Updates from openers for NCAA FCS and FBS teams:

Florida coach Urban Meyer expected some growing pains.

The Ave Maria University women's cross country team finished sixth, and the men were ninth in their first-ever meet on Friday, at the University of Tampa Early Bird Classic in Brandon.

The Ave Maria University women's volleyball team started its season with a pair of victories in a tournament in Clearwater, then dropped three straight.

Florida Gulf Coast University’s losing streak reached four matches Saturday with two losses in the Active Ankle Challenge in Corvallis, Ore.

B.J. Daniels threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night, helping South Florida launch the Skip Holtz era with a 59-14 rout of Stony Brook in the season opener for both teams.

Rob Calabrese strengthened his hold on Central Florida 's starting quarterback job, completing his first nine passes and throwing for 176 yards and a touchdown in a 38-7 over South Dakota on Saturday.

No. 4 Florida could be without starting cornerback Moses Jenkins next week against South Florida.

Bobby Bowden was absent from the Florida State sideline for the first time in 34 years. No matter. Jimbo Fisher had the Seminoles ready to play.

No. 4 Florida opened the post-Tim Tebow era with a resounding thud, maybe the sound of high expectations crashing to the ground.

If you want change, root for Boise State. If you want a playoff system of some kind, root for Boise State. If you find the mention of Boise State and TCU in the national championship discussion insulting, root for Virginia ...

The Skip Holtz era is set to begin at South Florida, and the new face of the Bulls can hardly contain his enthusiasm.

Florida coach Urban Meyer believes his team has more questions now than it did in 2007.

Ohio State and Miami no longer need to pretend otherwise. Marshall and Florida A&M, they were merely warmup acts.

Jimbo Fisher's coaching debut is almost here.
