No. 14 Tennessee (2-0) will host Kennesaw State (1-1) Saturday in Week 3 of the 2026 college football season.
Kickoff between the Vols and Owls is slated for 7:45 p.m. EDT at Neyland Stadium. SEC Network will televise the contest.
Saturday will mark the first meeting between the two schools.
Kennesaw State first fielded a football team in 2015.
The Owls began competing in FCS as a member of the Big South Conference due to the Atlantic Sun Conference not sanctioning football until Kennesaw State began transitioning to a FBS program. Kennesaw State won three Big South championships (2017-18, 2021) and advanced to playoff quarterfinals from 2017-18. The Owls advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2019 and 2021.

Argentina's state-controlled energy company YPF is close to signing several LNG sales agreements for its planned Argentina LNG project as it races toward a final investment decision later this year.
YPF CEO Horacio Marín said at the Gastech conference in Bangkok that the company expects to sign two or three LNG contracts covering between 0.5 million and 1.5 million tonnes per year each. YPF aims to have the agreements secured before partners make a final investment decision in November.
The $24-billion Argentina LNG development, backed by YPF, Italy's Eni and Abu Dhabi's XRG, is designed to turn the vast Vaca Muerta shale formation into a major source of LNG for international markets.
The initial development will feature two floating LNG facilities with combined capacity of 12 million tonnes per year, with potential expansion to 18 million tonnes. A dedicated 527-kilometer pipeline will transport gas from Vaca Muerta to the Atlantic coast in Río Negro province. YPF says the development will also include gas treatment and liquids infrastructure.
Eni and XRG each hold approximately 32% interests in the upstream blocks feeding the development, with YPF holding 36%.

The moment Vernell Brown III reached the end zone; a bolt of energy returned to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
It was energy that sat dormant for four years during Billy Napier's four years as Florida football coach. Jon Sumrall relit the flame with 66 points last week vs. Florida Atlantic, but that fire fizzled out in a sluggish first quarter vs. FCS foe Campbell.
Until Brown III caught a punt early in the second quarter.
64 yards later, he landed in the end zone. Three minutes later, Brown III once again reigned in a punt and scored another touchdown.
The two scores entered Brown into an elusive category, joining Jacquez Green as the only two Gators to return two punts for TDs in a single game.

WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - The contractor responsible for renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington told U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that errors in its work and flaws ‌in the repair plan caused the pool's liner to peel and break loose, the New ‌York Times reported on Friday, citing documents it reviewed.
Trump has repeatedly blamed problems with the newly renovated pool, including its new blue paint peeling off, on vandalism.
According to the New York Times, citing the documents, Atlantic Industrial Coatings found problems in the design and execution of the renovation.
Workers did not spray enough primer in some areas, the contractor said in the cited documents, and layers of the liner included incompatible chemicals. The bottom layer blistered and loosened ‌as the chemical on top reached ⁠a hotter temperature than the one underneath could withstand, the New York Times said.
The documents include the contractor's reports to the government and daily progress updates from ⁠the National Park Service over the past two months, the New York Times said.

Over the last couple of years, we've seen the same players who helped make Juventus Women what they have become over their first decade of existence head out on new adventures one by one. For much of that Italian core, it has involved a move to the United States and the NWSL. First there was Sofia Cantore and Lisa Boattin, then Cristiana Girelli head to the West Coast and the sunny weather of California.
Now, we have the latest pillar of the Bianconere's past heading across the Atlantic to play outside of Italy for the first time in her very accomplished career.
The club announced on Friday that Italian winger Barbara Bonansea — one of the final pieces of the original Juventus Women roster to still be playing in Turin — is heading to the United States and joining the San Diego Wave on loan. As part of the move, the 35-year-old Bonansea extended her contract with Juve until 2028. But she is now very much an NWSL player, and much like when Girelli joined Bay FC, it will be one that sees her join one of the best leagues in the world for more than just the current campaign.
The loan move, as of now, will run through June 2027, according to the Wave's press release announcing the signing.
With BB heading to San Diego and the sunny beaches that come with it, that now leaves just two original pieces of the Bianconere's ******* le-winning debut side still on the roster: Martina Rosucci and Cecilia Salvai.

