday with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and each chamber’s top Democrat. Their goal is to ﬁnd a compromise on raising limits on defense and domestic spending that eluded lawmakers before they left Washington for the holidays. In a statement Tuesday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Donald Trump wants a two-year pact “that provides realistic budget caps and provides certainty for our national security,” suggesting he was open to a bargain. In one complication, Democrats have linked closure on the budget to protecting from deportation hundreds of thousands of immigrants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children. Both parties have been divided over the so-called Dreamers. Parachuting into all this is a Democratic duo whose Senate arrivals are extraordinary.

Hatch, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, says he is retiring after four decades in the Senate. Courtesy photo Utah’s Hatch to retire By Matthew Daly and Kevin Freking Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said Tuesday he will not seek re-election after serving more than 40 years in the Senate, opening the door for former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to run for his seat. Hatch, 83, said he’s always been a ﬁghter, “but every good ﬁghter knows when to hang up the gloves.” Hatch is the longestserving Republican in the Senate. He chairs the powerful Senate Finance Committee and was a major force in getting a tax overhaul through Congress and signed into law in December. He also played a key role in persuading President Donald Trump to sign proclamations scaling back two sprawling national monuments in Utah that Hatch and other conservatives considered examples of government overreach. In a statement, Hatch said he decided to retire at the end of his seventh term after “much prayer and discussion with family and friends” over the holiday break. “Only in a nation like ours could someone like me — the scrappy son of a simple carpenter — grow up to become a United States Senator,” he added. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who now lives in Utah, has been eyeing a Senate run, but Trump had encouraged Hatch to seek re-election. Romney thanked Hatch in a statement on Facebook and said Hatch “has represented the interests of Utah with distinction and honor.” Romney’s statement did not mention his own plans. Trump had been open in recent months about pressuring Hatch to stay in the Senate, particularly as Romney’s ambition for the seat became apparent. Trump’s private lobbying campaign was bolstered by a public love-fest, as Trump invited Hatch with him on Air Force One in December as he shrunk the boundaries of the two Utah monuments. Trump called Hatch “a ﬁghter” and “a special friend of mine,” and thanked Hatch for his vocal support when “it wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to do.” Romney has a far more tortured relationship with the president, having been a vocal critic of Trump’s during the 2016 campaign, including delivering a broadside address in March 2016 condemning Trump. But after the election, Romney submitted himself as a candidate to be secretary of state in an excruciatingly public interview process. Since Trump has moved into the White House, Romney has been a frequent detractor, particularly after Trump equivocated on condemning white supremacists in Charlottesville last summer. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday she had not discussed Romney’s potential candidacy with Trump and could not say whether the president would support him. Amid earlier speculation about Hatch’s plans, the Utah senator stepped up to defend Romney, a fellow Mormon. Last month Hatch lashed out at former White House adviser Steve Bannon for his attack on Romney and the Mormon Church. At a rally for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, Bannon called Romney, the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee, a draft dodger who “hid behind” his religion. Romney received a draft deferment for missionary work in France during Vietnam. Hatch called Bannon’s attack “disappointing and unjustiﬁed” and said Romney “has sought every opportunity” to serve the country. Hatch defended “the selﬂess service of missionary work” and said he’d be happy to explain his church to Bannon, adding, “I’ve got a copy of the Book of Mormon with his name on it.” Late last year, Hatch also found himself in a heated debate with Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio. The dispute occurred as Republicans pushed a near $1.5 trillion, 10-year tax cut for businesses and individuals through the Senate Finance Committee over Democrats’ objections. Brown, a liberal ﬁrebrand, said people know Republicans want to help the rich because it’s “in their DNA.” Hatch told Brown he’d heard enough, adding that he’s helped disadvantaged people “my whole stinking career.” As the two senators talked over each other, Hatch said he was tired of Democrats’ “bull crap.” In the statement announcing his decision to retire, Hatch cited work helping create the Americans with