No. 3 Oregon upsets No. 2 Ohio State in a back and forth “Heavyweight Fight”

EUGENE, OR – The Oregon Ducks hosted their first top five matchup in Autzen Stadium history where they defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes 32-31 in what Dan Lanning described as “A heavy weight fight… [that] could go every round”.

Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel may have revitalized his Heisman campaign with a brilliant performance in which he went 23/34 for 341 yards and 3 total touchdowns. The Ducks offense has struggled with chemistry at times this season, but Gabriel’s timing with his receivers nearly perfect.

After a back and forth first quarter, momentum flipped for the Ducks in the second when they were trailing by 8 points at 14-6. Needing an answer to Ohio States scoring drive led by running back TreVon Henderson, Dillon Gabriel quickly connected with Evan Stewart on a 69-yard pass and found him again for an incredible 10-yard touchdown despite cornerback Denzel Burke grabbing his facemask.

Lanning brilliantly elected to take the penalty yards on the kickoff, where the Ducks successfully used the shorter distance to their advantage, recovering an onside kick after Atticus Sappington bounced a 10-yard line drive directly off an Ohio State defender. Sappington went on to give Oregon their first lead of the game at 15-14 with a 27-yard field goal.

The Ducks turned to Sappington once again late in the fourth quarter where he gave the Ducks their final lead of the game with a 19-yard field goal, leaving Will Howard 1:47 to march the Buckeyes into field goal range.

Howard moved the Buckeyes down to Oregon’s 38-yard line, and with six seconds remaining scrambled for 12 yards to the Oregon 26-yard line as time narrowly expired.

Dan Lanning and the Ducks have bigger goals than beating Ohio State, but Saturday’s win feel like a pivotal moment for the program. Lanning finally proved he can win the big game, and fittingly did so against Oregon’s former head coach and now offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes, Chip Kelly. After the game Dillon Gabriel said “We know this is just a step in the right direction and a big win… [but] the sun rises tomorrow and we gotta go earn it”.

The Ducks will travel to West Lafayette, IN next week to face Purdue at 5pm PST.

UCLA crumbles in second half as Bruins drop their fourth straight game in loss to Minnesota

Pasadena, CA- UCLA was one half away from picking up their first ever win as a member of the Big Ten conference against a good Minnesota team. 

Instead they blew a 10 point lead in the second half amid another poor offensive performance in their 21-17 loss on Saturday night at the Rose Bowl. 

UCLA’s head coach Deshaun Foster said his team must put together a complete performance if they want to compete.

“It was a tale of two halves. We came out in the first half and played well,” Foster said. “The discipline that we need to play in the second half wasn’t there at all. We are a one-half team right now. I have to find a way to get these guys to come out and approach the second half like we do [with] the first half of games. Until we do that, we aren’t going to be able to get out of our own way, and we are going to continue to take losses like this.”

It was a tough game for Bruins’ quarterback Ethan Garbers as he threw three interceptions in the loss but had 293 passing yards and one touchdown.

Despite throwing for a season-high in passing yards, Garbers mentioned that turnovers kill a team’s offensive chances.

“The stats don’t really matter when you have three turnovers in there. Like I said before, you will never win games with that many turnovers. I have to be better in that area,” Garbers said. 

Foster defended his quarterback after the game. 

“It’s not just Ethan out there. There are 10 other guys out there who have got to do their job for him to be successful, so we’ve just got to get back and regroup and get ready for this next week,” Foster noted. 

The Bruins had their worst rushing game of the season. They only managed to put together 36 total yards on the ground. Jalen Berger finished with a team-high of 20 yards on eight carries. TJ Harden had his worst game as a Bruin as his role continues to diminish each passing week. Harden had seven carries for 15 yards as the UCLA offensive line struggled to get a push all night long. 

The Golden Gophers weren’t much better with their rush attempts. UCLA’s defense held them to only 41 yards on the ground, including holding Minnesota’s star running back Darius Taylor to only 30 yards after he had 144 the week before.

However, once again the Gophers relied on the arm of their quarterback Max Brosmer as he threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns, including going 5-7 for 61 yards on Minnesota’s go-ahead scoring drive to lift the Gophers over the Bruins. 