Florida football began the Jon Sumrall era with a convincing 66-21 win over Florida Atlantic at The Swamp.
In this week's Swampcast, the Sun's Kevin Brockway, Noah Ram and Andrew Abadie break down the win and focus on where the Florida Gators need to improve in their Week 2 matchup against Campbell on Saturday, September 12 (5:30 p.m., SEC Network +).
Florida outgained FAU 624-396 but concerns on defense remain for the Gators in both communication and physicality.
"You knew it was going to be tough facing one of the best pass offenses in the country last season but still, some soft coverages, not much of a pass rush, some things to be mildly concerned about," Brockway said.
Abadie said it comes down to players winning matchups on the defensive line and better communication in the secondary.

LeBron James is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and his move to the Philadelphia 76ers has sparked plenty of questions about where he'll call home during the NBA season.
While reports have linked James to several possible locations, his long-term plans as a Sixer remain one of the more intriguing storylines surrounding his arrival in Philadelphia.

Week 1 of the college football season is officially under wraps. And as always, the action that played out on Saturday will have a major impact on who is playing in the future on Sunday, as several prominent 2027 NFL Draft prospects saw their draft value rise or fall depending on their performances. Let's take a look at which notable prospects performed the best this past weekend.
Jadan Baugh is already high on many people's radar as he enters the coming year after a season that saw him accumulate 1,170 yards. And he looked like he didn't miss a beat in Florida's win over Florida Atlantic in Week 1 – he managed 160 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries, good for an 11.4-yard-per-carry average. He also earned a whopping 130 of those yards after contact and forced nine missed tackles.
Rutgers may have suffered one of the most embarrassing losses of the week to UMass, but Duff established himself as a premier wide receiver in the upcoming draft. He hauled in nine receptions for 196 yards and three touchdowns, averaging over 21 yards per catch on 17 targets with zero drops.
Mensah helped lead the Hurricanes to a dominant victory in Week 1, and he did so in an efficient fashion. He went 27-for-30 passing for 400 yards and five touchdowns, completing 90 percent of his passes. He was the highest-graded passer of the week according to Pro Football Focus (PFF).

Kate Middleton is reportedly encouraging Prince William to let their children build a relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's kids. The change in approach comes as the Sussexes settle back in England. The move has brought the cousins closer than they have been in years.
Prince William and Kate Middleton's children reportedly did not meet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children during the Sussexes' recent U.K. visit. But according to a source speaking to Closer, Kate now believes the situation could become harder to avoid. The source claims Kate has told William that the children should have the chance to know their cousins.
When Archie and Lilibet lived across the Atlantic, the distance made contact easier to avoid, the insider said. With Harry and Meghan now spending more time in Britain, however, that separation could become much more difficult to maintain. Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet reportedly arrived in Birmingham, England, by private jet on Tuesday, August 26. The reported situation could also affect how William and Kate explain the family rift to their own children.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have grown up hearing about the importance of family relationships, according to the source. The insider believes the children may eventually struggle to understand why they remain distant from their Sussex cousins. "It's going to be very difficult to explain and justify" the estrangement, the source claimed. The insider added that William and Kate have always stressed the importance of getting along. That could make the ongoing divide even harder to explain now that Harry and Meghan live much closer.
The reported olive branch does not mean Kate expects William to erase everything that happened between the brothers. Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in 2020. The couple later spoke publicly about their experience within the royal family and released their Netflix docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," which explored the tensions surrounding their departure.

