The no.

The Ducks have had the same number as the Bruins lately, and my Oregon vs. UCLA predictions are that we’ll see more of the same tonight.

Read all about it in my college football picks for September 28th.

Oregon vs UCLA Prediction

My best choice
Oregon -25.5 (-110 at BetMGM)
Picks made at the time of writing may not reflect live odds.

My analysis
The UCLA Bruins looked completely inept in the first year of the Deshaun Foster era.

UCLA’s sputtering offense is averaging just 15.3 ppg and has failed to score more than 17 points in any of its first three contests. Quarterback Ethan Garbers has thrown more interceptions (four) than touchdowns (three) while completing 56.7% of his passes, and he’s operating behind a moribund offensive line that’s well below a Power 4 level.

The Bruins pass a lot (third in pass rate), but don’t do it well (115th in pass rate). The line cannot block, and therefore there was no ground game, averaging 60.3 rushing yards per game on 2.7 yards per carry.

Oregon’s defense hasn’t been perfect this year, but it still ranks 22nd in success rate, although one of its games came against play-wrecking force Ashton Jeanty and the top-10 efficient offense he led. The Ducks’ biggest weakness was on the floor (119th in EPA per rush, 131st in rushing explosiveness), but that weakness is completely negated in this matchup.

On the other hand, Dillon Gabriel leads a potent Oregon offense that ranks 14th in success rate and is capable of beating you both in the air and on the ground.

I’ve seen conversations about how well UCLA’s defense is doing this season, but I simply couldn’t disagree more. The only reason the Bruins are allowing less than 30 ppg (29.7) is because they play slow on offense (104th in pace).

Ikaika Malloe’s defense will be significantly inferior in the secondary (112th in EPA per pass, 131st in pass success rate) and bears no resemblance to a pass rush, which is a recipe for disaster in good offenses.

Oregon vs. UCLA Same Game Parlay (SGP)

Oregon -25.5

Under 55.5

Dillon Gabriel 3+ passing touchdowns

Gabriel over 275 yards

Jordan James over 80 rushing yards

UCLA seems content to stick with the ball offensively and snap the ball as rarely as possible to shorten the game. This is the Bruin’s best chance for an upset, and it would be shocking if they didn’t take that approach on Saturday knowing their players will be heavily outnumbered.

While this may leave the game under the overall score, it won’t stop Oregon’s offense from having a successful day at the office. Gabriel is a Heisman hopeful who completes 84% ​​of his passes for 9.7 yards per attempt while averaging 304.7 yards per game, and this is a beautiful matchup.

UCLA is expected to be shorthanded on the defensive front. At defensive tackle Keanu Williams is out this year, while Sitiveni Havili-Kaufusi and defensive end Jacob Busic missed practice this week.

Oregon running back Jordan James has rushed for at least 86 yards in every game this year, running behind a good offensive line (23rd in line yards, 30th in stuff rate) and cutting after a few changes early in the Season better.

Tim Walz’s dual role as Minnesota governor and Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate was on full display Saturday when he attended a tailgate with Michigan football fans before heading to the field to meet with Minnesota’s coach.

Walz visited Ann Arbor to watch the University of Michigan University of Minnesota teams make what is expected to be his last major campaign appearance before Tuesday’s vice presidential debate.

Video above: Tim Walz speaks about the school shooting in Georgia

Earlier in the day, Walz was greeted at the airport by University of Michigan students who had arrived on a bus carrying a banner that read “Put Me In, Coach!” Michigan won the game against Walz’s home school. Walz has leaned on his background as a football coach and teacher on the campaign trail as Democrats seek to stoke enthusiasm among young voters, with Walz visiting several college campuses recently.

The visit comes ahead of Tuesday’s debate between Walz and Donald Trump’s running mate, Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. After Saturday’s game, Walz will travel to Northern Michigan to prepare for the final debate before faceoff, according to a person familiar with his plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private preparations.

Harris, meanwhile, held a fundraiser in San Francisco on Saturday, telling a crowd of vocal supporters that “there is so much at stake in this election.” Immunity from Presidents.

“I’m convinced,” she said. “The American people are convinced that it is time to turn the tide.”

