Many of the favorites rolled in college football. Alabama, Georgia and OHIO STATE rolled convincingly. There were a few surprises as Northwestern lost to Southern Illinois and Arizona State fell to Eastern Michigan.
The Dodgers rolled to 100 wins in game 144. Dave Roberts’ team continues to impress.
In the NFL, Tua Tagovailoa threw six touchdowns as the Dolphins rallied from a 35-14 deficit to win at Baltimore. The Jets scored two TDs in the final two minutes to stun the Browns. The Chiefs edged the Chargers. Trey Lance suffered an injury for the Niners.
What a weekend in sports.
College football saw several major upsets. Appalachian State stunned Texas A&M. Marshall beat Notre Dame. Washington State won at Wisconsin. Georgia Southern shocked Nebraska, a loss which led to Scott Frost’s firing.
The US Open crowned its champions. Iga Swiatek beat Ons Jabeur to win the women’s singles. Carlos Alcaraz had a great run, beating Maran Cilic, Jannek Sinner, Frances Tiafoe and Caspar Ruud to win the men’s crown.
The NFL got under way. The Bills blew out the defending Super Bowl champion Rams. Patrick Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five TDs in a win over Arizona. The Giants rallied from a 13-0 deficit to shock the Titans.
Serena Williams is the GOAT in women’s tennis. Her career in singles likely ended with a third round loss at the US Open. The turnout was incredible for Serena.
A tip the hat to the Buckeyes of Ohio State for taking over in the fourth quarter to deny Notre Dame from pulling a big upset. Too much CJ Stroud and company.
A big NBA deal as the Cavs get Donovan Mitchell from Utah. They may have given up too much. Collin sexton, lauri markannen. Ochai Agbayi, three first and two pick swaps head to the Jazz.
