WEST LAFAYETTE — You can call Purdue basketball's 87-55 exhibition victory over Ball State on Sunday a soft opening.
Rehearsals for the regular season continue, and roles remain up for grabs on a remade roster. The vibe around the 11 Boilermakers who shared relatively equal minutes, though, remains one of anticipation for what lies ahead.
You may need to give this new cast some time to come together. Those players – some character actors vying to become stars, some understudies stepping into the spotlight for the first time – like where this is headed.
They cannot offer the **** urance which comes with returning Final Four starters, roles chiseled in stone and championship expectations set as an afterthought. What was on display Sunday, though, was a new and different energy – one with unrealized upside.
"I feel that's what makes this team good and makes this team different, is the balance we have between all our guards and our bigs," redshirt freshman guard Antione West Jr. said. "Everybody brings something. There's no weak points or anything we lack in our guards, so it just brings a sense of balance. I think that's our identity."

The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are debuting all-white uniforms against the Western Ketnucky Hilltoppers. Georgia will wear white pants, white jerseys and white helmets for the first time in school history.
Georgia has worn alternate uniforms four times during the coach Kirby Smart era. The Dawgs are 4-0. Georgia still traditionally wears a white or red jersey along with silver britches and a red helmet.
The Bulldogs wore black jerseys in a 2016 home win (35-21) over Louisiana Lafayette. In Georgia's last road trip to Arkansas, back in 2020 quarterback Stetson Bennett saved the day after a slow start. Georgia wore red pants and slightly altered white uniforms in the 37-10 win.
In 2020, Georgia also wore black jerseys at home in the Bulldogs' 31-24 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in a game where JT Daniels passed for over 400 yards. Georgia wore the same black jerseys, which have a red Dawg collar, in Georgia's last-second 24-21 Peach Bowl win over Cincinnati.
Of course, Georgia's most memorable alternate jersey game is when the Bulldogs beat Auburn at home in 2007 with black jerseys. Georgia will look to move to 5-0 in alternate uniforms under coach Smart on Saturday, Sept. 12 against Western Kentucky at 12:45 p.m. ET.

Winning the program's first state championship in 2025 - in his first season no less - hasn't affected St. Ignatius football coach JaJuan Lawson or his Wildcats one bit. Despite losing 38 seniors to graduation, including eight All-West Catholic Athletic League performers, St. Ignatius has been perhaps the most impressive team in the WCAL through two weeks. The Wildcats have recorded back-to-back identical 42-7 wins over two-time North Bay state champions San Marin-Novato and Marin Catholic-Kentfield.
Senior running back Luke Tribolet has been a workhorse with 34 carries for 208 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Isaac Liu has been terrific with 23 completions in 32 pass attempts for 350 yards and five touchdowns, three to junior Davion Moffett.
The defense has exceeded all expectations, led by junior linebacker Jack Riedy (12 tackles) and sophomore defensive back Casey Nelson (two interceptions, two caused fumbles, two recoveries).
"I don't think winning a state ***** le created any extra pressure on these kids," Lawson said. "We play in the most difficult league in Northern California. We're trying to get back to the top of the league honestly and that's what drives us. … New group, new goals."
The new goal is getting some revenge on Friday night and to beat one of the best teams in Northern California when the Wildcats visit Acalanes-Lafayette (2-0). The Wildcats, ranked seventh in the Metro Area, lost a wild 42-35 game last season in San Francisco to Acalanes, which is currently ranked No. 5 in the Bay Area.

Texas high school football season featured some marquee showdowns this weekend. The Week 2 schedule featured blockbuster games and also some equally notable final scores. Below are the top 25 Texas high school football teams, according to the Massey Ratings, as of Sept. 6.
If the last two weekends proved anything, it's that Allen is back. Behind standout performances from 2029 QB Ty Snell and the entire Eagles defense, Allen has knocked off powerhouses Duncanville and DeSoto to open the season, 50-6. Snell passed for four TD on seven attempts, three of those scores going to fellow 2029 WR Zach Williams. Allen held a 28-0 lead at halftime with the defense setting a strong pace in this one.
North Crowley earned another statement victory in the early season — a 40-10 win over fellow Dallas Metroplex powerhouse Southlake Carroll. After the Dragons took a 7-6 lead early, the Panthers scored 21 unanswered points and cruised in the second half. North Texas commit G'Yrell Smith rushed for 96 yards on 11 touches, and QBs Jacob Torres and Jahzeel McCradic combined for two TD passes.
The defending state champs did not miss a beat in a physical tilt vs. Louisiana powerhouse John Curtis. The Mustangs came away with 27-17 win on the road at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium in Lafayette — after adding two fourth-quarter scores and separating late in the contest. QB Kaleb Taylor threw a TD pass to Jaden Kendrick and Jemarkeus Houston ran for a 14-yard TD to deliver North Shore the impressiveo out-of-state win.
Guyer remained unbeaten on Friday night as the Wildcats notched their 200th program win. The outstanding Guyer defense featuring arguably the state's most talented group of defensive linemen (Zane Rowe (Oregon); Khyren Haywood (Texas Tech); Darrien Neal (TCU); Logan Lokey (2028) held Melissa to less than 100 yards of total offense. First-year starting QB Carter Morgan was terrific — finishing 21-of-29 for 237 yards with a pass TD and a rush TD.

