The reigning national champs will stay at home for Week 2 of the college football season — get ready for Indiana vs. Howard.

TCU transfer Josh Hoover excelled in his program debut, going 13-of-16 for 231 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. The redshirt senior looked in good form to replace star Fernando Mendoza.
Howard, meanwhile, will face one of their toughest opponents of the season Saturday as they prepare for Curt Cignetti's squad. The Bison won their season opener against Alabama A&M with a score of 31-24, but then fell to No. 23 Richmond last weekend at home.

Through three weeks of the 2026 high school football season, junior running back Mykheal Smith continuously showed that he was a worthy addition to Burke County after transferring from Richmond Academy in the offseason. He averaged over 100 total yards a night and scored two touchdowns during that span, while also being tasked with playing in the secondary for the Bears at safety.
Heading into a Week 4 matchup versus a Jones County squad that had allowed at least 40 points during the previous three weeks, it seemed like Smith and the Bears were in prime position to put up big numbers en route to a win.
That couldn't be further from what happened. The Greyhounds dominated the Bears in a 35-0 rout on Friday, Sept. 11. On offense they got whatever they wanted, particularly when it came to their rushing attack. Defensively, they forced four fumbles that were recovered and led to scores. The turnovers in particular will be a point of emphasis going forward for Burke County.
"It's one of those things where we just didn't get it done in terms of taking care of the football," Bears head coach Franklin Stephens said. "It's one of those things we've been stressing, especially after two weeks ago when we had a bunch of turnovers and fumbles."
Even beyond the turnover problems, Burke County didn't have much going when they did have the football. Outside of a near 30-yard punt return for Smith, he was relatively quiet on the night ― as was the rest of the offense.

NC State football's home-opening contest against Richmond has been delayed due to weather.
A lightning delay halted play with NC State ahead 28-0 with 11:33 to go in the second quarter from Carter-Finley Stadium. It is unclear at this time when play will resume.
The Wolfpack have scored rushing touchdowns on each of their four possession, totaling 178 rushing yards. Duke Scott has ran for 115 of those yards with two scores. CJ Bailey and Davion Gause scored the Wolfpack's other two touchdowns.
Richmond's offense has been limited to 58 total yards, including -9 on the ground.

It's been a long wait for this day to get here, but now we can finally turn the page to (I hope) more constructive play and move on from the UVA debacle. So what are we keeping our eyes on in the bigger picture tonight?
1.) Find at least the beginnings of an identity offensively. NC State's performance at Virginia was so bad as to look incoherent, and the offense wasn't on the field enough to develop a rhythm, much less discover its most important foundational aspects. Pretty much nothing worked, and what did—or could have—worked, often wasn't well-executed. The Pack has to take the opportunity presented by Richmond to start sorting itself out and establish concepts that work. Where's the bread and ***** er?
2.) To that end, who are the playmakers in this offense? We know that NC State would like to lean on Duke Scott and certainly he has better days ahead of him, but I'd like to see a more concerted effort to get Victor Snow the ball tonight. We learned next to nothing about the passing game in Week 0—well, nothing good, anyway—and still don't really know what we've got at receiver. It might end up essential for Snow to get 8-10 touches each week, and now's a good time to figure that out. I won't be surprised if Keenan Jackson is a focal point, either.
3.) What does this defense look like when it isn't in a bad position for 60 minutes? They were set up to fail by the offense in the first game, and Virginia never had to get out of its conservative comfort zone. Still the defense did some good things against actual handoffs, and needs to build on that. Richmond shouldn't have much of a downfield passing game to speak of, and I want to see how the defense performs against more regular passing downs.

