Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:08:37 GMT

STANFORD – There won’t be a miraculous Year 1 turnaround for Stanford under Troy Taylor.With seven of its remaining nine games against opponents currently ranked in the Top 25, Stanford (1-2) will be hard-pressed to even reach last year’s 3-9 record.If Taylor needed a reminder of how big a rebuilding project he had on his hands, he got it Saturday night in Stanford’s 30-23 loss to Sacramento State, an FCS program where Taylor had spent the previous four seasons.The only other time the programs met, Stanford won 52-17 in 2010 with Andrew Luck throwing TDs to Doug Baldwin and Zach Ertz, and Richard Sherman leading the defense. This time there was no such talent discrepancy – the Cardinal was just outplayed by its lower-division foe. Stanford didn’t even reach the opponent’s 20-yard line in the final 43 minutes of its home opener and was outgained 448-378.In Year 1 at Sacramento State, Taylor took a Hornets team that had gone winless in the Big Sky the prior year and led it to a 7-1 re...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:08:37 GMT

BORDEAUX, France (AP) — All of South Africa’s plans came together at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday.The first objective was achieved in a thumping 76-0 win over underdog Romania, with hat tricks by scrumhalf Cobus Reinach and wing Makazole Mapimpi among the Springboks’ 12 tries without reply in Bordeaux.The Springboks had the first four of their tries and a bonus point inside 12 minutes, and Reinach sniped from close-in for his third try in the 24th minute to just miss his own record for the fastest hat trick at the Rugby World Cup. He set that four years ago with three in 20 minutes against Canada.South Africa went over five times in the first half and seven times in the second to dismantle the underdog Romanians in a Pool B match that was one-sided from the start.Away from the convincing result, the defending champion also made big gains with a series of experiments. At least one of them might have a significant impact for the business end of the tournament, starting wi...

NEW YORK — Drew Barrymore, who drew criticism for taping new episodes of her daytime talk show despite the ongoing writers and actors strikes, now says she’ll wait until the labor issues are resolved.Hours later CBS’ “The Talk” did the same.“I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” Barrymore posted on Instagram on Sunday. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today.”Barrymore’s initial decision to return to the air Monday — without her three union writers and with picketers outside her studio — was met with pushback on social media.
