Florida Rocks Ole Miss, Verlander Says Goodbye

Yesterday in Sports recaps a loaded Saturday across college football, Major League Baseball, international soccer, the NFL, the Presidents Cup and Formula One, beginning with No. 1 Texas surviving a road test at Tennessee.

Chris Horwedel covers Texas’ dominant pass rush, including Colin Simmons tying the school record with five sacks, before turning to the day’s biggest college-football upset as No. 21 Florida knocks off No. 4 Ole Miss. Iowa wins on the final play against Michigan, Oregon beats USC amid concern over Dante Moore’s injury, and the rest of the Top 25 slate gets a complete rundown.

In MLB, Cleveland clinches the AL Central, while both the AL West and the final National League wild-card berth remain unsettled heading into the final day. The episode also looks at Justin Verlander’s final major-league start, which ends with Detroit rallying in the ninth to keep him from taking the loss.

Soccer brings a youth-heavy United States performance against Peru, highlighted by Cavan Sullivan becoming one of the youngest senior USMNT players ever, while Spain rallies past England in Nations League action.

The episode also covers Green Bay’s reported move for veteran guard Laken Tomlinson, the International Team carrying a lead into Presidents Cup singles and George Russell winning the Azerbaijan Grand Prix by less than two-tenths of a second.
