Arch Manning throws 2 TD passes as top-ranked Texas holds off UTSA with SEC schedule looming
Arch Manning gave the top-ranked Texas Longhorns an early spark by throwing two touchdown passes Saturday night in Austin, but the star quarterback struggled for much of the game as Texas beat UTSA 30-6.
Manning finished the night with 164 passing yards, completing just 17 of 33 passes. He absorbed multiple hard hits from UTSA defenders before leaving the game about halfway through the fourth quarter.
The victory improved Texas to 3-0, but this season's challenge will intensify next week when the Longhorns open Southeastern Conference play.

Gianni Spetic kicked three field goals, and Texas led 23-6 entering the fourth quarter. Freshman Derrick Cooper scored his first career touchdown on a run with less than nine minutes left on the clock.
Manning largely struggled after his fast start. He missed open receivers and wildly overthrew others. He took several hard hits on scrambles and had his helmet knocked off by a violent collision in the second quarter.
The Texas defense picked up where it left off after its dominant second half against Ohio State. The Longhorns allowed just 143 total yards and kept the Roadrunners out of the end zone.
UTSA hosts Colorado State next Saturday.

US military strikes alleged narco-trafficking vessel in Caribbean, killing 4 'narco-terrorists'
The U.S. military on Saturday carried out a lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean that it said was involved in drug trafficking, killing four alleged "narco-terrorists," according to U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).
"On September 19, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean," SOUTHCOM said in a statement.
"Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking," the statement continued.
SOUTHCOM said four alleged "narco-terrorists" were killed during the operation.

Saturday's strike comes amid a monthslong campaign launched by the Trump administration aimed at dismantling cartel-linked trafficking networks.
SOUTHCOM has conducted dozens of strikes in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean targeting vessels it says are connected to "narco-terrorists."
On Sept. 9, the military said it carried out a strike on a vessel involved in narco-trafficking that resulted in three deaths.

Following Saturday's strike, the Trump administration's campaign targeting suspected cartel vessels has resulted in at least 231 deaths tied to at least 69 reported strikes over roughly one year.
Video of Saturday's operation released by SOUTHCOM shows a vessel moving through the water before erupting into a massive fireball.
In recent weeks, SOUTHCOM has also released several videos showing military personnel intercepting and boarding vessels allegedly involved in narco-trafficking before removing their crews and sinking the boats.
Many of the operations recently highlighted by SOUTHCOM have targeted vessels allegedly tied to Los Choneros, which the military has described as a violent "narco-terrorist" organization.

Justice Department charges 16 across multiple states with alleged illegal voting, election crimes
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against 16 people in multiple states in connection with alleged illegal voting, voter registration and other election-related crimes, including cases involving noncitizens accused of casting ballots in federal elections.
DOJ followed the announcement with a warning on social media, saying some of those charged allegedly voted in the 2022 and 2024 elections, and warning others against attempting to illegally participate in U.S. elections.
"Let this be a warning to ANYONE trying to cheat and undermine our elections," the DOJ wrote. "Spread the word!"
According to DOJ, eight non-citizens residing in Texas were charged, while the other cases involved defendants in Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Michigan.
SKID ROW FORGERIES, ILLEGAL VOTES AND A MAYORAL CANDIDATE: ELECTION FRAUD CASES PILE UP NATIONWIDE
The allegations include noncitizens voting in federal elections, false claims of U.S. citizenship to register or vote, and false statements related to naturalization.
During the investigations, the DOJ said authorities also uncovered alleged passport and identification fraud, wire fraud and firearm-related offenses.
The cases are part of a broader Trump administration enforcement effort targeting alleged illegal voting and election-related crimes.
WATCH: ILLEGAL ALIEN BUSTED IN BATTLEGROUND STATE AFTER ALLEGEDLY COMMITTING VOTER FRAUD
In Georgia, DOJ said Analiea Milliscent Eccles, a Venezuelan national and DACA recipient, voted nine times between 2008 and 2024. She was charged with voting as a noncitizen and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to vote.
Avila Gomez, a Mexican national residing in Idaho, is accused of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote and then voting in May 2022 and November 2024. The indictment also includes wire fraud, passport, identification-document and firearm-related charges.
DOJ said Santana Coulibaly, a lawful permanent resident in New Jersey, registered to vote in 2016, voted in federal elections in 2018 and 2020 and submitted a provisional ballot in the 2024 presidential election. She also faces allegations involving statements made in her naturalization applications.
Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the DOJ's Fraud Division told Fox News that the Trump administration has now charged 50 non-citizens with illegal voting.
"America's elections are for Americans," McDonald said.
In a separate interview, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said a broader investigation was underway.
Mullin said officials have more than 1,620 open cases and have made 151 arrests. He also said authorities are looking into more than 300,000 suspected cases, a figure he said continues to grow.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTED IN INDIANA FOR ALLEGEDLY VOTING IN FEDERAL ELECTION: DHS
Mullin asserted that "every single vote that was at the hands of an illegal [immigrant], canceled out a citizen that was legally registered and able to vote."
"One is too many, but the fact that we have 300,000 cases we're looking into right now and 1,620 cases that are under investigation, and 151 arrests is unacceptable," Mullin said.
The Justice Department noted that the charges announced Friday are accusations and that all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
READ IT: Ed Sheeran's pre-concert speech to Philly crowd about the Gaza controversy
Here is the full text of singer Ed Sheeran's speech before his Philadelphia concert Saturday night on the ongoing controversy after Macklemore was dropped as an opening act for making "free Palestine" comments and his other opening acts pulled out of his tour.
"This is not usually how I open a show, but before I play some songs tonight I hope it’s OK if I say a few words about this last week. I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky a lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest I’m surprised, I’m not surprised."
"But this week the criticism was about something much more important. And I’ve had to take and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so sorry. I don’t want to disappoint fans, and I’ve never wanted to be an activist musician, but this put me in the middle of an important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the planet.
ED SHEERAN SAYS HE TRIED TO ‘BUILD A BRIDGE’ OVER MACKLEMORE TOUR SPOT BEFORE VENUES SAID NO
"My concerts have always been a safe space for everyone and that matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely central to who I am, and that is why I’m here tonight on my own and continuing my current tour.
"But I am deeply worried about the idea of venues pre-approving content of performers. This happens in so many places I perform around the world, but it should never happen in the free world.
"Now, I want to address the question of where I stand in the situation in Israel and Palestine and whether my doing this concert here tonight implies where I stand. I’ve tried in my career not be a political commentator of any kind because I want my music and shows to be about unity not division, about humanity not politics.