CNBC reported that American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) announced seven new international routes for its summer 2027 schedule, most flown on its Airbus A321XLR.
New destinations include Philadelphia to Porto and Vienna and JFK to Amsterdam and Nice, alongside a returning Reykjavik route and Charlotte-Barcelona and Chicago-Tokyo Narita service on widebody jets. American's SVP of network and schedule planning, Brian Znotins, said the XLR "really opens up the menu for all these destinations that are just too small for a widebody." The announcement came the same week that rival United Airlines, which flies more international routes than any other U.S. carrier, unveiled its own 2027 international additions. American has said its flying is split roughly 80% domestic and 20% international.
The XLR gives American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) a more flexible way to expand its international network. The smaller, long-range aircraft lets American serve thinner transatlantic markets without committing the capacity of a larger widebody jet. That flexibility opens opportunities such as Philadelphia-Vienna and Philadelphia-Porto and gives American another way to grow international revenue.
The XLR's premium-heavy configuration also gives American more room to target higher-value travelers. American designed the aircraft's new interior with more premium seating than its other aircraft, allowing the airline to offer a stronger premium product on long-haul routes. If American can fill those seats at attractive fares, the aircraft could improve the economics of its international expansion.
American also gains a competitive advantage on Philadelphia-Vienna. The airline said it will become the only U.S. carrier offering nonstop service between the two cities. That position gives American a differentiated product on the route and could help it capture travelers who value nonstop service.

Florida's "Gator Bait" cheer returned on Saturday night at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Roughly six years after the university banned their longtime chant due to "horrific historic racist imagery" that was ******* ociated with it, Florida brought back the cheer with the Gators band in the first quarter of their blowout 66-21 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday.
The song and chant returning did not come as much of a surprise. The Florida band had been seen practicing the song ahead of the season-opener, and new Florida president Stuart Bell hinted in June that the chant could be making a return.
"I know there's a lot around the Gator Bait [cheer]," Bell said in June, via the Orlando Sentinel. "It's meaningful to the Gator family. I hope we're able to have some really great conversations around that."
Florida announced in 2020, back when Kent Fuchs was the university's president, that the "Gator Bait" chant would no longer be led by the band at sporting events. The cheer and song had been popular at Florida events for decades, and is often accompanied by the Gator Chomp gesture.

Florida's 66-21 victory over Florida Atlantic was an offensive showcase for the Gators, but the same couldn't necessarily be said for the defense.
Despite the lopsided final score, Florida's defense had its share of struggles throughout the night. FAU quarterback Caden Veltkamp threw for 276 yards, while the Owls added another 120 yards on the ground.
The Gators also had trouble containing Kelby Vasin, who finished with 10 receptions for 92 yards and was a consistent, reliable target for Veltkamp.
There is plenty for Florida to clean up defensively before it faces more talented competition, but one player who consistently made his presence felt was linebacker Myles Graham. Throughout all of the defensive deficiencies, he still showed up and caused havoc against FAU, earning him defensive player of the game.
The junior finished with 10 total tackles, including four solo stops and six **** isted tackles. He also recorded half a sack and half a tackle for loss, constantly finding himself around the football.

Florida scored 66 points in Jon Sumrall's first game as head coach on Saturday night and gave up 396 yards and 25 first downs in the same game. Florida Atlantic ran 90 plays inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, converted half of its third downs and four of seven on fourth down, and still lost by 45.

"Our defense was atrocious at times, quite honestly," Sumrall said afterward. "So we had a hard time keeping pace with them. It was that way, in my opinion. Like, I watch that play, I'm a little bit frustrated about how we played defensively at times. I don't think we're as good as we think we are. I think we got some guys who feel like, you know, we've arrived in some spots and that will be addressed. We have got a lot of room to grow on defense. If it doesn't happen real fast we're going to get embarrassed and exposed handily in some spots, because that wasn't a great performance by us."
Aaron Philo completed 16 of 21 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns with an interception in his first start since transferring from Georgia Tech, and added a rushing score. Jadan Baugh carried 14 times for 160 yards and three touchdowns and was out of the game early in the third quarter with Florida up 45-14. The Gators scored on their first six possessions, went six of six in the red zone and piled up 624 yards. The 66 points were their most in a season opener since 1994.
The team that heard the "arrived" line went 4-8 last season, watched Billy Napier get fired in Oct and has three preseason All-SEC selections on the roster. Sumrall came from Tulane on a defensive resume, having played linebacker at Kentucky and coached the position there and at Ole Miss, so the side of the ball he singled out is the side he is measured on.