LAFAYETTE — Faith Christian volleyball was ready for the occasion.
After the Eagles went the distance with South Newton in a 3-2 win on Thursday, Sept. 3, setter Kelsey Olehy was gifted a custom-made volleyball. Stitched below her name and school, the ball read "1,000 ******* ists."
Olehy was only 49 ******* ists short heading into the night, and she got it in the fourth set — a set in which the Eagles rallied from down 18-16 to win 25-18. On the play, the senior tossed a picture-perfect ball in the middle, allowing junior Aubrey ******* to fly in for an emphatic kill.

Purdue football hosts Indiana State to start the 2026 season as coach Barry Odom enters his second year with the Boilermakers.
Purdue went 2-10 in Odom's first season, winning its first two games, but going winless in Big Ten play. Ryan Browne (58.9% of his passes for 2,153 yards, 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2025) returns as the Boilermakers' quarterback, but much of the roster has changed. The Sycamores lost their season opener to Southeast Missouri State, and they were 3-9 last season against most Football Championship Subdivision competition.
Here's everything to know pregame from how to watch, weather forecast, tickets, **** ysis and more.

WEST LAFAYETTE − Before the first serve of Purdue volleyball's Wednesday night match against Georgia in Mackey Arena, the Boilermakers got a motivational boost.
All-American outside hitter Kenna Wollard was on the sideline with her team, dressed in street clothes.
Wollard, who last season was a second-team All-American and Midwest Region Player of the Year who entered 2026 on the preseason National Player of the Year watch list, announced on social media last week she would be taking a hiatus "with an unexpected health issue that will keep me away for a little while."

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue volleyball coach Dave Shondell was celebrated Tuesday night at Mackey Arena after the Boilermakers swept Texas A&M.
It was Shondell's 513th career victory at Purdue, surpassing Hall of Fame men's basketball coach Gene Keady's total of 512. Shondell's achievement was announced and promoted as a Purdue record for most head coaching victories.
While it is a Purdue record for a coach in one sport, according to Purdue record books, that career win total ranks second in Boilermaker history.

WEST LAFAYETTE — As Dave Shondell built Purdue volleyball into a consistent national contender, he also built an all-time legacy among all Boilermaker coaches.
No. 14 Purdue's 3-0 victory over No. 12 Texas A&M, the reigning national champions, on the opening night of the Big Ten/SEC Challenge on Tuesday at Mackey Arena put Shondell in a tier of his own. The win was the 513th of Shondell's career, passing former basketball coach Gene Keady for most victories by any Purdue coach with Keady in attendance.
Shondell became Purdue volleyball's all-time wins leader with his 470th in 2024. He tied Keady for most wins in any sport last season when the Boilermakers beat SMU to reach their fifth Elite Eight in his tenure.
Shondell was presented the game ball and, after leading the team around Mackey to greet the remaining fans, libero Ryan McAleer and opposite hitter Grace Heaney hugged Shondell. The rest of the team followed, and the Boiler Block chanted "Dave!"
Shondell, a Muncie native, came to Purdue in 2003 after successful high school stints at Daleville and Muncie Central. His teams reached the Sweet 16 in 13 of his first 24 seasons and are 19-0 in first-round NCAA tournament matches. With Friday's victory, his career winning percentage rose to .681.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Josh Henson and Kevin Kane spent the last month trying to outwit the other.
Now Purdue football's offensive and defensive coordinators are unified in hoping to play complementary football Friday night against someone other than their own team.
For Kane, Friday's kickoff against Indiana State is a first chance to prove Barry Odom's decision to hire him for the role he'd had in 2023 and '24, an unpopular move for fans, was the right choice.
For Henson, it's a chance to show growth after 2025 provided him the first chance to be a full-time offensive play caller in a decade.
"These small little details and just organizing and running an offense, one year back into it, I'm rolling on those things," Henson said four days ahead of the season opener. "Because of that, it's given our coaching staff the ability to go coach our guys on all the small details and I feel like we're further along in that area."

