Oregon put on an absolute clinic Friday night, rolling over Portland State eighty-four to nothing in one of the most dominant performances college football has seen in recent memory. What makes it even more staggering is that the Ducks did it without top wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan and starting tight end Jamari Johnson, both sidelined with injuries. Depth? Oregon has it in abundance.
Shifting to the pitch, England fast bowler Brydon Carse is in the clear after Derbyshire Police dropped their assault investigation stemming from an incident in Derby city centre last month. The charges never came, but the damage to his international schedule was already done — Carse had been pulled from England's squad for the three-Test series against Pakistan while the investigation played out. He'll be looking to reclaim his spot now that the cloud has lifted.
And in college football this Saturday, Kansas State welcomes Tulane to Manhattan carrying a two and oh record and plenty of confidence. But K-State fans haven't forgotten twenty twenty two, when the Wildcats nearly had their season derailed by these very Green Wave on this very field. Tulane hasn't quite reached those heights since, but revenge games have a way of keeping everyone honest.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