"But this is a humanitarian issue and I cannot hide how I feel about it anymore. What happened in Israel at a … music festival on Oct. 7 was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain. What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate.

"My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians’ lives, of children’s lives and the systemic justice we’re seeing unfold in the West Bank cannot be overlooked.
"I am already speaking to people across the spectrum to work out how to make a contribution that helps victims of these terrible times, and listening and learning because I do not know enough.

"This concert is still a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone here can stand beside people who have opposing views, and everyone here can stand by people that they don’t agree with on everything, but they can all agree I’m singing these songs.
"And these songs are about love, hope and unity."
'Devoted' father and grandfather-to-be swimming at popular beach killed in suspected fatal shark attack
A "devoted" father and grandfather-to-be was reportedly killed by a shark this week while swimming at a beach in Australia.
Greg O'Neill, 63, was swimming at Sorrento Beach in the northern suburbs of Perth in Western Australia on Friday when the attack happened in front of horrified beachgoers.
"I couldn’t believe there was that much blood (that had) come out of a human body," Ryan Rowe, a resident who went to the beach soon after the attack, told The West Australian newspaper.
AUSTRALIAN SURFER RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE FELLOW SURFER WHO HAD BEEN ATTACKED BY A SHARK
O’Neill’s death also prompted Australia's fisheries minister, Jackie Jarvis, to make the rare call for a catch-and-kill of the great white, which is a protected species.
"In making that decision, I considered the exceptional circumstances of the attack, the hazard posed by the shark, and the potential recovery of coronial evidence," she said.

Police haven’t said if O’Neill’s remains have been found, but added they were confident the "swimmer died as a result of the attack."
Witness Darrel Haythornthwaite told Nine Network television that O’Neill was swimming with a friend when he was attacked.
"I was just shocked. I mean, I feel for his mate," Haythornthwaite said. "He's apologized and said 'I didn't save my mate’ … I said, 'You couldn't have done anything.'"
AUSTRALIAN MOTHER HEALING WITH 'BEAUTIFUL MESSAGES' AFTER LOSING ARM TO SHARK ATTACK
O’Neill told ABC News Australia, "Our family is deeply shocked and devastated by the terrible tragedy that took the life of father, grandfather-to-be, brother, uncle, husband and friend, Greg James O'Neill."
"He was a generous, devoted family man that gave his children so much love, care and opportunity. Greg loved the ocean and was known as a passionate swimmer, sports lover, dedicated worker and an all round generous, witty guy," the family added. "The kind thoughts and support from everyone who has reached out are deeply appreciated."
A surfer also suffered a serious leg injury on Monday in a shark attack about 250 miles north of Perth.
O’Neill was the fifth fatal shark attack this year.
Three spearfishing divers were killed between May and June in attacks and a 12-year-old boy was killed in Sydney Harbor in January.
Kentucky shocks ninth-ranked Texas A&M behind dominant defense in SEC upset
A week after collapsing against Alabama, Kentucky responded in its next Southeastern Conference game. Wildcats quarterback Kenny Minchey threw two touchdown passes as Kentucky stunned No. 9 Texas A&M 31-21 Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station.
A third-quarter surge under first-year coach Will Stein powered the Wildcats to the upset, giving Stein his first road win in conference play and Kentucky its first victory over a ranked opponent in nearly two years. The Wildcats last defeated a ranked opponent on Sept. 28, 2024, when they beat then-No. 6 Ole Miss 20-17.
Texas A&M’s offense faced a familiar challenge Saturday against a Kentucky defense led by former Aggies assistant coach Jay Bateman. Kentucky’s defensive coordinator spent the past two seasons on Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko’s staff.
BIJAN ROBINSON BELIEVES TEXAS' COMEBACK OVER OHIO STATE CAN CHANGE ENTIRE SEASON TRAJECTORY
Bateman’s familiarity appeared to pay off as Kentucky kept Texas A&M off balance throughout the game, limiting quarterback Marcel Reed to 236 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
"This is what I expect us to do," Stein said. "That’s how I expect us to play. That is the physicality, that’s the toughness, that’s the competitiveness, that’s the grit that I expect us to play with every single Saturday."
Minchey, a transfer from Notre Dame, found Kenny Darby wide open for a 42-yard touchdown on the first drive of the second half to break a 7-all tie.
Kentucky running back CJ Baxter then put together rushing touchdowns on the Wildcats' next two drives to extend the lead to 28-7. The Wildcats made it 31-14 on a 52-yard field goal with less than nine minutes remaining.