Disabilities Act, expanding children’s health insurance and expanding use of generic drugs. Hatch also served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and was at the center of many of the biggest conﬁrmation battles. During his time on the committee, the Senate has conﬁrmed nearly 1,900 federal judges. In 2000, Hatch sought the Republican nomination for president, saying he had more experience in Washington than his opponents and insisting he could work with Democrats. He withdrew from the race after only winning 1 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses and then endorsed George W. Bush. Hatch frequently wrote religious songs and recorded music in his spare time as a way to relax from the stresses of life in Washington. One of his songs, “Unspoken,” went platinum after appearing on “WOW Hits 2005,” a compilation of Christian pop music. While seeking reelection in 2012, Hatch pledged it would be his last term. He seemed to waver on that decision in recent months with Trump publicly calling on him to run again. Romney would enter the Senate race as the heavy favorite, having carried Utah in 2012 by a margin of nearly 3 to 1 over Democrat Barack Obama. Romney, an unabashed Trump critic, would likely be among a small number of inﬂuential Republicans willing to take on Trump. Derek Miller, a Utah businessman who had been considering a run for Hatch’s seat, said Tuesday that Romney has popped up more frequently at policy gatherings, chamber of commerce meetings and social events in Utah. “I go to events and I see Gov. Romney there, over the last couple months, when I never saw him at those events before,” Miller said.

Man who killed Colorado deputy livestreamed himself DENVER (AP) — Videos made by the man who shot and killed a Colorado sheriff’s deputy after concerns were raised about his mental health show the gunman calling 911 and then opening his apartment door and talking to responding ofﬁcers before the shooting. The footage , livestreamed on Periscope, was obtained by Denver’s KUSA-TV. The station broadcast clips from two videos in which Matthew Riehl says he would not hurt anyone except to defend himself before calling authorities. “Maybe I bought over 1,000 rounds of ammunition from Walmart. It’s not illegal,” he says. Later, he tells a police dispatcher that a man had invited him to his house and was acting strangely. When authorities arrive at Riehl’s suburban Denver apartment, the footage shows him talking to at least two ofﬁcers, telling them he wants to ﬁle an emergency restraining order against his domestic partner. He is upset when one ofﬁcer offers to give him a phone number to call, and leaves the doorway to go back into a room. “Did you not get the message? Wow. They didn’t get the message. They lied,” he is heard saying on the video. The TV station said Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock veriﬁed the authenticity of the videos and said the 911 call made by Riehl was the second one from his apartment in Highlands Ranch, 16 miles (about 25 kilometers) south of Denver, on Sunday. The ﬁrst 911 call was made by Riehl’s room- David Zalubowski | AP Tributes to a deputy killed in a shootout cover a patrol vehicle parked outside a Douglas County, Colo., Sheriffs Department substation Monday in Highlands Ranch, Colo. The deputy was killed and four other deputies were shot while responding to a call at a nearby apartment complex early Sunday. mate, who told authorities Riehl was acting strangely and might be having a mental breakdown. Responding deputies to that call found no evidence of a crime and left. The footage shows the shooting but the station did not air that footage. A clip purporting to show it has been posted elsewhere online. Riehl, an attorney and an Iraq war veteran, previously posted videos criticizing Colorado law enforcement ofﬁcers in profane, highly personal terms. Wyoming College of Law students had been warned about Riehl, a former student, because of his social media posts critical of professors at the school in Laramie. A Nov. 6 email from Assistant College of Law Dean Lindsay Hoyt told students to notify campus police if they spotted Riehl or his car near campus, KTWO-AM in Casper, Wyoming reported. In addition, security on campus was increased for several days. Campus ofﬁcers called police in Lone Tree, Colorado, in mid-November to warn them about Riehl, suggesting his rants were indicative of mental illness, UW Police Chief Mike Samp told The Denver Post. Samp said it’s possible that Colorado authorities faced the same issue as Wyoming ofﬁcials when an apparently mentally ill, dangerous person makes indirect threats. Authorities have said Riehl ﬁred more than 100 rounds before he was killed by a SWAT team. Riehl, armed with a riﬂe, wounded four deputies, including Zackari Parrish in the initial gunﬁre. The other three deputies managed to get away but had to leave Parrish behind because of their injuries and the ongoing gunﬁre. Parrish later was declared dead. About 1 ½ hours later, the SWAT team arrived and exchanged ﬁre with Riehl. He was killed and a ﬁfth ofﬁcer was wounded.