Six years after it was banned for its racist overtones, the "Gator Bait" cheer reutrned Saturday in Gainesville for Florida's 2026 college football opener.
The Universitty of Florida's marching band played the cheer in the first quarter of the Gators' Sept. 5 game against Florida Atlantic for the first time since then-president Ken Fuchs banned it at football games in 2020.
Former UF defensive star Lawrence Wright popularized the term in 1995 after a win over rival Florida State when he said, "If you ain't a Gator, ya Gator bait, baby." The phrase caught on with the Florida faithful during the team's run of success under coach Steve Spurrier.
Even though Fuchs acknowledged the cheer itself wasn't racist, he based his decision on the "historic racist imagery **** ociated with the phrase." The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University said that newspaper articles and imagery from the late 19th and early 20th century depicted African American babies as alligator bait, a term that was also used as a slur for Black people.

Despite Florida football opening the season with a strong offensive performance, the Gators missed one of their key transfer players.
Florida's eventual 66-21 rout over Florida Atlantic was played without wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr.
Singleton was sidelined for the game after a player fell on him while setting up a block for Vernell Brown III's 49-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Singleton never left the sidelines, and remained fully dressed out for the duration of the game.
"He had a little ankle (injury)," Florida coach Jon Sumrall said. "I don't know how severe. Tried to give it a go. We'll see. I'll have more information probably on Monday, but yeah unfortunate. It happened really, really early."

#gators #Atlantic #eric #brown

Florida football came into the season opener against Florida Atlantic relatively healthy. While Saturday night's result was ideal, the Gators are now dealing with a few injury concerns to follow heading into Week 2.
Wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. suffered an unconfirmed injury during the game, while defensive backs J'Vari Flowers and Bryce Thornton also appeared to be shaken up at different points. Thornton seemed to injure his wrist after a big hit in the first half. Their statuses moving forward remain unclear. Head coach Jon Sumrall is expected to provide additional information after further evaluation.
The Gators were also without a number of key players before kickoff. Wide receiver Davian Groce, offensive lineman Eagan Boyer, defensive lineman Stive-Bentley Keumajio-Yondju, safety Eric Parks and running back Kelvin Jimenez were not dressed for the opener, according to reports from Gainesville. Before Saturday's matchup, Jimenez was listed as out.
The extent of Singleton's injury will be the most significant storyline as the Gators turn their attention to Campbell.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jadan Baugh ran for 160 yards and three touchdowns, juking defenders nearly every time he touched the ball, and Florida opened the Jon Sumrall era with a 66-21 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.
Aaron Philo added 275 yards passing and four total scores as the Gators won their seventh consecutive home debut for a new coach. This one was the highest-scoring season opener for Florida since 1994.
Sumrall entered the sold-out Swamp amid fire, smoke and strobe lights. He delivered a fiery pregame speech on the field and then really showed what he's about with a dominant win that was never in doubt. He even had his team throwing — and scoring — in the final minute, reminding some of Hall of Famer Steve Spurrier.
Florida scored on its first six possessions. Philo connected with Vernell Brown III for a 49-yard score and then found former Georgia Tech teammate and current roommate Bailey Stockton for a 12-yarder.
Philo scrambled for a score on fourth down to make it 24-7. Brown finished with 117 yards on six receptions.

