A maligned defense led Stanford to a 10-7 upset victory at Washington State.The Cardinal had allowed more than 40 points in each of its last four games, but allowed a single scoring drive on a cold and rainy Saturday night as Stanford improved to 3-1 on the road.The Cardinal (3-6, 2-5) trailed 7-0 when Scotty Edwards intercepted a pass midway through the third quarter. On the ensuing drive, wildcat QB Justin Lamson converted a third-and-1, completed a 27-yard pass to tight end Sam Roush off of a reverse, and then scored on a 1-yard TD to tie the game with 2:55 remaining in the third quarter.Stanford QB Ashton Daniels was intercepted at his own 35 with one second left in the third quarter, but back-to-back sacks by Anthony Franklin and Mitch Leigber pushed the Cougars (4-5, 0-5) into a 43-yard field goal attempt, which sailed wide left.Stanford then went on a six-minute drive to score the winning points on a 31-yard field goal by Joshua Karty with 5:56 to play, keyed by a 30-yard pas...

LSU QB Jayden Daniels suffers head injury in Alabama game

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:56:53 GMT

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was hurt on a hard hit that drew a roughing-the-passer flag in the fourth quarter and didn’t play another snap. Daniels lay face down after the hit from Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner before walking off the field in No. 13 LSU’s 42-28 loss to No. 8 Alabama. He re-entered after one play but called time out after a false start penalty and went back to the sideline. His mother came down to the medical tent to check on him.“He had a head injury and was not able to come back,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said after the game. “We obviously have to put him through more testing before I can accurately say that it was a concussion, non-concussion, things of that nature.”Garrett Nussmeier took his place both times and finished the series, including a fourth-and-10 play that didn’t get off. Kelly opted to punt after a snap infraction pushed them back 5 yards.Daniels came into the game leading the nation in total offense, aver...

Turkey’s main opposition party elects Ozgur Ozel as new leader

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:56:53 GMT

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey’s main opposition party voted for fresh leadership in the early hours of Sunday, five months after a devastating election defeat that saw President Recep Tayyip Erdogan extend his two-decade rule.Ozgur Ozel replaced Kemal Kilicdaroglu after delegates of the Republican People’s Party, or the CHP, elected him as new leader. The results in a second round of voting — held in a sports hall in Ankara — saw Ozel take 812 of 1,366 delegate votes to become the CHP’s 8th leader.Speaking from the stage in front of thousands of flag-waving CHP members, Ozel — his voice hoarse with excitement — promised the cheering crowd a brighter political future and “to make people smile.” Dissent spread among members of the CHP after the party failed to capitalize on dire economic circumstances in Turkey and the fallout from February’s earthquakes to oust Erdogan in parliamentary and presidential elections in May. At the time, pre-election polls had predicted a strong showing for the ...

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Nervous ahead of their first jiu-jitsu championship, the war veterans gathered in a group to share jokes and help each other tie the belts of their kimonos.
