WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have looked inside for their new assistant general manager. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . Kyle Walters has been picked for a job that current general manager Joe Mack agrees could be a stepping stone to the top spot he now holds. The 39-year-old has been the Bombers special teams co-ordinator for the past three seasons. "I think any good organization is going to want to always be conscious of a succession plan," Mack said Wednesday by phone from his home in the United States. "I think our intention is certainly for Kyle to grow in the position and be a candidate when that does occur." His official title will be assistant general manager and director of Canadian scouting. Although Walters has a house in Winnipeg, he spoke by phone from Hamilton to say he was excited about the new job but also a little sad to be giving up a nine-year coaching career. The former defensive back with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats previously worked as a defensive co-ordinator and also as head coach at the University of Guelph. "Thats the thing Im certainly going to miss the most, is the on-field coaching and being around the players," he said. Mack said Walters was picked from a list of more than 16 candidates. "It was very gratifying to see the number of people that were willing to be part of our team and our organization," Mack said. He added that Walters solid Canadian connections were major draws. "I think it was a huge positive that Kyle had played in the league and been captain of a team and the fact that hed been head coach of a CIS program just added to his overall value," Mack said. Although the Canadian draft is a big part of his role, he will also be involved in all aspects of club operations, including talks with free agents, said Mack. "I think right now weve pretty much decided we want to have everybody back if we can arrange it," Mack said of the list of 11 Bomber free agents released by the CFL Wednesday. Although theyve had discussions with all of their free agents, those talks will resume in the next week or so now that the players have had a chance to see if there is other interest in their talents. The 6-12 Blue Bombers did not make the playoffs this past season. There was a "Fire Joe Mack" petition circulating on Facebook and head coach Paul LaPolice did lose his job mid-season over the teams stumbles as they tried to get back to the Grey Cup. After the season ended, the Bombers dumped assistant general manager Ross Hodgkinson, who had held the position since 2008. He first joined the team in 1985 and served in a number of posts. It was widely speculated at the time that the team was looking for someone who might be able to replace Mack and Hodgkinson didnt fit that bill.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Central Florida will head into the new-look Big East off an impressive showing in the Beef O Bradys Bowl. The Knights dominated Ball State 38-17 on Friday night in their final game as a member of Conference USA, amassing 494 yards total offence while holding the high-scoring Cardinals to their lowest point total of the season. "Offensively, this is one of the best games we had all year," quarterback Blake Bortles said. "Everyone just really picked up and went, and thats why we won the way we did." Bortles threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns. The red-shirt sophomore also rushed for a career-high 80 yards and scored on a 6-yard run that helped UCF (10-4) build a 21-point halftime lead. "Im really impressed with (Bortles) and what he did and can do," Ball State coach Pete Lembo said. "He moved the ball downfield very easily, and Im sure theyre excited to have him back for another two years." Bortles tossed first-half TD passes 7 and 5 yards to Latavius Murray, who also scored on a 2-yard run. J.J. Wortons 7-yard scoring reception made 35-10 late in the third quarter. "I thought Blake did everything he needed to do by making the right decisions," UCF coach George OLeary said. "Basically, he made the right decisions that moved us down the field. He really showed tonight why hes our guy out there." Ball State (9-4) was hoping to finish with at least 10 wins for the third time in school history, however its high-powered offence sputtered while being held 18 points below its season average. Keith Wenning threw a 7-yard TD pass to Willie Snead early in the second quarter, but the Cardinals didnt get into end zone again until Snead scored on a 16-yard reception with 5 minutes remaining. Bortles completed 22 of 33 passes without an interception to become UCFs first 3,000-yard passer since 2002. His three TD passes were a career-best and tied the Beef O Bradys Bowl record. Wenning, meanwhile, was 22 of 34 for 217 yards and two TDs for Ball State, which had a six-game winning streak snapped before an announced crowd of 21,759. UCF, one of several schools joining the Big East next season, rebounded from an overtime loss in the Conference USA title game to finish with double-digit victories for the third time since stepping up to the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Offensive co-ordinator Charlie Taaffe previously led Montreal and Hamilton, while running backs coach Danny Barrett coached Saskatchewan after his player career as a CFL quarterback ended. The Knights loss to Tulsa in the Conference USA title game kept them close to home for the post-season. Instead of heading to the Liberty Bowl for the second time in three years, coach George OLeary and his players settled for a 100-mile trek west from Orlando to Tropicana Field, the home of major league baseballs Tampa Bay Rays. OLeary also brought his team to St. Petersburg in 2009, losing to Rutgers by three touchdowns. Friday nights victory improved the 66-year-old coachs record to 4-5 in bowl games, including a 2-3 mark with UCF. Ball States first bowl appearance since 2008 is the latest step in an impressive turnaround under Lembo, whose team suffered early losses to Clemson, Kent State and Northern Illinois before winning six straight down the stretch to put themselves into a position to fill the Big Easts slot in the Beef O Bradys game because the league didnt have enough bowl-eligible teams to meet its commitment. The Cardinals beat two teams from BCS conferences in the same season for the first time, defeating Indiana and South Florida in consecutive weeks. They had the MACs second-most productive offence at 471.3 yards and 35 points per game and won four times by scoring the winning points in the final 2 minutes or overtime. But with UCF dominating time of possession, Ball State never really had an opportunity to get its high-octane show going. The Knights held the ball for nearly 13 minutes of the opening quarter, compiling a 159-15 advantage in total yardage. By halftime UCF had run 42 plays and gained 299 yards to build its lead to 28-7. Jahwan Edwards rushed for 89 yards on 14 carries for Ball State, which fell to 0-7-1 in eight bowl appearances. Snead had seven receptions for 78 yards. "Ball State came with a good game plan and they are a well-coached, very good team," OLeary said. "They wouldnt have nine wins if they werent." ' ' '
