No. 4 Notre Dame’s double-overtime victory over No. 1 Clemson will be remembered as a game of historical consequence that may have few consequences. It was steeped in history, but could be recast in just a few months. It had the requisite historical touchstones, officiating controversies (and delays) and a scintillating performance by a star — freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei — that we’ll be gazing at for many more autumns. Make no mistake, Notre Dame outlasting Clemson, 47-40, in… Source link

(Bloomberg Opinion) — This was supposed to be a time when things were getting closer to normal for OPEC.

As soon as Clemson’s last attempt to score in double overtime fell short, Notre Dame fans rushed the field as if their team wasn’t playing in a pandemic that reached a new peak this week in the United… Source link

The competition for the last spot is more open than it has been in years as five-time defending Big 12 champion Oklahoma is already sitting on two losses. While OU isn’t currently in first place in the Big 12, the Sooners can win out and take a sixth… Source link

There have been some truly grotesque endings to MMA fights in the past, but’s hard to imagine how you top a person having their ear nearly ripped off from their head. That was unfortunately the reality of one fight at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. A bout between welterweights Max Griffin and Ramiz Brahimaj was called in the third round after referee Mark Smith noticed the state of Brahimaj’s ear after taking a hard elbow to the head. Viewers watching closely would have seen… Source link