She said the American people are ready for “optimistic leadership” and that’s why her supporters, including Republicans like Dick Cheney, “are supporting our campaign because they want an American president who will work for the entire American people.”

Trump held a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday and also attended a college football game – the prime-time game between Georgia and Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

The Harris campaign ran a new commercial during the game, alerting Trump to the prospect of a second presidential debate. Harris said she would; Trump has ruled it out.

According to another person who also spoke on condition of anonymity, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg played the role of Vance in Walz’s debate preparation sessions, which so far have taken place at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

Michigan is one of the key battlegrounds in November’s presidential election. While Harris has visited Detroit several times since her campaign began in July, Walz has focused his efforts elsewhere in the state, including a recent trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan’s second-largest city.

“No one is winning this state right now,” Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan told reporters shortly before Walz’s arrival Saturday. “We are a purple state. Donald Trump did not win this state and Kamala Harris did not win this state.”

Walz has continued to engage with young voters on the campaign trail, including during a recent visit to Michigan State University. In 2022, Michigan saw the highest youth voter turnout in the nation as Democrats made historic gains in the state. For Harris, exciting similar voters could be crucial this year.

Following the vice presidential debate, Walz and Harris will campaign together on a bus tour of central Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK – Adrien Brody is back with the best performance of his career.

Twenty-two years after his Oscar-winning role in The Pianist, the 51-year-old actor could well receive a second gold statue for his outstanding work in The Brutalist, which screened Saturday at the New York Film Festival. The haunting historical epic runs 3½ hours (with a 15-minute intermission) and is about a Hungarian-Jewish architect named László Tóth (Brody) who flees to America after World War II and ends up in rural Pennsylvania. He struggles to find a job worthy of his unique talent until he meets a wealthy tycoon (Guy Pearce) who hires him to design and build a lavish community center.

The film is a stunning excavation of America’s dark heart, showing how people embrace the creativity and culture of immigrants but rarely love them in return. Speaking to reporters after an early morning screening, Brody spoke of his “personal connection” to the material: His mother, photographer Sylvia Plachy, is also a Hungarian immigrant.

Join our Watch Party!Sign in to get USA TODAY’s movie and TV recommendations delivered straight to your inbox.

“My grandparents’ journey was not unlike this one,” Brody explained. As a girl, Plachy and her family fled Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution and took refuge in Austria before moving to New York in 1958. Like László, her parents in Hungary had “wonderful jobs and a beautiful home” but were just “getting started.” fresh and essentially impoverished” when they arrived in the United States

Barbara Nolan, an Anishnaabe elder whose mission is to promote her country’s language, says she loves hearing stories about how her work impacts children.

Nolan launched a series of online videos last month to introduce the language, called Anishinaabemowin, to the very youngest members of the community.

“I know this grandparent, she sends me a picture of her grandchildren sitting on the floor watching a big-screen TV,” Nolan said in a recent interview from Garden River First Nation, east of Sault Ste. Mary, Ont. “And guess who’s on the big screen TV? It’s me!”

In her videos, Nolan uses immersion techniques – instead of teaching the language, she encourages people to live it. Their content covers a wide range of topics from Halloween to animals to dorm plagues and is presented in a way that children can understand.

Nolan, 77, is an elder born in the Wiikwemkoong First Nation and a boarder survivor. Growing up, she said, she heard her parents speak only Anishinaabemowin.

“I didn’t hear my father or mother speak English,” she said. “And so we grew up with all this language – grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, you know, the whole community.”

Nolan says that many residential school survivors were deprived of their language, a dispossession that she actively resisted but that left an indelible mark on others.

“I would say they don’t want to say it – even today,” Nolan said. “They know it, but they don’t want to talk about it. It’s too painful for her. They believe that someone will come and do something bad to them…You will be punished if you speak your language.”

Trying to counteract this trend, Nolan has been working to revive and popularize the language since the early 1970s. She works as a language teacher at a daycare center in Garden River, playing with Anishinaabemowin children and introducing them to basic words. When the children she cares for first begin to speak, they sometimes use Anishnaab words in addition to English.

