McCarthy Flexible As Steelers Coach

October 13, 2026 4:28 am

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike McCarthy is proving to be flexible and proactive as the Pittsburgh Steelers coach. After a frustrating Week 4 loss, he decided to move defensive coordinator Patrick Graham from the coach’s booth to the sideline. The change prompted better communication between Graham and his players, directly contributing to a 34-22 victory over Indianapolis that boosted Pittsburgh’s record to 3-2. McCarthy’s decision highlights his willingness to adapt and make changes when needed, a departure from a sometimes more rigid approach by former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh will look for consecutive victories for the first time this season when it visits Tampa Bay in Week 6.

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.

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.”
