Share this: Well, this was a scary hit. Notre Dame senior wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. took a hard hit to the head in the end zone during the third quarter of Sunday night’s game at Texas. Hunter Jr., the son of former MLB All-Star Torii Hunter, initially caught the pass, which would have been a go-ahead touchdown, but he dropped the ball after taking the two hard hits. He appeared to go limp afterward, causing concern, but moved his extremities while on the ground and eventually walked off under his own power. He was being evaluated in the locker room when Hunter Sr. and his family joined him there. Hunter Jr. did not return to the game. Hunter Jr. had scored earlier in the

Texas Upsets No. 10 Notre Dame On Tyrone Swoopes’ Amazing Double-OT Run
Share this: If anyone ever questions why you love college football, show them Sunday night’s game between No. 10 Notre Dame and unranked Texas. The Fighting Irish and Longhorns went back and forth for four quarters in Darrell K. Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium before Texas closed out a 50-47 double overtime victory. Texas scored a go-ahead touchdown late in the final frame and seemed to have the game in control. But a blocked PAT attempt that Notre Dame returned for two points tied the game at 37 and forced overtime, which was a treat unto itself. After both teams scored a touchdown and converted the extra point in the first OT period, Notre Dame managed just a field goal in the second overtime. That set
Chris Hogan Could Have Big Role In 2016 Based On Patriots Roster Cuts
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots have four wide receivers on their 53-man roster. Only two practiced in full as recently as last week, and just one stayed healthy all offseason: Chris Hogan. It seems the Patriots have big plans for Hogan, who was acquired from the Buffalo Bills for nada as a restricted free agent this offseason, based on their roster cuts. The Patriots released Aaron Dobson, a 2013 second-round pick , Keshawn Martin, whose contract was extended last season, rookie Devin Lucien and former practice-squaders DeAndre Carter and Chris Harper. That the Patriots only are choosing to carry four wideouts suggests a few things: — They primarily will run a two-tight end set after acquiring Martellus Bennett in an offseason
Koji Uehara Set To Return To Red Sox For San Diego Padres Series
Share this: The Boston Red Sox are about to get a boost to their bullpen. Reliever Koji Uehara will be activated from the disabled list Monday, Red Sox manager John Farrell said before Sunday’s game against the Oakland Athletic, per WEEI’s Rob Bradford. However, the right-hander won’t be available to pitch until Tuesday during Boston’s series against the San Diego Padres. Uehara hasn’t pitched since going down with a right pectoral strain on July 19, but the Red Sox need all the bullpen help they can get down the stretch. Boston’s relievers had the seventh-worst ERA in Major League Baseball in August at 4.70. The 41-year-old has been shaky through 2016, but he hadn’t allowed a run and had given up only one hit in his last

Red Sox Notes: Missed Scoring Opportunities Doom Boston In Loss To A’s
Share this: The Red Sox and Oakland Athletics both were scoreless through eight innings Sunday, but the Red Sox didn’t have the excuse of being no-hit. Eduardo Rodriguez pitched a phenomenal game in the Red Sox’s series finale against the A’s, holding them to one hit over eight strong innings. Boston put hits on the board as the lefty spun a gem, but as has been the case in many close games this season, the Red Sox couldn’t translate them into runs in their 1-0 loss. The popular opinion might be to blame closer Craig Kimbrel, who walked Danny Valencia and gave up a double to Khris Davis to start and end the bottom of the ninth inning. But an error by Brock Holt
Red Sox Notes: Boston In First-Place Tie With Blue Jays After Rout Of A’s
Share this: The Boston Red Sox demolished the Oakland Athletics on Saturday, and it earned them a share of first place in the American League East. The Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 while the Red Sox cruised to their third straight win in an 11-2 drubbing of the A’s. After those results, the Red Sox and Jays sit dead-even atop the AL East with 76-59 records, with the Baltimore Orioles knocking on the back door just two games behind. However, the Red Sox don’t want to celebrate just yet. The Major League Baseball schedule typically loads teams up with division games in September, and that’s no different in 2016. The Red Sox have a full slate of inter-division competition over
