The Washington Huskies have a problem on offense.
Jedd Fisch's unit has now scored 40 points in their first two games combined, ten fewer points than the Huskies were favored to win those two games by (23.5 against Washington State, 26.5 against Utah State). Washington has finished with more than 350 yards of offense in both of those games, but has found itself completely unable to move the ball consistently or score points efficiently through the first two games.
Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has struggled to throw the ball in rhythm, often opting to scramble and utilize his talent as a runner to keep the offense on track. Washington has needed that from him, too: Williams has been the Huskies' leading rusher in both games as the running back depth has been decimated by injuries to Jordan Washington, Quaid Carr, and Jayden Limar.
But there has also been opportunity for Williams to throw the ball more effectively. He's missed several what should have been easy throws in the flat and placed longer throws into the end zone out of reach of his receivers more often than he's found those plays. It hasn't been all on Williams, however: starting X receiver Christian Moss left after two snaps in the Apple Cup, and starting Z receiver Rashid Williams left early on Saturday against Utah State, thrusting true freshmen Jordan Clay and Trez Davis into action. Dezmen Roebuck and running back Trey Cooley both also dropped passes that could have easily been touchdowns on Saturday, further putting the offense behind schedule and making for a messy operation.
"As an offense, we shot ourselves in the foot a lot," Williams told the media after the game.

Andres Cortes remained unbeaten with a solid but somewhat strange victory over Mark Magsayo, who may have set a new record for amount of times a fighter was knocked down but officially wasn't, and a late rally from Magsayo wasn't nearly enough.
Two knockdown calls by referee Celestino Ruiz were reversed, and Magsayo was down without being ruled down twice after that, which was probably the most memorable thing about the fight.
The former featherweight ****** leholder Magsayo (29-3, 19 KO) did show some signs of life late in the fight, but it couldn't overcome the earlier lead built by Cortes, who improves to 26-0 (13 KO).

The Dallas Cowboys enter their 2026 season opener against the New York Giants banged up in one key spot, but otherwise in solid shape as they prepare for Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Running back Malik Davis is the only Cowboys player carrying an official game status on the final Week 1 injury report, and he's out with a significant hip injury suffered Friday. Beyond that, head coach Brian Schottenheimer's roster is largely clean heading into the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Texas senator Ted Cruz, whose attendance at big sporting events hasn't always gone well for the Lone Star State's teams, appeared on College GameDay on Saturday ahead of the Longhorns' home clash with Ohio State.
While we're not sure the reason why, the crowd booed Cruz and heckled him throughout the nearly 10-minute segment with Rece Davis. College GameDay crowds are usually bipartisan and sports-focused, so perhaps the jeering was purely because of Cruz's spotty track record with his teams winning when he attends the games.
We're not sure what exactly caused this, but it's certainly notable whenever a political figure of any party gets such a negative reaction from a crowd like this.
ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes.
Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin. pic.twitter.com/npQesiYMsG
Maybe the Longhorns will still prevail with Cruz presumably in attendance for Saturday night's game, pushing against the fears of the "Ted Cruz curse" that lingers when he's in the stands.

The Dallas Cowboys will have another running back on the active roster to go along with Javonte Williams, Emari Demercado, and Hunter Luepke. They have signed Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad as a counter move to Malik Davis going on injured reserve with a hip injury. Sources indicate it could be season-ending.
Cowboys placed RB Malik Davis on injured reserve and signed RB Israel Abanikanda to their active roster from their practice squad.
Abanikanda first came to the Cowboys last November after spending time with the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and the Green Bay Packers. In January, he signed to a reserve/future contract before getting waived in August during final roster cuts. However, he was signed to the practice squad the next day.
This gives the Cowboys another option at running back that is fully up to speed on the offense and should be able to contribute if asked. He hasn't had much production with just 70 rushing yards and 43 receiving yards, but team will not ask much of him right away as Demercado should pick up much of the work.

