EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Turns out Colorado wasn’t quite ready for Oregon’s version of prime time.Bo Nix threw three touchdown passes and the No. 10 Ducks emphatically slammed the brakes on Deion Sanders’ “Cinderella story,” routing the 19th-ranked Buffaloes 42-6 on Saturday.The Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) were up 35-0 half after coach Dan Lanning sent them into the matchup of unbeatens with a fiery pregame speech that took direct aim at the star-studded, hype machine that has followed Coach Prime’s team for the first three weeks of the season.“The Cinderella story’s over, men. They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference,” Lanning told his team in front of ESPN’s cameras.Troy Franklin caught eight passes for 126 yards and two scores for Oregon.After the game, Lanning was more reserved.“I think that team’s heading in the right direction.

John Means flirts with another no-hitter to help Orioles beat Guardians, 2-1, ending 3-game skid

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:36:56 GMT

John Means threw his signature change-up, then grimaced and dropped his head. He knew immediately that his pursuit of a second no-hitter, just like the ball off Andrés Giménez’s bat, was gone.The two-out home run in the seventh inning marked the first hit Means allowed in his third start back with the Orioles after last year’s Tommy John elbow reconstruction, and it provided the only run the Cleveland Guardians scored in Baltimore’s 2-1 victory.Means’ pitch count likely would have prevented him from finishing the feat, as he did May 5, 2021, against the Seattle Mariners for the Orioles’ first solo no-hitter since 1969. Saturday’s start marked Means’ longest since that game.He followed Giménez’s home run, on his season-high 89th pitch, by inducing a popout one offering later. And with a left-handed hitter opening the eighth, manager Brandon Hyde gave Means one more batter. Hyde said before the game he wouldn’t put M...

EUGENE, Ore. — Talk about the pot calling the kettle green.Or yellow. Or chartreuse. Or whatever color Oregon happens to be wearing in a given week.The Ducks on Saturday sported cleats that change color according to your body temperature. For more than two decades, Oregon’s performed in more wardrobe combinations than Elton John.So, yeah, the idea of Ducks football coach Dan Lanning pointing fingers at Deion Sanders and CU for choosing sizzle over steak is pretty rich.But you do you, young man.“(We’re) rooted in substance, not flash … the Cinderella story is over,” Lanning told his guys before the game in, ironically, the most click-worthy story of a painful 42-6 Buffs backside-kicking.“They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference. This game ain’t gonna be played in Hollywood. It’s gonna be played on the grass.”Yes, the Buffs got their collective grasses kicked.CU was also the...

EUGENE, Ore. — Even at 3-0, darlings of the nation, Deion Sanders warned those jumping onto the Buffs Bandwagon — some seats might’ve just come open, by the way — that CU was still about a half-dozen or so “dawgs” away from where he wanted the program to be.On Saturday, it became painfully clear, right away, that most of those missing pieces are along the offensive and defensive lines.The Buffs allowed 240 rushing yards — 161 in the first half alone — and 522 yards of total offense to the tenth-ranked Ducks, who scored on five of their first six possessions, led 35-0 at the half and cruised to a 42-6 win over the No. 19 Buffs.“I think that was a good old fashioned butt-kicking,” Sanders, the Buffs’ first-year coach, said after suffering his first loss at CU and largest margin of defeat ever as a college coach. “No excuses. No nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn’t. I mean, that was a really good, old-fashioned butt-kicking.”Click here t...
