PAWTUCKET – Jim Fleming wasn't interested in capping his team's best drive of the day with a field goal.
A short kick would have meant the lead early in the fourth quarter at Centreville Bank Stadium, but the University of Rhode Island coach felt more was needed. The Rams hadn't come all the way out from their own 2 to settle.
Terrence Campbell smashed up the middle from 1 yard out, a touchdown that served as fuel for No. 8 URI over the final 15 minutes. What was a frustrating, tense start to this Coastal Athletic ***** ociation opener with Elon wound up a relatively comfortable victory.
The Rams forced five turnovers and finally found some offensive rhythm in the second half while posting a 31-10 triumph on brilliant Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12. That's now 16 straight for URI in home games, and this temporary residence while Meade Stadium undergoes its extensive renovation was christened properly.
"You were wondering what the heck was going on in the first half," Fleming said. "As is representative of this group, they continue to go ahead and find ways."

America's F1 hopeful Colton Herta pulls out of the sprint F2 race in Madrid with illness, but it comes after the FIA penalised him to start from the pitlane.
It is not going well for America's F1 hopeful Herta at all in the FIA Formula 2 (F2) Championship in 2026. Having taken a big step to move away from IndyCar in the hope of securing enough superlicence points to race in Formula 1, potentially with Cadillac, the season hasn't gone his way at all.
Racing for Hitech GP, Herta is 17th with 26 points after 10 rounds, with a best result of fifth. The American is racing at F1's new Madring circuit in Madrid on Spanish GP weekend. He started it well in fourth. He was doing well in qualifying in the Top 10 for the most part.
However, he dropped to 12th in the end after he suffered a crash at Turn 19 to end the session. Following the day's run, just before Restricted Period One kicked in for F2 teams, Hitech GP found a problem with the American's car, which they started to work on.
Since it was a priority, they continued working into Restricted Period One and therefore were in breach of Article 21.6a of the F2 regulations. The technical delegate reported the matter, and the stewards duly penalised him with a pitlane start in Madrid's sprint race on Saturday.

Former LSU center Kate Koval has been granted a waiver by the NCAA to enter the transfer portal. The junior will be immediately eligible to compete for her next school, according to several reports.
The 6-foot-5 Ukrainian native decided to leave the LSU program two weeks ago for what was announced as "personal reasons." Speculation followed that Koval's decision was spurred by LSU coach Kim Mulkey adding Russian center Anna Minaeva to the roster.
Koval confirmed that was her reason for leaving LSU in a social media post.
"At the conclusion of last season, I fully intended to return and continue my collegiate career at LSU," Koval wrote. "However, in April, several days after the transfer portal had closed, I was informed of the decision to sign a Russian player."
"My father serves in the Ukrainian military and takes tremendous pride in defending his country against Russian aggression," she continued. "For me, this war is not distant or abstract. People close to me have been killed and wounded in Russian attacks, and places where I grew up and first began playing basketball have been destroyed by missile strikes."

Among the selection of young players that Manchester City sent out on loan for the 2026-27 season, Divine Mukasa joined West Ham. Mukasa joined the Hammers on a season-long loan. The young attacking midfielder had made three appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo's side before West Ham's Championship fixture against Wolves last night at the London Stadium. By the time that match ended, Mukasa had exploded into life as he scored a spectacular brace to help his team pick up a valuable 4-2 win over Wolves.
West Ham picked up three precious points against Wolverhampton with a 4-2 win at the London Stadium last night. The Hammers weren't at their best, but they came away from the match with a precious three points. Divine Mukasa was the star of the show for West Ham as his brace and overall performance helped inspire his team to victory.
Divine Mukasa opened the scoring for West Ham in the 33rd minute of last night's match. His first goal can only be described as a wonder strike. Mukasa received possession around 25 yards out from goal. He took two touches to steady himself to shoot. Mukasa unleashed an absolute rocket with his right foot which thundered in off the cross bar to give Wolves keeper José St no hope of making a save. Divine Mukasa's goal was one which fully displayed his undoubted talent and poise.
Divine Mukasa would add his second goal of the night in the 53rd minute. Mukasa received the ball just inside the Wolves penalty. He cut inside onto his left foot and his shot took a deflection before hitting the back of the net. Mukasa's second goal of last night's match was a fitting reward for a fine overall display from him.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was thrilled with Divine Mukasa's all-round display against Wolves. The West Ham manager was thrilled with Mukasa's work out of possession, his passing and the positions he took up in midfield. He explained after Mukasa starred at the London Stadium last night: "I'm delighted, not only for the goals but the way he played, the positions he took in the middle of the park. He is a young player with a lot of things to improve but I'm delighted to have him."