Despite another tough loss, sending them to a 1-5 record, Garbers remained optimistic after the loss.

“If anything, this will just motivate us even more because we are still hungry to get a win in the Big Ten. This is just going to motivate us even more to work harder and keep this thing going,” Garbers said.

Los Angeles, CA – No. 4 Penn State overcame a 14-point deficit and tight end Tyler Warren caught 17 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown to lead the Nittany Lions to a 33-30 overtime win over USC on Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. 

USC kicker Michael Lantz missed a 45-yard field goal attempt on the Trojans first possession of overtime. Penn State got down to the 19-yard line where kicker Ryan Barker hit a 36-yard field goal to defeat the Trojans and remain unbeaten at 6-0.

“Hard-fought game, you know, just a really difficult loss,” USC coach Lincoln Riley said. “There’s really no way to sugarcoat that. Our guys fought their ass off from beginning to end. As a coach, you can’t ask for anything more than the effort that our guys put on the field. Two good football teams going at it. Came down to the last play, and it hurts to not be able to get this done.”

After a 34-yard field goal from Baker, USC running back Quinten Joyner faked a reverse handoff and raced upfield for a 75-yard touchdown. The Trojans took a 7-3 lead in the first quarter. 

USC opened the second quarter with a 7-play, 89-yard drive that was capped by a Miller Moss 9-yard touchdown pass to Joyner. Lantz added a couple field goals to give USC a 20-6 lead at halftime. Penn State didn’t score a touchdown in the first half.

Penn State cut the USC lead 20-13 with a 32-yard touchdown catch from Warren in the third quarter, The Nittany Lions got the ball back and drove 90 yards down the field to tie it 20-20 on Kaytron Allen’s 1-yard touchdown run with 4:42 left in the third quarter. 

Lantz added a 39-yard field goal to give USC a 23-20 lead at the end of the third quarter. Penn State hit a field goal to tie it at 23 in the 4th quarter. USC took back the lead 30-23 on a Kyron Hudson 5-yard touchdown catch with 4:54 remaining in the fourth quarter. 

Nicholas Singleton caught a 14-yard touchdown pass to tie it once again, 30-30, in the fourth quarter. The Nittany Lions and the Trojans traded interceptions at the end of the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime.

“It’s going to make for a great ride home. It’s going to make for a great bye week,” Penn State coach James Franklin. “There’s a ton of things that I think we’re going to be able to learn from this game, and we need to learn from this game, because we’re far from perfect. We’re also 6-0 and 1-0 this week, and we’re going to take it and run.”

USC will look to bounce back from the loss when they travel to play Maryland on Saturday, Oct. 19. 

“They all hurt. This one especially was excruciating, just in the manner that it happened,” Moss said. “I think the flip side of that is that we’ve got a really good locker room filled with really great people and really great coaches that’s going to continue to stay together and go on and run this back half of the season. And that’s the No. 4 team in the country. So what does that make us?” 

UNLV Dominates Utah State with Explosive First Half, Wins 50-34

LOGAN, Utah — Hajj-Malik Williams threw three first-half touchdown passes, and Kylin James ran for three scores as UNLV powered to a 50-34 win over Utah State on Friday night. The Runnin’ Rebels exploded for 27 points in the second quarter, setting a program record for most points in a half against an FBS opponent.

UNLV (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) bounced back after a 44-41 overtime loss to Syracuse last week, which ended their brief stint at No. 25 in the AP rankings. The Rebels’ offense rolled to 367 total yards in the first half, giving them a commanding 41-7 lead at halftime.

Utah State (1-5, 0-2) has now lost five straight games, marking its longest single-season losing streak since 2016.

“Problem is, right, there’s two halves in football, so we’re going to build off that second half.” said Utah St coach Nate Dreiling, “There’s no doubt about it, but we need to do a better job.”

James led UNLV’s ground game with 101 yards on 11 carries. Ricky White III hauled in seven receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns, while Jai’Den Thomas rushed 17 times for 139 yards and a score.

