The search giant is now reportedly working on “a new iteration of smart glasses.” According to a report by The New York Times, Google is banking on its North acquisition to jump on the AR bandwagon (via Android Police).

The Wizards led through most of the contest, but the Bulls finally tied things back up with just more than two minutes to… Source link

Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned in the best receiving performance in bowl game history as No. 6 Ohio State stormed back to beat No. 11 Utah, 48-45, in the Rose Bowl. Smith-Njigba had 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns and what we all thought could be the game-winning score in an incredible throw-and-catch from C.J. Stroud with less than five minutes to go. But it wasn’t. The TD came after Utah QB Cam Rising had to leave the game after his head hit the turf while he was getting sacked. Rising… Source link

Everything was going wonderfully in Marcus Freeman’s debut as Notre Dame head coach. And then the wheels fell off. Facing Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, Notre Dame was carving up the OSU defense with its passing game and jumped out to a 28-7 lead late in the first half. And with the Notre Dame defense stifling the OSU offense, it looked like the Irish would cruise to a victory to kick off the Freeman era in South Bend in style. Instead, Oklahoma State stormed back and scored 30… Source link

Goran Dragic is currently on leave from the Raptors, but staying fit in the Heat’s facilities.

Herbstreit criticized players who opt out of bowl games during ESPN’s “College GameDay” show on Saturday morning.
