Pennington throws for 3 TDs and Northern Arizona beats Incarnate Word 31-23
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Ty Pennington threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns to help Northern Arizona beat Incarnate Word 31-23 on Saturday.
Pennington went 17 of 34 for 286 yards with scoring throws to Jayson Raines, Myseth Currie and Jeter Purdy. Kolbe Katsis added four catches for 95 yards as Northern Arizona averaged 16.8 yards per reception.
Pennington’s first-quarter strike made it 7-0, he added another in the second, and a short rushing score before halftime pushed the margin to 21-10.
After Incarnate Word cut it to 21-16 in the third, Pennington answered with a deep shot to Currie for a 28-16 lead. Samuel Hunsaker made a 50-yard field goal with 1:54 left in the fourth to cap the scoring.
Incarnate Word’s EJ Colson finished 28 of 36 for 292 yards with two touchdowns to Jameson Garcia, who caught nine passes for 120 yards. The Cardinals ran for 144 yards on 28 carries, led by Colson’s 59.
Northern Arizona held the Cardinals to six points in the third.

Purdue 30 – #24 Notre Dame 56 – Notre Dame Gets Right
Whelp, things could hardly have started worse for the Boilermakers in this one. Purdue with a quick three and out followed by a one play 66 yard TD pass from CJ Carr to Malachi Fields. The Purdue DB Tony Grimes was beat almost immediately on the play and Fields waltzed into the endzone. The only good thing that happened in that first 1:20 of the game was a 58 yard punt from Jack McCallister. It meant little though as ND completed the deep bomb immediately after. The question again became, as it was when SIU scored first and when USC scored first, was how would Purdue respond? It turns out they would respond pretty well. Purdue put together a 6 play 75 yard drive for a touchdown to tie this game up. That drive was capped off by a TD pass from Devin Mockobee to Ryan Browne on a great play design.

A great response from a team that had just been punched in the mouth. An impressive decision from the coaching staff as well. Rather than play timid they were ready to pull out all the stops to try and pull off the upset of the Fighting Irish. It wouldn’t be the last time that Barry Odom and company would try some tricks.
Unfortunately, while the offense was doing their best to keep the game close the defense was unable to get a stop. After being torched deep on that first ND touchdown pass the Purdue defense was using just three down lineman to stop the pass but unfortunately that made it so ND was able to do almost anything they wanted on the ground. Notre Dame’s next three possessions all resulted in rushing touchdowns. Combined over the next three drives ND rushed for 144 yards. Jeremiyah Love was the first to gash the Purdue defense and he was like a man possessed. He was pushing Purdue players off of him and also used a nifty spin move on a third down to convert for the first and lead directly to a ND touchdown. Over those same three drives Notre Dame would throw just three more passes. There really was no need to. If you can run for 6.3 yards per carry and control the clock why ever throw the ball? The Purdue offense looked very good during this same Purdue thanks to some great throws by Browne as well as some good play calling from Odom and company. That includes a fake punt that Jack McCallister converted. Take a look at the video and you’ll see the great blocking but you’ll also notice that McCallister is not the fastest guy on the field.
ANOTHER trick play from Purdue. This time it’s a fake punt. 😳 pic.twitter.com/q6xbxJAzQZ

