Mackenzie Blackwood smiled and revealed what he is asking Santa Claus for Christmas. “I can’t wait until I get the permanents back in,” said Blackwood as he flashed a goofy grin. “So hopefully in a couple of weeks, you will see me with a pearly white smile.” Two weeks ago, the Avs were toothless.

Broncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, putting his availability for Sunday’s matchup against the Colts in jeopardy. With Moss likely missing his second straight game since sustaining an MCL injury against the Raiders last month, Denver has a tough decision to make at the outside cornerback spot opposite Pat Surtain II.

Heisman Trophy finalist and two-way Colorado star Travis Hunter was named The Associated Press Big 12 defensive player of the year while also being a first-team selection at wide receiver on Thursday. Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is the league’s top offensive player. Kenny Dillingham, the 34-year-old in his second season at Arizona State, was the unanimous choice as Big 12 coach of the year after leading his alma mater to a championship and a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff.