But these children, she said, are not immersed in the language; If they are not with her, they do not speak it – or hear it. “And I thought it was time for me to make videos in the language, funny videos, animated videos.”

So she teamed up with Esbikenh, a third-grade Anishinaabe teacher from Walpole Island First Nation who creates digital characters. Together they created online videos that were featured on TikTok and other social media; She even helped develop an application that teaches Anishinaabemowin.

Randy Morin, a professor of indigenous studies at the University of Saskatchewan, says there are about 63 indigenous languages ​​spoken in Canada and that in the long term there will likely only be three. “As you know, our populations are aging and they are the ones who still speak languages, and unfortunately we are losing their languages ​​very quickly,” Morin said in an interview.

According to Morin, a main reason for the loss of language is the federal government’s policies, including the residential school system. “But now it’s our aging population, our elders are dying so quickly and when they die we lose so much: we lose the language, we lose the values, our worldview, how to see the world and interact with the world.”

Indigenous languages, he said, should be made official languages ​​in Canada so they could receive funding proportional to the money invested in English and French programs across the country. “We lose our stories and somehow the meaning of such meaningful words, so we have to hold on to these languages ​​for a variety of reasons,” Morin said.

He added that indigenous languages ​​could offer answers to pressing modern questions. The world’s last biodiverse areas are owned and managed by indigenous peoples, he said, whose languages ​​are encoded with the techniques used to manage the territory. If these languages ​​are lost, the world could lose important knowledge about climate change and sustainable development.

Knowledge is “anchored in languages ​​and in the way we look at the world and how we interact with the world. So we have a lot to lose.”

Nolan tries to leave some of that knowledge behind. The first 10 videos were published online in August, with more to come. She wants to keep going as long as possible – and leave something behind that can stand the test of time.

Locals in Garden River have told her how much they like the effort.

“They’ll stop me on the street and say, ‘Barbara, my little granddaughter, she likes your video. She just loves you, you know,’ and that’s so rewarding for me to hear,” Nolan said.

“It’s for the kids. I did this for the children.”

Week 4 of the fantasy football season is underway, and while we’ve drafted certain players at a high price, it’s okay to consider benching them despite their name value. We often hear the phrase “start your stallions” and it is a tried and true method, especially early in the season. However, we must adapt as new information, injuries, difficult matchups and/or questionable team situations arise. In this issue I’ll be covering Jordan Love, Javonte Williams and Michael Pittman Jr.

The fantasy football season has been brutal so far with injuries and disappointing cleats. There are better days ahead, but for now, precautions are needed until busts like Javonte Williams and Michael Pittman Jr. show signs of life.

Here’s a look at some fantasy football players who have shown red flags recently and you should think twice about adding them to your lineup in Week 4. If you have any issues or concerns, contact @RotoSurgeon at X.

Be sure to check out all of our 2024 fantasy football rankings:

Quarterback Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Jordan Love – Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Love is back as QB1 for the Packers after suffering a knee injury in Week 1. Malik Willis has performed admirably in his absence, but the former first-round pick is ready to play again. While Love has been training since last week, we shouldn’t rely entirely on his knee and mobility in his first game back. Love will reportedly carry a double-header, which will likely limit his fantasy potential as his rushing upside will be limited.

Additionally, Minnesota’s defense ranks first in total defensive DVOA for three weeks (via FTN). They are first against the run and second against the pass. The Vikings aren’t at full strength on defense, but that’s mitigated by a smart DC like Brian Flores. Love has the advantage of healthy weapons and protection, but in all likelihood you won’t ask too much of her in this game.

Who should you start instead?

Justin Fields – Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts

Justin Fields doesn’t score like Chicago’s Justin Fields, but that’s because he plays an efficient, game-controlling style of football. Fields is currently tied with Bo Nix as QB20 in fantasy football, but that should change in Week 4. Pittsburgh hasn’t forced Fields to come loose often, but that could change this weekend against the Colts in Indianapolis as Anthony Richardson is a formidable opponent.

The Colts are 16th in defensive DVOA so far and will be without star DT DeForest Buckner. Meanwhile, the Steelers will play RB Jaylen Warren, which could emphasize the performance of Justin Fields.

