No. 1 Oregon rallies in 4th quarter to beat Wisconsin 16-13

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Atticus Sappington broke a tie with a 24-yard field goal with 2:36 remaining and No. 1 Oregon rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Wisconsin 16-13 on Saturday night. Jordan James rushed for 115 yards and a tying touchdown on 22 carries to help Oregon (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) win its first 11 games for the second time in school history. The Ducks also won their first 11 games in 2010 and went on to reach the BCS championship game before losing to Cam Newton-led Auburn. Tawee Walker rushed for 97 yards on 20 carries for Wisconsin (5-5, 3-4) in its third straight loss. The Badgers fell to 2-15 in their last 17 games against Top 25 teams, going 0-6 mark in Luke Fickell’s two-year coaching tenure.

Ewers’ two touchdowns, Texas’ defense lead No. 3 Longhorns past Arkansas 20-10

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Quinn Ewers threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns and No. 3 Texas’ defense clamped down on Arkansas’ final two possessions to help the Longhorns win 20-10. Ewers’ 1-yard pass to Matthew Golden ended an eight-play, 75-yard drive that provided the Longhorns with a two-score lead with 9:05 left. Ewers, who finished 20-of-32 passing, also connected with Golden for the game’s first touchdown. Arkansas’ Taylen Green finished 17-of-25 passing for 149 yards with an interception.

DJ Lagway returns and Florida upsets No. 21 LSU 27-16 for 1st series win since 2018

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — DJ Lagway threw for a touchdown and set up another with a long completion in his return from a strained left hamstring, and Florida upset No. 21 LSU 27-16 on Saturday to give the Gators their first series victory since 2018. Jadan Baugh’s 55-yard scoring scamper with 3:48 remaining essentially sealed it and put the Gators (5-5, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) on the verge of becoming bowl eligible. Florida had dropped eight in a row against ranked opponents and was 1-10 under coach Billy Napier in rivalry games. The Gators sacked Garrett Nussmeier seven times — one more than LSU (6-4, 3-3) allowed in its first nine games combined.

Bela Karolyi, coach of Olympic champion gymnasts who was criticized after Nassar scandal, dies at 82

Bela Karolyi, the charismatic if polarizing gymnastics coach who turned young women into champions and the United States into an international power, has died. He was 82. USA Gymnastics confirmed Karolyi died Friday. No cause of death was given. Karolyi and wife Martha trained multiple Olympic gold medalists and world champions in the U.S. and Romania, including Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton. Comaneci called Karolyi “a big impact and influence” on her life. Karolyi came under fire at times for his methods and several former gymnasts blamed the Karolyis for their role in the Larry Nassar scandal, saying the culture they helped create allowed Nassar’s abusive behavior to run unchecked for years.

Beck throws for 2 TDs, runs for another to lead No. 11 Georgia past No. 6 Tennessee 31-17

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Carson Beck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, leading No. 11 Georgia to a 31-17 win over No. 6 Tennessee that gave a huge boost to the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff hopes. Georgia improved to 8-2, bouncing back from a 28-10 loss at Ole Miss that left the Bulldogs just outside the provisional 12-team postseason field. Now, they are positioned for a likely playoff berth — and a shot at winning their third national title in four years — if they can close out the regular season with wins over UMass and Georgia Tech. Tennessee could have moved closer to a berth in the SEC championship game. But the postseason prospects for the 8-2 Vols are now a whole lot murkier.

LSU coach Brian Kelly screams at one player and gets yelled at by another in loss at Florida

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — LSU coach Brian Kelly was caught on camera screaming at one player and getting yelled at by another. The sideline scenes were clear signs of frustration for a program that was on its way to losing a third consecutive game, 27-16 at unranked Florida. Now, the 21st-ranked Tigers will be the ones out of the polls. And the LSU fanbase might be out of patience with Kelly. The coach appeared to get into it with receiver Chris Hilton in the first half. Late in the third quarter, cameras captured receiver Kyren Lacy yelling at Kelly on the sideline after an empty possession.

Trump attends UFC championship fight in New York, taking a break from Cabinet picks

NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump attended the UFC heavyweight championship clash at Madison Square Garden. That combines two things close to his heart: fierce battles inside the octagon and New York City. Trump is a longtime UFC enthusiast and frequent attendee of major fights. Stipe Miocic is getting his shot Saturday at a third heavyweight championship reign when he battles current champion Jon Jones at UFC 309. Trump made promoting hypermasculine tones a signature of his latest, successful campaign for the White House. Trump and UFC President Dana White have also been close for more than two decades.

Jake Paul believes he can fight for a title, but Mike Tyson might be done in the ring at 58

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jake Paul believes he can fight for a championship belt within two years. Mike Tyson might be finished in the ring after the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion’s first sanctioned pro bout since 2005. An event hyped like a prize fight turned into a glorified sparring session. Paul won the eight-round bout in a lopsided unanimous decision at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. There will continue to be questions for Paul over when he will fight a contender in his prime. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer has offered a timeline now. Tyson says in a social media post he has gone in the ring “one last time.” He also provided more details on the medical issue that forced a postponement.

Indiana rewards Curt Cignetti for 10-0 season with 8-year contract

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti has been rewarded for a historic season with an eight-year contract worth an annual average of $8 million. The deal runs through 2032 and includes a $1 million retention bonus. The announcement came on Saturday when the unbeaten Hoosiers were off. No. 5 Indiana has recorded double-digit victories for the first time in school history and its No. 5 ranking by the College Football Playoff committee also puts them in position to host a postseason game. The 10-1 Hoosiers visit No. 2 Ohio State next weekend, a venue where they have not won since 1998.

Draymond Green’s foul against Zach Edey is upgraded by the NBA to a flagrant 1

NEW YORK (AP) — Golden State forward Draymond Green’s foul against Memphis’ Zach Edey in the third quarter of the Warriors’ victory over the Grizzlies has been upgraded to a category-one flagrant. The NBA made that decision Saturday, one day after the game that Golden State won 123-118. Green lost his balance on a drive and fell near Edey’s feet. Green appeared to swing his left leg outward as he was on the ground and restricted Edey’s ability to move his right ankle by clamping it between his elbow and his side. Edey wound up tripping over Green’s outstretched leg and a personal foul was called.