Well, they lost the first one. But they're back to try it again! The San Francisco Giants are hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second game of a doubleheader, and are hoping to split the four-game series.
It's an exciting pitching situation for the Giants, as right-hander Yunior Marte takes the mound for his MLB debut. Marte — not to be confused with the reliever of the same name, who pitched for San Francisco in 2022 — is a young prospect whom the Giants acquired a year ago in the Mike Yastrzemski trade. He is, shockingly, following in Jonah **** 's footsteps as the second player the Giants have called up directly from AA this year … after going nearly a decade without making such a move.
Marte, who turned 23 earlier this month, has a strong fastball/slider combo, with a splitter as well. He's fastball reliant, and sits mid-90s, while occasionally touching high-90s. He does a good job limiting walks, despite a slightly herky-jerky motion that isn't always conducive to consistent strike-throwing. In 13 starts with AA Richmond this year, Marte posted a 3.92 ERA and a 3.97 FIP, with 72 strikeouts and 22 walks in 64.1 innings. He started the year with High-A Eugene, where he had a 3.74 ERA and a 4.11 FIP in nine games, with 41 strikeouts and 19 walks in 43.1 innings. He was not on the 40-man roster (though he would have been a Rule 5 decision this winter), so the Giants made a spot for him by moving Casey Schmitt to the 60-Day IL. The Giants made **** e on the active roster by optioning lefty Seth Lonsway, who made his MLB debut in the first game of the doubleheader.
For Arizona, it's lefty Mitch Bratt, who is also a 23-year old lefty. Bratt, who was a fifth-round pick in 2021, has made nine appearances in his debut season, and is 1-2 with a 4.54 ERA, a 5.28 FIP, and 28 strikeouts against 25 walks in 39.2 innings. After a pair of great starts to open the month, Bratt has given up three runs in three innings in each of his last two games.
Enjoy the baseball, everyone!

Week 2 of the 2026 Augusta high school football season has come and gone, and as expected, it didn't disappoint. Teams continue to play their hearts out here in the early part of the season. And with that has come with impressive performances both individually and at the team level as well.
With that being said, here's what we saw that we think you need to know about coming out of the second week of Augusta-area high school football.
The last time Richmond Academy and Thomson met up a season ago, it was arguably the game of the year. There's an argument to make that their meeting on Friday night may have topped that one. The lead jostled from one team to the other. The Musketeers held a double digit lead early in the first half before the Bulldogs managed to take a two score lead of their own by the fourth quarter.
Richmond Academy clawed its way back in front late with a score and a two-point conversion, courtesy of a connection from sophomore quarterback Henry Rivers to senior Lo'than McBride. That, plus the Musketeers getting a huge stop in the red zone on 4th down, helped them beat the Bulldogs 41-40.
"This year's game is just us proving ourselves right, less about proving anybody else wrong," Richmond Academy head coach Keenan Grissett said. "A lot of emotions, a lot of back and forth, a lot of situations, a lot of just football."

Over the summer, the basketball world sadly lost a legendary figure. Former NBA player, coach and Hall of Famer Don Nelson passed away at the age of 86-years-old in early August. While the NBA world is still mourning the loss of the coaching visionary and five-time champion, the Warriors will pay tribute to their former coach when they suit up for the 2026-27 NBA season.
On Wednesday, the Warriors announced they would be wearing a special band on their jerseys for every game during the 2026-27 NBA season featuring the word "NELLIE". The patch will sit near Golden State's jersey sponsor on one of the shoulders.
Via warriors on X:
Nelson played 14-years in the NBA, winning five championships with the Boston Celtics before starting a legendary coaching career. The former Iowa Hawkeye went on to coach a total of 31 seasons in the NBA, including two stints with the Warriors over 11 seasons. Prior to joining the Warriors bench, Nelson coached 10 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Nelson then joined the Warriors in 1988, leading Golden State to the postseason behind Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway. Nelson then went on to coach the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks. Nelson returned to the Bay Area in 2006, leading the Warriors back to the playoffs with the "We Believe" Warriors featuring Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes and Al Harrington.

