James Davis ran for 150 yards and a touchdown, Charlie Whitehurst scrambled for a score and No. 23 Clemson beat Colorado, 19-10, in the Champs Sports Bowl yesterday in Orlando, Fla., handing the Buffaloes their fourth consecutive loss.

"Jamal has lot to contribute, and I'm looking forward to seeing him as we go through the season," Eric Mangini, the team's first-year coach, said.

Ryan Mallett has left the Michigan football program, and the quarterback might be reunited at Tennessee with his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Mallet was 61-for-141 for 892 yards with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions. He might end up with the Volunteers, who are considering hiring former Michigan offensive coordinator Mike DeBord and quarterbacks coach Scott Loeffler.
