The BYU Cougars have and will continue to have major questions asked about their quarterback situation in the 2024 season as they deal with the fallout of the latest whiff on the recruiting front, but Jake Hatch took some time to address the concerns as best he can and lend some insight into what Kalani Sitake, Aaron Roderick and the BYU football program may do to fix things.Jake then dug into the latest hea's heard about BYU basketball coach Mark Pope in relation to the head coaching vacancy with the Kentucky Wildcats and while Jake harbors doubts about Pope's ability to be hired in Lexington, crazier things have happened and Brigham Young University (BYU) will need to keep an eye on the situation as it evolves in the coming days.Finally, the show wrapped up with a look back at the 1926 season for the BYU football program as head coach C.J. "Chic" Hart hoped to parlay a relatively successful 1925 campaign into sustained success, but instead found how quickly things could go south despite two breakthroughs for BYU against archrivals Utah and Utah State interspersed in a tough season. Join the Locked On Cougars Subtext Community by clicking here!

The 39-year-old Verlander won the award for the third time, having previously won in 2011 with Detroit and 2019 with Houston. He’s the 11th player to win it three times. Verlander missed almost all of the previous two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He led the AL in ERA. Alcantara led the majors in complete games with six.

Pelicans 124, Bulls 110 – CJ McCollum scores 23 points, Pelicans top Bulls 124-110 CJ McCollum scored 23 points, Jonas Valanciunas added 22 and the New Orleans Pelicans won their second straight game without Zion Williamson in the lineup, beating the Chicago Bulls 124-110.

NCAAFB – Freeman guides No. 18 Notre Dame back from 0-2 start Marcus Freeman’s started his first full season as Notre Dame coach with a stumble and a fall. Losing at No. 2 Ohio State was understandable. Losing the home opener to Marshall and sliding from preseason No. 5 to out of the rankings was not. And losing starting quarterback Tyler Buchner with a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 2 only made matters worse. The Fighting Irish responded to the precarious moment by winning seven of their next eight games — all with a new quarterback, Drew Pyne. And now the Irish are back in the national conversation again.

Tonight Detroit Red Wings at San Jose Sharks, 10:30 p.m. NHL – Hossa interested in more active role with Chicago Blackhawks Marian Hossa isn’t exactly sure how he will feel when the Chicago Blackhawks retire his No. 81 jersey. The Hockey Hall of Famer is certain he is going to watch some more numbers from his championship teams in Chicago go up to the United Center rafters some day. The 43-year-old Hossa gets his moment before Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, another one of his five teams during his 19 NHL seasons. He becomes the eighth player to have his number retired by Chicago, joining an impressive list that also includes Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Tony Esposito.

Immigration Minister Andrew Giles says he had approved Djokovic’s application to revoke the cancellation decision because the ground for canceling the visa no longer existed. The visa ban could have lasted for three years. The 35-year-old from Serbia is clear to compete at the Australian Open, which runs from Jan. 16-29.

The 43-year-old Hossa gets his moment before Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, another one of his five teams during his 19 NHL seasons. He becomes the eighth player to have his number retired by Chicago, joining an impressive list that also includes Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Tony Esposito.

Tennis – Novak Djokovic has visa to play Australian Open in January The Australian government confirmed that Novak Djokovic has been granted a visa to compete in the Australian Open in January a year after he was deported over his stance against COVID-19 vaccination. The 21-time Grand Slam champion had his visa cancelled on public interest grounds on Jan. 14 and lost an appeal against deportation in the Full Federal Court. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles says he had approved Djokovic’s application to revoke the cancellation decision because the ground for canceling the visa no longer existed. The visa ban could have lasted for three years. The 35-year-old from Serbia is clear to compete at the Australian Open, which runs from Jan. 16-29.

The 39-year-old Verlander won the award for the third time, having previously won in 2011 with Detroit and 2019 with Houston. He’s the 11th player to win it three times. Verlander missed almost all of the previous two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He led the AL in ERA. Alcantara led the majors in complete games with six.

