Time to shutter those Rose Bowl dreams.Reality hit the CU Buffs on Saturday afternoon in a 42-6 loss to the Oregon Ducks. And it hit HARD.The Buffs still have a ways to go before they enter the same stratosphere as college football’s elite. That Coach Prime couldn’t get them there by Week 4 of his first season in Boulder is hardly an indictment. It’s simply the reality of the sport. It takes more than one offseason to build the sort of quality depth needed to win in a place like Autzen Stadium. Maybe even more than two.CU has work to do up front. If that wasn’t apparent after last Saturday night’s Rocky Mountain Showdown, it’s painfully obvious now — especially for quarterback Shedeur Sanders.USC and Big Noon Kickoff await next Saturday in Boulder.

As a primordial space rock hurtles toward Earth on Sunday morning, it will be protected by a heat shield invented in Silicon Valley.The priceless rock, grabbed by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from the distant asteroid Bennu, will face searing heat as it enters the Earth’s atmosphere at 27,650 mph. It is expected to fly over the Bay Area around 7:42 a.m. and land in Utah’s Great Salt Lake Desert around 7:55 a.m., where it will be greeted by teams of scientists.Without protection, “it would all burn up, and we’d lose everything of scientific value,” said aerospace engineer Todd White of NASA’s Ames Research Center, a Sunnyvale resident who helped design the thermal protection system for the capsule.The metallic material — lighter than water, with yellow and brown streaks — was designed in specialized wind tunnels, where air gets heat-blasted by a lightning-like arc of electricity, at NASA’s Mountain View facility.The OSIRIS-REx project, managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center...Adell homers off Gray as Angels beat AL Central champion Twins 1-0

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jo Adell homered, Kenny Rosenberg outpitched Sonny Gray and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Twins 1-0 on Saturday, a day after Minnesota clinched the AL Central title.Rosenberg (2-2), a 28-year-old left-hander making his fourth big league start and ninth appearance, allowed five hits and two walks in five innings with five strikeouts. Carlos Estévez, the Angels’ fourth reliever, hit Kyle Farmer with a pitch starting the ninth, then got three straight outs for his 31st save in 35 chances.“Sometimes your best results aren’t necessarily your best execution or your best stuff,” Rosenberg said. “I felt like I was good. I didn’t feel like I had my best stuff, but navigated some runners on base in the first inning and then a couple really nice plays behind me defensively.”Gray (8-8) allowed a fourth-inning homer to Adell on a first-pitch sinker, just the eighth home run off Gray this season. He gave up four hits in six innings and struck out eight, lowering h...Patriots look to get their first win and face a Jets team trying to rebound from an ugly loss

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU coach Sonny Dykes had already ripped the officials with unsolicited comments when he was asked about the rivalry with his former school, SMU, being one step closer to a pause.“Hooray,” a smirking Dykes deadpanned without elaborating as another reporter started asking an unrelated question.Dykes led the Horned Frogs to the national championship game last season. TCU and SMU are not scheduled to play each other after 2025.Dykes had a bit of an edge after pushing his personal winning streak to four games in the “Iron Skillet” series matching the Dallas-Fort Worth rivals with TCU’s 34-17 victory at home Saturday. The first two were when he coached the Mustangs — both in Fort Worth, despite SMU having just one victory in the previous 11 meetings.The next was in Dykes’ return to Dallas last year, a 42-34 victory that Dykes said he was happy to have behind him.The Frogs pulled away after halftime Saturday in the 102nd meeting.TCU officials have said littl...Gettman kicks Bryant past Princeton in OT; Bulldogs top Tigers 16-13