The offense wasn’t perfect though as there were a couple big drops/incompletions with two coming in the endzone. One was on a deep ball from Browne that I thought there was a bit of defensive pass interference on but it wasn’t called. The other was a throw to the tight end Rico Walker and it bounced off his hands. Purdue would settle for a field goal to make it 28-13. The Boilermakers had gone nearly 14 quarters without generating a turnover. Then, lightning struck (figuratively this time) as CJ Carr was sacked by Myles Slusher and he also forced a fumble. Purdue’s CJ Nunnally recovered the fumble and gave Purdue a chance to throw a TD on the board before heading into halftime. However, with 1:31 left in the half lightning struck again, but this time literally and Purdue found themselves in their second weather delay of the season. Purdue would settle for a FG there to make it 28-16. It sure seemed like maybe that would be it for the half, unfortunately, special teams, and the Big Ten refs, decided not. The ensuing Purdue kickoff was returned for a TD and despite a flag being thrown, and obvious on replay, the officials picked it up and ND was up 35-16. Purdue was able to get the ball one more time and did a great (less than) two-minute drill to finish with a nifty pass from Browne to Nitro Tuggle to make the score 35-23. What was this feeling? Was it hope?
Well, as Ted Lasso says, it’s the hope that kills you. Notre Dame would take the third quarter kickoff and after just 2:04 would use a 46 yard Love run to get back into the endzone. The score was 42-23 but it felt like Purdue had tried to get back into this one on a number of occasions only to be smacked down by the far more talented Fighting Irish. As a Purdue fan this year you’re just wanting to see progress this season. There was some to be seen at times today/tonight but none of it on the defensive side of the ball. Sure, they got that turnover, but other than that they couldn’t stop the run or the pass. There was no resistance from the Purdue secondary on multiple deep balls from CJ Carr and it looked like warm-up pitch and catch out there. Then, when Notre Dame decided they didn’t want to throw the ball anymore, Purdue could not stop the run. This was Notre Dame’s preferred method of wearing down the Boilermakers. Through the game Notre Dame faced just 9 third downs and converted on 6 of them. They averaged 16 yards per pass and 6 per run. Compare that to Purdue’s average yards per rush of 2.7 and per pass of12. That tells you all you need to know about the resistance each team faced.
Purdue made progress sure, but they just aren’t there. It’s obvious that a lot of work still needs to be done. Remember last year Purdue lost to Notre Dame 66-7. Sure Notre Dame scored 56 in this one but Purdue was able to put up 30 of their own. Of course in the 4th quarter Notre Dame called off the dogs and ran their second team out there so these numbers will be a little skewed and won’t tell the whole story but it still shows the struggles that Purdue had on both sides of the ball.
Purdue was finally able to put up points in the second half with Malachi Singleton connecting on a nifty 24 yard pass to Jesse Watson. It obviously wasn’t going to be enough but maybe it sent the Purdue fans out with a little more bit happiness? Depending on when you bet on this game Purdue might have covered the spread. Good teams win, but great teams cover.
We always knew this was going to be a tough one to win, but the struggles of the defense continue unabated these last two games. There’s much to work on but luckily Purdue has a bye next week to try to figure some things out.

Amorim says United must build on Chelsea win
Amorim says United must build on Chelsea win
Ruben Amorim has urged his Manchester United players to build confidence after their 2-1 victory against Chelsea at Old Trafford.
United went into the game under pressure, having collected only four points from their opening four league matches this season.
They made a bright start and scored twice in the first half through Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had already been sent off, which gave United control.
The match became more difficult in the second half after Casemiro received a second yellow card, reducing United to ten men.
Chelsea pulled a goal back late on through Trevoh Chalobah, setting up a tense finish, but Amorim’s side stood firm and claimed the points.
Manager highlights aggression and urgency
Speaking after the win, Amorim remained calm about the performance, stressing the need to continue improving and use this as a platform.
“Now it is time to create a bit of momentum,” he told Sky Sports. “We started the game really well, really aggressive.”
The Portuguese manager admitted his team lacked fluid play at times, but he praised their determination and how they battled for every ball.
“I cannot remember a very good play from us, but we pushed our opponent in how aggressive we were in the first and second balls,” Amorim said.
He also noted that United must avoid making things harder for themselves after Casemiro’s dismissal, though he recognised the early red card for Chelsea helped them.
“I felt the urgency, especially in the beginning of the game. The sending off helped us. If you remember the first half, we had so many opportunities three against one, three against two,” he explained.
Call for more clinical finishing
Despite securing the win, Amorim was quick to point out the need for his players to be sharper in front of goal.
“We have to be more clinical to finish the game sooner. With the sending off of Casemiro, you never know what is going to happen so we have to take the chance to kill the game,” he added.
United will now turn their focus to Brentford, who visit Old Trafford in their next Premier League fixture.

