Power outage delays Monday night game

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The game between No. 19 SMU and Florida State kicked off after a delay of nearly two hours on Monday night due to a power outage at the stadium. Power went out at Doak Campbell Stadium just minutes before the scheduled kickoff and the delay lasted about 1 hour, 45 minutes. The Seminoles (1-0) and Mustangs, playing their opener, finally took the field at 9 p.m. EDT for warmups and the game started at 9:15 p.m. under less than ideal conditions. When play began, not all the stadium lights were operating and the teams were forced to deal with a number of other ...

Team USA looks sharp against Czechs

BERLIN (AP) — Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier set the tone early to help the U.S. bounce back from its worst offensive performance in 50 years. Stewart had 11 of her 19 points in the first quarter and Collier scored seven of her 12 in the second as the Americans routed the Czech Republic 105-64 on Monday. "I just wanted to be better. I just wanted to really lead by example," Stewart said. "Not only just from stats, but just the way that I was communicating to my teammates. This is a big moment for all of us and we need to take full advantage of it." Stewart was coming off ...

Orioles make Guardians pay

BALTIMORE (AP) — Trevor Rogers pitched into the eighth inning, Coby Mayo homered twice and the Baltimore Orioles took advantage of Cleveland's wildness on the mound, beating the Guardians 6-4 on Monday to snap a six-game losing streak. Rogers (10-9) allowed a run on six hits. The Orioles pulled within three games of Cleveland for the final AL wild card. The Guardians fell to a half-game ahead of Toronto, which played later Monday out west against the Athletics. The Orioles scored only one run over their previous three games against Boston, but Joey Cantillo (9-9) did plenty to help ...

Belichick hit with more distractions

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina coach Bill Belichick said Monday he believes his program "totally" has an atmosphere of following rules amid a school investigation into conduct within his football program. "Obviously everybody's responsible, including me, for doing things properly," Belichick said. "And we intend to do that." Later Monday, a school spokesman issued a statement backing the 74-year-old Belichick, who won six Super Bowl titles with the NFL's New England Patriots. "The University continues to support Bill Belichick and the Carolina football program," said ...

Second clock confuses coaches

Longtime coach Kyle Whittingham was unaware the stadium clock he watched Saturday night at Michigan might not reflect the official game time. Purdue coach Barry Odom also was caught off guard as he watched on television more than 250 miles away. The two Big Ten coaches acknowledged Monday they did not know there could be a discrepancy between what everyone was seeing on television and inside the stadium and the conference's tracking system. But that's how conference officials explained the dramatic finish in Whittingham's debut for No. 16 Michigan. After time appeared to expire with ...

Texas braces for rematch with OSU

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Hero Kanu has seen both sides of the Texas-Ohio State rivalry, in shades of scarlet and burnt orange. Kanu was a Buckeye defensive tackle when Ohio State beat Texas in a 2024 season College Football Playoff semifinal on the way to the national championship. Then he was a Longhorn when the Buckeyes beat Texas again in the 2025 season opener. That loss proved critical when the preseason No. 1 ultimately missed the playoff. So here he is again, waiting for another Texas-Ohio State matchup on Saturday night when the Buckeyes become the first No. 1 team to visit ...
