Stanford's Bryce Love to miss game against UC-Davis

September 12, 2018 at 4:00AM

Stanford Heisman Trophy hopeful Bryce Love will miss Saturday's game against UC Davis because of an undisclosed injury.

Coach David Shaw said that the running back and left tackle Walker Little will miss the game but should be back Sept. 29 against Oregon.

"Don't anticipate Walker and Bryce being extended, but it's a wise decision to hold those guys out this week," Shaw said.

After a slow start to the season — he was held to 29 yards against San Diego State — Love tallied 136 yards and a touchdown in 22 carries Saturday against USC.

Love was met head-on by two Trojans defenders on his final carry with 1:31 remaining and left the field.

Hurricane cancels several games

Hurricane Florence has forced the cancellation of several Top 25 games this weekend, including No. 13 Virginia Tech's home game against East Carolina, No. 14 West Virginia's trip to North Carolina State and No. 18 UCF's game at North Carolina.

The Category 4 storm's approach led to a series of schedule adjustments Tuesday for teams in the Carolinas and Virginia. Virginia's scheduled home game Saturday against Ohio was relocated to Nashville, Tenn., and the start time for Wake Forest's home game Thursday against Boston College was moved up.

The decisions were made as Florence appears set to come ashore along the Carolinas' coastline late Thursday or early Friday with strong winds and heavy rain.

Texas A&M is most valuable program

Texas A&M has supplanted Texas as America's most valuable college football program.

Forbes magazine released its list of most valuable football programs based on estimate averages for profits and revenue for the 2014, '15 and '16 seasons. Texas had held the top spot, drawing $100 million in revenue in 2011 and $92 million in profit in 2014.

Texas A&M brought in $148 million in revenue and made $107 million in profit, according to Forbes' estimates. Texas made $133 million in revenue and $87 million in profit, while Michigan was third at $127 million and $75 million. Alabama and Ohio State round out the top five.
