No. 19 Alabama

handles Wisconsin

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Ty Simpson threw for 382 yards and four touchdowns, including two to returning star Ryan Williams, and No. 19 Alabama overpowered Wisconsin for the second consecutive year, 38-14, on Saturday.

Simpson joined Mac Jones in 2020 as the only quarterbacks in school history to complete at least 80% of his passes and throw three TDs in consecutive games.

Underwood completed 16 of 25 passes, including a 32-yard touchdown pass to Semaj Morgan. He played three quarters before watching the rest of the game from the sideline.

“It’s all good news. The scan came back clean,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Saturday. “So obviously, that’s great for us and great for him.”

Texas A&M jumps

to No. 10 in poll

NEW YORK (AP) — Texas A&M made a big jump into the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll Sunday after its dramatic win at Notre Dame, and the Irish became the first team since 1988 to stay in the Top 25 with an 0-2 record.

Ohio State, Penn State and LSU remained the top three teams, with Miami moving up to No. 4 and Georgia to No. 5 even after a close call at No. 15 Tennessee.

Oregon slipped two spots to No. 6 despite a 20-point road win against Northwestern and was followed by Florida State, Texas, Illinois and the Aggies.

Bengals’ Joe Burrow

injured in victory

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow left the Bengals’ locker room on crutches with a boot on his left foot after injuring his big toe during the second quarter of Cincinnati’s 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Burrow wasn’t made available for interviews after the game, and coach Zac Taylor also didn’t have an update on Burrow’s condition. That’s little reassurance for Bengals fans worried about their star quarterback.

Burrow was hurt when he was sacked by Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead. He was examined in the sideline medical tent and was limping before heading to the locker room

Overtime was on the verge of going scoreless after the teams combined for five go-ahead TDs in the final 12 minutes of the fourth quarter.

Hull wins Kroger

Queen City title

MAINEVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Charley Hull took advantage of top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul’s final-hole putting meltdown Sunday to win the Kroger Queen City Championship.

Thitikul — a stroke ahead after Hull bogeyed the par-4 17th — four-putted the par-5 18th from about 50 feet, missing a 5-footer and a 3-foot comebacker. Hull two-putted from about 30 feet, making a 2-footer for the victory.

Hull closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 20-under 268 at TPC River’s Bend. The 29-year-old English player won her third LPGA Tour title and first since 2022.

Thitikul matched Hull with a 68. The Thai star missed a chance to become the first multiple winner on the tour this season.