Florida gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds rejected comedian Bill Maher's claims that Donalds lost key counties in the recent primary in part due to the racism within the state.
Appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" Friday night, Donalds, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, pushed back on Maher's **** ertion that he lost parts of Florida's Panhandle because of the area's predominantly White electorate.
"You did lose the 'Redneck Riviera' badly," Maher said, referring to Donalds' losses in Calhoun, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hardee, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Liberty, Madison, Suwannee, Taylor, Union and Washington counties, rural counties where roughly 94% of Republican voters are White.

WEST LAFAYETTE — One of Purdue football's biggest impacts from the transfer portal could end up coming from the smallest package.
The Boilermakers list Travis Terrell Jr. at 5 foot 9, 180 pounds, as Jackson State did before them. The Atlanta native proved at the FCS level those measurements mattered less than his 40-yard dash time and intangible attributes.
At that size, his new teammates ****** umed he came with next-level speed. Terrell began showing last spring he did not come to the Big Ten to run away from contact.
"You see him in pass pro – he really puts his head in there, no matter who he goes up against," fellow running back Fame Ijeboi said. "... He's a hard-nosed runner, and his size does not show how tough he is."

WEST LAFAYETTE — Talent has not been the issue in Purdue football's tight ends room going back several years.
Health, however, has been what's held the position back.
That was the case again last season when George Burhenn suffered a season-ending injury. Without perhaps its best offensive weapon in the passing game, Purdue managed just 13 receptions for 134 yards out of its other tight ends.
The Boilermakers already have been hit before this season kicks off. A knee injury to Central Florida transfer Kylan Fox took away what probably was Purdue's No. 2 tight end.
Who is back (2025 stats): Jon Grimmett, redshirt freshman; Jackson Berryman, sophomore; George Burhenn, junior (9 rec., 94 yards); Luca Puccinelli, sophomore (3 rec., 24 yards); Luke Shorter, redshirt freshman

Purdue's biggest 2026 trap game is also must-win opportunity originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Purdue does not have many games it can realistically circle as winnable in Big Ten play. That is what makes Maryland's Nov. 7 visit to West Lafayette so critical.
The Boilermakers are still building traction in Barry Odom's second season, and the conference schedule will offer little sympathy.
Purdue must capitalize on matchups where the talent gap is manageable, home-field advantage matters and the opponent is navigating similar pressure. Maryland checks every box.
CBS Sports college football ****** yst Brad Crawford identified Maryland as Purdue's biggest potential trap game because while the Boilermakers will view it as a prime opportunity for a conference win, the matchup remains deceptive.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Kyle Holderfield's 34th birthday aged the Harrison football coach a decade.
But, alas, it was a joyous celebration by the end of a three-hour offensive showcase between Holderfield's Raiders and West Lafayette.
It wasn't until sophomore Easton Foley's leaping snag of an onside kick attempt that Holderfield could finally enjoy it, though. Foley's recovery with 50 seconds remaining clinched Harrison's 43-40 victory at Gordon Straley Field on Friday, Aug. 21.
"I felt 34 years old at the start of the game, and I feel like I might be 43 at the end of that one," Holderfield said. "That one was exhilarating."

So the most anticipated sports season in Bloomington is about to begin — football.
I am still amazed that not only is that a sentence that got typed, it is a true sentence as well. The Indiana Hoosiers are the NCAA national champions and that can not be taken away from them. It wasn't an anomaly, it wasn't a fluke and they have to be respected for it.
I am not an IU fan (my Boiler fandom now follows me like the black cloud that followed Pigpen from Peanuts) — and all the skullduggery leads to the very same place – IU just completed the greatest season in college football history.
The rest of college sports now has to live with IU football at the top of the heap and the rest of us who call West Lafayette our safe ****** e now have to endure the fact that the last two undefeated National Champions in football and basketball reside about 300 yards from each other on Fee Lane.
Last year was a Disney movie whose script wrote itself except that would be trite and barely contain a narrative of the heroics of that statue. With heroes straight out of Homer, and a quest even more farfetched, Fernando Mendoza and Curt Cignetti became a modern Ulyesses and Achilles, and even Ohio State and Miami couldn't provide a suitable villain.