Sen. Ted Cruz got a rough welcome from the College GameDay crowd in Austin.
Cruz appeared on ESPN's Saturday morning pregame show ahead of No. 4 Texas' matchup vs. No. 1 Ohio State and was met with loud boos while discussing the Protect College Sports Act, according to Sports Illustrated. Video shared by Awful Announcing showed the Texas Republican being booed during the segment, with some in the crowd chanting, "Ted, you suck!"

The segment lasted nearly 10 minutes, according to Awful Announcing, and featured Cruz speaking with host Rece Davis about the college sports bill.
The Protect College Sports Act is a federal proposal backed by Cruz and Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., aimed at setting national rules around college athletics, including name, image and likeness deals, transfers and eligibility. Cruz has argued the bill is needed to bring order to college sports, while critics have raised concerns over athlete compensation and federal involvement.

Uncrowned has Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, highlights and start time for the Garcia vs. Benn fight card on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two of boxing's biggest and most polarizing stars go head-to-head as Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight ******* le against Conor Benn in the night's main event.
Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) captured the WBC welterweight ******* le with a dominant unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios this past February in Las Vegas. He has two defeats: a 2025 decision loss to Rolando "Rolly" Romero for the WBA welterweight ******* le and a seventh-round TKO at the hands of Gervonta "Tank" Davis in 2023.
Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) narrowly fell short against Chris Eubank Jr. in a Fight of the Year in April 2025. He avenged that defeat last November, knocking down Eubank twice in Round 12 to seal a masterclass performance.
Benn shocked the boxing world this past February by announcing a defection from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Benn outpointed Regis Prograis in his Zuffa debut in April.
In the night's co-feature, former two-time IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (30-0, 23 KOs) challenges WBC champion Noel Mikaelian (28-3, 12 KOs). Although there is no official confirmation yet, the WBC cruiserweight ******* le isn't expected to be on the line, with Mikalian set to be stripped by the sanctioning body upon the start of the bout.

Washington hosts Utah State tomorrow but before we transition to Saturday's gameday coverage. Here is the Week 1 mailbag!
Chicken Little: Is it time to panic?
I wouldn't say the sky is falling, but there is certainly plenty of reason to be concerned. The Huskies' struggles on offense are excusable, but they make you seriously consider a complete shift in expectations now that their two best running backs will miss time. Washington is in desperate need of a hot start to stay as healthy as possible for the toughest games on the schedule, which come in the second half of the season. I get that rivalry games can be funky, but there is zero reason why the Apple Cup should've been as close as it was. Wazzu's offense was horrid, and Washington's was equally so until the fourth quarter. For a team wanting to compete with the Big Ten elite… that's bad. I'm not panicking just yet, but I am considering lowering my win total because I'm not sure if UW will be healthy enough to be the best version of itself.
iadawg: Ellinneus Davis was supposed to be the best defensive lineman but he only had the third most snaps of defensive linemen. Can you explain this? Thanks.
Definitely strange, but I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it unless it happens against Utah State and Eastern Washington. There's a good chance he had a minor injury bugging him, or head coach Jedd Fisch and defensive coordinator Ryan Walters saw opportunities with other lineman and took advantage. In the end, it worked out for the Huskies. His lower-than-expected usage rate is not a trend that I think will continue through the remainder of September.

The Virginia Cavaliers did not mess around on Friday night, taking care of Norfolk State, 59-3. As expected, the 'Hoos overmatched the Spartans for 60 minutes, allowing all sorts of reserves to get live reps in the second half.
Three different UVA quarterbacks threw touchdown passes. Beau Pribula, who played the first two quarters, was once again ultra efficient, throwing for 162 yards on 12-of-14 passing with three touchdowns. Of note, Pribula did not have a single designed rushing attempt; offensive coordinator Des Kitchings chose to keep him upright and allow him to sling the rock from the pocket instead.
Backups Eli Holstein and Cole Geer ultimately had limited passing attempts, but both had one impressive throw to build on. Holstein opened the second half with a beautiful goal line fade to Ty'Lyric Coleman in the back corner of the end zone, while Geer found high school teammate Williem Thurber on a tight window up the seam for 28 yards in the fourth.
At the skill positions, wide receiver Jacquon Gibson got himself on the board with two touchdown catches from Pribula, after failing to reach the end zone a single time with UMass in 2025. Meanwhile, sophomore Xay Davis showcased his burst out of the backfield, totaling 107 ticks on 13 attempts.
On the defensive end, Kam Robinson made his way back to the field (in a limited capacity), a welcomed sight for the Cavalier faithful. The first-team secondary looked particularly strong, with Brandyn Hillman hauling in his second and third interceptions of the season, and Jacobie Henderson displaying some playmaking ability of his own. Sophomore linebacker Justin Rowe added a pick six in the final minutes for good measure.

