Anthony Richardson made sure Billy Napier’s head-coaching debut at Florida was a memorable one. Richardson, the Gators’ electric sophomore quarterback, made play after play to help Florida upset No. 7 Utah, 29-26, in front of a raucous home crowd in the Swamp. While Utah was able to limit Richardson to mainly underneath throws in the passing game, he could not be stopped on the ground. Richardson rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns on just 11 carries, including the game-winning… Source link

Arkansas beats Cincinnati 31-24, halting the Bearcats’ 22-game regular season winning streak
Cincinnati’s 22-game regular season winning streak has come to an end. On the heels of a historic trip to the College Football Playoff, the No. 23 Bearcats opened the 2022 season on the road against No. 19 Arkansas and fell 31-24. For Cincinnati, it was a case of missed opportunities and the inability to stop the run. In the first half, the Bearcats drove into Arkansas territory four different times but didn’t score a single point. Cincinnati’s offense played much better in the second… Source link

Georgia picked up where it left off at the end of the 2021 college football season on Saturday. Yeah, the Bulldogs had 15 players taken in the NFL draft and five in the first round after beating Alabama for the national title in January. But it was clear in Georgia’s 49-3 win over Oregon that there are plenty of capable replacements on the roster and that the offense could be even better in 2022. Jalen Carter commanded double teams on the defensive line and looks poised to make headlines… Source link

All offseason, Iowa’s coaches were optimistic that the team’s lackluster offense would show improvement in 2022. Maybe that improvement will show up in Week 2. Iowa won its opener over South Dakota State on Saturday in a very unconventional yet totally on brand fashion. The Hawkeyes won 7-3 in a game in which their defense scored more than the offense. The defense registered two safeties for four points. The offense could only muster a field goal. If you had to think of a team that would… Source link

Video review came to soccer promising to overturn clear and obvious errors. It was a safety net for referees, and that, we were told, was the extent of its domain. Video assistants would not re-referee the game; VAR was, in theory, a new-age mechanism to undo controversy and better the sport. But half a decade later, as West Ham furiously alleged on Saturday, it is not doing any of that. Or, rather, it is doing far too much. VAR’s biggest fault has been overstepping its bounds, as it did at… Source link

Here’s a hypothetical scenario. You’re the parent of a toddler, a little boy. His penis has become swollen because of an infection and it’s hurting him. You phone the GP’s surgery and eventually get through to the practice’s nurse. The nurse suggests you take a photograph of the affected area and email it so that she can consult one of the doctors. So you get out your Samsung phone, take a couple of pictures and send them off. A short time later, the nurse phones to say that the GP… Source link
