SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego State relied on a stifling defense and timely special-teams plays to grind out a 25–3 victory over San Jose State on Saturday night at Snapdragon Stadium, closing out its home schedule with one of its most complete performances of the season.
The Aztecs (9-2 Overall 6-1 Conference) held the Spartans without a touchdown, limited them to a single first-half field goal and created constant backfield pressure, setting the tone early in a game dominated by field position. San Jose State (record not provided) struggled to sustain drives, crossing midfield only twice after halftime and finishing with fewer than 250 total yards.

San Diego State opened the scoring with a first-quarter safety, the result of a botched exchange that the Spartans were forced to fall on in their own end zone. The Aztecs capitalized on the ensuing possession, driving 54 yards to set up a short touchdown run that stretched the lead to 9–0. They never trailed.
A pair of second-quarter field goals pushed the margin to 15–3 at halftime, and SDSU’s defense handled the rest. Early in the third quarter, the Aztecs blocked a punt, recovering at the San Jose State 11-yard line. Three plays later, a quick slant for a touchdown made it 22–3. A late field goal in the fourth quarter sealed the final margin.

Head coach Sean Lewis praised the defense’s physicality and discipline, noting that the group “dictated the tempo from the opening snap.” He added, “When we’re flying around like that—tight coverage, smart pressure, winning first down—our whole team feeds off it. This was the identity game we’ve been pushing toward.”
Linebacker Miles Brooks, who led the Aztecs with nine tackles and a forced fumble, said the unit came in motivated. “All week we talked about closing out at home the right way,” Brooks said. “We wanted to make a statement, and I think we did. Everyone trusted the call, trusted each other, and it showed.”

San Diego State now turns its attention to its regular-season finale traveling to New Mexico to faceoff with the Lobos at 12:30pm. San Jose State will look to regroup after one of its lowest offensive outputs of the year as they host a tough Fresno St Bulldogs to end the season at 7:30pm kickoff.
EUGENE, Ore. — No. 7 Oregon delivered a statement performance Saturday, beating No. 15 USC 42–27 to all but extinguish the Trojans’ College Football Playoff hopes. The Ducks (10–1, 7–1) seized control early and held off a stubborn USC rally at Autzen Stadium.
Quarterback Dante Moore threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns, while Noah Whittington ran for 104 yards and added a late 9-yard score to seal the win. Kenyon Sadiq hauled in six catches for 72 yards and both of Moore’s scoring passes.
USC’s Jayden Maiava passed for 306 yards and three touchdowns — two to Makai Lemon — but the Trojans (8–3, 6–2) were unable to overcome Oregon’s balance and depth.
A key turning point came just before halftime, when Malik Benson returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown, putting Oregon ahead for good.
On the ensuing drive, linebacker Bryce Boettcher punched in a 1-yard touchdown to give the Ducks a 28–14 cushion at the break.
The Trojans stayed in it midway through the third quarter when Maiava connected with Lemon on a 4-yard pass, but Moore responded with a 28-yard strike to Sadiq to extend Oregon’s lead.
In the fourth, USC reached the red zone again after back-to-back pass interference calls against Oregon, and Maiava found tight end Lake McRee for a 9-yard touchdown; their two-point try failed.