While there are stakeholders who believe that the end of net neutrality Amy L. will result in an online environment Mcginn Contributing better suited for innovation, competition and economic growth, there columnist are troublesome implications for students and teachers in our country — from preschool all the way through institutes of higher education. As former Secretary of Education John King has said, “one of the most important aspects of technology in education is its ability to level the ﬁeld of opportunity for students.” By ending net neutrality, we are taking a step backward in the long-fought battle to provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in our country. In the world of education, net neutrality is one element of digital equity — the concept that all students should have access to technology, such as devices, software and the Internet, and trained educators to help them navigate these tools. Our country has an unfortunate history of inequitable education. Students’ educational opportunities were once limited by the resources that were found within the four walls of their schools. Technology changed all of this. The Internet has beneﬁted teachers and students by providing access to high-quality information, resources and expertise — no matter what tangible resources their schools and communities are able to provide. At the Loyola School of Education, we seek to bring awareness to unjust social, cultural, economic and political choices. Net neutrality is a structure that provides just educational opportunities for the most vulnerable members of our community: our nation’s children, who do not have the means to create these equitable conditions for themselves. At ﬁrst glance, the repeal of net neutrality might not seem like a big deal. Sure, some people might be willing to pay more for certain content or faster Internet speeds. This is not an unfamiliar concept: You can pay a little extra for a movie ticket and get a comfortable, reclining seat with a footrest, and you can buy a “Fast Pass” at Disney World to skip the long lines. Why shouldn’t this same concept apply to the Internet? Because access to high-quality Internet-based resources should be available to all schools and all students — not just the schools or districts that can afford it. In the absence of net neutrality, digital equity for students becomes a greater challenge. As Richard Culatta, CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education, stated in an NPR interview recently, “we’re back to where we were before, where students are getting shortchanged based on the ZIP code they live in.” We should also consider the implications this has for students and educators outside of their school buildings. Even in an ideal scenario when digital equity exists within the classroom, access to technology and reliable high-speed Internet outside of school is far from guaranteed. A recent Pew Research study found that 5 million children — most of whom are low-income — do not have access to broadband Internet connection. The end of net neutrality will widen that digital divide, the gap that educators have worked so hard to narrow. As our country wades through the political and potentially judicial, processes of approving and enacting these changes, we should continue to educate ourselves about net neutrality and what these changes will mean for our schools. Leaders in our schools and in our communities should prepare to make informed decisions in the best interests of students. Teachers should continue the hard and important work of educating our nation’s children using all available resources. And, as we’re reinforcing with our educators at the Loyola School of Education, we should continue advocating for social justice and digital equity for all students, especially students who attend schools with inadequate resources. THEIR VIEW Celebrating 50 years of Special Olympics This editorial recently appeared in The Chicago Tribune: Every city has a story. Chicago’s is tough and tender. Gangster and Midwestern. Violent and benevolent. Chicago is the Great Fire of 1871. It is the World’s Columbian Exposition 22 years later, lusty and industrious. It is Hull House. It is jazz. It is “The Blues Brothers.” It is the bootstrap of the ﬁrst AfricanAmerican U.S. president. But Chicago has another enduring if underappreciated story. The summer of 2018 will mark the 50th anniversary of Special Olympics, an organization with deep Chicago roots that is now the largest sporting competition in the world for intellectually disabled children and adults. What began as an idea for a simple track-and-ﬁeld event at Soldier Field branched into a global community serving 4.9 million athletes in 172 countries. The 2019 summer games will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. meet. A natural partner, the Kennedy family with Shriver leading the way had championed the needs of the disabled community. President John F. Kennedy had prioritized care for the disabled with federal funding and numerous acts of Congress to expand opportunities