WEST LAFAYETTE – You could argue Purdue football's most important need in the offseason was in the secondary.
The Boilermakers made a concerted effort to lure experienced power conference defensive backs from the transfer portal, adding size and depth more so than at any other position.
Now, defensive passing game coordinator Charles Clark and defensive coordinator Kevin Kane have the task of finding who will play and where they'll play.
There's a lot of versatility among the group, and cross-training guys at safety, corner, and nickel provides flexibility.
It's hard to imagine Purdue won't be better in the secondary a season after the Boilers ranked 117th nationally in points per game allowed. Purdue totaled four interceptions all last season, ranking last in the Big Ten.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue football's next foray into expanding corporate sponsorships opportunities will begin on Rohrman Field this fall.
Progressive on Tuesday announced a new partnership with 13 programs, including Purdue, through Learfield. The Progressive logo will now be featured on the Ross-Ade Stadium playing field.
The sponsorship will include on-field branding inside Ross-Ade Stadium, per a news release, as well as videoboard features, LED signage, digital and social media integrations and other experiences throughout the game.
Financial terms and duration of the agreement were not disclosed. By securing the deals through Learfield, its marketing and branding partner, Purdue and other schools have also traditionally shielded the financial terms of such deals from public records disclosures.

To think back four years ago, when I first decided I wanted to pursue a career in journalism — and sports journalism, for that matter — I could not have predicted the fulfillment and opportunities it has given me.
Naturally, sports have been a big part of my life from the beginning. My first word as a baby was "so" — not just because it was easy to get me to say, but because it was the name of the former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder So Taguchi, who played for a team that I was raised loving (thanks Mom and Dad!). I know that said team probably isn't popular around the Lafayette area, but please give me some grace.
At the start, my love for sports was on the field, playing baseball, soccer and basketball. As I grew up and began high school, I loved it in a different way. I started to keep closer track of sports leagues and debating numerous topics with my friends, which resulted in a couple of moderately successful Instagram accounts that I frequently posted on. But that was just the groundwork for what I ultimately decided to do.
Choosing the Missouri School of Journalism wasn't very difficult. I had always excelled in reading and writing far more than I did in math and science, and I sure wrote a lot. Even in fifth grade, I spent some of my free time typing up mini biographies of a variety of people, from U.S. presidents to Larry Bird to Robert Downey Jr.
I didn't have a whole lot of journalism experience before college, but the stories I wrote for my high school paper showed me I not only could do it, but that I really, really enjoyed it. And with home being only two hours away from one of the most renowned journalism schools in the country, it was a no-brainer for me.

Indiana football has been through the grinder on social media this week for its non-conference scheduling practices. Luckily for the Hoosiers, rival Purdue has chimed in to take over the news cycle.
Purdue introduced Tommy McClelland as the Boilermakers' incoming athletic director in a press conference on Thursday afternoon. He comes to West Lafayette from the same role at Rice and is taking over for longtime AD Mike Bobinski, who's set to leave his role at the conclusion of the calendar year.
McClelland spent a fair amount of time laying out his vision for Purdue's future before throwing caution to the wind and taking at jab at Indiana that, well:
I don't believe I need to elaborate on why this falls flat.
Ultimately, it's sports and isn't that serious but is good for a laugh as summer drags on. Social media had plenty to say about it though. Here's some good ones what we found:

#purdue #Social #Media #good

WEST LAFAYETTE — Welcome to a big day in Purdue Athletics history.
Tommy McClelland will be introduced at 11 a.m. Thursday as the next Purdue athletic directory. McClelland takes over for the retiring Mike Bobinski, whose time will end when 2026 expires. And McClelland will have many opportunities to point his stamp on Boilermaker programs.
The 44-year-old McClelland has a rich background in athletics. He was the youngest NCAA Division-I AD when hired to lead McNeese State in his native Louisiana at age 26. He since reached the Power Four level as deputy athletic director at Vanderbilt, where he was a key fundraiser for facility upgrades and the beginning of Clark Lea's hiring as football coach.
Purdue will be his first gig north of the Mason-Dixon line, but stays in tune with universities that emphasize academics. He most recently served as Rice's athletic director, making Purdue his third straight stop at a prestigious ******* ociation of American Universities.
McClelland's background brings several items that may explain why Purdue hired him — the fifth Purdue AD since World War II. We hope to learn today more about McClelland's vision for Purdue Athletics, why he was selected and more. Interim President Mitch Daniels is among those expected to speak at today's press conference.

OXFORD — Ole Miss football defensive lineman Carmelow Reed has been arrested, according to booking information provided by the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department in Oxford.
Reed was arrested on two charges and booked into the Lafayette County Detention Center at 8:51 p.m. on July 31. He was charged with "Possession with intent of Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substance between 10 and 30 grams" as well as speeding.
Reed, 18, is a freshman defensive end from Chicago. He is a member of the 2025-26 signing class and enrolled early at Ole Miss to participate in spring drills.
The 247Sports Composite ranked Reed as a four-star recruit out of Morgan Park High School. Reed was originally committed to Wisconsin before flipping to Ole Miss.
Reed's bond was not disclosed.