UNLV set the tone early, starting with Williams connecting with Jacob de Jesus for a 38-yard gain on the game’s first play. James followed with a 33-yard run, then capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown, putting the Rebels up 7-0 just 1:10 into the game.

Williams later completed three straight passes to White, the final one an 18-yard touchdown that extended UNLV’s lead to 14-0. Utah State responded with a 79-yard drive, culminating in a 20-yard touchdown run by Rahsul Faison, narrowing the deficit to 14-7 at the end of the first quarter.

UNLV quickly pulled away in the second quarter. After a Caden Chittenden field goal, Williams threw an 18-yard touchdown to Casey Cain. A turnover on the next Aggies possession set up another James touchdown, and Chittenden later added a 49-yard field goal. White’s 31-yard touchdown reception with 1:53 left in the half pushed UNLV’s lead to 41-7.

Spencer Petras led the Aggies with 358 yards on 35-of-48 passing and threw three touchdown passes, but it wasn’t enough to overcome UNLV’s dominant start.

Hernandez and Hernandez Send Dodegers To The Pennant

LOS ANGELES, CA–  In decisive, winner take all Game 5 between NL West foes, the San Diego Padres wilted under the pressure, as the Los Angeles Dodgers silenced the Padres bats en route to a hard fought 2-0 victory at the rowdy Dodgers Stadium.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are returning to the NLCS and will be looking to win their first NL pennant since 2020, when they won the World Series. Awaiting the Boys in Blue are the New York Mets. The National League Championship Series begins Sunday night at iconic Dodgers Stadium. 

It was the bottom of the second inning when Enrique Hernández went deep to provide the first run of the game. This was the 75th career playoff game for Kiké and the blast above was his 14th career homer in those playoff games. 

Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the mound for the Dodgers in a pitching duel facing former Dodger Yu Darvish-with the season on the line-and was magnificent. A truly resilient performance since he was rocked in Game 1.

In five scoreless innings, he gave up only two hits and one walk. He struck out two, but didn’t give up much hard contact. More than anything, he provided his team with length and didn’t give up a single run in the final game of a series that had seen so much scoring in the first four games. 

The Padres offense over the final two games was nonexistent. A new Ice Age. It seems unfathomable, however, the Padres were unable to score a single run in the final 24 innings. Sweet revenge for the dodgers who were knocked out by the same padres in 2023.

The bullpen was great in the back half of this series, just like they were in Game 1. They closed the door after Yamamoto departed in this one, too. In addition to Yamamoto in Game 5, credit Evan Phillips, Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen. 

Even with the Padres’ offense having laid dormant for so many innings, the 1-0 lead still felt pretty tenuous heading into the late innings. Teoscar Hernández made it a little easier to breathe with this blast in the bottom of the seventh.

The 31-year-old veteran had a nice bounce-back year in 2024 after a down season with the Mariners in 2023. This year, he hit 33 homers and drove home 99 runs, making his second All-Star team in the process. He even won the Home Run Derby. 

The Dodgers advance to the NLCS to host the Mets in a best-of-seven battle for the pennant. Game 1 will take place in Chavez Ravine on Sunday. 

The Mets closed their series down on Wednesday, giving them plenty of time to set up their pitching. And while the Mets were the No. 6 seed heading into the playoffs, they had the best record in baseball from June through the end of the season. 

The Dodgers, of course, had the best record in baseball, period. 

The Dodger won the season series, four games to two, and outscored the Mets 36-20. They haven’t played each other since May 29, however, so it’s hard to call those results relevant to how this series will unfold. 

Brace yourself for plenty of blue in the NLCS! 

Canes squeezed out a victory over Cal

Berkley, CA- Miami escape Berkey with a 1-point victory to advance to 6-0, 39-38 Hurricanes victory. Newly added Cal Berkey Bears to the ACC has shown that they can compete.

“No quit mentality,” said Mario Cristobal Miami coach, “The leadership on the team during timeouts was great.”

Cal was left with just :26 second on the clock but just wasn’t enough time. Maimi took a Mendoza pass for an interception on 4th down to end the game.

