College football faces another clock controversy after BYU upsets Notre Dame

It was a wild Saturday in college football, and if top team after top team taking losses wasn’t crazy enough, another game ended with a one-second clock controversy. BYU pulled off an upset over Notre Dame — but social media seems to think the game may not have actually been over. Thanks to the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs losing at home to Auburn, No. 2 Notre Dame had a chance to take over the top spot with a win. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Unfortunately, they would have to do that on the road against the Big 12's top team, the unbeaten No. 8 BYU Cougars. And, to make matters worse, the Fighting Irish were without one of their best defensive players almost immediately. On BYU's first series, defensive lineman Boubacar Traore was called for targeting on a hit on BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier. That was a costly penalty for a team that doesn't take a lot of them, and the Cougars made them pay. They marched downfield — even forcing Notre Dame to burn a timeout — ...

Florida State falls again as Miami survives double-overtime scare to stay unbeaten

Florida State has sputtered this season and Miami has not lost a game. Both trends held true, although barely, as the Hurricanes needed two overtimes to survive another upset bid on a day filled with chaotic finishes and upsets. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, the last of them a 3-yarder to Malachi Toney in the second overtime, and No. 3 Miami held on to beat archrival FSU 43-35 in a back-and-forth classic. OHIO STATE SNAPS INDIANA'S 22-GAME WINNING STREAK, HANDS REIGNING CHAMPS FIRST LOSS SINCE 2024 IN THRILLER Toney finished the night with 154 receiving yards and threw a 2-point conversion pass to Cooper Barkate. Hurricanes defensive back Bryce Fitzgerald sealed the win with an interception for the Hurricanes on the final play. Ashton Daniels threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns for FSU. Duce Robinson had a pair of touchdown catches late, including a 75-yarder that tied the game with less than three minutes left in regulation and a 2...

Joel Embiid rejects idea 76ers stars must 'take a back seat' as NBA regular season looms

The Philadelphia 76ers boast a star-studded roster that has been projected to make a run at the NBA title. Jaylen Brown arrived in Philadelphia as the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade, while LeBron James later chose the Sixers after considering several teams in free agency this offseason. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid have spent their entire NBA careers in Philadelphia. Some have questioned whether the 76ers can keep all of their stars satisfied this season, but Embiid believes the team can succeed without forcing its stars to make major sacrifices or drastically alter their playing styles. "I'm against the concept of sacrificing," Embiid said after Friday's preseason finale. "I think the way I explained it was you do what you do best, and we're going to support you. ... I don't think anybody has to take a back seat." LEBRON JAMES ADMITS HE NEARLY JOINED THE KNICKS BEFORE JALEN BRUNSON WON THE NBA TITLE WITHOUT HIM Four of Philadelphia’s stars too...

Dem congressional candidate's police record reveals suspensions over stolen gun, insubordination

Johnny Garcia, a candidate for Congress in Texas’ newly redrawn 35th District, faced a pair of suspensions for "job performance," "insubordination" and "conduct or action that would seriously impair job effectiveness" during his time with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, records show. In the first suspension in 2009, Garcia brought a cellular device into a secure area against repeated instruction. The second, in 2020, arose when Garcia left a firearm in an unsecured location, where it was later stolen. In both cases, Garcia was suspended without pay. The suspensions, discovered through a public records request, put new scrutiny on a law enforcement career that Garcia has made a central part of his campaign as he wages a race against Republican candidate Carlos De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran. The race, set to fill the seat being vacated by Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, is expected to be significantly more competitive in the upcoming midterms than in years ...

Army expo attendees skeptical of Trump's Iran peace deal hopes: 'Beat 'em into submission'

Attendees at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Exposition were skeptical of President Donald Trump’s signal that a deal with Iran to end the war may be near, arguing the United States needs to continue its military and economic pressure on Tehran to bring the conflict to a close. "Look at history, and that area only respects strength, right?" a member of AUSA’s Marne chapter in Georgia told Fox News Digital about Iran. "We're not going to get a deal with them. We're going to have to, unfortunately, beat them into submission." He added, "There is no such thing as negotiation. So I think we're probably looking at at least another year, if not two." TRUMP AGAIN SAYS DEAL IS CLOSE, THEN CONFIRMS A LAST-MINUTE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN, BUT DETAILS STILL SECRET The war began in February with joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The conflict has continued despite an April ceasefire and a June agreement intended to pave the way for a broad...

Denver Broncos survive ugly offensive night to beat Seattle Seahawks 17-14 in overtime

Broncos kicker Wil Lutz drilled a 53-yard field goal in overtime to elevate Denver to a 17-14 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Seattle got the ball first in sudden death and faced a third-and-7 from its own 28. Sam Darnold tried forcing a throw into double coverage along the sideline, losing sight of Denver cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian. McMillian read it the entire way, stepped in front for the pick, and set the Broncos up at Seattle’s 43-yard line. Broncos HC Sean Payton ran the ball three straight times to milk the clock and center the hash, and Lutz did the rest. BRONCOS THROWBACK ORANGE CRUSH UNIFORMS MEET SEAHAWKS THROWBACK ROYAL BLUE IN RARE NFL COLOR VS COLOR GAME With clock management blunders headlining last week's slate of NFL action, it was refreshing to watch a coach who knows how to properly win a game. For the first twenty minutes, Payton’s script was dialed to perfection. Denver dominated time of possession and built a 14-3 halftime lead behind two me...