for this population. With the resources and enthusiasm of Mayor Daley, the Kennedys, Burke and the Park District, the ﬁrst Special Olympics unfolded at Soldier Field in July 1968. Athletes from 26 states and Canada participated in the 50-yard dash, 300-yard run, ﬁeld hockey, swimming and jumping. A Chicago Tribune story published July 21, 1968, quoted Shriver: “The Chicago Special Olympics proves retarded children can be exceptional athletes; that thru (sic) sports they can realize their potential for growth. But they are only 1,000 out of 1.5 million mentally retarded children who should be given a chance to compete in games like this all over America. Our purpose here today is to secure a pledge that all retarded children will be given this chance in the future.” Special Olympics Chicago has since helped establish programs for disabled children in more than 120 Chicago public schools and parks across the city. The worldwide 50th anniversary celebration is planned for July 17-21 in Chicago. A soccer game, sports activities, concerts and a torch run are among the expected events. The anniversary will become part of Chicago’s story, too — another chapter in its role establishing a new era for the disabled. Special Olympics might not be as legendary to Chicago as “The Blues Brothers” or two World’s Fairs (the 1933-4 Century of Progress International Exposition included) or even the Cubs or deepdish pizza. But there’s no question Special Olympics arguably has had a far greater impact on the world around us. For that, Chicago should be proud.

She wrote this for the Baltimore Sun. The rise of Special Olympics during the last 50 years represented more than a popular sporting event. It marked the beginning of a shift in humanity. Disabled children and adults, often abandoned, institutionalized and isolated, joined mainstream society. They were seen. They were celebrated. Countries that once conﬁned the disabled to prisonlike conditions have now embraced and even hosted the games. That worldwide culture change launched, slowly, with a partnership that included Eunice Kennedy Shriver of the Kennedy family foundation, now-Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, Mayor Richard J. Daley and the Chicago Park District. Burke, who was teaching physical education classes to disabled children at the Park District, wanted to reach more students. She saw how recreation programs changed them, challenged them, encouraged them. She approached city ofﬁcials with the idea of a citywide track opened by the U.S. Post Ofﬁce. (The banks were abolished in 1966.) In 1938, the March of Dimes campaign to ﬁght polio was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who himself had been afﬂicted with the crippling disease.

Especially when it gives Alabama another shot at a national title. In a game where every yard was a struggle, the Crimson Tide defenders took matters into their own hands. They accounted for a pair of touchdowns just 13 seconds apart in the third quarter to turn an offensive slog into a 24-6 rout of defending national champion Clemson in the Sugar Bowl semiﬁnal game Monday night. “This game was about our identity as a team,” Saban said. “I don’t think anybody would doubt our relentless attitude out there. We had a warriorlike mentality.” He was clearly pleased. Sure, it was quite a contrast to the ﬁrst two meetings in the Alabama-Clemson trilogy, both high-scoring classics with the national title on the line , not to mention the Rose Bowl semiﬁnal that preceded it. Georgia knocked off Oklahoma 54-48 in a double-overtime thriller that wasn’t decided until the Alabama was on its second possession in the Big Easy. There would be no drama in the nightcap. With Deshaun Watson off to the NFL, top-ranked Clemson (12-2) simply had no answer for the Tide’s latest group of defensive standouts, setting up an all-Southeastern Conference showdown for the national title — with Saban matched against his former defensive coordinator, Georgia coach Kirby Smart. “I’m proud of the job he’s done,” Saban said. “I’m sure it will be a great football game.” Leading only 10-6 after a turnover to start the second half handed Clemson a ﬁeld goal, the fourth-ranked Tide (12-1) quickly snuffed out any thoughts of a repeat title for the Tigers. It began with 308-pound defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne picking off a wobbly pass after besieged Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant was hit as he threw. Payne rumbled 21 yards on the return, shedding one would-be tackler with a deft open-ﬁeld move and drawing a 15-yard personal foul penalty when he was ﬁnally dragged down with a horse collar tackle. After Alabama drove to a ﬁrst down at the Clemson 1, Payne re-entered the game — presumably to add another big body for blocking purposes. Instead, he slipped open near the right pylon on a play fake and hauled in a touchdown pass, even managing to get both feet down before the celebration commenced beyond the sideline. “I’ve got gold hands,” quipped Payne, who was picked as the game’s defensive MVP.

