The defense was outstanding against the Irish, but the eye-popping statistic was provided by Phil Mafah.

When UNC needed it most, the star quarterback stepped in and ignited his late-game magicJust as coach Mack Brown thought. Brown was confident Drake Maye would find a way. With 41 seconds remaining in regulation Saturday night, the Tar Heels trailed Duke by three points.

We have finally reached my least favorite week of the year and it has nothing to do with the NFL. The first week after turning the clock back is always a nightmare and that’s mostly because I have a toddler who is now waking up at 5:30 a.m. If I get all my picks wrong this week, that’s why. The government needs to ban time changes and/or clocks. I’m going to have to talk to my toddler about clock management, and to be honest, someone probably also needs to have that conversation with the Cowboys because their clock management was pretty ugly near…
Coventry halted their four-match losing run with a 0-0 Sky Bet Championship draw against Stoke.

Stoke left the West Midlands with their own unbeaten run intact as their second stalemate in succession left them six unbeaten. Simms came closest to giving Coventry a much-needed three points when Jake Bidwell hung up an inviting cross to the back post which the former Everton man…

The Bluebirds have been languishing in the bottom half of the league for a few seasons now, and there were doubts that this was going to change under an unproven manager. But Erol Bulut has come in and done an excellent job so far, as he’s not only made Cardiff a competitive team but also made them a top-six contender in the early parts of this season. There is obviously still a long way to go in terms of Cardiff…
As his team celebrated around him after achieving its biggest milestone of the season, Auburn first-year head coach Hugh Freeze was pulled aside for his postgame interview with the SEC Network and recalled a quote from a former Arkansas coach for which the field he stood on was named. “They remember what you do in November,” legendary Arkansas head coach Frank Broyles liked to say. As Freeze’s team beat Arkansas 48-10 on Saturday in Fayetteville, it will certainly remember what it has done in November. Auburn has won twice this month as part of a three-game winning streak and more…
As school districts across the country are still dealing with a teacher shortage, one local high school is hoping to inspire their own students to fill the need.

Damani Knox is one student at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber in Philadelphia who is teaching classes while only in the eleventh grade. “It feels important. I feel like I’m part of something big. A change that’s gonna happen in Philly and hopefully all over…
