It’s rarely a good idea to throw your team under the bus, but Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi decided to go all-in on his players following a blowout loss to Notre Dame.
After stumbling to a 2-6 record so far this season following the 58-7 drilling by the Irish, Narduzzi decided Saturday night was the right time to destroy chemistry with some postgame commentary about the quality of his current players.

There’s no football like snow football.
Ask fans of teams involved in any number of the sport’s iconic snow games—the Snow Bowl in 1950, the 2000 Independence Bowl, Michigan’s 2021 victory over Ohio State. Something about a powdery white field lends aesthetic elegance to a brutal sport.
However, snow also can bring out the immature side of players and fans—as was the case in Fort Collins, Colo. Saturday evening.
Mere seconds into the second half of Colorado State’s home game against No.

Crossover boxing is alive and well after Francis Ngannou, the ex-UFC heavyweight champion, dropped a razor-close decision to Tyson Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This was the best crossover event ever
In recent years, crossover fights have been lucrative events. Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather generated more than $600 million in revenue. Jake Paul has made millions for a slew of ex-MMA fighters (Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz) just for stepping in the ring.

Coaches getting mad about anyone who makes light of their program is the new trend, apparently.

Pitt lost to Notre Dame in embarrassing fashion on Saturday, falling 58–7. It was the Panthers’ biggest loss in the rivalry matchup since losing 60–6 in 1996.
After the game, Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi got himself in a bit of hot water when he told media that his roster did not have the talent to replace departures from last year’s team.
“You lose a lot of good players a year ago, you think as a coach you’re going to replace them, we obviously haven’t,” Narduzzi said. “It starts with me. I didn’t do a good enough job of coaching today. Put it on me.

Colorado is locked in a tight battle at halftime on the road against No. 23 UCLA, and will now have to play the remainder of the game without one of its starting defensive backs.
Buffaloes defensive back Shilo Sanders was ejected for targeting late in the second quarter after a hit that he delivered to UCLA running back Carsen Ryan.
Ryan was running across the field toward the sideline when he caught a pass from quarterback Ethan Garbers. Sanders delivered the hit with the crown of his helmet under the facemask of Ryan.

Pittsburgh had one of its worst days in recent memory Saturday, doing almost nothing right in a blowout 58–7 loss to No. 14 Notre Dame.
However, things may have gone from bad to worse for the Panthers after the game.
Questioned by reporters postgame, Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi seemingly lay blame for the Panthers’ regression at the feet of his players.
“We lost a lot of good players last year,” Narduzzi said. “We thought we’d replace them and we obviously didn’t do a good job with that.

Oregon put on a dominating performance against Utah on Saturday afternoon, positioning the Ducks in a solid spot in the Pac-12. After the impressive outing against the Utes, the Ducks have a clear road ahead of them to the conference title game behind head coach Dan Lanning.
But it was following the win over Utah where Dan Lanning decided to use his platform at Oregon to ask questions regarding gun violence in America.
After the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, this week that left 18 dead and many others injured, Dan Lanning felt like it was time to ask questions.