With 5:30 left, Oregon’s Whittington powered into the end zone to make it 42–27, draining the clock on a disciplined, clock-consuming drive.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning praised his team’s resilience: “We know they were going to throw some punches … I was really pleased with the guys being able to hit the reset button and saying, ‘Let’s go again.’”
Meanwhile, Moore, acknowledging the emotional stakes on Senior Day, said, “At the end of the day … you can’t let emotions take over … with the emotions come negativity.”
The win strengthens Oregon’s playoff resume and sets up a crucial season finale at Washington next week. For USC, the loss likely ends their postseason dreams — but coach Lincoln Riley remained defiant: “We had some penalties … we were gutsy … but in the end we were just a couple of plays short.”
Carson, CA – Coming off one of their most complete performances of the season, the Carson Colts — led by head coach Lowe — punched their ticket to the City Championship with a commanding 40–7 win over Garfield. The victory was equal parts discipline, physicality, and intentional coaching, and it sends Carson into next week’s title game at Southwest College with real momentum and a clear identity.
For a team that has been steadily building toward this moment, Friday night felt like a statement: Carson isn’t sneaking into the championship. They’re arriving with the door fully open.
Carson’s defensive unit has been the backbone of their playoff run, and Friday night was another example of why. Defensive coordinator Jeff “Goob” Johnson had his group playing fast, smart, and with purpose — and it showed from the opening snap. Garfield came in confident they could run the ball right at Carson, but Johnson made sure his players knew the challenge ahead.
“They thought they was gon’ come in and just run it down the field on us,” Johnson told me. “We challenged the kids on who has the tougher team.”
The Colts held Garfield scoreless until the final drive, and that only happened after the JV unit checked in for cleanup duty. Up front, sophomore standout K. Sula collected a sack and a hurry, while junior M. O’Dell recovered a fumble and controlled the boundary with veteran-level poise. Carson swarmed ball carriers, closed space quickly, and avoided the mental mistakes that plagued them earlier this season.
“We only had two flags on defense which is good… got facemask from tackling to high and an offsides, which we gotta fix,” Johnson said.
For a playoff environment, that kind of control is the difference between advancing and exiting.
While the defense was suffocating Garfield, junior quarterback C. Fields III commanded the offense with confidence and balance. He didn’t force throws. He didn’t rush his reads. He simply let the game come to him — and then took it over.
Fields III threw for 146 yards on 14-of-20 passing and added another 148 yards on the ground, including a 58-yard touchdown that sent the Carson sideline into a frenzy. His patience in the pocket and explosiveness in open space kept Garfield guessing all night.
But Fields III wasn’t alone in carrying the load.
Junior E. Myers chipped in 84 rushing yards and added 15 receiving yards for 99 total yards on the night. Senior K. Trujeque hammered in a 14-yard touchdown run. Senior N. Castillo added 20 yards on the ground to keep the chains moving. And J. Daniel quietly posted eight catches for 52 yards, moving sticks and finding soft spots in the coverage.
Z. Brock played like a man auditioning for the championship spotlight. He scored two touchdowns, added a 30-yard reception, and flipped momentum every time he touched the field.
All told, Carson racked up 273 rushing yards, 146 passing yards, and 419 yards of total offense — with touchdowns from five different players.

When a defense is already controlling the game and an offense spreads the ball that well? That’s a team built to survive November.
Head coach Lowe deserves the spotlight at the front of this postseason story. His leadership has been steady and consistent, even during the ups and downs of the regular season. But what makes this Carson team special is how aligned the entire coaching staff is — from coordinators to position coaches.
Johnson’s defense is playing its best football of the season. The offense has found rhythm and versatility. The sideline energy on Friday was unified and focused, and players mirrored the calm but determined demeanor of their coaches.
That cohesion shows up in the details — how they close halves, adjust mid-game, and respond to pressure moments. Friday’s performance wasn’t just talent. It was preparation.
Next Stop: Southwest College
The City Championship is set for Saturday, November 29 at 6:00 PM at Southwest College, where Carson will face Crenshaw (10–1) in a matchup that has been brewing all season. Crenshaw’s speed, athleticism, and big-play ability will be the headline, but Johnson made it clear the only danger is underestimating them.
“Taking them lightly,” he said. “They in a ship for a reason — we can’t underestimate them.”
At the same time, Carson respects their opponent without fearing them.
“We know they have a lot of speed, athletic guys… but we have that too, plus the front 7.”
The Colts are approaching this next step the same way they approached the semifinal: one game at a time, one play at a time.
And if Friday night is any indication, they’re peaking at exactly the right moment.
Carson didn’t stumble into a blowout — they built it. Behind head coach Lowe’s leadership and defensive coordinator Jeff “Goob” Johnson’s relentless defensive standard, the Colts showed who they are and what they’re capable of. Their 40–7 win wasn’t a surprise; it was confirmation.

