WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Darian Mensah connected on his first 24 passes on the way to setting Atlantic Coast Conference records for consecutive completions, and fifth-ranked Miami’s defense came up with four straight fourth-quarter stops to beat Wake Forest 33-20 on Friday night. Mensah completed 30 of 34 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns. He helped the Hurricanes take a 31-7 lead midway through the third quarter. The defense stepped up when the offense slowed, including a late interception. Gio Lopez threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns to lead Wake Forest.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has struggled to pass major legislation this year, putting off debates on spending, defense, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. But in its final weeks in session as the midterm elections approach, the Senate can agree on one thing — addressing college sports. The Senate voted twice this week to move forward on legislation to overhaul the rules and financing around the nation’s college sports. It's an effort to put guardrails around skyrocketing spending, prevent constant legal battles and restore order to what the bill’s supporters say is chaos in athletic programs. More than 70 senators are already backing the bill, and final votes could come as soon as next week.