With two races remaining in the regular season, the NASCAR Cup Series heads north this week for the Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The winner of five of the first nine races this season, Tyler Reddick is the pole-sitter for Sunday's race in Loudon, New Hampshire. It's Reddick's first pole win since April at Kansas, and he's aiming for his first victory since then as well. The driver of the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing is fighting through a bit of a midseason slump as he's finished 25th or worse in six of the last 10 races.
Reddick has had some solid results mixed in there, running second at Pocono, finishing inside the top-10 at Atlanta and the Brickyard 400, and salvaging an 11th-place finish last weekend at Richmond after catching a caution at the right time. Reddick's team could use a victory this weekend to build some momentum ahead of the postseason Chase.
"We fight through those hard days very well as a team. When we get into the Chase — I mean, ideally on paper, you don't want to have a bad race, but when it does happen, you know it's important to respond the right way," Reddick told USA TODAY Sports this week. "And I feel like our team does that. When something goes wrong, we don't just throw our hands up in the air and start complaining. We get to work. We start figuring out ways that we can make the most of the day or get out of the hole completely and still try and win the race."
Josh Berry will join Reddick on the front row and is aiming for what would be his fourth consecutive top 10 finish — something the 35-year-old has never pulled off before in his Cup Series career. Berry, driving the No. 21 Ford for Wood Brothers, ran second at New Hampshire last season.

The Los Angeles Lakers roster is currently in Slovenia on superstar Luka Doncic's invitation. And after some photos from the trip went viral, fans think the 27-year-old is looking good.
Luka Doncic has had to deal with a lot since 2025. Being traded to the Lakers, the subsequent ownership changes in LA, LeBron James' departure, and his own injuries have all been issues.
The Slovenian superstar has often had to deal with questions about his conditioning as well. Despite being a perennial First Team All-NBA member, Doncic has regularly dealt with comments about his weight.
Luka got a lot of love from fans for getting into shape last offseason. However, after recent pictures from his time in Slovenia dropped, the compliments are on a whole different level.

NASCAR is performing a deeper inspection process after the Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway this weekend. Chase Elliott's No. 9 car for Hendrick Motorsports has been taken to the NASCAR R&D Center for further inspection after Richmond, the sport announced. Elliott finished in fifth place on Saturday night.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver has struggled over the last few months and finally earned another top-5 finish at Richmond. NASCAR taking Elliott's No. 9 car to the R&D Center doesn't automatically mean something is wrong; however, it does heighten the risk of a potential penalty.
In the NextGen car era, drivers and teams have received significant penalties when NASCAR takes a car to the R&D Center. There have been several occasions when they have lost over 100 points due to an infraction. Most cars are cleared after going to the R&D Center, but exceptions exist.
Elliott will likely be OK; however, NASCAR has blasted teams in the past for any wrongdoing.

A three-hour rain delay at Knoxville gave Larson the opportunity to compete for the $200,000 first-place cash prize. And he took full advantage, leading all 50 laps for his fourth **** le in six years.
"It's extremely surreal," Larson told KnoxvilleRaceway.com. "It was a range of emotions. Going back the last couple days, I had no emotions. I knew I wasn't going to race, but there was still that glimmer of hope with the rain and the forecast."

Joey Logano leapfrogged into the top-10 standings after winning Saturday's Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. The result marks his second win in just four races.
Logano had a podium start in the season-opening Daytona 500, but struggled to make headway ever since. At his lowest, the former champion was out of the Chase cutoff in 20th, while Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney consistently finished top-10.
With his latest win, Logano has tied Blaney for two wins this season. The No.22 driver addressed the resurgence in his victory lane interview, saying,
"Don't let the boys get hot, we're pretty strong right now. It's awesome to see the speed in the No. 22 again….we've had a great car here the last five races. We haven't been able to capitalize with a win, we've been so close but sweet redemption today."
"We got a strong team, no doubt, and Paul made some great calls there. The 19 was better than us in that last run so I was trying to just manage the tires and yeah, kind of a fun back and forth….it's getting the points that we need. This is important, we need to get ourselves back in the top-10 and I ***** ume this gets us pretty close," he added via NASCAR's official website.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa — Kyle Larson just had one of the most ridiculous nights in motorsports history.
Larson started 30th in Saturday night's NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway and drove an ill-handling Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet all the way to sixth, gaining 24 positions over 400 laps.
For most drivers, that would have been enough.
Larson wasn't most drivers.
Instead of heading home after Richmond, Larson embarked on a frantic cross-country sprint to Knoxville, Iowa, where he was scheduled to start on the pole for the 65th Knoxville Nationals. A three-hour rain delay at Knoxvilel and a fast jet gave him a chance to make the impossible happen.