Wednesday, January 3, 2018 7 Georgia beats Oklahoma 54-48 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — After ending the ﬁrst overtime Rose Bowl, one of the greatest Granddaddies of Them All, Sony Michel was swarmed by Georgia teammates as he broke down in tears. The senior tailback had gone from possible goat to all-time hero for Georgia, sending the Bulldogs to the national championship game with a one last burst in a game full of them. Michel raced 27 yards for a touchdown in the second overtime to give No. 3 Georgia a 54-48 victory against No. 2 Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff semiﬁnal Monday night. Michel, who had a fumble in the fourth quarter returned for a go-ahead Oklahoma touchdown, ran for 181 yards and three scores for the Bulldogs (13-1), but none bigger than the last one. “I made plays. I gave up plays. My team just had faith in me,” said Michel, who did all that damage on just 11 carries and got a hug from former Bulldogs great tailback Garrison Hearst after scoring the winning TD. “That’s what this team is all about. They showed true character today.” In the ﬁnal game of his great career, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayﬁeld threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns, and caught a touchdown pass that gave the Sooners a 17-point lead with 6 seconds left in the ﬁrst half. But the Heisman Trophy winner could not get the Sooners (12-2) into the end zone in the ﬁrst overtime when a touchdown would have ended the game. “It’s tough to describe right now,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said of the loss. “It’s a hell of a college football game. You know, an epic Rose Bowl game.” The Bulldogs will play Alabama on Jan. 8 ﬁn an all-Southeastern Conference national championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, about 70 miles from their campus. After Georgia made its ﬁrst trip to the Rose Bowl since 1943 a heart-stopping success, the Bulldogs will play Jae C. Hong | AP Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) is sacked during the second half of the Rose Bowl game Monday against Georgia in Pasadena, Calif. for their ﬁrst national title since 1980. “We got to get back to work. It’s not done,” Michel said. “Now we got to ﬁnish. Let’s just ﬁnish this season off right.” The 104th Rose Bowl was also the highestscoring, surpassing last year’s 52-49 USC victory against Penn State. There was a lot more on the line in this one, the ﬁrst CFP game to go to overtime as well. After an offside penalty on Georgia gave Oklahoma a ﬁrst down on third-and-ﬁve in the second OT possession, the Sooners stalled again and Austin Seibert came out for a 27-yard ﬁeld goal. Leaping through the line, Lorenzo Carter got his outstretched hand on the kick and the ball ﬂuttered down short of the uprights. Any score would have ended it for the Bulldogs, and on the second play Michel slipped one tackle and was home free. The Bulldogs sprinted off the sideline and toward the corner of the end zone to mob Michel. Confetti rained down. Meanwhile, Mayﬁeld stood motionless on the sideline for several seconds, bent over with his hands on his knees and head down. Mayﬁeld battled ﬂu-like symptoms the week leading into the game, but he played just ﬁne. “I can’t believe it’s over. It’s been a wild ride,” said Mayﬁeld with a hoarse voice before he started to cry. Michel and his room- mate and running mate Nick Chubb were awesome for Georgia. Chubb ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a 2-yarder on a direct snap with 55 seconds left in regulation to tie it. The Sooners had taken a 45-38 lead when Steven Parker returned Michel’s fumble for a TD with 6:52 left in the fourth. “I told him that he had to keep running and trying to hit the corner,” Chubb said. “We had a long game and after the fumble, we went down and he made up for it with that run to win the game.” Both teams settled for ﬁeld goals in the ﬁrst overtime. First, Georgia’s Rodrigo Blankenship hit from 38 to make it 48-45. Then it was Mayﬁeld’s turn. A touchdown would have sent the Sooners to Atlanta, but on a third-and-2 from the 17 Georgia All-America linebacker Roquan Smith nailed Jordan Smallwood a yard short of the ﬁrst down. Seibert kicked a 33-yarder and the Bulldogs and Sooners played on, but not for much longer. eight years at Alabama, along with a BCS title at LSU during the 2003 From page 6 season.