Likes, dislikes from Purdue football's loss at Notre Dame: Defense needs to help offense
SOUTH BEND — Another week, another long Purdue football lightning delay.
Another year, another lopsided Boilermaker loss to Notre Dame. The No. 21 Fighting Irish stormed to a 56-30 victory at Notre Dame Stadium — their 10th straight in the series over the past 18 years.
Purdue waited out a two-hour lightning delay late in the first half. It allowed a 100-yard kickoff return sandwiched between its own field goal and touchdown drive in those final 91 seconds.
Occasional flashes on offense and special teams could not overcome a 60-minute clinic on the perils of arm-tackling.
Here is what I liked, disliked and what Purdue’s loss to Notre Dame means.
What I liked in Purdue football’s loss at Notre Dame
Purdue football is bold again, and whether it works or not on a given play is beside the point.
Notre Dame had to be prepared for trickeration after it saw that attempted throw-back to the quarterback which turned into an accidental double-lateral for a touchdown against USC. The Boilers ran something similar for their first touchdown, with Devin Mockobee taking a handoff and completing a forward pass to Ryan Browne for a 14-yard score.
Then we finally saw James Shibest’s riverboard gambler come out. Jack McCallister lined up to punt on fourth-and-5, then pulled it down and ran for a 10-yard gain. That kept alive a field goal drive.
Purdue’s three-man rush struggled to get to CJ Carr throughout the first half. Then defensive coordinator Mike Scherer sent strong safety Myles Slusher on a first-down blitz, and his strip sack set up a chance for points before the lightning struck.
Calculated risks won’t always pay off, but these high-upside chances have gone Purdue’s way a lot early this season.
Put Spencer Porath high on the list of players who made the most of the gap between freshman and sophomore year. The Brownsburg product made 7 of 11 field goals as a freshman. He’s 7-for-7 after connecting from 48, 26 and 35 in the first half Saturday. Purdue knows it can consistently score without ultimate success on drives, and that takes a lot of pressure off an offense. The three-and-out on offense and one-play touchdown drive on defense were about the worst possible start to the game. The upside was how the Boilers responded with explosive plays — a 23-yard receiving play to Mockobee and a 31-yard downfield strike to Nitro Tuggle. This team may lose, but it does not look inclined to fold.
Trophy game: What is the Shillelagh Trophy? What trophy do Purdue and Notre Dame play for?
What I disliked in Purdue football’s loss at Notre Dame
Where to start with the defensive performance?
Purdue’s ability to shift between three- and four-down fronts against USC showed it could, theoretically, adapt to varying matchups. Of course, the problem comes when you run into an offense which can exploit whatever look you give.
Notre Dame’s touchdown bomb over the top on its first snap understandably shook the Boilers. They shifted predominately to the three-man front, which Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price proceeded to carve up for a combined 231 yards and five touchdowns.
Even after bringing in the second string offense early in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame was still averaging 7 yards per carry. It averaged 8.3 per carry on first down. That’s an astonishing number — and a glaring point of emphasis now for Purdue.
Did the poor rush defense open the door for Notre Dame to hit on six explosive plays for a combined 193 yards? Or did the Irish’s ability to hit those game-breakers unfettered force the light box which gave up those big carries?
Does it really matter?
The offensive line committing penalties on each of the first three drives. Jalen St. John’s unnecessary unsportsmanlike conduct flag killed the opening possession. Joey Tanona committed a red zone false start and negated a big gain with a hold on the next two. The running game’s underwhelming performance through three weeks reached a new low Saturday. As of early in the fourth quarter, Browne had scrambled three times for 26 yards — but those came as the result of passing plays. On conventional runs, discounting the Irish’s lone sack, Purdue totaled 32 yards on 18 carries.
What Purdue football’s loss at Notre Dame means
Purdue reaching its first idle week with a 2-2 record comes as no surprise. While the execution lacked at times against USC and Notre Dame, the fight did not.
Now comes a two-week chance to analyze, evaluate and tweak before taking on another tough assignment. Illinois took the No. 8 ranking into Saturday night’s game in Bloomington. The Illini should take no Purdue team lightly considering their recent history in the rivalry.
What did Saturday teach the Boilermakers, and how can they apply those lessons in two weeks?

Watch the AEW All Out Toronto post-show media scrum
AEW’s big All Out Toronto pay-per-view (PPV) is in the books. Sat., Sept. 20’s show from Scotiabank Arena closed with Men’s World champion Hangman Page retaining his title in a war with rising star Kyle Fletcher.
That wrapped up an event that, including the Saturday Tailgate Brawl pre-show, featured 14 total matches. Only one title changed hands out of the five championship bouts on the card, but that was Kris Statlander’s shocking win in the Women’s World title 4way. We also saw crazy action from MJF and Mark Briscoe, and especially Jon Moxley and Darby Allin.
That was just some of what happened at All Out Toronto — which means Tony Khan and the stars of All Elite Wrestling should have plenty to talk about at the media scrum kicking off right about now.
So click play up above and get ready for reactions to an eventful All Out Tortonto. The scrum will also likely include some fun in-character work, comments on recent AEW-related news & rumors, some hints of what’s to come for the company & its partners, and who knows what else. These things do have a history of being pretty eventful…

Notre Dame blasts Purdue with high powered offense, 56-30
The Notre Dame offense showed up to play the Purdue Boilermakers, but the defense was still more than questionable. The Irish were without starting cornerback Leonard Moore and starting nickelback DeVonta Smith for the game, and it really showed.
The game started as a bit of a track race with the Irish scored touchdowns on its first four possessions.
After getting a three and out on Purdue to start the game, CJ Carr hit Malachi Fields on a 66 yard post to take the early lead. Purdue, however, answered Notre Dame’s energy with a 6 play 75 yard drive that resulted in a touchdown via a really nice halfback throwback pass to tie the game at 7.
6️⃣6️⃣ YARDS TO THE HOUSE

The Irish turned the running game ON. The next three Irish touchdowns came from a 1 yard Jeremiyah Love TD dive, and Jadarian Price scored a couple of touchdowns — with one being on his first carry of the game (21 yard score).