There are good race car drivers.
There are great race car drivers.
And then there is Kyle Larson, who apparently decided at some point that the laws of motorsports should apply to everybody except him.
Saturday night was the latest entry in the argument that Larson is not merely one of the best drivers of his generation. He is one of the most freakishly versatile racing talents the sport has ever produced.
He started 30th at Richmond. He finished sixth.

Richmond Raceway has always been a special place for Denny Hamlin.
With Hamlin growing up in Virginia, Richmond was his home track, and his family shared plenty of memories there. Ahead of Saturday's Cup Series race, Richmond Raceway decided to honor Hamlin and his family in return.
In a post shared on social media, Hamlin stood proudly with his family behind two seats in the stands at Richmond Raceway that would be reserved in their name moving forward.
"Mom and Dad spent years at these seats," Hamlin wrote in the caption for the post. "Commonwealth, Sec H, Row 11, Seats 10-11."
It's a touching gesture to the Hamlin family, who are still mourning the loss of Denny's father Dennis, who died after a fire in his North Carolina home in December 2025.

Richmond Raceway will have a packed house for Saturday night's NASCAR Cup Series race.
Just hours before the green flag for the Cook Out 400, Richmond Raceway announced that the event has officially sold out for the second consecutive year, continuing what has become a remarkable run of packed grandstands across the NASCAR schedule in 2026.
Richmond Raceway President Lori Collier Waran announced the sellout during Saturday's pre-race drivers meeting.
"This is an incredible moment for Richmond Raceway and a tremendous statement to the passion of NASCAR fans," Waran said. "To sell out the Cook Out 400 for the second year in a row shows just how special Saturday night NASCAR racing is for our fans at Richmond Raceway. They have once again shown up and shown out, and we couldn't be more grateful to welcome them for another unforgettable night under the lights."
Richmond isn't an isolated success story, either.

Ryan Blaney already earned the best starting position for Saturday night's NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway. Now the Team Penske driver will have a prime piece of real estate on pit road, too.
Blaney, who won the pole in the No. 12 Ford, will occupy pit stall No. 1 for the Cook Out 400. His stall sits at the Turn 1 end of pit road, giving the pole-sitter a clear opening ahead of him when leaving his pit box.
The rest of the field will be spread across Richmond's notoriously busy pit road, with a few strategically placed vacant stalls potentially giving certain teams some additional room to work with Saturday night.
Two teams also entered the weekend without the ability to choose their pit stalls. Christopher Bell's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team and Cody Ware's No. 51 Rick Ware Racing team each failed pre-race inspection twice. Their respective car chiefs were ejected, and both teams lost pit selection for the weekend.
Here is where every Cup Series driver will pit at Richmond.

NASCAR is once again leaving Rockingham Speedway.
"The Rock," the iconic 0.940-mile oval track in North Carolina's Richmond County, has hosted races for the Craftsman Truck Series and the second-tier O'Reilly Auto Parts Series in each of the last two seasons after a 12-year absence.
But Rockingham's promoter — Track Enterprises — announced on Friday, Aug. 14 that NASCAR racing will not be held at the track in 2027. In a statement, Track Enterprises says the decision comes "amid overall uncertainty at the facility."
The owner of the speedway is Darryl Cuttell, and he is currently grappling with a financial strain as he battles liens and lawsuits totaling more than half-a-billion dollars. Elon Musk's ****** eXAI alleges it has overpaid between $500 to $800 million for services from Darana Hybrid, an international electro-mechanical contractor company that Cuttell owns.
Cuttell also owns the International Hot Rod ****** ociation (IHRA). Amid Cuttell's financial troubles, IHRA has laid off employees and canceled some of its racing series.