Clearly, the Tide was still ticked off about the way last season ended, giving up a TD pass with 1 second remaining to hand Clemson the national title. “This,” Saban said, “was a little bit personal for us.” Alabama The takeaway Georgia: The Bulldogs came in with the sixth-best defense in the country, but Mayﬁeld and the Sooners sliced it up in the ﬁrst half, including a nifty reverse pass to the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback that made it 31-14 with 6 Silent renfrow Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow was known as the Tide Killer. Not this time. After hauling in four TD passes in the last two national championship games — including, of course, the title winner a year ago — Renfrow was held to just 31 yards on ﬁve receptions.

The takeaway Alabama: The Tide’s defense against Geor- seconds left in the second quarter. Oklahoma had 360 yards in the ﬁrst half, the secondmost the Bulldogs had allowed in a game this season. Coach Kirby Smart said the defense “stunk it up” in the ﬁrst half, but there were no dramatic changes in the second. Smith and company just played better. Oklahoma managed only 171 yards and one touchdown in the second half and OT. Oklahoma: The Sooners’ defense has been an issue all season, but it did look for a while like it might make the decisive play. Linebacker Caleb Kelly lowered a shoulder into Michel trying to turn the corner on a sweep and the ball popped loose. Parker picked it up on the bounce, tight-roped the sideline and sprinted 46 yards for the score. But with a chance to close out the game with 3:22 left in the fourth, Georgia freshman quarterback Jake Fromm led a game-tying drive. Fromm ﬁnished 20-for29 for 210 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Up next Georgia: It’s back to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Bulldogs, where they beat Auburn to win the SEC championship and get in the playoff a month ago. Oklahoma: The Sooners start the postMayﬁeld era next fall at home against coach Lane Kifﬁn’s Florida Atlantic team. gia’s offense will be an especially intriguing matchup given the way the semiﬁnal games played out. One thing to keep an eye on: Anfernee Jennings was helped off with a sprained knee late in the game after recording a sack and three tackles for losses, another potential blow to the Tide’s already beleaguered linebacker corps. Clemson: The Tigers looked at this game as a chance to show they had surpassed Alabama as college football’s most dominant program. Sorry, the Tide is still king. “We’ll be back,” Swinney vowed. Up next Alabama: A national championship game to end the season for the third year in a row and sixth time in the last nine seasons.

After Milton and Central Florida capped a perfect season, he suggested it was time to respect the Knights, even if they weren’t invited to the playoff. Milton threw two touchdown passes and ran for 116 yards with another touchdown, leading No. 10 UCF to a 34-27 Peach Bowl win over No. 7 Auburn on Monday. Then it was time to boast. “I said on the podium you can go ahead and cancel the playoffs,” Milton said. “I’m not changing my mind.” UCF (13-0) led 34-20 before having to stop a late Auburn comeback. Antwan Collier’s interception in the end zone with 24 seconds remaining clinched the win. The UCF players launched a joyous postgame celebration, rolling around in confetti on the ﬁeld while wearing T-shirts that read “Champions.” The Knights won in their ﬁnal game with coach Scott Frost, who stayed with the team through the bowl game after accepting an offer to become the new coach at Nebraska , his alma mater.

I’m so happy for these guys.” The Knights thought they deserved a higher ranking after winning the American Athletic Conference and leading the nation in scoring. They made a strong statement by beating Auburn (10-4). Frost said “it wasn’t right” for UCF to not receive more consideration for the four-team playoff. “They deserve more credit from the committee than they got,” he said.