Los Angeles, CA – Tuesday night at the Galen Center, No. 11 ranked USC felt unease by Portland’s pressure in the first quarter and changed it by applying back their own defensive pressure to create high octane offense that continued thru the second half onto a lopsided victory, 78–51.
Led by Freshman Jazzy Davidson, whom played the entire first half and kept her team in the game early on, made a couple of key steals to ignite either her own offense or assist one of her teammates.

“We have multi-dimensional players, like I said, we’re trying to get the ball to Ken [Kennedy Smith] in the high post or get to Jazzy in the high post, coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “They can make the right play, they can reverse it and someone can knock down threes, or they can go to the rim, or maybe they’re dumping it.”
Davidson finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists despite having five turnovers. Kennedy Smith after a sluggish start and moments of frustration found her rhythm by the second period, adding 13 points, six boards and three assists along with tying her record for triples made, three out of six.
“Last year, my role was a little bit different with my shot selection,” Smith said. “Coming in and trying to be the best version of myself is something that I’m trying to do this year.”

USC went on a 24–9 run in the second quarter and dominated until the final buzzer. The Women of Troy bench outplayed the Pilots though both teams played all of their active roster. USC outscored in every point categories—bench points (34–19), second-chance points (23–13), fast-break points (18–7) and most notably, points off turnovers (33–8).
Four Women of Troy players posted double figures including Davidson and Smith. Transfer Londynn Jones found her rhythm and shot from deep,hitting a game-high four triples to finish with 12 points, tying her season high. Also, transfer Kara Dunn warmed up for 10 points and seven boards including a highlight after an official review timeout where Smith found Dunn for a hail Mary pass that converted into an And 1, pushing the momentum for USC to a point of no return for Portland.

“It’s really unique to be able to play all these amazing teams so early into my freshman season,” Davidson said. “I’m just learning from my teammates and my coaches who have been there before and just learning from every game.”
Now USC (3-1) will have to carry their momentum into the home of their third ranked opponent already in the season when they matchup against No. 24 Notre Dame in South Bend, IN for a Friday rematch of last season. Tipoff begins at 6 pm on ESPN, ET.
SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego State used a pounding ground game and a swarming defense to capture sole possession of first place in the Mountain West with a 17-7 home win over Boise State on Saturday night.
The Aztecs (8–2, 5–1 MW) rushed for 277 yards — 150 from Lucky Sutton and 98 from Christian Washington — to overcome soggy conditions at Snapdragon Stadium and stifle Boise State (6–4, 4–2).
Quarterback Jayden Denegal scored two second-quarter rushing touchdowns, the first on a 1-yard plunge early in the frame, and the second from eight yards out just before halftime.

Boise State answered in between those scores when Dylan Riley capped a 14-play, 75-yard drive with a nine-yard TD run, but the Aztecs never relinquished the lead.
In the fourth quarter, Gabriel Plascencia added a 47-yard field goal to seal the win.
SDSU head coach Sean Lewis lauded his team’s discipline in the elements: “Great effort, great enthusiasm, great passion from the boys today … they played with emotion, but they did not get emotional. I’m really pleased with how all three phases played together.”

On the Boise State side, head coach Spencer Danielson expressed disappointment in missed opportunities: “We’ve got to be more efficient running the football … and we missed a couple of those opportunities. We’ve got to find a way to create more points.”
Defensively, San Diego State was punishing. Boise State managed just 104 passing yards, while the Aztecs zeroed in on shutting down their ground game when it mattered most.

The Broncos made one final push late, but a field goal attempt was missed and the Aztecs closed it out with sturdy ball control in the final minute.
With two games left in the regular season, SDSU has the inside track in the Mountain West title picture.
LOS ANGELES, CA – The USC Trojans earned a much-needed win to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Utilizing a second-half shutout, the Trojans overcame a 14-point deficit to down Iowa 26-21 in stunning fashion.
It’s a big win for the Trojans, who not only add another ranked win to their resume, but stay in control of their own destiny. USC will travel on the road to a top 25 program in Oregon next week for a potential CFP bid.