Running Back Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Javonte Williams – Denver Broncos at New York Jets

Javonte Williams remains the Denver Broncos’ starter as he has played no less than 51% of the snaps so far but is averaging 2.2 yards per carry on 24 attempts. The Broncos are not committed to him beyond this season and will need results sooner rather than later given the younger RBs on their depth chart, like Jalel, who could deserve more work.

The Jets’ defense hasn’t been elite through three games, but they still have enough talent to figure it out. Denver surprised the weakened Buccaneers team last week, but it’s unlikely they’ll have similar success in New York.

Who should you start instead?

Chuba Hubbard – Carolina Panthers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Carolina Panthers offense looks competent with Andy Dalton at center. This is important not only for the pass catchers, but also for Chuba Hubbard and the backfield. Hubbard leads the RB room on a weekly basis and totaled 26 touches in the last game against Las Vegas. Carolina’s offensive line is better than its 2023 version and is evident in Hubbard’s career-high 5.2 average.

Cincinnati’s defense has lost key interior pieces on its line and ranks 24th overall and 17th against the rush. If Andy Dalton plays half as well as he did last week, Hubbard should be in for another big game.

Wide Receiver Concerns – Sit ‘Em for Week 4?

Michael Pittman Jr. – Indianapolis Colts vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Pittman Jr. has rushed for 88 yards on 20 targets in three weeks. He’s a much better receiver than this production suggests, but Anthony Richardson’s growing pains this season will wear on him until their chemistry – and Richardson’s accuracy – corrects.

The Colts face a strong Steelers defense this week that ranks fifth against the pass. Indianapolis has had plenty of ground success thanks to the talents of Jonathan Taylor and the offensive line, but several OL players are injured this week. It makes sense to bench Pittman Jr. with Josh Downs back, Alec Pierce performing and Richardson struggling.

Who should you start instead?

Jakobi Meyers – Las Vegas Raiders vs. Cleveland Browns

Davante Adams is out this week with a hamstring injury, making Jakobi Meyers a good starting option across all formats. Meyers is a talented receiver, but his presence on offense is overshadowed by elite talents like Adams and Brock Bowers. If the Raiders had a better QB than Gardner Minshew, Meyers could produce regardless of the players around him. However, offenses with limited quarterback play tend to consolidate.

The Browns defense is talented, but Myles Garrett is banged up and they were average early in the season. Meyers had 9 targets last week against the Panthers and has seen an increase on a weekly basis. Unless the Raiders’ rushing attack miraculously revives, Meyers will be a crucial part of the game plan.

In a fiery and tortuous speech in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, former President Donald Trump vowed to “liberate” the state from what he described as an extreme influx of migrants, reiterating his tough stance on immigration while The 2024 presidential election campaign is coming to a head.

As Trump addressed a crowd at the Prairie du Chien Area Arts Center on Saturday, he took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, blaming her for what he said was a crisis at the southern border. “I will free Wisconsin from the mass migrant invasion,” Trump declared, adding, “We will free the country.”

The former president’s comments came just a day after Harris visited the U.S.-Mexico border, where she announced plans to further restrict asylum applications. Trump criticized Harris’ border visit and Fox News for broadcasting her comments, claiming: “Everything she says is lies.”

Newsweek contacted both the Harris and Trump campaigns via email seeking comment on Saturday’s events.

Immigration remains a hot-button issue in Wisconsin and other swing states, and the former president is hoping to capitalize on voter frustration. Trump reiterated his controversial stance after previously calling illegal border crossers “poisoning the blood of the country.” He also promised to launch the “largest deportation operation in American history” if re-elected.

The event featured mugshots of people who were in the U.S. illegally and accused of crimes, including Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate. Local police chief Kyle Teynor addressed the crowd and confirmed that Zarate, who was arrested on multiple charges including sexual assault, was not a U.S. citizen and had fake immigration documents.

Current polls show a close race in Wisconsin. According to the latest findings New York Times/Siena College Poll: Harris leads Trump by a slim 49 percent to 47 percent among likely voters in the state.