Florida football enters the start of the 2026 season fairly healthy as the Gators are set to kickoff against Florida Atlantic at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Sept. 5.
Earlier in the week, Florida football coach Jon Sumrall told reporters that tight end Evan Chieca was dealing with lower body and is questionable, while freshman defensive tackle Kendall Guervil was back practicing after dealing with a knee injury.
The only known player out for the year is running back Kelvin Jimenez.
During pregame warmups against FAU, freshman wide receiver Davian Groce was not dressed out. His injury is unknown as he was wearing street clothes.
Defensive lineman Stive-Bently Keumajou-Youndui was not dressed out with a sleeve on his leg, while offensive lineman Eager Boyer, a Penn State transfer, was also not dressed out.

Florida football officially kicks off a new era Saturday with Jon Sumrall's first game as Gators head coach.
The start of a new season – regardless of the coach – brings an excitement that's been held in a box throughout the long summer months.
But on UF campus Saturday, that excitement felt diminished. Call it the humid weather with on and off rain. Call it the late kickoff. Call it the less than marquee opponent in Florida Atlantic. Call it the holiday weekend.
Regardless, Plaza of the Americas – the hotbed of campus – looked eerily quiet three hours before kickoff.
Glenn Denning reflected that vibe. The Gainesville resident remembered when he first began tailgating on Plaza of the Americas when it stood packed with tents.

Jon Sumrall won the offseason for Florida football, as the first-year UF coach re-energized the fanbase with his authentic, energetic demeanor,
Sumrall will begin the process of trying to win the regular season in his coaching debut with the Florida Gators on Saturday, September 5 at The Swamp against Florida Atlantic (7:45 p.m., SEC Network).
Both Florida and FAU are seeking to bounce back from 4-8 seasons. Sumrall was hired from Tulane on November 30, 2025 and has placed the offseason emphasis on physical and mental toughness to help turn around a program that's endured four losing seasons in the last five years.
Florida will play before its 19th straight sellout in Sumrall's debut.
"That gameday opportunity here is unlike many out there," Sumrall said. And so, I'll be amped up. But at the end of the day too, it's really about focusing on us doing our job to the best of our ability and playing really good football. And so, you have to make sure that while you're emotionally charged up and you're hyped, that you don't forget that the main things that go on within the game aren't in the stands; it's in between the white lines."

COUNTY CLARE, Ireland (AP) — British Amateur champion Stuart Grehan didn't flinch when he was 3 down after three holes against the No. 1 amateur in golf. The Irishman rallied to beat Preston Stout on the 18th hole Saturday as Great Britain and Ireland took a one-point lead over the Americans in the Walker Cup.
Luke Poulter of England held off 17-year-old Miles Russell in the last singles match on the course, giving GB&I a 6 1/2-5 1/2 lead going into the final day at Lahinch as it tries to beat the Americans for the first time since 2015.
GB&I had a three-point lead after the opening day its last time on home soil, in 2023 at St. Andrews, only for the Americans to win 10 of the 14 matches on Sunday. The Americans had a one-point lead last year at Cypress Point and lost only one of the 10 singles matches in a 17-9 win.
"We're ahead, but we need to reset for tomorrow," said Poulter, the son of Ryder Cup stalwart Ian Poulter and a senior at Florida. He turned the match in his favor with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole and a stellar up-and-down on the par-3 16th.
The crowd created a big atmosphere as it walked the fairways behind matches and surrounded the greens on the fabled links along the Atlantic coast in the west of Ireland.

After spending six years in Montecito, California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have now returned to the UK. However, a new report claims that their homecoming has made little difference to Prince William and Kate Middleton. The news comes as the brothers' bond remains deeply strained since Megxit, fractured by explosive interviews and claims in Harry's memoir, "Spare."
After years across the Atlantic, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK last week with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Yet a friend of the Waleses has said that the move "won't make any difference" in mending fences with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Before making their surprise comeback, the Duke and ******* ss of Sussex were seen at King Charles's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire back in July. Royal observers interpreted the visit as a bid to rebuild relations with the royal family. It follows backlash over their media appearances and Harry's 2023 book, "Spare."
But a confidant of Prince William and Kate Middleton told the Daily Mail, "It makes no difference if Harry and Meghan are in Oxfordshire, California or Timbuktu. William and Catherine will continue their lives of public service. They intend to lead by example."
In fact, the royal heir is heading to India in November, with reports suggesting that Princess Catherine could join him. William will head to India for the Earthshot Prize in November 2026, though organizers have not yet confirmed the exact dates. While the Princess of Wales' attendance remains unconfirmed, the trip would mark the pair's first overseas visit since the Sussexes' return to the UK.

