Everything the Texas Longhorns want is still in front of them despite Oklahoma loss

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:28 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The main goal for the Texas Longhorns this season has been to play for the Big 12 Conference championship, and even with the hiccup at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, it's still firmly in sight.The No. 9 Longhorns have a chance to heal up some bumps and bruises with a bye week before they head to play Big 12 newcomer Houston on Oct. 21, and in a college football landscape where one loss is mostly treated with panic, the team just has to "handle its business," head coach Steve Sarkisian said. Inches away from scoring at critical moment, Longhorns have plenty to think about during bye week "The overriding message out of this is everything we want out of the season is right in front of us," he said. "This week is as important as any to learn from yesterday, focus on today and prepare for tomorrow. That will help prepare us for the second half of the season."With no divisions in the Big 12 Conference, the top two teams at the end of the regular season advance to the confe...

Dane Mizutani: Vikings better beat lowly Bears this weekend, or else it might be time

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:28 GMT

When the Vikings step onto the natural grass at Solider Field in Chicago this Sunday, they will do so with the same record as the much-maligned team that calls the Windy City home.As of right now, the Vikings are no better than the lowly Chicago Bears, at least as far as the NFC North standings are concerned.Never mind that the Vikings might have a better roster from top to bottom. They haven’t done much this season to prove they should be taken seriously this season. They stumbled out of the starting blocks with losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers before narrowly escaping with a win over the Carolina Panthers, the only winless team in the NFL.As a follow-up, the Vikings hung tough in a 27-20 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. That performance might have carried a little more weight had the first month not already put the Vikings in chase mode. There’s simply no ...

The Department of Justice’s Office of Civil Rights has referred for federal criminal investigation the allegation that Colorado Springs police used excessive force in the violent arrest of a Black man last year, according to a letter released Monday by that man’s attorneys.The criminal referral, made last week by Michael Alston, director of the DOJ’s Office of Civil Rights, comes two months after the Colorado Springs Police Department announced an internal investigation had found officers did not use excessive force while arresting 29-year-old Dalvin Gadson in October 2022.“By referring this case for criminal investigation, the Department of Justice is putting these officers on notice,” Kevin Mehr, one of Gadson’s attorneys, said in a news release. “The CSPD may not take brutality seriously, but the DOJ does.”Representatives of the Colorado Springs Police Department were not immediately available for comment Monday.Alston’s letter states Gadson filed a ...

Broncos stock report: A couple of impressive undrafted rookies, but troubling performances all around in trenches for Denver

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:28 GMT

Stock UpRB Jaleel McLaughlinThe rookie running back had 63 yards and a touchdown on the Broncos’ opening drive and continued showing big-play ability. McLaughlin finished with 89 total yards on 12 touches and now has 193 on 22 over his past two games. He’s tied for the team lead with three touchdowns, fifth on the team in scrimmage yards (206) overall and is averaging 7.1 per touch. Not bad for an undrafted free agent.Pat Surtain IIRarely is it good when players’ parents tweet during blowout losses, but it’s difficult to argue with Patrick Surtain Sr.’s sentiment during the Miami game that PS2 deserves better. Second half of the historic loss to the Dolphins aside, he’s playing really well. On Sunday, Jets No. 1 Garrett Wilson didn’t do much against Surtain — the one time he had a step down the sideline, Zach Wilson threw the ball out of bounds. When Denver really needed a stop, the All-Pro corner came up with a pick. And yet, the unit as a whole has been the worst in football by a ...
