Lederman, a 6-7, 305-pound redshirt junior from Brodhead, Wis., broke a toe on his right foot against North Carolina and had surgery yesterday at the Duke Sports Medicine Center. He Lederman played in nine games, starting seven.

Renfree, a 6-3, 210-pound redshirt freshman from Scottsdale, Ariz., tore the anterior-cruciate ligament in his right knee last weekend against Georgia Tech and will have surgery at a later date.

■ Receiver Nu'Keese Richardson and defensive back Mike Edwards, two of three Tennessee freshmen charged last week in an attempted armed robbery, have been permanently dismissed from the team. The third player, starting safety Janzen Jackson, remains barred from team activities while Coach Lane Kiffin awaits more information in his case. All three were out on bond but kept home Saturday when Tennessee traveled to play Mississippi.

Three victims told police they were sitting in their parked vehicle about 2 a.m. last Thursday near Tennessee's campus when two males dressed in hooded jackets, one brandishing a gun, approached and demanded, "Give us everything you've got." The players were arrested shortly afterward with a woman who is alleged to have driven their getaway Toyota Prius.

■ The University of Michigan released details of an internal audit yesterday that said that the football program failed to file monthly forms tracking how much players practice -- an issue currently under NCAA investigation. The audit was completed months ago but the details surfaced this week.

The audit looked at last season -- Coach Rich Rodriguez's first at Michigan -- and at last spring's offseason. It said that the program failed to file monthly Countable Athletically Related Activities forms created by the school to track how much players work out and practice as a tool to comply with NCAA rules.

"The regular season forms still have not been submitted," the office of university audits wrote to Rodriguez in a letter dated July 24. Offseason forms were submitted after the audit was completed in May, meaning they had not been reviewed, according to the report.

■ Coach Jeff Tedford of California said yesterday that there is "no chance" star tailback Jahvid Best will play Saturday against No. 14 Stanford.

Best has 16 touchdowns and 867 yards rushing this season.