Fernando Mendoza threw for 2 touchdown and an interception for 285 yards on the day. He was the offense for Cal but that was enough to upset No 8 ranked Hurricanes. A bright spot for Cal was Jack Endries who caught 3 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. With five running backs they were held for 75 yards but did reach the endzone twice.

“Everybody could done better,” said Mendoza, “There’s a  great fork in the road, and every team we have on our schedule we can win.”

It was exciting day in Berkely with ESPN Gameday being on campus, having a student kick a field goal for $100,000. All they needed was a Cal victory but the Canes were to stingy. The Canes held the ball 15 more minutes then the Bears.

The halftime Cal lead of 21-10 wasn’t enough to keep Maimi at bay.    

With this victory Miami will get a much need bye week to rest and prepare to travel to Louisville (3-2). Cal Bears will travel to Pittsburgh (5-0) next week for ESPN 12:30 pst game.

University Park, PA- Flashes on the defense and the offense in Happy Valley for the UCLA Bruins was good upfront but not sustainable for four quarters. The Penn State Nittany Lions in the second quarter began to take over with 27-11.

A key point will you could clearly see that the Lions took over when guard #71 Olaivavega Ioane 6’4, 348 pounds who lined up as a slot receiver and went in motion and laid a kickout block that was felt throughout Happy Valley.

“We held UCLA to minus -9 yards in the 3rd quarter today,” said Penn State James Franklin, “Penn State are 5-0 for the 4th straight year with are the only team in country to do this.”

Now with this victory the Lions have moved to 5-0 on the season, but was held to on 322 total yards. Drew Allar threw for 237 yards with a touchdown on 17/24. He hit 8 different targets with passes after settling down find pockets in the Bruins defense picking up chunks of yardages.

UCLA coach DeShaun Foster was forced to start Justyn Martin at quarterback at the largest stadium of college football. Martin didn’t disappoint with new weight placed on his shoulders throwing for 167 yards, 22/30 pass with a touchdown.

Lions looked to pressure Martin and he remained calm in the pocket, taking few hits versing bailing out like a veteran during his first start for UCLA. Bruin fans could see why he was placed in the position to lead the team.

 “I didn’t really have to do, like, too much thinking. How we prepped during the week was, you know, pretty much what we saw out there,” said Martin, “So it was pretty easy to just go out there and execute.”

UCLA running back Jalen Berger took on a larger role in the running game with 9 carries for 38 yards during this game were it was a committee rushing attack. Keegan Jones made his presence felt with quick feet and rushing 38 yards and two catches. 

The Inglewood connection was seen with quarterback Martin finding his high school teammate in the air with a big catch out of the backfield by T.J. Harden who went racing down filed to set up Bruins first points. T.J. led the Bruins with 59 yards receiving on 5 receptions.

Penn State leaders who showed up on the field was running back Kaytron Allen who carried the load with 21 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. Then Laim Clifford hit the century mark with 3 catches for 107 yards with smooth hands. Now Tyler Warren was used a pick play to catch a touchdown pass that helped the Lions pull away.

UCLA falls to 1-4 on the season and will play host to Minnesota on Saturday October 12 at the Rose Bowl. Penn State  5-0 will travel right behind the Bruins coming to Los Angeles to face off with USC at 12:30pm at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.   

UCLA offense struggles mightily in loss to Oregon

Pasadena, CA – Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns as the Ducks downed UCLA in a Big Ten after-dark game at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night. 

UCLA’s defense gave up 28 points in the first half en route to a 34-13 loss, where the Bruins offense failed to score a touchdown. UCLA head coach Deshaun Foster tried to remain optimistic about the offense’s performance after the game.

“The game didn’t go the way that we wanted it to go. But there were a couple bright spots. We were able to run the ball a little bit better in the second half…we just didn’t really execute the way that we wanted to, offensively, to try to help our defense out.”

Aside from the 12-play, opening drive by the Bruins offense, which resulted in a field goal, UCLA’s offense was dormant for the majority of the first half.

Oregon’s rush defense dominated against UCLA, holding them to an astonishing -7 yards in the first half. However, the Bruins would find more success in the second half running the ball. TJ Harden would finish with season-highs as he ran for 53 yards on 13 carries. UCLA would go on to finish with 47 yards as a team. . 

UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers would have his worst game of the season. He threw for only 118 yards and two interceptions. Garbers would also get banged up during the game and required his right ankle to get taped up mid-game. 

Foster said that despite Garbers’ rough start to the season, which includes a touchdown to interception ratio of three to six, he still has supreme confidence in his starting quarterback.

“He’s a tough kid. He’s trying to find ways to make plays. It’s just unfortunate with what’s happening but I am riding with Ethan no matter what.”

Kwazi Gilmer made a surprising start for the Bruins as a true freshman wide receiver. He played admirably, leading UCLA in receptions and yards with four catches for 31 yards. In another surprising twist, J. Michael Sturdivant didn’t record a single catch. 

The Bruins kept it competitive for the first quarter, as they were only down 7-3 going into the second quarter. However, Oregon’s offense turned it up a notch and scored 21 points as Gabriel threw for 139 yards in the quarter as the Ducks dissected the UCLA secondary.

The Ducks were on the verge of making it 35-3 before halftime, when Bryan Addison intercepted Gabriel’s pass and took it 96-yards for a pick-six with four seconds left in the half. 

UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger said the turnover gave the defense momentum and took it with them going into the break. 

“It gives us a lot of momentum going into half, you’ve got to be able to keep it as a defense for the rest of that second half and be able to get stops. But, yeah, going into half, definitely a lot of momentum.”

Defensively, the Bruins played significantly better in the second half. They shutout the Ducks in the third quarter and allowed a garbage time touchdown in the fourth quarter. 

Schwesinger said the defense has to play more consistently  if they want to have sustained success.

“I think we just came out in that third quarter and we were doing what we wanted to do…we were able to do it for one quarter, but we’ve got to string it together for all four.”

UCLA doesn’t have it any easier next week as they travel to No. 9 Penn State for a 9 a.m. kickoff.

USC comes back to win its first Big 10 game with a 38-21 victory over Wisconsin 

Photo by Jordon Kelly / fi360 News

Los Angeles, CA – USC trailed by 11 and committed 3 turnovers in the first half before scoring 28 unanswered points and coming back to defeat Wisconsin 38-21 Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. 

Miller Moss threw three touchdown passes and Ja’Kobi Lane caught two touchdowns to help the Trojans get their first Big Ten victory. Moss finished with 308 yards and also scored a touchdown on the ground. 

“Super proud of the second-half resilience of this team,” USC coach Lincoln Riley said. “We didn’t play a very good first half in any phase. And you know, it’s kind of the second week in a row that we’ve been in the locker room and it’s like, ‘Alright, are we gonna step up and go play the way that we know we’re capable of?’ And then we did that.”

On USC’s opening drive, Lane made a sensational 32-yard touchdown catch that Moss threw between two defenders. USC took a 7-0 lead. Wisconsin answered on the next drive when quarterback Braedyn Locke hit Vinny Anthony down the sideline for a 63-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

USC wide receiver Zachariah Branch muffed a punt at the beginning of the second quarter and the Badgers capitalized on the turnover with Tawee Walker’s 18-yard touchdown run to take a 14-7 lead. 

Trojans’ kicker Miachael Lantz added a 41-yard field goal to cut the lead 14-10. Wisconsin went on a 7-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a Walker 4-yard touchdown run. The Badgers took a 21-10 lead into halftime. 

The USC comeback started in the third quarter with Moss connecting with Lane for a 6-yard touchdown. After the Trojans forced a turnover on downs, Moss hit Duce Robinson for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:28 left in the third quarter.

“At halftime, we said we like everything we have. It’s just about us going and executing,” Moss said. “And I think the good thing about that is we had autonomy and going out in the second half and controlling what we control, and going and putting up points. It wasn’t like they were doing something that was world beating, and we couldn’t execute.” 

Moss gave USC a 31-21 lead with an 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. USC linebacker Mason Cobb sealed the victory when he returned an interception 55 yards for a touchdown. It was Cobb’s second career interception  and his first-ever pick-6. It was also his first interception as a Trojan. 

Up next for the Trojans is a road game against Minnesota on Saturday, Oct. 5.
