LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) — Collin Ironside hit VJ Johnson with a last-minute touchdown pass and VMI rallied to defeat Davidson 12-7 on Saturday, giving Danny Rocco a dramatic victory in his debut as coach of the Keydets.VMI took possession with 4:19 left in the game and Ironside led a 12-play, 85-yard drive that produced what would be the winning score. The drive included three third-down conversions, one a 28-yard pass to Aidan Twombly on third-and-20. Ironside hit Johnson with a 25-yard hookup with 51 seconds remaining. The two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.Davidson’s final drive gained only 12 yards and ended with an interception.The game-winning drive came after the Keydets went three-and-out on their first three possessions of the second half and Caden Beck, who earlier missed a PAT, missed a 42-yard field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter.Davidson (0-1) managed only 184 yards on offense but took a 7-6 lead in the third quarter when Luke Durkin hit Christian...Cade McNamara throws for two touchdowns in his debut as No. 25 Iowa defeats Utah State 24-14

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Cade McNamara threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns in his Iowa debut as the No. 25 Hawkeyes defeated Utah State 24-14 on Saturday.The touchdowns came on Iowa’s first two offensive possessions, and the Hawkeyes didn’t get into the end zone again until Kaleb Johnson’s 3-yard run in the fourth quarter. Iowa, which had one of the worst offenses in the nation last season, finished with 284 yards.McNamara, who transferred from Michigan, was listed as questionable for the game with a quad injury to his right leg, but he made an immediate impact with a 36-yard touchdown throw to Seth Anderson on Iowa’s second play from scrimmage.“It was pretty clear, he was intent on playing,” Ferentz said. “He practiced well.”It was the first passing touchdown on the opening series of the season in Kirk Ferentz’s 25 years as the Hawkeyes’ coach, and the first for an Iowa team since 1991.“Gosh, I was so fired up,” McNamara said. “We got the exact look we wanted.

ROME (AP) — Former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri reacted with an offensive gesture toward the local fans when Lazio’s train arrived in the southern city on Friday.On Saturday, the bespectacled manager who likes to quote Charles Bukowski made a much bigger impression in his former stadium when he directed Lazio to a 2-1 win that ended Napoli’s perfect start to Serie A.Lazio lost both of its opening matches after finishing second to Napoli last season — albeit 16 points behind the runaway champion.Sarri, who coached Napoli from 2015-18 for his first job with a major team after decades with provincial clubs, restored a winning mentality to the Partenopei that was crowned when Luciano Spalletti coached Victor Osimhen and Co. to Napoli’s first title in more than three decades last season.Now he’s trying to achieve the same thing at Lazio, which last won Serie A nearly a quarter of a century ago.Sarri also coached Lazio to a win at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in March — one of only two ho...Palou has 2nd IndyCar title in sight but Scott Dixon in his rearview mirror with 2 races remaining

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Alex Palou has been on cruise control all season as he’s chased a second IndyCar championship in three years. He’s had almost no bad luck — save for a pit lane incident that likely cost him the Indianapolis 500 — and has packed four wins into this impressive season.The Spaniard hasn’t had a single mechanical problem, has completed all but two laps this season and hasn’t finished lower than eighth through 15 races.So the math headed into Sunday’s penultimate race of the season is clear: A podium finish at Portland International Raceway secures Palou the title no matter what happens with Scott Dixon, his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate and the only other driver who can claim the championship.With a 74-point lead and two races remaining on the season, if Palou leads Dixon by 54 points at the end of Sunday, he will cruise into next week’s finale in Monterey, California, with his second title already in hand.The problem?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — K.J. Jefferson completed his first 12 passes while leading Arkansas to three first-quarter touchdowns, and the Razorbacks methodically put away FCS-level Western Carolina 56-13 on Saturday.Jefferson’s second pass of the game was a wide-receiver screen to the left sideline that turned into a 65-yard catch-and-run by Jaedon Wilson.The last three of five first-half Razorback touchdowns were set up by two interceptions and a fumble recovery, all in Western Carolina territory.Jefferson spread 18 receptions in 23 attempts around eight receivers for 246 yards. He found Isaac TeSlaa, who played for three years at NCAA Division II Hillsdale College, for a 31-yard first-quarter score, ran for a 17-yard touchdown and used AP Preseason Second Team All-American running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders to finish short drives with runs of 3 and 1 yards as the Razorbacks built a 35-3 halftime lead.Sanders, though, found running room rare against the aggressive Catamounts defens...Police searching for suspects after Lynn shooting leaves 1 dead, 6 injured

Several Boston city councilors are calling on city health officials to declare a state of emergency over the ongoing issues at an encampment near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard.In a letter, the four councilors are likening the situation at what’s known as Mass & Cass to life-or-death emergencies like the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic or the influx of migrants who are being brought into the state, saying people living in the area can’t want any longer for the city to act.“What is unfolding at Mass and Cass, and surrounding neighborhoods, is similar in its multifaceted complexity, and no less dire in its threat to human life and well-being.” they wrote, adding, in part, “…we believe that the human cost is too great to delay significant, concrete action any further.”Crime, drug use, and human trafficking are among the issues that have raised concerns at the encampment.Councilor Ed Flynn said, “I support the city’s abil...Latest news