The Irish did allow a couple of Boiler field goals (one of which came shortly after a fake punt conversion) and got the ball back with 1:46 left in the half. On the first play of the drive, CJ Carr was strip sacked by pressure from the left side and the Boilers took over. One stuffed run later — the game was put under a weather delay because of lightning in the area.
After a two hour delay — the game resumed with 1:31 left in the 2nd quarter. Notre Dame’s defense held well — including a third down sack from Donovan Hinish and Gabe Rubio, and the Boilers had to kick a FG to make it 28-16.
Then a little Irish fun ensued. Jadarian Price returned the kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. There was a flag on the ground, but after the referee summit — they picked it up and the Irish made it 35-16 with 1:00 left in the 2nd quarter. Purdue, however, only needed 53 seconds to find the endzone with a Nitro tuggle touchdown reception to make it 35-23 at the half.

The weather delay served as the halftime break (plus a 3 minute TV timeout), so no team will go back to the lockers for halftime.
Notre Dame wasted little time on its opening drive of the second half. After gaining a couple of first down, CJ Carr handed it off to Jeremiyah Love, and he went 46 yards for a touchdown to make the scoreboard read 42-23.

The Irish forced a punt and went right back to work. After a personal foul flag on Purdue during the punt, it took ND only 3 plays to score on a beautiful out and up route by Jordan Faison for 48 yard score to make it 49-23.

As maligned as the defense has been, they did get their second 3rd down sack of the game on the next Purdue drive, and that turned into a punt — and an 8 play, 70 yard touchdown drive with Jadarian Price ending up in the endzone for the fourth time in the game.
Before the end of the 3rd quarter, Notre Dame started sending in the backups on offense — including Kenny Minchey at quarterback and Aneyas Williams at running back. Carr’s day was done, and he finished with a nice stat line of 10-12 for 223 yards and 2 touchdowns. Love had 157 yards on 19 carries with 2 touchdowns, while Jadarian Price added 74 yards on 9 carries with three touchdowns (plus his 100 yard kickoff return for a score).
After a failed 4th down conversion, Purdue started driving for a second, but freshman Dallas Golden got his first career interception to get the ball back for the Irish. Notre Dame refused to send out James Rendell and turned the ball over again on downs.
Purdue tacked on another touchdown to make it 56-30.

