Clemson receiver on Biletnikoff watch list

Clemson receiver Jacoby Ford has been named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list.

The Tiger junior is the only Atlantic Coast Conference player on the list of 37 for the award given to college football's top receiver.

Ford had 55 catches for 710 yards and four touchdowns last fall. For his career, Ford has 87 catches for 1,207 yards and 10 touchdowns.

No Clemson receiver has won the award, although Tony Horne (1997) and Rod Gardner (2000) were semifinalists.

Georgia's A.J. Green also made the list.

ALABAMA: Courtney Upshaw and a female student identified as his girlfriend are free on bond after being arrested on charges of domestic violence and harassment.

Upshaw and Kendall Lynn Gryzb were charged after an altercation about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. Both are 19 years old, and a school spokeswoman said both were arrested by university police in the parking lot of the campus recreation center.

Upshaw is a sophomore linebacker. He played in 13 games last season and is competing for the starting spot this year.

ARKANSAS: Wide receiver Lucas Miller will have surgery today after breaking his collarbone at practice. The school said Miller will be out for four to six weeks. He was hurt Thursday when the Razorbacks were practicing indoors because of the weather.

Miller has played in 33 games and made 10 career starts, including six last year. He finished the year with 490 yards and two touchdowns on 30 receptions.

FLORIDA STATE: A judge said NCAA documents concerning academic cheating at Florida State are public records. But the records are not being released yet.

At a hearing Thursday, Circuit Judge John Cooper still has to consider the NCAA's argument that opening the records would violate constitutional rights, including freedom of association.

The Associated Press and other media say the documents should be made public. They focus on Florida State's appeal of an NCAA plan to strip coaches and athletes of wins in 10 sports.

That includes football coach Bobby Bowden , who stands to lose 14 victories and hamper his chances of overtaking Penn State's Joe Paterno for the title of major college football's winningest coach. Paterno leads by one with 383.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Fans will be able to buy tickets in pairs.

The school is offering two-game ticket plans beginning today. Only one of the seven games at Williams-Brice Stadium this season won't be available under the latest offer.

The plans were available to Gamecock Club members earlier this week.

Fans can purchase tickets to games with Mississippi (Sept. 24) and Florida (Nov. 14) for $100. A two-game package for rival Clemson (Nov. 28) and Florida Atlantic (Sept. 19) will cost $95. Tickets for Kentucky (Oct. 10) and Vanderbilt (Oct. 24) will cost $90.

South Carolina also plays at home against South Carolina State on Oct. 3.