The timesThe /Siena poll, conducted Sept. 21-26, surveyed 680 likely voters and has a margin of error of about 4 percentage points. FiveThirtyEight polling averages for Wisconsin show Harris maintaining a narrow 2.1-point lead over Trump (48.8 percent to 46.7 percent).

A recent poll from Redfield and Wilton Strategies shows that 47 percent of respondents trust Trump on immigration, compared to 36 percent who trust Harris. That gap has narrowed in recent weeks, coinciding with a sharp decline in border crossings as a result of President Joe Biden’s executive order restricting asylum applications.

Harris’ tougher stance on border security reflects Democrats’ efforts to close the gap and changing public attitudes toward immigration. Gallup reports that 55 percent of voters — including nearly 30 percent of Democrats — support new immigration restrictions, the highest level recorded since 2001.

The contrasting approaches to immigration policy between Harris and Trump reflect broader ideological differences between the Democratic and Republican platforms. The Republican Party is making immigration a top priority, promising to secure the border and end what they call an “invasion.” In contrast, the Democratic platform emphasizes reforming the asylum system and balancing enforcement with humanitarian considerations.

Trump’s border policies during his presidency have focused on reducing unauthorized immigration, including partially building a border wall, expanding enforcement and imposing stricter asylum rules. His controversial “zero tolerance” policy, which led to family separations at the southern border, was widely criticized and eventually abandoned.

Harris supports comprehensive immigration reform, prioritizing humanitarian protections and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, including “Dreamers.” She advocates modernizing legal immigration systems and portraying immigration as a benefit to the American economy and society.

Trump and other Republicans accused Harris of failing to implement these policies as vice president, blamed her for the increase in illegal border crossings and called her Biden’s “border czar.”

During the ABC News presidential debate, Trump made baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which were debunked. He has also promised mass deportations of migrants, a plan that has drawn skepticism from Democrats and some Republicans because of logistical challenges.

For the first time this year, Donald Trump is in the building for a college football game.

The former president and three-time Republican presidential candidate is in Tuscaloosa to attend Saturday night’s game between Alabama and Georgia.

Trump began his day in Wisconsin with a rally that was supposed to take place outside but was moved indoors due to a lack of Secret Service staff.

He then flew to Alabama to watch the action between the top two SEC programs.

When Trump arrived, dozens of fans were in the concourse of Bryant-Denny Stadium to greet him.

Trump tossed merchandise to fans and many of them chanted “USA” as he entered the stadium.

Last year he attended a game between Iowa and Iowa State and another between Clemson and South Carolina. He also took part in a game at Alabama in 2019.

FANS BOO TIM WALZ AS HE LEAVES THE MICHIGAN-MINNESOTA GAME: “GET OUT!”

Given recent assassination attempts on the former president, including one on his own golf course, acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was asked whether “[these] Types of events are particularly concerning as there could be around tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people in attendance at Saturday’s game. Bryant-Denny Stadium holds over 100,000 people.

But Rowe said his teams “know what they need to do to create a safe environment for our protectees.”

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly arranged for a Trump troll banner to be displayed during the game.

Alabama beat Georgia 27-24 in the SEC title game last season. That gave the Crimson Tide the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff and eliminated Georgia, which had been the No. 1 seed and had won 42 of its previous 43 games. History appeared to be repeating itself after Alabama took a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Isaac was a Category 2 storm far from land in the North Atlantic on Saturday, while Tropical Storm Joyce continued its path over open water in the eastern Caribbean.

Isaac had maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (155 km/h) and was located about 645 miles (1,040 kilometers) west-northwest of the Azores archipelago, which lies west of mainland Portugal. It was moving northeast at a speed of 18 miles per hour (30 km/h), according to the National Hurricane Center.

Far to the south, Joyce had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and was centered about 1,080 miles (1,735 kilometers) east of the Northern Leeward Islands, which lie on the eastern ring of the Caribbean. The hurricane center reported that it was moving west-northwest at a speed of 9 miles per hour (15 km/h).

Neither storm posed a threat to the country, forecasters said, and both were expected to weaken in the coming days.

Hurricane Helenewhich made landfall early Friday as a Category 4 storm, leaving a huge trail of destruction across the southeastern United States and killing at least 56 people.
