CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia coaches had little to say Saturday about a lawsuit filed this week in which a former player alleges he was bullied and harassed by teammates because of a learning disability and seriously injured when forced to fight another teammate.Aidan Howards lawsuit was filed in a Pennsylvania federal court this week.I love running a fantastic football program in every regard.

Sullivan, athletic director Craig Littlepage, wide receivers coach Marques Hagans, graduate assistant Famika Anae and wide receivers Doni Dowling and David Eldridge.Offensive coordinator Robert Anae, Famikas father, said the lawsuit came out of nowhere and it kind of blindsided all of us. We did look at that as a distraction. We had to handle it as such and well continue to handle that as a distraction.He declined further comment, saying he would let the legal system take its course.In the lawsuit, Howard claims he was injured in a fight with Hasise Dubois instigated by Dowling and Eldridge as part of his initiation. Howard suffered a broken eye socket in the fight, witnessed by the younger Anae and about 100 others, according to the complaint.---More AP college football: http://collegfootball.ap.orgyeezy black friday . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers.

Our extended panel of experts share their take on Sundays finish.1. More impressive, a wire-to-wire win for Walker or sinking that putt on the 72nd hole to seal the victory?SportsCenter anchor Matt Barrie:?You cant have the wire-to-wire victory without making the putt on the 72nd hole. Walker stood in the fairway on 18 and watched Jason Day eagle, only to hit an errant second shot and get up and down. The putt won him his first major. Wire-to-wire was the result.SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman:?A wire-to-wire win. The final putt on 18 was not that difficult. Leading after every round with all of those big names on your heels is hard to fathom, especially when you have never won a major before. I also thought that a bogey-free round was nothing short of remarkable with that kind of pressure and the amount of holes played on Sunday. He was rock solid, which was impressive.ESPN.com senior golf analyst Michael Collins:?The wire-to-wire victory. Making a three foot putt to win is stressful to watch but theres a reason player look surprised when they miss. Cause it doesnt happen often. Winning wire-to-wire while sleeping on a lead every night is so much harder, thats why it doesnt happen often especially in majors.ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig:?Going wire to wire. Walker had been mostly a non-factor this year. You hardly saw his name. He missed two cuts in majors and he was on nobodys list to win this week. Even after the first-round 65, did anyone figure hed be there at the end? It was a strong week.ESPN.com senior national columnist Ian OConnor:?The wire-to-wire win. For a 37-year-old man who had never finished in the top five of a major to keep his concentration through the stops and starts of a wet week, and across a 36-hole Sunday finish, was a hell of a feat. I mightve felt differently if Walker needed a 1-putt to avoid the playoff.ESPN.com senior writer Kevin Van Valkenburg:?Definitely the wire-to-wire win. Its so hard to win a major when you have to sleep on the lead every night. Walker never blinked after his opening round 65. Usually the PGA Championship is volatile because there are a lot of birdie opportunities out there. Its easy to get run down by a hot putter. Making that 3-footer was nice, but he has made a million of those over his career. That was just the cherry on a long week.2. Fact or fiction: Jimmy Walker wins another major title in his career.Barrie:?Fact. He has had the game since he burst onto the scene in 2014 with his first career win. Winning a major takes the doubt out of his mind and game that seemed to always show up come major time. I dont think we have a Dufner-Keegan-Webb one timer.Coachman:?Fiction. Its so hard to win a major. And for Jimmy Walker, he has not exactly been beating on the door of a major very often. And as he is closer to 40 than 20, it will not get any easier. But he definitely has the talent and in 2016 I dont think anyone would have picked any of the major champions with the exception of Dustin Johnson. So heck, I dont know if I am right. But Jimmy Walker certainly hopes I am.Collins:?Fact. Jimmy will win one more before hes done with his PGA Tour career. Hell win another PGA.Harig:?Fiction, only because its so hard to do, there are so many players who can win them, and nothing is ever guaranteed.OConnor:?Fiction, much as I hate to say it. Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, and even Henrik Stenson are more likely to join the multiple major club in the near future. Walker shouldnt fret about it. Some pretty damn good players (example: Fred Couples) before him ended up with only one major. Golf is hard, as they say. Winning is harder.Van Valkenburg:?Ill say fiction. Its really hard to win majors, and Im not sure I believe Walker is an elite player. He has never been particularly accurate off the tee, and hes a good putter but not a great one. He had a great stretch two years ago when he won four times in 18 months and finished in tthe top 10 of three majors, but since then, his results in majors (until this week) have been pretty dismal.dddddddddddd Maybe this will spark something in him, but I think this might be his one shot at glory.3. Jason Day nearly rallied for the win. What kept him from defending his title at the PGA Championship?Barrie:?His shaky start on Sunday. Day would love to have the first hole back when he started with bogey. Late in his final round it appeared he made some wrong club choices that kept his birdie putts from too long a distance to score routinely, and he still had a shot. Eliminate the front nine mistakes, and he likely repeats.Coachman:?He had two bad nines this weekend and going backward at the start of his final round really hurt. Day is so good about rebounding from early bogeys, but when you are dealing with so many solid players, even one bogey can hurt you. Look at Walker; he did not have one bogey and he won by a stroke. Thats how close these tournaments are and for Day it cost him on Sunday.Collins:?The missed birdie putt at the 17th hole. Baltusrol is known for its greens being very hard to read and Day misread that putt. It also didnt help that his first 18 holes on Sunday, even though Day was bogey free, he managed only one birdie on the back nine.Harig:?The slow start to the fourth round ultimately doomed Day. He bogeyed two of the first three holes and was never able to recover on a day where there werent many birdies to be made. He hung in there, but was unable to ever catch Walker.OConnor:?That missed birdie putt at 17. If Day makes that, and it was ultra-makeable, he forces a playoff and I believe he wins that playoff. Hard to believe Day didnt win a major this year. I could see him winning five or six before hes done.Van Valkenburg:?Jimmy Walker. I dont think there is much Day could have done differently. That 2-iron he hit into the 18th green, had it forced a playoff, would have gone down as a legendary swing. With Rory McIlroy feeling lost on the greens and Jordan Spieth dealing with the added burden of expectations and fame, its clear Day is the most consistent player in the big three. Hopefully he and Dustin Johnson will create some excitement in the FedExCup.4. Ten years from now, what will you remember most about this week at Baltusrol?Barrie:?Walkers birdie out of the trap on 10 and Jason Days two iron from 280-plus on the par-5 18th. Both of those were championship golf shots. And in the end, Walker capped off the 2016 major season as the fourth first-time winner.Coachman:?I will remember how many big names were fighting for this title. And how the rain caused the course to become much easier. And that part is disappointing. When you have lift, clean and place rules in effect, its hard to have mishits and big scores. But the drama was still there. And thats all I care about as a fan and as a viewer.Collins:?The weather bullet we dodged on Sunday. Everyone from players, caddies, and media was planning on being in New Jersey until Tuesday after the weather that hit Saturday and the forecast we all saw. How we got off the hook ?? Well be talking about that for a long time.Harig:?The negativity. The crankiness. The weather. Playing just two weeks after The Open really turned into a tough deal for the PGA, which had a hard time getting its due so soon after. And then the weather issues and a diminished Baltusrol led to a marathon that will be remembered more for getting done than for who won.OConnor:?Rain. Never in my life have I been more shocked that a golf tournament finished on a Sunday night. Still have no idea how Baltusrol and the PGA of America did it. Never mind Monday; I was clearing my schedule for Tuesday.Van Valkenburg:?Mostly the rain. Its always disappointing when weather wreaks havoc with a major, but thats the way it goes sometimes. Brooks Koepka contending despite torn ligaments in his ankle was pretty memorable too, but other than Days 2-iron into 18, it seemed like we didnt have a lot of thrills this year, just methodical excellence by Walker.