“I think the whole team was ready to lay it on the line today. We had guys laying it on the line, all over the place on all three sides of the ball and there’s great examples of that. When you have one or two players doing it, that’s really good for those one or two players. But when you have a whole team doing it, you have something pretty cool,” Riley said.
Makai Lemon had a nice day at the office despite the rain pouring down for a majority of the game. The junior wide receiver finished with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in the win.
“(Lemon) is as good as I’ve seen. And going back 20+ years, but he’s a really outstanding player. They’ve got a couple of other guys too, but he’s really good,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

Battling tough weather conditions, the Trojans got stunned by Iowa right from kickoff. USC fell behind early in the first quarter and never led during the first half. At one point, the Trojans trailed 21-7 before a field goal late in the second quarter made the deficit 11 points at halftime.
Suddenly, it was as if a switch was flipped and the Trojans’ offense came alive. USC quarterback Jayden Maiava directed the team to three consecutive scoring drives to begin the second half.
After settling for a field goal on the opening possession of the half, Maiava found Lemon for the lone passing touchdown of the game with 3:33 left in the third quarter to trim Iowa’s lead to just two points.
On the ensuing drive, Jahkeem Stewart gave USC all the momentum when he intercepted Mark Gronowski inside Iowa territory. A few plays later, running back Bryan Jackson rumbled his way into the endzone for a one-yard touchdown.

Just like that, after trailing 21-10 coming out of the half, USC led 26-21 over the Hawkeyes with 13:36 left in the game and never looked back.
USC linebacker Eric Gentry said the win over a historic Big Ten program like Iowa shows that the Trojans belong in the conference.
“People try to say stuff about us coming to the Big Ten and wondering how we’re going to be. This team is fitting in and more importantly setting the standard of the Big Ten. So coming in we wanted to win big games because every week is a one week season for us,” Gentry said.
Los Angleles, CA- University of Southern California got called out by University of South Carolina fans as they declared game in the first “real SC” face off among women’s collegiate basketball as SC fans begin to call the first word of their surname in the final quarter at Crypto Arena to take home the title by overpowering a relative undersized, inexperienced USC team without their past leading scorer and superstar shooting guard, JuJu Watkins, whom presence might not have made a difference tonight when it came to being out rebounded by 24 to lose 69-52 on a rare rainy evening in Southern California.
“We want these kind of games,” USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said.
Amid the dreadful, rainy weather and the dreaded absence of your program’s best player missing, the Women of Troy still exuded fight to compete with a team ranked number 2 and could arguably be number 1 throughout three periods, keeping it competitive before the Gamecocks took it away in the final period.
“Credit South Carolina for doing what they do really well. Obviously they destroyed us on the board, coach Gottlieb said. “They’re good in transition and they’re good defensively.”
Once the Women of Troy loss the opening tip, within 30 seconds of the game, the Gamecock’s lone returning starter, point guard Raven Johnson drove to the lane to score and put South Carolina first on the scoreboard for the lead that they maintained most of the first half.
“I saw some things in our team I really liked I thought we had some fight,” coach Gottlieb said. “I’m excited about what’s next for us but disappointed with the fact that we couldn’t hold on and be a little more competitive down the stretch tonight.”
Women of Troy also showed how pose and prepared they are to expect a variety of contributors this season to make up their offense as shown tonight when freshmen star Jazzy Davidson picked up two early fouls putting a wrench in her team’s early offensive plans.
“I don’t think we tried to play slow,” coach Gottlieb said. ”I think this is a team that can run and create mismatches for people and I don’t think it was pace, I think it was the lack of ability to put the ball in the basket. So yeah we want to be faster…when our three starts dropping that’ll obviously help production as well.”
Both teams struggled in the first half to put the ball in the basket, with SC Women of Troy hitting one more basket than Gamecocks as Malia Samuels hit a running floater to cut down Gamecocks’ lead to two, 32-30 at halftime.
Neither teams improved much on their offensive efficiency but the Gamecocks took full advantage of grabbing almost anything coming off the glass with their dominating size.
“I’m going to give a lot of credit to Madina [Okot] Gamecocks Head Coach Dawn Staley said. “She was where she needed to be and just from a confidence standpoint, knowing that we need her and knowing that she can execute a game plan — she is part of us finding our identity.”
Four players for Gamecocks scored in double figures including two of them with double-doubles. Joyce Edwards led her team with 17 points and 10 rebounds. While Tessa Johnson and fellow backcourt mate Johnson scored 14 apiece with Raven collecting 11 rebounds to go with 4 dimes. Ta’Niya Latson heated up in the second half to finish the game with 12 points.
Sophomore Kennedy Smith led Women of Troy with 12 points, while senior-transfer Kara Dunn had 10. Junior Malia Samuels and Freshman Jazzy Davidson added eight and six points, respectively.
University of South Carolina (4-0) takes the first “Real SC” title and University of Southern California (2-1) will look to take this game as a thermometer to check early their team’s temperature for the rest of the season.
EUGENE, OR — Under rare Friday night lights in Eugene, the No. 8 Oregon Ducks (9–1) handily defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers 42–13 as they continue their push for the College Football Playoff.
In the absence of star wide receivers Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr., and with the return of standout right tackle Alex Harkey, the Ducks relied on the run game to set the tone early. Oregon’s ground attack was led by senior running back Noah Whittington, who rushed 8 times for 72 yards and 1 touchdown. His most impressive moment came early in the second quarter, when he drove the pile five yards and broke free for a 40-yard touchdown, extending Oregon’s lead to 21–3.