The Broncos received the ensuing kickoff and went 57 yards in eight plays — including a 36-yard pass from Treyson Bourguet to Corey Crooms to convert a third-and-11 — to take the lead with Domschke’s field goal. Keni-H Lovely picked off a pass a few plays later to seal it for Western Michigan (4-7, 3-4 Mid-American Conference). Carter finished with three tackles for losses and has 11 this season.

NCAAFB – Freeman guides No. 18 Notre Dame back from 0-2 start Marcus Freeman’s started his first full season as Notre Dame coach with a stumble and a fall. Losing at No. 2 Ohio State was understandable. Losing the home opener to Marshall and sliding from preseason No. 5 to out of the rankings was not. And losing starting quarterback Tyler Buchner with a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 2 only made matters worse. The Fighting Irish responded to the precarious moment by winning seven of their next eight games — all with a new quarterback, Drew Pyne. And now the Irish are back in the national conversation again. NCAAFB – Virginia cancels game vs. Coastal Carolina after shooting Virginia has canceled its home football game against No. 23 Coastal Carolina scheduled for Saturday following a shooting on campus that left three players dead and another wounded.

Calle Rosen, Tyler Pitlick and Ivan Barbashev also scored as St. Louis closed out a perfect three-game trip. Jordan Binnington made 25 saves. The win streak for the Blues comes in the wake of an ugly eight-game slide, when they were outscored 38-12. Andreas Athanasiou scored twice for Chicago, and Arvid Soderblom made 30 stops. The Blackhawks lost for the fourth time in five games. Tonight Detroit Red Wings at San Jose Sharks, 10:30 p.m. NHL – Hossa interested in more active role with Chicago Blackhawks Marian Hossa isn’t exactly sure how he will feel when the Chicago Blackhawks retire his No. 81 jersey.

Emanuel, who saw his first game action the week before as part of a three-quarterback rotation, ran for a 75-yard touchdown on the Chippewas’ first play from scrimmage in the the second half and tied the game at 24-all late in third quarter on an 87-yard run.

His 1-yard score midway through the fourth quarter gave Central Michigan the lead.

The Rams believe Stafford’s symptoms resulted from action in last Sunday’s 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, but they haven’t identified a specific hit. McVay said the Rams haven’t determined whether Stafford can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. John Wolford, a Rams backup since 2019, is likely to start if Stafford can’t go.

U.S. officials have for months tried to negotiate the release of Griner and another American jailed in Russia, Paul Whelan. But there have been no overt signs of progress. WNBA – WNBA to allow coaches challenge next season The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because no official announcement has been made. Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA. MLB – Orioles claim OF Daz Cameron off waivers from Tigers The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Daz Cameron off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

The waiver claim gives Baltimore 34 players on its 40-man roster. The Orioles also turned down their $11 million option on right-hander Jordan Lyles, who gets a $1 million buyout.

DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise.

Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

WNBA – WNBA to allow coaches challenge next season The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because no official announcement has been made. Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA. MLB – Orioles claim OF Daz Cameron off waivers from Tigers The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Daz Cameron off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Cameron hit .219 with a homer and eight RBIs in 21 games with Detroit last season. He also appeared in 98 games with Triple-A Toledo, batting .240 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs. The waiver claim gives Baltimore 34 players on its 40-man roster. The Orioles also turned down their $11 million option on right-hander Jordan Lyles, who gets a $1 million buyout. MLB – Pollock declines $13M option with White Sox, goes free Outfielder AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option with the Chicago White Sox and was among 10 players who became free agents, raising the total to 161. In the final season of what turned out to be a $50 million, four-year contract, the 34-year-old hit .245 with 14 homers and 56 RBIs. World Series champion Houston declined a $10 million option on first baseman Trey Mancini in favor of a $250,000 buyout and declined a $13 million option on reliever Will Smith in favor of a $1 million buyout. FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picked 35-year-old defender Tim Ream, who hasn’t played with the team since September 2021 Also selected were Haji Wright, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Sean Johnson, who all failed to get into a single one of the qualifiers. DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise. Woods is tournament host of the Hero World Challenge. He’ll be part of a 20-man field that features 18 of the top 21 players in the current world ranking. Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

He spoke Wednesday afternoon, hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession.

Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA.

FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok.

DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran.

He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.
