Saturday was not a day for the Big Ten to champion the depth of the conference. Sure, Penn State got a convincing road win over Auburn and Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin did what they were supposed to do against overmatched opponents. But the teams below them in the conference pecking order didn’t cover themselves in glory. We’ll start in Lincoln, where Nebraska gave up 49 points to Oklahoma in its first game after Scott Frost’s firing. Interim coach Mickey Joseph’s tenure started… Source link

On the heels of a huge upset over Texas A&M, Appalachian State looked like it was going to fall back down to earth with a disappointing home loss to Troy. But then something miraculous happened. With two seconds left in regulation and his team trailing 28-26 from its own 47-yard line, Chase Brice lofted up a Hail Mary to the end zone. The ball didn’t even reach the goal line but it deflected into the arms of Christan Horn at the 7-yard line. Horn then got a block and waltzed into the end zone… Source link

Coming off a week full of upsets, Saturday’s lineup provides several more opportunities for highly ranked teams to run into trouble. Will we see more chaos in Week 3? Here’s what we’ll have a close eye on today. Time: 12 p.m. | TV: Fox | Line: Oklahoma -10.5 | Total: 65.5 Oklahoma opened the week as a 14.5-point favorite on the road in Lincoln against Nebraska.

If you ever spent what seems like a lifetime to get a beverage at a sports or concert venue, check out what’s in Denver. At Empower Field at Mile High, thirsty football fans will spend more time watching their new quarterback Russell Wilson do his thing—and less time waiting in long lines for a drink. That’s because TendedBar, an automated cocktail bar company based in Jacksonville, Fla., is adding Empower to its roster of venues. “I’m here to watch a game, to see a concert, an… Source link

E.J. Warner, the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, started as quarterback for Temple on Saturday for the first time in his career. Warner’s presence in the starting lineup, however, wasn’t quite enough to lift the Owls to the win. Rutgers beat Temple 16-14. Warner finished 19-of-32 for 215 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception. His touchdown came on a 47-yard connection to Jordan Smith in the fourth quarter. The young Warner is a true freshman. He’s replacing D’Wan… Source link

With the stock market in a deep funk (and getting funkier by the day) investors are looking for safe places to park their money, like stocks that pay healthy dividends. Which would be telecom stocks, right? Maybe not. The truth is that telecom stocks — there are really only three biggies these days; AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) and T-Mobile (TMUS) — aren’t what they used to be. Some say that has to do with their disastrous forays into the world of media, but it’s probably more a matter of… Source link

The Tesla Model Y.Tim Levin/Insider I drove a Tesla for the first time and came away impressed with the much-hyped brand. The Model Y’s sleek interior, speedy acceleration, and innovative tech features set it apart. But its oversized touchscreen and lack of physical buttons isn’t for everyone. Tesla created and dominates the burgeoning market for electric vehicles. But can the startup’s popular cars withstand a barrage of competitors from titans like Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen? That’s… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. Saturday is packed to the brim with MLB action as there are 17 games on the slate. That’s more than there are teams for, which means doubleheaders and those matchups are removed from DFS contention. The main slate of contests start at 7:10 p.m. EDT. Here are my lineup recommendations. Pitching Zac Gallen, ARI vs. SD ($53): Gallen’s scoreless streak ended, but he only allowed three runs in six innings with 11 strikeouts at Coors… Source link

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis broadcast his national ambitions this week by taking credit for a flight that sent undocumented immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, making him the latest conservative lawmaker to protest the rise in illegal immigration by shipping border crossers to a liberal state. The governor’s stunt may have broken the law, and spurred locals to assist the migrants. It’s nonetheless likely to strengthen his position as former president Donald Trump’s most formidable… Source link