Final Eagles injury report ahead of Week 1 game vs. Commanders appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After watching their 2025 NFL season get derailed by injuries – in addition to the play-calling faux pas of Kevin Patullo – the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves relatively unscathed heading into Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.
Now granted, that can change in a hurry, as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots quickly learned in their Wednesday night Super Bowl rematch, but with their final injury report submitted before Week 1, only two players appear: star free agent edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, who is officially out, and rookie tight end Eli Stowers, who is questionable to make his NFL debut against the Washington Commanders.
While Greenard won't be on the field in Week 1 alongside Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and company, it sounds like his absence won't be an extended one, as he said he was "close" heading into Week 1.

#24 Oregon volleyball travels to Tempe for a weekend slate of matches where the competition will step up from the past two weeks.
DOWN GOES NO. 7 🚨🚨🚨
Aggies take down the Sun Devils in the first ranked win in program history!!!#GoAgs pic.twitter.com/OuVC8R3kFk
Tonight's match is against the weekend host, the #7 Arizona State Sun Devils, who are reeling after being upset yesterday against the unranked UC Davis Aggies. The Oregon/ASU match will be one that you won't want to miss – was last night's loss by ASU an outlier? Can the Ducks swoop in and tally an upset of their own? This is likely going to be a match where small mistakes will loom large, and we're certain to get a sense of where Oregon is at before the grind of Big Ten play in a couple of weeks.
Weekend trip to the desert😎
Snyder-Park Classic | Tempe, Ariz.
Friday at No. 7 Arizona State – 6 p.m. [ESPN+]
Saturday vs UC Davis – 1 p.m.
Sunday vs San Diego – 2 p.m.#GoDucks pic.twitter.com/bt1tAHKoQP
When: Today, 6:00 pm PT

Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 11, and has been ruled out for Week 1.
SOURCE: Todd Archer - ESPN
Why It Matters: Davis suffered the injury during practice, so fantasy players can keep an eye out to see how long he may be sidelined. Javonte Williams will see most of the work at running back in Week 1 and can be at least a No. 2 back in fantasy leagues.

The Tennessee **** ans made the first somewhat surprising pick of the 2026 NFL Draft when they selected former Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate with the number four overall pick. With his first NFL game on the horizon, CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson believes he was worth the fourth overall pick for the **** ans.
Tate was drafted with the expectation that he can become a foundational piece of the offense and a long-term number one target for second-year quarterback Cam Ward. That might be a lot to ask from a rookie, but everything about the situation suggests the **** ans had a plan.
The biggest question surrounding the **** ans' selection was whether Tate's talent will eventually justify taking him fourth overall. Including Tate, only five wide receivers (six if you include Travis Hunter) have been selected in the top five of the NFL Draft since 2015.
Excluding Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter, former **** ans WR Corey Davis had the worst rookie season of those top five selections with 375 yards and 0 touchdowns. So, it made sense why **** ans fans, specifically, may have had concerns about the Tate selection.
However, a strong training camp has many anticipating his NFL regular-season debut. Tate doesn't need to immediately become one of the best receivers in the NFL for the pick to be successful, but Tennessee needs to see enough flashes to believe they have found a long-term offensive cornerstone.

