BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes take a little more stagger but no less swagger into the meat of their schedule after surviving a double-overtime thriller in the Rocky Mountain Showdown that stretched into early Sunday.“Resilience,” coach Deion Sanders said when asked for his takeaway from the Buffaloes’ 43-35 win over three-TD underdog Colorado State, which nearly handed Coach Prime his first Power Five conference setback.“We showed that we would fight. We showed that we had no surrender or give-up in us,” Sanders said after watching sons Shedeur and Shilo shine in the Buffaloes’ win after falling behind by 11 points in the fourth quarter. “And that’s a lot for a team that’s fairly new, as you say, we just got together.”Sanders, who hastened the Buffaloes’ rise by scouring the transfer portal like no one before him, figures the scare the Rams put into his team should benefit the Buffaloes when they visit 10th-ranked Oregon (3-0) next weeke...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:43 GMT

MILAN (AP) — Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala looked a powerful partnership in their first match together as they helped Roma crush newly promoted Empoli 7-0 in Serie A on Sunday.Dybala netted twice and Lukaku scored his first goal in his second match since joining from Chelsea. Renato Sanches, Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini and an own-goal from Alberto Grassi secured Roma’s first win of the season in style.Dybala had missed Roma’s last match against Milan — which was Lukaku’s debut — through injury. Empoli has now lost all four of its opening matches without scoring a goal.Jose Mourinho’s Roma got off to the best possible start when it was awarded a penalty almost immediately following a blatant handball by Empoli defender Sebastian Walukiewicz. Dybala struck it powerfully into the top left corner to give his side the lead with less than two minutes on the clock.Renato Sanches headed in a cross from fellow new signing Rasmus Kristensen six minutes later for his first goal for R...

NICE, France (AP) — England first wore Japan down then scored a bizarre try and rolled to a 34-12 win and a second straight victory at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday.With Japan trailing only 13-12 nearing the hour mark, the odd try gave England breathing space. Flyhalf George Ford’s pass glanced off prop Will Stuart’s arm backwards and ricocheted forwards off prop Joe Marler’s mohawk into the grateful hands of captain Courtney Lawes who walked in between the posts. Ford’s conversion made it 20-12.Moments later, Japan cut through England’s defense but knocked on with the line in sight and momentum was lost. England’s third try soon followed, when Ford sent a clever crosskick from right to left and fullback Freddie Steward caught it and twisted into the corner.Good work from right winger Jonny May created space and the ball was quickly moved to the middle, where center Joe Marchant went over for the bonus-point fourth try.Coach Steve Borthwick’s England is not p...