Texas A&M was driving after that, but Kentucky defensive back Jordan Castell intercepted Reed.
"I did not do a good enough job of coaching this team and preparing this team," Elko said. "I don’t take any positives from this game. I don’t want to take away anything from Kentucky. ... Kentucky came in here and whopped us."
The Aggies cut the lead to 31-21 when Reed connected with Micah Riley for a 5-yard score with less than four minutes to go, but that proved to be the final score. Minchey finished the day with 252 passing yards, while Baxter had 19 carries for 87 yards.
The Wildcats outgained Texas A&M 196-20 in the third quarter.
Texas A&M faces another difficult test next week when it travels to LSU. Kentucky returns home to Lexington next week to host South Alabama.

Three Cowboys players fined more than $33,000 combined after season-opening loss to Giants
Three Dallas Cowboys players were fined by the NFL for penalties committed during the team’s season-opening loss to the New York Giants.
Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and running back Javonte Williams received fines totaling $33,409, according to the NFL’s weekly accountability report.
Overshown was fined $9,527 for a late hit on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart with 9:38 remaining in the first quarter. The unnecessary roughness penalty gave New York 15 yards during a drive that ultimately ended with a touchdown.
Ezeiruaku received an $11,941 fine for grabbing a Giants player’s facemask with 2:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. The penalty helped New York drain the clock and secure its 28-20 victory.
Williams was also fined $11,941 for taunting Giants safety Tyler Nubin following a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Williams held the ball toward Nubin after crossing the goal line, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty that was enforced on the extra-point attempt. Brandon Aubrey subsequently missed the 48-yard kick, leaving Dallas eight points behind.
"I don’t know why I did it. It’s just out of character. You don’t got to worry about that no more," Williams said afterward, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater. "The damage is already done. It’s my fault. I’m better than that. I’m a pro."
Dallas finished the loss with nine accepted penalties. The Giants were assessed 11 penalties of their own as the NFC East rivals combined for 20.
Engelbert Humperdinck reveals how an untied shoelace saved his life during British Army service
British singer Engelbert Humperdinck is reflecting on how his shoelace saved his life during his service in his country's army.
During a recent episode of "The Engelbert Humperdinck Show," the 90-year-old singer reflected on his time in the British Army, sharing that he enlisted in 1954 when he was 18 years old and that an undone shoelace saved his life.
He explained that, prior to being stationed somewhere, he was hoping he would end up in Cyprus because his friend was already stationed there, but he ended up in Germany.
"The way they choose people and when you're in training, you form a rank of threes, and the adjutant goes around with the sergeant major, and he goes counts out 24 people. And they'll say hit Cyprus, Germany, Belgium or whatever it is, wherever you're going to."
Humperdinck recalled that when the time came to line up for their assignments, "all of a sudden, I looked down and my bootlace had came undone."
He took a moment to pause and tie his shoelace, noting that "in the meantime, everybody's forming into ranks of three."
"So I ran after I tied my shoelace and stood where I possibly could in the front line, and they started counting Malaya, Cyprus and I was the next one. Germany. I went to Germany. I was just I just missed Cyprus by one.
"I think God was watching over me because, later on, I found out all the people that went to Cyprus never got there. They got killed in an ambush on the way to Nicosia."

The singer said it was "unbelievable that I wasn't in that batch" because he only missed it by one.
He called the time he served in Mulheim, Germany, "an interesting couple of years."

Humperdinck, born Arnold George Dorsey, had his big break in the music industry in 1967 with the release of his song, "Release Me," which reached No. 1 in the U.K.
According to his official biography, Humperdinck has sold more than 140 million records worldwide throughout his career, received four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for entertainer of the year and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"I never thought that. I was just happy to have success at that time," he told Billboard in June 2017 about celebrating 50 years in the industry. "It was always a question in my head about how long it was going to last.
"If you don’t put out material that’s going to last, you’re not going to last. Over the years, I sold over 150 million records. My music has been my passport to the world, and it’s been amazing for me."
