Pete Golding and Ole Miss are riding high after knocking off LSU and sending a message to the rest of college football, but Golding was quick to pump the brakes.

Speaking of moments that define a season, Pavin Smith delivered one for the ages in Arizona. The Diamondbacks had waived him just two months ago, and Saturday night he crushed a walk-off homer against the Yankees to keep Arizona breathing in the wild card race.

And over at UFC three thirty one in Los Angeles, the night had two massive headlines. Gable Steveson, the Olympic gold medalist turned heavyweight prospect, was stopped in just twelve seconds by Sean Sharaf in one of the most stunning upsets in recent memory. Meanwhile Arman Tsarukyan answered the bell with a brutal first-round knockout of Mauricio Ruffy, and Dana White says that performance completely flipped the script on a lightweight title shot.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