On Aug. 27, 18-year-old Addisyn Baird was in Hartford, Connecticut, preparing to play in a hockey tournament when she received a life-changing phone call.
The call was from Justine Siegal, commissioner of the Women's Pro Baseball League (WPBL). The Los Angeles Queens needed another player after one of their outfielders left to play for Curaçao's national team and the team wanted to sign Baird as a replacement for the remainder of the season.
"How fast can you get here?" Siegal asked.
The next morning, Baird played in one hockey game. Then she and her dad jumped in the car and drove more than 20 hours to Springfield, Illinois, where the WPBL plays all its games. On Sept. 3, Baird made her professional debut for the Queens, whose roster includes former Little League World Series phenom Mo'ne Davis.
Baird is the only current high school student playing in the inaugural season of the WPBL, which launched in August with four teams. The WPBL playoffs are underway this month, with two best-of-three semifinal series preceding a best-of-five championship series scheduled to begin Sept. 16.

Duane "Keffe D" Davis is pushing back hard against his murder conviction, vowing to fight the verdict in court.
In his first interview after a Las Vegas jury found him guilty of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon in the 1996 killing of 2Pac Shakur, Davis spoke to The Hollywood Reporter shortly after the verdict.
"Shit, I ain't worried. I'm getting out on an appeal. We already filed it before the trial even started. They violated my civil rights!" Davis said.
"I'm innocent, man. They got an innocent man sitting in jail. I've got two grandsons that are going to the pros in football," Davis continued. "They All-Americans—one of them is in high school. He has 25 scholarship offers, and the other one is in college. And when they get their millions, they're coming to get me out of here."

Former All-Star believes the Wizards could lose Anthony Davis and still reach the Playoffs originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season, the Washington Wizards have made some promising developments. They boast a talented squad, and people might not be aware of the number of talented players they have on the roster.
Of course, most people will recognize Anthony Davis and Trae Young as multi-time All-Stars. However, it seems that Davis is not that integral to their plans, especially with trade rumors following him everywhere he goes.
As a former All-Star guard, Jeff Teague knows what it takes for a team to succeed. He was part of that Atlanta Hawks team that became the first seed in 2015, but still disappointed in the Playoffs.
At the moment, the Wizards' focus must be on succeeding in the regular season. It will be quite challenging because of the abundance of talent in the Eastern Conference, so all hands on deck is needed for them to achieve that goal.

Viola Davis has been ranked the most fabulous Gen X actress in Hollywood, but the acclaimed performer says there was once "no evidence of greatness" in her life. The 61-year-old landed the No. 1 position on AARP's Movies for Grownups list of the 25 Most Fabulous Gen X Actresses.
Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Penélope Cruz and Drew Barrymore completed the top five, while other major names such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Cate Blanchett and Salma Hayek also earned spots. For Davis, the honor reflects a journey that began in poverty and eventually led her to some of the most celebrated roles of her generation.
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Davis spoke candidly to AARP's Movies for Grownups about growing up as one of six children in condemned apartments. The actress has previously discussed searching through garbage cans for food and living in rat-infested homes.
"I grew up in abject poverty," she told the publication. "There was no evidence of greatness in my life. So I had to have magic … I had to dare to ask the big, big question: 'What if, Viola? What if there's something out there for you?'"

ESPN ****** yst predicts two Eagles DL could 'surprise people' in 2026 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Eagles have built up one of the NFL's best rosters, and one of their best position groups is their defensive line.
Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are two superstar DL, and Moro Ojomo is poised to land a major contract if he continues his breakout. Jalyx Hunt could also break out in a big way in 2026 off the edge. But there are two other DL who could have big seasons.
ESPN ****** yst Jeremy Fowler is predicting that those two young DL, Bryon Young and Ty Robinson, will "surprise people" during the 2026 season.
"Watch for Byron Young and Ty Robinson to become the next young Eagles defensive linemen to surprise people," Fowler writes.