The Tennessee ******* ans have been churning their roster over the past couple of days. First, the initial cuts down to 53, followed by a Monday swap of five players.
During the wave of initial cuts, wide receiver Bryce Oliver was an unexpected cut, with the ******* ans initially keeping wide receiver Xavier Restrepo as the team's sixth receiver. That move was somewhat of a surprise because Oliver has developed into one of the elite special teamers on the roster.
After not being added to the initial ******* ans' 17-man practice squad, many wondered when/if it would happen, and now we know why. Justin Melo of Sports Illustrated reports that Oliver has signed with the Cleveland Browns and will bring his special-teams abilities to their practice squad.
Former #Titans WR Bryce Oliver is signing with the Cleveland Browns' practice squad, per source.

Oliver was considered a lock by many to make Tennessee's 53-man roster. He was a surprise cut, and now he lands in Cleveland.

Elite special teams player.
While losing Oliver will potentially hurt the ******* ans' special teams depth, the decision to initially keep Restrepo over Oliver did make some sense: Restrepo produced as a slot receiver, while Oliver has never truly established himself as a potential weapon on offense. He flashed since joining the ******* ans as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2024, but could never put it together consistently.

For the Texas football team, this is a game week. Finally.
Last week, however, was a mock week. When it came to its schedule and practices, Texas acted as if a game was happening that weekend. The team even stayed in a hotel Friday and went through its pregame routine Saturday.

The concept of a mock week isn't new, but it may have served a greater purpose for the Longhorns this season. As head coach Steve Sarkisian pointed out Monday as UT prepared for Saturday's opener against Texas State, the Longhorns welcomed nearly 50 newcomers into their program this offseason.

The Washington Commanders released 34 players over the weekend to come up with their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
However, it was perhaps the moves Washington didn't make that drew its fans' ire. Sunday was busy across the NFL with every team trimming its rosters from 90 to 53 players. Several teams made trades, including three teams looking for interior offensive line depth. That's particularly interesting, considering the Commanders' need at center behind projected starter Nick Allegretti.
Washington doesn't even know if Allegretti will be a quality center. He's mostly played guard in his NFL career. He also missed almost all of training camp. Many fans were upset that GM Adam Peters didn't address the position earlier in the offseason, and many were confused by Sunday's inactivity.
Commanders fans were mostly concerned about the offensive line and cornerback after the initial roster was finalized Sunday night. How concerned? Let's head over to X — formerly Twitter — to see some of the best reactions.
Here are 10 thoughts on the Commanders' initial 53-man roster:

1) It's obvious that Fabian Moreau is going to be back on the team as soon as Trey Amos hits IR. WSH only has three healthy CB's on the 53 until Moreau is brought back, but he's vested and doesn't need to clear…

WORCESTER – The Holy Cross football team looked forward to the challenge of and the opportunity to face nationally-ranked Lehigh, the defending Patriot League champion, in its season opener Aug. 29 at Fitton Field.
The Crusaders, largely new in 2026 with the infusion of 15 transfers and 18 first-year players and coming off a 3-9 campaign, were hopeful of starting the year fresh.
The No. 11 Mountain Hawks quickly dispelled those aspirations during a dominant first quarter.
Lehigh star senior running back Luke Yoder rushed for 90 of his 130 yards and two of his three touchdowns in the first 15 minutes, and the Mountain Hawks rolled to a 35-10 win in Rich Nagy's debut as coach.
"Against a (top team in the country), you're going to find out real quick where you're at," HC coach Dan Curran said. "There were some things we're excited about and there are some things we have to correct moving forward."

