TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Caleb Williams threw for 322 yards and accounted for five touchdowns, Marshawn Lloyd ran for 154 yards and No. 5 Southern California outlasted Arizona State’s upset bid with a 42-28 win on Saturday night.Nearly five-touchdown favorites, the high-scoring Trojans (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) were off-kilter offensively for long stretches, plagued by ill-timed penalties and an early fumble in their own end.USC had a touchdown negated by a penalty, lost a fumble to set up an Arizona State score and turned it over deep in the Sun Devils’ end in the third quarter.The Trojans’ defense stepped up while the offense stagnated, coming up with three big sacks — one that led to a fumble by Arizona State quarterback Drew Pyne near midfield. Williams darted and danced through Arizona State’s defense on the ensuing drive, hitting Brenden Rice for a 29-yard touchdown and a 35-21 lead.Arizona State pulled within a touchdown on Cam Skattebo’s balancing-act 52-yar...No. 8 Washington uses 45-point first half to cruise past California 59-32

SEATTLE (AP) — Rome Odunze scored on an 83-yard punt return and a 35-yard reception in the first half, Edefuan Ulofoshio returned an interception 45 yards for a score on the first possession of the game, and No. 8 Washington scored 45 first-half points on its way to a 59-32 win over California on Saturday night.Washington led 14-0 before star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ever saw the field. And when he did, Penix threw for three first-half touchdowns as the Huskies tied a school record for points in a half.Washington (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) made everything look surprisingly easy, leading by as much as 40 against an opponent that’s been a problem in recent years.Penix played into the third quarter and finished 19 of 25 for 304 yards. He found Ja’Lynn Polk for touchdowns of 8 and 24 yards, the first of which Polk pinned the ball against his helmet as he went to the turf.Odunze followed up his TD catch in the first half with a 13-yard scoring reception in the third quarter on a screen pass....Jordan McCloud accounts for 6 TDs, JMU holds off Utah State for 45-38 win

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Redshirt senior Jordan McCloud accounted for a career-high six touchdowns Saturday night, including a 74-yard pass to Reggie Brown that capped the scoring, and James Madison held off a furious rally by Utah State to win 45-38. McCloud completed 23 of 34 for 364 yards with a season-high four touchdowns and two interceptions. He added a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs, the latter of which gave James Madison (4-0) a 38-14 lead with 1:32 left in the first half. Elliott Nimrod kicked a 28-yard field goal to pull Utah State within 21 points going into halftime. McCae Hillstead threw TD passes of 20 and 6 yards to Terrell Vaughn in the third quarter and then connected with Micah Davis for a 76-yard TD that made it 38-38 with 11:01 to play. JMU lost two fourth-quarter fumbles, but the Dukes defense — which went into the game leading the FBS in rushing defense, allowing 22.7 per game this season, and held Troy to minus-12 yards rushing last week — forced a three-and-out, a t...Tragedia en Florida: cinco personas mueren arrolladas por tren en camino a fiesta de quinceaños

PLANT CITY, Florida – Un aparatoso choque entre un tren de carga y una camioneta dejó al menos cinco muertos la tarde del sábado en Plant City. Según las autoridades, el choque se registró justo antes de las 7:00 p.m. del sábado, cuando la camioneta estaba cruzando la intersección de la US-92 con la Jim Lefler Circle pero un tren la alcanzó. “Calificar el hecho como devastador no le hace justicia a la tragedia que ocurrió detrás de mi patrulla”, resaltó el aguacil del condado Hillsborough, Chad Chronister, en una conferencia de prensa. “El vehículo luce como una lata de refresco que fue aplastada, es muy difícil de ver.”Chronister añadió que de los siete pasajeros de la camioneta, cinco murieron al salir expulsadas del vehículo, que se volcó varias veces tras el impacto. Entre los fallecidos hubieron menores de edad.Las dos personas que sobrevivieron tuvieron que ser sacadas con ayuda de herramientas hidráulica de rescate.

He also promised there would be more time to transition to heat pumps.“I always knew Sunak was smart, that he wasn’t going to destroy and bankrupt his nation for fake climate alarmists that don’t have a clue,” Trump wrote.Trump, who is leading the polls in the contest for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination, said the U.S. “keeps rolling merrily along, spending Trillions of Dollars trying to do that which is not doable, while at the same time brea...Taiwan factory fire death toll rises to 9 after 2 more bodies found

LONDON (AP) — Wildfires fueled by climate change have ravaged communities from Maui to the Mediterranean this summer, killing many people, exhausting firefighters and fueling demand for new solutions. Enter artificial intelligence.Firefighters and startups are using AI-enabled cameras to scan the horizon for signs of smoke. A German company is building a constellation of satellites to detect fires from space. And Microsoft is using AI models to predict where the next blaze could be sparked.With wildfires becoming larger and more intense as the world warms, firefighters, utilities and governments are scrambling to get ahead of the flames by tapping into the latest AI technology — which has stirred both fear and excitement for its potential to transform life. While increasingly stretched first responders hope AI offers them a leg up, humans are still needed to check that the tech is accurate.California’s main firefighting agency this summer started testing an AI system that look...Lurie Children's Hospital patients, families take part in 'Kids Dig' event

DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Justice Jackson and Michael Wortham each ran for a touchdown and Marlon Jones Jr. returned an interception for a TD on Saturday night to help Eastern Washington beat UC Davis 27-24 in a Big Sky Conference opener.The Eagles (2-2) are 11-0 all time against UC Davis, which went into the weekend ranked No. 15 in the FCS coaches poll.

At times this year the Red Sox were painful to watch defensively. The club has already reached the dubious 100-error threshold and the advanced metrics don’t look any better.The good news is there is reason for hope that next year’s defense could be much better, and a lot of the help could be coming from within.This season when Trevor Story was out recovering from elbow surgery, Boston’s alternatives in the middle infield didn’t inspire confidence. Kiké Hernández became unplayable at shortstop, and for long stretches the club had to rely on rookies like Enmanuel Valdez and David Hamilton, neither of whom possessed a big league caliber glove.Getting Story back immediately helped stabilize things in the middle infield, but if Boston needs to tap its depth next season its options will look much better.Ceddane Rafaela, who is already getting his big league audition, is regarded as an elite defensive talent who could represent an upgrade for the Red Sox at any pos...Latest news