What Brent Venables had to say after Oklahoma's 24-17 win over Auburn
Oklahoma football coach Brent Venables can now be fully certain the 2025 season is not like 2024’s version.
His 12th-ranked Sooners picked up their fourth straight win to start the year Saturday, coming from behind in the fourth quarter to overcome No. 25 Auburn, 24-17, in Norman.
Quarterback John Mateer’s nine-yard touchdown run with just under five minutes to play provided the final lead necessary and R Mason Thomas sacked Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold in the end zone on the Tigers’ final drive to add two points of insurance with a safety.
Venables, whose teams had started 3-0 in each of his previous three seasons, smiled throughout his post-game press conference, happy with his team’s effort and the final result.
Here’s what he had to say to the media after the game.
Opening remarks
The energy in the stadium all afternoon was really cool. Proud of our players. The determination, the resolve, the grit, the ability to overcome, keep fighting back. … Making plays when you have the opportunity to. Ther aren’t going to be a whole lot of them to be had, but you have to complement each other. … Sategna did a really nice job possession the ball and Grayson Miller, I don’t know what his average is since taking over a couple weeks ago, but five punts for 55 yards a punt. … It wasn’t always pretty. But that’s football when you play good people. … The storyline has to say ‘Y’all played your butt off.’ Affected their run game and their ability to pass the ball. We had a record 10 sacks. R Mason Thomas came off the bench and really impacted the game again. We were a little leaky in coverage in times and we knew they were really good. We’ve got to play better. We’ve got to put them in better position, make better calls. But in the second half, really excellent job. Everybody contributed. Six guys caught passes. Grayson and Sandell, they were awesome.
On defensive pressuring quarterback
I know the ‘backers are a part of that, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention them too. We played the second half with a really light box. … We continued to stop the run with a really light box. Note to self. Their phsyciality, their ability to get off of blocks and knock people back was something else today.
On leaving time left after final touchdown
I think there was maybe five minutes and some change on the clock. Score and take the lead. Knowing that’s an offense, if we’re doing what we should be doing, they’re going to take some time to go down the field. Make the quarterback hold it. If they need to dunk it a little bit. Not like the first half where we, second quarter, third quarter, the drive they had where they go down and score the touchdown, we had several opportunities there. Really wanted our defensive line to pin their ears back. Coaches had the guys ready with some things we were doing up front to help those guys as well.
On final touchdown drive
Tells you a lot about who they are, who’s in the huddle. Coach Arbuckle and the rest of the offensive coaches. They were able to do it. Really the toughness that that takes to put everything that didn’t go how you’d like it to, to put it behind and put it together and go down the field, that was something else.
On Jayden Jackson
He was fantastic. I don’t know what he has in his very young career. He may not have two-and-a-half sacks in his career so far. He’s caused a lot of sacks, I know that. He was so good. Played vertical all day, physical all day. Unblocked a lot. Really affected the game interior wise.
On Sategna’s touchdown play
We didn’t substitute. We were on the field. We asked the official. We’re lined up, we’re on the ball, everything is good and legal. We weren’t in a big hurry, so, yeah.
On Sategna’s day
I thought he was fantastic. Bragging on him. He’s a football player. The moment is never too big for him. … He’s not a huge guy. He’s not small, but he’s a smaller receiver compared to some of the bigger ones out there, but he plays big. He’s got great toughness to him. Excellent skill-set. He was fantastic today.
On Mateer
He led us to a win. I thought John was awesome like he always is. Have an opportunity to watch the tape and all those types of things, but we were four out of four in the red zone. That last drive was just fantastic. … Had some huge runs and that last one there, obviously, the quarterback run. He got some really timely third downs with patience and athletic ability and the go-ahead touchdown there.
On getting final safety on last Auburn drive
That might be a storyline but it wasn’t part of what we were thinking. It was what we need to do to help our guys to get pressure on this guy and get off the field. Really kind of got scarred up during the day. That last drive prior to that where they scored the touchdown, really scarred up. But you learn a lot, too. Things not to do. But we got it right at the right time. I thought front and the back played very cohesive. Really good coverage helps the d-line.
On importance of winning SEC opener
These are moments where you learn a lot about yourself. You gain, even through the failure along the way, you gain confidence. We try to preach to our guys all the time. So many of them naturally want to carry all this pressure, burden, to be perfect. Human nature. … This is another example that you don’t have to play perfect or have this amazing four-quarter game. You just need to be good at the right moments. … It takes everybody, coaches and players included. I’ve been talking about my favorite part of this team is just all three phases is the entire team, collective. The sum of all of our parts gives us an opportunity to have a pretty dang good football team. … We’ll get better. There’s plenty of bad on the field today. But that’s how you get beter. … Bye week comes at a great time. Got to get some guys healthy. Had a handful of ankles going into the game and we’re going to get some guys back for our next game provided there’s no setbacks.
On offensive line
I think Auburn was one of the better sack teams and disruptive teams the last few weeks to start the year. I think we held them to one sack. At the right time we were able to get into sync and do a really good job. That was a good defense we played and I thought the o-line played pretty dang good.
On short passes equivalent to rushes
You look at the NFL, that’s the NFL. The efficient offenses do it really well. Catching the ball and getting rid of it. Efficiency is staying on schedule, being able to throw it and catch it. … It’s not always there, the windows are small. You go against good people. You’re on the clock and it’s a very fast clock. You have to be timely in your execution and physical in the right moments, too. I thought we really were.
On lessons for Guillory
All the great ones will have a day that you’d like to have back. You just want to go somewhere and hide. I can help him, too. It’s not all on him, but this will help him. He’s a really tough kid. He’s really prideful and he made some plays there late. Great position and doing the things we needed to do, too, that don’t show up on the stat sheet. He’ll be all right.
On pressuring Jackson Arnold
He’s got amazing courage and toughness. He’s going to have plenty of amainzg days. He had some great moments today. He’s still just a baby. All his best days are in front of him. For me, I don’t even have the stats what he did. I know we sacked him 10 times, but other than that, you know, he made a great play. Made some guys miss in the open field. … He’s got great days in front of him, I’m just glad at the right time, we made some great plays on him when we needed to.