RB Leipzig will get their 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign underway at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday (15:30 CEST). Not only will it be head coach Martín Demichelis' touchline debut in the Bundesliga, but the afternoon could also feature newly-returned striker Christopher Nkunku's first appearance in three years for RB Leipzig.
What insights does Micho have into our upcoming opponents? Which players are available? Read on for all the key quotes from today's pre-match press conference.
Team news
"I'm looking forward to the first matchday. It's not often the case that an Argentine is set to head into a Bundesliga season as head coach. I will try to enjoy it, but the three points are the most important thing. The team have worked hard for seven long weeks and have improved week by week. We're ready."
"Gladbach have made a major change compared to last season: they now play one-on-one against the ball across the entire pitch. Bayern München defend that was too, as do PSG, which is why many head coaches are now adopting this approach. That wasn't the case before. We will need to be prepared for that, as it means that our opposition will close us down immediately and will press us hard. We need to make good decisions and find ******* e. We've shown the players that and we've worked on it in training."

Manager Derek McInnes says he take "full responsibility" for Rangers' "embarrassing" Conference League exit at the hands of Jablonec.
Rangers, who held a 1-0 lead going into the second leg of the play-off in Czech Republic, lost 4-3 on penalties on Thursday to crash out of Europe completely.
Derek McInnes' side actually led early in the shootout, only for Findlay Curtis and James Penrice to miss their final two penalties.
It leaves them without European football beyond August for the first time since the 2-1 aggregate defeat by Luxembourg's Progres Niederkorn in the Europa League first qualifying round in 2017.

"It's the magical summer of 2026."
That's how Dan Secatore began the game recap here at Over The Monster after Saturday's heart-pounding win at Fenway. But you know what? That's becoming an increasingly appropriate way to start off every game recap around here.
Make no mistake, the Red Sox should have lost this game. They should have lost it when they gave the Marlins 14 at bats with runners in scoring position. They should have lost it when Payton Tolle ran out of gas at the end of his outing and allowed five of the last eight men he faced to reach base (including a Heriberto Hernandez home run). And they especially should have lost it in the bottom of the tenth when Aroldis Chapman wasn't available to close out a one run game and both Andruw Monasterio and Connor Wong made critical mistakes that forced the bottom of the bullpen to get five outs.
Wong's mistake specifically should have ended the game. Wyatt Olds pitched his ***** off and nearly got the equivalent of a four out save (I'm counting Monasterio's throwing error to lead off the inning as one of them), but because Wong couldn't move his ***** , the ball went to the backstop and the Red Sox needed another inning to win the game.
Very, very rarely does a team recover from a play like this:

One player who signed for Liverpool this summer is reportedly attempting to persuade a defensive midfielder on the Reds' radar to join him at Anfield.
Last month, the Merseyside club confirmed that they'd agreed a deal to sign Colombian attacking midfielder Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional in his homeland, with the teenager moving to England next year after he's turned 18.
The youngster is now understood to have taken on some ad-hoc agency duties by trying to convince a friend of his to follow him to L4.
According to information shared on VBar Caracol (via Sport Witness), Liverpool sent scouts to watch Matias Orozco during Deportivo Cali's 2-2 draw against Inter de Bogota on Sunday, with the midfielder understood to have played well before being forced off with a minor injury in the second half.
During that livestream, it was claimed that Martinez has been trying to convince the 18-year-old (who's a close personal friend) to join the Reds.

New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola takes charge of the Reds in a competitive fixture for the first time as they face Newcastle United in their opening game of the 2026/27 season.

Kurt's first public comments since his brother's death came this week during an appearance on NBC's "Today." The emotional interview gives some insight into the traumatic experience for the Busch family.
"I was at the hospital, I was there all day, hoping, praying, hoping for a turnaround," Busch said during "Today" show Friday. "I said, 'I got you man. Come on, I got you. I got you. Come on, be strong.'"
The Busch brothers' NASCAR careers span several decades, including various championships. Kurt received entry into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2026, joining the exclusive group of 70 drivers and other members.

