You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Kyle Shanahan flew into Australia with doubts, but the 49ers head coach is singing a different tune now. After arriving early Friday morning ahead of the NFL's first ever regular-season game on Australian soil, Shanahan says his concerns have faded fast. Sounds like the trip is winning him over.
Meanwhile in college football, Ole Miss survived a heart-stopper Sunday night. Lucas Carneiro drilled a forty-eight-yard field goal as time expired, giving ninth-ranked Mississippi a forty-one to thirty-eight win over twenty-fourth ranked Louisville. The Rebels needed every inch of that kick, and Carneiro delivered when it mattered most.
And the wildest story of the weekend happened at Wrigley Field, where forty-three thousand sixty-seven fans packed in to watch Missouri take on Nebraska in a volleyball match. The Tigers had spent months preparing for outdoor conditions, but nothing could ready them for the humidity that made the Taraflex court too dangerous to play on after just eighteen points. An extraordinary spectacle that ended far too soon, leaving one of the biggest crowds in volleyball history without a finish.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