Minnesota’s redshirt freshman quarterback Drake Lindsey has exceeded expectations this season as a pro-style passer with a strong arm. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning noted before the game that Lindsey has “the ability to make those throws. He gives his wideouts an opportunity to make a play down the field.”
Oregon’s secondary presented the toughest challenge of Lindsey’s young college career. He moved the Gophers downfield at times but struggled to capitalize in Oregon territory. Lindsey finished with a 59% completion rate, going 19/32 for 138 yards and 1 touchdown.
Dante Moore certainly benefited from the return of tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who hauled in 8 receptions for 96 yards and 1 touchdown. Even without two of his top receivers, Moore delivered one of the best performances of his career, finishing 27/30 for 306 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Speaking on Moore’s efficiency, Lanning made it a point to recognize the entire offense, stating, “There were some unbelievable catches that were made. That’s a great indicator of how the offense is operating, but it’s a team award. He can’t throw it and catch it.”
Oregon will stay home next week to host the No. 17 USC Trojans (7–2) in a matchup with major Big Ten implications.
Westwood, CA –The UCLA Bruins overcame a slow first half start and exploded for 46 points in the second half in their 83-62 win over West Georgia on Monday night.
Making his first career start, Trent Perry filled in admirably for an injured Donovan Dent, who is expected to return for the Bruins’ upcoming showdown vs. No. 5 Arizona on Nov. 14.
“It felt good,” Perry said. “At the end of the day, my dad always told me just create an impact when you’re coming off the bench or starting. I had no other mindset, my mindset didn’t change.”
Perry had career-highs in points, assists, and minutes as he played an extended role in lieu of Dent’s absence. In 37 minutes, the sophomore guard had 17 points, nine assists, and five rebounds.
“I’m concerned with his defense and taking care of the ball. As he gets minutes, he’ll shoot it better…He took care of the ball with nine assists to two turnovers. He’s worked hard, he’s got stronger, he’s done a great job,” UCLA coach Mick Cronin said.
UCLA’s backcourt didn’t have to do much with Tyler Bilodeau and Eric Dailey Jr. handling a bulk of the scoring. Bilodeau scored an early season-high of 21 points on 7-12 shooting from the field. Dailey contributed with 14 points and three rebounds.
West Georgia came out firing in the first half and stunned the Bruins’ defense. They shot the ball at a 69.2 percent clip from behind the arc.
“They hit some hard ones and we had some breakdowns. Obviously, they hit some hard ones that they haven’t shot all year. They didn’t shoot them last year,” Cronin said.
However, the Bruins’ perimeter defense settled down in the second half and held the Wolves to just a 33 percent clip.
In the first half, Dent’s absence was notable. UCLA shot the ball 25 percent from three and the offense wasn’t flowing early. But Skyy Clark and Perry eventually got the offense going, which led to the second-half outburst of 46 points to put West Georgia away.
The Bruins will have to quickly turn their attention to a top-15 battle against Arizona at the Intuit Dome on Friday. Arizona has already beaten a top-25 program in Florida this season. Although UCLA opened with three mid-major opponents, the Bruins have treated them as if they were top-25 teams as well.
“It’s always important no matter who we’re playing. Every day, we got to get better, whether it’s in practice or a game. We gotta look at it like it’s the last game of the year like we are playing in the tournament. Everything matters and that’s what coach has been emphasizing to us quite a bit, and what we are trying to do,” Bilodeau said.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue faced a No. 1 opponent for the first time since 1990, but Ohio State turned a shaky opening into a commanding 34–10 win Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium, improving to 9–0 behind another record-setting moment and a punishing ground attack.
Purdue opened the game with one first down before punting, but found early rhythm on its second drive. Ryan Browne went 6-of-7, including a perfectly placed 30-yard strike to Rico Walker to energize Ross-Ade. That drive stalled inside Ohio State territory, yet a 40-yard field goal gave Purdue a 3–0 lead — and brief belief.