On my podcast yesterday morning, I discussed the implications of Alec Pierce's injury and the strong possibility that the Colts would acquire an instant-impact receiver like Keenan Allen. Later that day, Allen signed with Indy. Now let's walk through the significant fantasy implications.
Allen is not your typical 34-year-old journeyman receiver. He led all Chargers last year in total fantasy points. No longer the same downfield threat he once was, Allen is nevertheless a solid possession receiver who could push for 100+ targets.
This is terrible news for managers who believed Pierce (WR38 ADP) and/or Downs (WR42 ADP) were huge bargains. I was one of those managers, pegging Downs as a must-draft at his ADP -- an almost surefire top-38 wideout with strong top-30 upside. With Michael Pittman Jr. now in Pittsburgh, this thinned-out receiving corps would open the door for Pierce and Downs to build on the former's 2025 breakout and the latter's 2024 breakout.
There are major questions about whether Daniel Jones can feed more than two receivers per game, especially after Jonathan Taylor caught a career-high 46 passes in 2025. Jones was on pace for about 500 pass attempts last season. Between Pierce, Downs, Allen, and ascending tight end Tyler Warren, we might anticipate 400 targets at most.
As a rookie, Warren led this team with 112 looks, and he could easily hit 125+ this year. Allen should be good for 80+. It will be hard for Pierce or Downs to comfortably exceed ADP expectations.

Jhon Lucumi has given his first interview as a Juventus player, speaking to the club's official channels shortly after completing his move from Bologna.
Speaking with quotes via Juventus' website, the Colombian defender is already relishing the step up: "I'm very happy to have arrived here. I'm joining the biggest team in Italy and I'm really excited. I can't wait to adapt quickly to my team-mates and help out this season."
Asked whether any Juventus defender in history had shaped his own career, Lucumi pointed to a familiar face from Colombian football before naming three club legends: "I think the first is Cuadrado. I think he did a great job here and he's a point of reference in Colombia for having played for this team. And then Juventus have had great defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli. I think they're role models for me and for all players who play in our position."

On his early dealings with head coach Luciano Spalletti, Lucumi kept things brief, suggesting there's still plenty of ground to cover before the new season gets under way: "We've only said ******* o so far. We have time to talk and to understand from him everything he wants me to do for the team."

As Lane Kiffin settles in for his debut season at LSU, he's doing so in the second year of the revenue-sharing era in college football. It adds another layer to the NIL era, and he said the program has "evolved" with the times.
During his Monday press conference, Kiffin was asked about whether player motivation has changed as a result of NIL. The way he sees it, athletes now have even more at stake when they take the field for practice and on Saturdays for games.
$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
Previously, players were solely on a scholarship. But as roster costs go up, that means they have the opportunity to earn even more money if they perform well. As a result, Kiffin said there's even more on the line.
"We've evolved in that, in how we talk," Kiffin said. "They make a lot of money, a lot of them now. So, to me, there's a little bit of a difference in there. If you get what part of your motivation was, are you still motivated? We work through that in the way that we talk to them, the things that we point to. But also, I think, in a way, people talk about all the problems with them making money – which there are problems that come with that – there's also a good side, too, because I think they feel more like it's a big job vs. 'Oh, I just have a scholarship. I kind of show up and do football part-time.'

Din Thomas was a busy man on Saturday night at UFC 330 in Philadelphia. Not only was he carrying his usual broadcast duties, he was also cornering co-main challenger Gillian Robertson as she fought Mackenzie Dern for the women's strawweight **** le.
Robertson ended up not having an answer on how to beat Dern, whose jiu jitsu was better and striking was faster and more powerful. Din Thomas didn't have any useful advice to give her in the corner, either, relying instead on common platitudes like "Don't give up on yourself."
Following Robertson's loss, Thomas did the worst thing a coach can do: he buried his student in public. On the Paramount+ post-show, Din announced he was done cornering fighters.
"I told myself I would continue to do this until I took Gillian as far as she could go. I think that might be as far as she can go," Thomas said. "I am officially retiring from cornering fighters tonight. Yes. I'm doing the Matt Serra. I am no longer cornering fighters. I've been sitting on that and I'm telling you now, that's what I'm doing."
"It's a lot of work. It's a lot of stress. You gotta be there all week. Again, I've been slowly telling you, I don't cut weight with 'em. And it's not fair to them. They need somebody who's gonna really put that type of work in with them."