There was nothing else to do after making unwelcome history. One day after an inconceivable season ended without a win, Cleveland’s coach was grateful to still have his job and Jackson took steps to sooth an angry fan base and players who may have doubts about him. Jackson somehow survived the Browns’ 0-16 season, but it will leave scars. “This is going to be next to my name for the rest of my life,” he said Monday. “This is part of my legacy now, some of the players that are here, the coaches that are here, everybody.” For weeks, Jackson, who has managed to stay in the good graces of owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam despite a 1-31 record over two seasons, and the Browns did all they could to reject the possibility of football infamy. But with Sunday’s 28-24 loss in Pittsburgh , they joined the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams in NFL history to lose all 16 games. It happened. It hurts. “Hopefully they forget my name as the years go by,” Browns cornerback Jason McCourty said. “A terrible thing to be a part of, wish you weren’t a part of. We could have won the last game — 1-15 gets you out of the history book, but 1-15 is awful, just as bad. It’s tough.” And sadly, the Browns aren’t done taking hits. They’re an easy target, a punchline, the team to pile on. While their dismal season has mercifully ended, they’re going to continue to take blows — until they win. “It is awful,” Jackson said. “We all have to wear it. I don’t think anybody wants to be associated with that. No one started the season thinking that this is how it would turn out. I’m sorry and I apologize if people think that we are not distraught about it, but I don’t think us talking about it over and over and over again (helps) because I think everybody else will.” Jackson’s right. The 2017 Browns have joined the unofﬁcial club of notorious losers, lumped in with the worst of the worst from other sports genres. Cleveland fans are beyond frustrated. Worn to coach the team. Now that I truly understand the situation and have been through it and have looked at it, I did not want to put that pressure on somebody else early in this situation. Now knowing, now seeing and now truly believing in that the team is going to take a step forward, everything is on the table.” As difﬁcult as this season was for Jackson and the Browns, better days could be ahead. They’ll have the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks in this year’s draft and three Don Wright | AP selections in the second Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson meets with reporters Sunday following the game against round, invaluable assets the Steelers in Pittsburgh. to replenish the league’s down by years of losing, ﬁred Jim Caldwell after a that they do — that I can youngest roster.

South Carolina won the game 26-19. Bentley leads South Carolina past Michigan TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Will Muschamp envisions championships in South Carolina’s future. Lots of them. “We don’t have all the trophies and the tradition and history but we have some grit,” the coach said after the Gamecocks rallied from a 16-point second-half deﬁcit. to beat Michigan 26-19 in Monday’s Outback Bowl. “We’ve got some toughness and resolve. You saw us down 19-3 and not a lot of good things happening for us,” Muschamp added. “All the arrows are pointing up for us. We’re going to have those trophies.” Jake Bentley threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns Monday to pace the win, which gave the Gamecocks (9-4) at least nine wins in a season for just the seventh time. Bentley shrugged off a slow start to toss scoring passes of 21 yards to Bryan Edwards and 53 yards to Shi Smith, the latter giving his team a 23-19 lead early in the fourth quarter. The sophomore said once the Gamecocks began to have some success, the offense’s conﬁ- dence grew. “It’s just we started to execute well. The excitement, I think, is contagious to the whole team,” Bentley, voted the game’s most valuable player, said. “You see where we went from there.” Michigan (8-5) ﬁnished with its ﬁrst threegame losing streak under coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines turned the ball over ﬁve times after halftime, including an end zone interception that denied them an opportunity to regain the lead with just under eight minutes to go. The loss also cost the Big Ten a clean sweep of bowl games involving conference members. The league entered 7-0, looking to go unbeaten in postseason play for the ﬁrst time since 1998 when it went 5-0. “We kind of let them hang around and they took advantage of it.,” Harbaugh said. “They got better as the game went on. We didn’t get the knockout punch when we needed it.” Bentley was 19 of 