Ahead of the Indianapolis Colts' Week 1 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has revealed the team's plan at linebacker.
According to Jake Arthur of Roundtable Sports, Anarumo said that the Colts will probably go with Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jaylon Carlies to start, although that could change during the week of practices.
Anarumo added that this is a position that will be rotated and the evaluation will be ongoing.
#colts DC Lou Anarumo said they'll probably roll first with Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jaylon Carlies at linebacker, but they're going to keep evaluating all week. Linebacker will be a rotation that they'll always be evaluating.
Davis-Gaither being one of the starters does not come as a surprise. As this position was rotated heavily throughout training camp, Davis-Gaither seemed to become one of the constants at the position.

Prosecutors in the 2Pac murder trial were asked this week whether they were now considering a potential criminal case against Diddy following the conviction of Duane "Keffe D" Davis.
As previously reported, Davis, 63, was found guilty in Las Vegas court at the top of this week of orchestrating Pac's 1996 drive-by shooting murder. Sentencing is slated for next month, with Davis potentially facing life behind bars.
Diddy, notably, has long denied having anything to do with Pac's murder. However, Davis famously alleged that the Bad Boy Records founder, currently serving out his own sentence at Fort Dix after being convicted on Mann Act violations in an unrelated case, once offered him $1 million to kill Pac. To be clear, he has not been formally accused of a crime in connection with the deadly shooting.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Asked about this at a press conference this week, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson noted a lack of "sufficient evidence" to charge additional persons at this time, though he didn't totally shut down the possibility in the future.

Outside the quarterback battle, no player on Iowa's roster made more headlines this offseason than transfer wide receiver Tony Diaz.
Diaz transferred from UT Rio Grande Valley, hoping to become a difference-maker for the Hawkeyes' offense. The 5-foot-10 third-year receiver was super impressive throughout the summer, reportedly dominating in camp and earning a starting spot in Week 1. Plenty of national media members had taken notice of Diaz as the season neared. Just hours before Iowa's season opener on Saturday, that trend continued.
ESPN's "College GameDay" crew was in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday morning in anticipation of the LSU-Clemson game. During the show, the conversation shifted to the Hawkeyes, with the crew giving their thoughts on Kirk Ferentz's team entering the new season. Soon after, ***** yst Pat McAfee brought up Diaz, prompting host Rece Davis to list his 2025 stat line.
In Iowa's opener against Northern Illinois, Diaz lived up to the GameDay hype. Diaz finished with seven grabs for 84 yards and a touchdown. The San Marcos, Texas, product had a good rapport with both Hank Brown and Jeremy Hecklinski. Diaz won on his routes, created a ton of separation, and looked extremely shifty in the open field.
"If he's out there healthy, that's what he does. He got banged up a little bit in the spring, but he just plays hard and he plays fast also. He is fast and plays fast. As dumb as it sounds, he's really aggressive catching ***** . That does sound dumb and kind of silly in some certain ways.

The Philadelphia Eagles are less than ten days away from opening up the 2026 regular season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see the defense far ahead of a revamped offensive unit. Vic Fangio's defense is among the NFL's best, and his personnel will change with the situation, making a traditional 11-player depth chart less useful than identifying his primary packages.
Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo should anchor the defensive line, with Ty Robinson and Byron Young rotating heavily enough to receive meaningful snaps. Carter will remain the interior pass-rush centerpiece, while Davis' conditioning should allow him to handle another substantial workload.
Nolan Smith is projected to start on one edge. Jonathan Greenard was acquired to start opposite him, but his uncertain Week 1 availability could push Jalyx Hunt into the opening lineup. Epenesa and Ebiketie provide experienced rotational depth. Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell give the Eagles two linebackers capable of rushing, covering, and defending the run. Trotter should remain involved, particularly in packages that allow Campbell to move toward the line of scrimmage.
Riq Woolen and Quinyon Mitchell project as the outside cornerbacks, with Cooper DeJean operating from the slot. DeJean's versatility also allows Fangio to move him to safety and insert Carter into the nickel role. Mukuba and Epps are the projected starting safeties, but Philadelphia's actual secondary could contain six defensive backs on obvious passing downs.
The depth gives Fangio several options. The primary Week 1 question is whether Philadelphia can generate enough edge pressure if Greenard is unavailable.