Ohio State answered immediately. CJ Donaldson powered in from short range to put the Buckeyes ahead 7–3, but the game’s major momentum swing came shortly after: Julian Sayin connected with Brandon Inniss on a strong chain-moving grab, sparking a drive that ended with Jeremiah Smith’s touchdown. The score made it 14-3 and also placed Smith in the Ohio State record book — reaching 25 career touchdowns in just 25 games, the fastest in program history.
Purdue’s defense hung early, aided by a Buckeye penalty and a called-back long run, but a costly interception under seven minutes before halftime flipped the script for good. Lincoln Kienholz soon punched in a score as Ohio State erupted for 24 second-quarter points, seizing control while holding Purdue under 37 rushing yards and fewer than 100 passing in the first half. Time of possession nearly doubled in OSU’s favor by halftime (20 minutes to 10).

The Buckeye run game wore the Boilers down, and Donaldson added his second touchdown in the second half to stretch the margin. Purdue struggled to mount answers — Browne finished 10-for-19 for 76 yards and a pick, adding 27 rushing yards as the Boilers totaled just 186 yards of offense.
Purdue finally broke through late when Malachi Singleton found freshman Jesse Watson in the end zone, but by then the outcome was long settled.
“The second quarter got away from us — the long drive, the takeaway — it’s hard to overcome against a team like this,” Purdue head coach Barry Odom said. “But I saw some things. I’m going to keep believing we’re going to get back to those winning ways.”

Ohio State moves to 9-0; Purdue falls to 2-8 (0-6 Big Ten).
D. Wright Take Away
Early spark, same story. Purdue showed promise on that second drive — Browne sharp, crowd fired up — but one miscue and long Buckeye drives flipped the game. Against a No. 1 team, those cracks turn into craters. Next up: a road trip to Washington with upset dreams before the in-state battle vs a hot Indiana squad.
Ohio State? Slow start meant nothing. The run game leaned on Purdue, Donaldson punched in two, and Jeremiah Smith keeps rewriting history. One score, one record, same conclusion: he’s different. Buckeyes head home to face UCLA with the No. 1 engine humming.
