One of college football’s most storied rivalry series is going on hiatus.
Despite months of negotiations, USC and Notre Dame officials have failed to reach an agreement on playing what would be the 97th game in the series next year and are now each exploring replacement opponents for 2026, multiple sources tell Yahoo Sports.

After a brutal start to the season, the Miami Dolphins changed things up on Sunday as rookie Quinn Ewers made his first NFL start. The former Longhorn had appeared in a game earlier this year, but he took on a new role against the Bengals. While Sunday’s game was one Ewers will never forget, it was full of ups and downs.
Against the Bengals, Ewers completed 20 of his 30 passes for 260 yards. The former seventh-round pick also averaged 8.7 yards per throw and led the Dolphins on two scoring drives in the first half.