Florida soccer continued its unbeaten start to the season with two more matches this past week. Although the Gators experienced a minor hiccup, the program remains firmly inside the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 and will look to use the results as motivation moving forward.
With another week of action ahead, Florida will have an opportunity to bounce back, return to the win column, and continue building momentum early in the season.
Here's a look at the latest Florida soccer weekly update, including how the Gators fared in their two matches, where they stand in the national rankings, and what's ahead for the program.
This past week, the Orange and Blue competed in two contests: Jacksonville and Florida Atlantic University. First, they took on JU at home and handled them convincingly. Substitute Lena Bailey led the team in goals with two, followed by Montelene Dymond, Zoe Main, Kaite Johnston, and Lori Watanabe, each contributing one goal as the Gators defeated Jacksonville 6-0.
Though they didn't lose their winning streak, it ended in a 1-1 tie on the road against FAU. UF was the much more aggressive team in the tie, but the Owls were locked down on defense, allowing only one goal on 18 shot attempts from the Gators and also recording 10 saves in the match to UF's 4.

SCARDOVARI, Italy (AP) — Italian fishermen for two years incinerated most of the invasive Atlantic blue crabs caught in the Po River Delta south of Venice. Few Italians had an appetite for the alien predator blamed for decimating their prized Manila clams.
While experiments in containment continue, including the release of tens of thousands of octopus predators, the industry's response has been shifting to find new markets for the crustaceans. The strategy is already salvaging the livelihood of some fishermen and, some hope, may even rehabilitate the much-maligned crab's image in Italy.
Like other members of his local cooperative, second-generation fisherman Federico Zago saw his income crash after the crab invasion. The Polesine Fishermen's Cooperative Consortium's revenues fell 75% to 15 million euros ($17 million) in 2024 and 2025; the cooperative's active members also shrank from 1,500 to 850.
"We needed to change strategy, and create an opportunity from this disaster," said Paolo Mancin, the cooperative's president.
Desperate, they pivoted to exporting the unwanted crabs, with the aim of preserving the Manila clams — invasive themselves — and mussels that created decades of prosperity in the shallow lagoons of Veneto and Emilia Romagna.

Ten months ago, the Los Angeles Rams conducted an audacious experiment.
They sought to reduce the toll that transatlantic travel takes on players' bodies by approaching a game in London like a hit-and-run mission.
Instead of flying out a few days before kickoff the way most NFL teams do, the Rams arrived in London just a day before facing the Jacksonville Jaguars and began their journey home soon after the final whistle. There would be no need for body clocks to adapt to the eight-hour time difference, the Rams theorized, if the trip was as short as possible.
Poking holes in the Rams' tactics became harder over the course of a crisp 35-7 pummeling of a Jaguars team that only lost three other games last regular season. "The way the guys played showed it was the right decision," Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters after his team brushed off the absence of injured star receiver Puka Nakua, charged to a 21-0 halftime lead and coasted to a blowout victory.
Emboldened by last year's successful trial run, the Rams are getting even more daring. They're applying the same philosophy to the longest trip in NFL history, a 16-hour flight to Melbourne, Australia, covering nearly 8,000 miles. Australia hosts its first NFL game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, September 11 when the Super Bowl favorite Rams open their season against the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is at 10:35 a.m. in Melbourne so that the game airs in prime time on Thursday, September 10 back in the U.S.
