Week 1 is finally here! Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens reveal our new weekly segment ‘People’s Panic Meter’ that will solicit fantasy issues that people are having over their fantasy teams throughout the season. The two then share their top ten biggest and boldest predictions for the 2023 NFL season.
Clemson’s offense had a nightmare performance in its season opener against Duke on Monday night.
Myriad turnovers plagued the Tigers, particularly in the red zone, as they failed to convert strong field position into points throughout the night.
During a span of five possessions, Clemson had a field goal attempt blocked, fumbled twice (both of which came within the 10-yard line), turnover the ball over on downs and threw an interception.
The Tigers failed to put a single point on the scoreboard in the second half, as Duke’s defense came up with big plays throughout the night.
Antony is in his second season with Manchester United, and played 81 minutes in the club’s loss to Arsenal on Sunday.
Duke and Clemson opened their seasons with a Monday night matchup at Wallace Wade Stadium, and the Blue Devils pulled off the remarkable, stunning the nation’s No. 9 team with one of college football’s biggest early-season upsets.
Duke held the Tigers scoreless during the second half in what was a resounding 28–7 victory. The win the first time the program has beaten a top-10 team since toppling No. 7 Clemson in 1989, which came during Steve Spurrier’s last season as Duke’s head coach.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard the terms ‘Clemsoning’, but it returned in magnificent fashion thanks to the Duke football team. After an off-season filled with questions, Clemson fell dramatically short of looking like a team worthy of fighting for an ACC title, losing 28-7 in horrible fashion.
It was Tim Elko’s Duke Blue Devils who decided to keep college football fans on the edge of their couches Monday night, pulling off the impressive upset.
The first game of the season was one to forget for Dabo Swinney as the 9th-ranked Tigers were held to just a touchdown and struggled on defense as well.
David Fry threw all 64 of his pitches under 60 MPH in the team’s 20-6 loss to the Twins on Monday night.
Guardians starting pitcher Lucas Giolito had a disastrous outing Monday against the Twins, surrendering nine earned runs across just three innings of work.
In doing so, Giolito achieved an extremely rare and unfortunate feat, becoming the first player since 1899 to surrender eight earned runs in a start for three different teams in the same season, according to OptaSTATS.
The 29-year-old landed in Cleveland after being included in the mass exodus of waivers by the Angels. Anaheim had only acquired Giolito from the White Sox at the MLB trade deadline.
Shohei Ohtani’s agent said Monday that he plans to continue to both pitch and hit, after he undergos “some type of procedure” on the tear in his pitching elbow.
