Brian Kelly’s first game at LSU was a special teams disaster. The Tigers lost 24-23 to Florida State on Sunday night after they had two kicks blocked and dropped two points. The final blocked kick came on a game-tying extra point with no time left after Jaray Jenkins caught a two-yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels. LSU and Kelly could have gone for two and the win but instead played for overtime in New Orleans. That turned out to be the wrong decision as Florida State’s Shyheim Brown prevented… Source link

It was ugly, just the way Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller wanted it. Maybe a little uglier than most others would have liked. But the No. 3 seed Sun couldn’t buy the first vowel in “offense” and lost the mightily messy Game 3 affair to the No. 2 seed Chicago Sky, 76-72, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Sunday. Chicago leads the best-of-five series, 2-1, and is one victory away from a return to the WNBA Finals that tips off in one week. Connecticut will need to win out, including… Source link

No. 2 Ohio State scored its fewest points since 2018 in a 21-10 win over No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday night. The high-flying Buckeyes offense was slowed by a great Notre Dame gameplan and an injury to star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But Ohio State had just enough to get the job done after preseason Heisman favorite C.J. Stroud hit Xavier Johnson for a go-ahead 24-yard TD with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The catch was Johnson’s first collegiate TD. Ohio State took a 7-3 lead… 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

Somehow, some way she got stronger. And then stronger again. Faster and then faster again. Better and bolder and as big as the moment. The longer it went, the more she seemed to believe, seemed to say, yes, retirement is coming, but not today, not tonight. None of it made any sense. Maybe none of it ever did with Serena Williams. Via an intense, emotional, improbable performance Wednesday, Serena Williams defeated Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-2 to advance to the third round of the U.S…. Source link

The college football season is upon us and so is our annual Top 25. This year Yahoo Sports revealed the teams from No. 11 to 25 at once before we publish each of our top 10 in separate posts in the days leading up to Week 1. That continues with No. 2 Ohio State.

With sparkles in her hair and glimmering flashes of what was — quite perfectly — as much cocktail dress as tennis outfit, Serena Williams was serving for the set but down at deuce. The US Open crowd was amped but nervous. Serena was a 23-time major champion. Her opponent, Danka Kovinic, was a 27-year-old who had never been past the third round in a major. Back in the day, this would have taken about 53 minutes. Serena is 40 now, though, mother to a 4-year-old daughter. She’s been… Source link

Candace Parker did just about everything in her power to lead the Sky to a win on Sunday night. It just wasn’t quite enough. The Connecticut Sun fended off a massive fourth-quarter push, and a historic outing for Parker, to beat the Sky 68-63 in Game 1 of their semifinals series at Wintrust Arena. “A lot of free-flowing offenses of the four teams left, and we know who we are,” Sun coach Curt Miller said, via ESPN. “We’re blue collar. We’re going to be good around the basket. We’re going to… Source link
