Belichick Hands Pitt First Loss Of The Season

October 11, 2026 7:30 am

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Billy Edwards Jr. threw a 75-yard touchdown pass in the second half and North Carolina knocked off No. 25 Pittsburgh 21-17. Pitt had just taken a 17-14 lead when the Tar Heels immediately responded. Edwards hit Shamar Easter for a 75-yard score for the go-ahead touchdown, giving coach Bill Belichick his first win against a ranked opponent at North Carolina. It was North Carolina’s first win against a ranked team since defeating No. 25 Miami in 2023 and the Tar Heels’ first ranked road win since taking down No. 9 Miami in 2020. Holden Geriner completed 27-of-44 passes for 219 yards with two interceptions for Pitt.

USC Outlasts Penn State

October 11, 2026 7:33 am

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Jayden Maiava completed 21 of 33 passes for 301 yards with three touchdowns and No. 19 USC outlasted Penn State 31- 23 on Saturday night.

The vast majority of the announced 114,419 were clad in white for the annual White Out game, desperate to see the first Big Ten win of the Matt Campbell era.

WVU Suffers Major Loss To Arizona

October 11, 2026 7:38 am

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Noah Fifita threw two of his three touchdown passes to Isaiah Mizell, Lee Molette III returned a fumble for a score and Arizona beat West Virginia 52-31 on Saturday.  Antwan Roberts, Quincy Craig and Kedrick Reescano each had scoring runs for the Wildcats (5-1, 2-1), who won their fourth straight despite missing their top three wide receivers, all who were injured a week ago in a win over Cincinnati.  It didn’t matter. Fifita and Mizell took advantage of a West Virginia secondary that has struggled all season, committed several interference penalties on Saturday and got burned in one-on-one coverage.  “Holy smokes, Isaiah Mizell,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said. “I’m really proud of him. He was going to be ready for his opportunity.”  West Virginia defensive coordinator Zac Alley had decried his unit as “the worst defense in college football” after allowing an average of 593 yards in losses to Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Not much improved Saturday.  “It’s really frustrating,” West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said. “We didn’t get it fixed today, defensively especially. And then offensively, when we had a couple of turnovers, it really cost us and we couldn’t get the momentum we needed.”

During Oettinger’s run, in which he stopped 54 straight shots, the Stars set the longest shutout streak in team history at 2:06:08. Tyler Seguin forced overtime for Dallas when he scored with 29.1 seconds left in regulation.

Pirates Receive Charitable Award Nomination

October 10, 2026 9:21 am

Major League Baseball has announced the ‘Chill Mobile’ initiative, a mental health awareness initiative by Pirates Charities and Allegheny Health Network (AHN), as a finalist for the prestigious Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence. The award was created in 2010 to recognize the charitable and philanthropic efforts of MLB clubs. For two decades, Pirates Charities has worked to improve mental and physical health for area youth of all ages. In 2022, Pirates Charities furthered that commitment by partnering with AHN to launch Chill Mobile, an innovative and mobile mental health unit created to address the growing youth mental health crisis throughout Western Pennsylvania. Built from a retrofitted RV and designed as a welcoming, immersive space, Chill Mobile brings evidence based behavioral health programming directly to students, educators, and communities. The Chill Mobile unit visits upwards of 10 local schools and groups each year, providing education to groups that may otherwise have limited access to these resources. The program was developed around three core goals: reducing mental health stigma, expanding the reach of AHN’s successful school-based Chill Project model, and transforming the delivery of preventative behavioral health services across the region. Fans can vote now for the ‘Chill Mobile’ program at mlbtogether.com/selig, through Friday, October 16.

Fans Find Philly-Style Dive Bar In London

October 10, 2026 8:20 am

Eagles fans from both the U.K. and U.S. have a go-to sports bar in London ahead of Philadelphia’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. It’s called Passyunk Avenue. It’s a self-described dive bar named after a well-known south Philadelphia street. Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and 76ers paraphernalia cover the walls and ceilings. Cheesesteaks are on the menu. U.S. dollar bills with written messages are pinned to the walls. There’s an unopened DVD set of “Rocky” movies. The hole-in-the-wall spot in swanky Fitzrovia opened in 2018 and they’ve added several other London locations. Travis and Jason Kelce recorded an episode of their podcast at the Fitzrovia location in 2024.