32 passing with one interception. Rico Dowdle, playing for ﬁrst time since breaking his leg against Tennessee on Oct. 14, began South Carolina’s comeback from a 19-3 deﬁcit with a 17-yard TD run. Brandon Peters had a tough day for Michigan, completing 20 of 44 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions. His second pick, with 1:05 remaining, sealed South Carolina’s second Outback Bowl victory over the Wolverines in ﬁve years. “There’s some really good, and there’s a few I know he’d like to have back,” Jarbaugh said. “But he was battling just like the rest of the guys. There was some error there, a little too much at the wrong time.” Quinn Nordin accounted for most of Michigan’s scoring, kicking ﬁeld goals of 35, 26, 45 and 48 yards. Fullback Ben Mason scored on a 1-yard run in helping Michigan build its 16-point lead. Peters, who returned to the lineup after missing the regular-season ﬁnale against Ohio State with a concussion, was hoping to make it more difﬁcult for Harbaugh to replace him next season — even if Shea Patterson is one of coach’s options. Patterson plans to transfer to Michigan from Mississippi, a program hit with sanctions, and to petition the NCAA to allow him to be immediately eligible. Once, twice, three times South Carolina leads the all-time series between the team 3-1, including a 33-28 victory in the 2013 Outback Bowl. Michigan’s lone win came in 1985. The takeaway Michigan: The Wolverines started 4-0, but their inexperience showed in going 5-4 in Big Ten play with losses to Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Losing to South Carolina extended the team’s season-ending skid to three games. South Carolina: South Carolina feels good about its progress in two seasons under coach Muschamp, whose 15 victories match the most by any coach in his ﬁrst two years with the Gamecocks. Joe Morrison (1983-84) and Steve Spurrier (2005-06) also won 15. PITTSBURGH (AP) — JuJu Smith-Schuster didn’t catch a snap of the 2017 AFC championship game. Life out in Los Angeles was just a little too hectic as the wide receiver prepared for the NFL draft. Martavis Bryant skipped out on it too, in part because of the pain of missing out while serving a one-year suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy was a bit too acute. Tyson Alualu and Joe Haden’s viewpoints were the same as they’ve always been during their respective careers: watching the NFL playoffs go on without them. Not anymore. A year removed from New England’s clinical domination of the Pittsburgh Steelers on their way to the Super Bowl on that snowy night in Foxborough last January, all four ﬁnd themselves playing vital roles in Pittsburgh’s effort to ﬁnally unseat Tom Brady and company. With their Pro Bowl teammates taking the afternoon off in Sunday’s regular-season ﬁnale against Cleveland to rest up for the playoffs, all four showcased why they’ll be needed over the next month if the Steelers (13-3) want to end New England’s long run at the top. Smith-Schuster piled up 265 all-purpose yards, returned a kickoff for a touchdown and caught Landry Jones’ pass for another score in Pittsburgh’s 28-24 victory . Bryant tied a season high with six receptions to cap a resurgent stretch in which he caught 29 passes and a pair of touchdowns over the ﬁnal six weeks. Haden returned from a fractured ﬁbula that threatened to disrupt his season by providing Pittsburgh’s secondary with a steadying presence while Artie Burns struggled in his second season. Haden embraced change when he signed with the Steelers in August after seven years in Cleveland, and the Steelers repaid his respect by making him the lone game captain on Sunday while facing his former team. Alualu had the ﬁrst multiple sack game of his eight-year career against the Browns, including the one that gave the Steelers 56 on the season, a franchise record. The giddy celebration after Alualu took down Cleveland’s DeShone Kizer early in the fourth quarter provided Alualu with a reminder on why he signed with Pittsburgh after seven seasons in Jacksonville. “Just being around these guys, this atmosphere, I knew I wanted to be around these talks just so that it kind of changes my mentality of where I came from,” Alualu said. “I’m not saying I’m used to being a loser or anything like that, but it was deﬁnitely different being around this group and I just wanted to feed off of that. Hopefully we can keep going and get that ring.” That’s been the mission since the second the Patriots ﬁnished off their 36-17 dissection of the Steelers 49 weeks ago. Pittsburgh limped through that game with a depleted wide receiving group, a secondary that looked overmatched at times and a pass rush that did little to disrupt Brady. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
