“You deal with it, you get up and play tomorrow,” he said. “The good thing about no-hitters, it’s only one loss. I know it’s been three times, but you deal with it … you understand the level of competition you’re playing against and you move on. I don’t have an answer for that.”
Coan, who threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns in Notre Dame’s season-opening 41-38 overtime victory at Florida State on Sunday, shared playing time with true freshman Tyler Buchner. But Coan directed the three-play, 75-yard scoring drive, which took just 26 seconds with the aid of two Toledo penalties.
Lombardi fired a 14-yard strike to Trayvon Rudolph, and freshman Harrison Waylee, who had 179 rushing yards, tore off scoring runs of 75 and 14 yards to come within 42-36 early in the fourth. Clint Ratkovich scored his third touchdown to give Northern Illinois the lead.
Fernandez, whose own Cinderella story captivated the Open, was overwhelmed by Raducanu’s power and angles. Still, it felt like Fernandez had a chance until the very end of the two-hour match, if only because she overcame similar adversity and deficits in earlier rounds. There was also some drama in the final game, when Raducanu took a medical timeout to bandage a nasty cut on her leg sustained while sliding on the hardcourt for a shot attempt.
The Buckeyes had a chance to tie it late after pulling within a touchdown with 7 minutes, 55 seconds left. But when they got the ball again, Stroud, who passed for 472 yards and three touchdowns, took his first sack of the day and then was intercepted by Verone McKinley III on a desperation sideline pass on third-and-18 at the Oregon 35 with 2:50 to go in front of a stunned crowd of more than 100,000.
“When you look at where you’re at as a Big Ten team playing against a FCS team, you have to pound the ball,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “For the most part, when we targeted things right and executed I thought we did a good job.”
“His time is up from a quarantine perspective, so this will be the last time you guys have to talk to me,” Green said. “I told him I was going to go on a little two-day vacation, take it to the house and see you guys in Philly. I don’t know if he’s going to approve of that, but he’s back in charge (Sunday) so I needed to get permission.”
Wicks finished with a pair of touchdown catches for Virginia (2-0). Woods, a 6-foot-7 transfer from Oklahoma State, became the first Virginia tight end to have 100 receiving yards in a game since Heath Miller had 110 against Florida State in 2004. Woods’ 122 yards were the most since Miller’s 145 against Virginia Tech in 2003.
“If you look in the third-and-3, 4, 5, 6 areas, where you would say, ‘Hey, this isn’t the hardest for the offense,’ those were some of the areas where we were ranked lower. So you would say what theoretically should be easier and we didn’t excel in those areas. We could spend hours on it.”
“I thought going out to L.A. forced him to develop a deeper toolbox of counter moves, which is something he just never accomplished with the Bears for whatever reason. In my opinion, Donald is even better for Floyd to play alongside than Khalil Mack because A.D. is going to impact the interior protection schemes. A lot of times you’re going to have a man side and a zone side for protection and in most cases, they’re going to put the zone side to Donald to give the guard help. Now you have the man side sliding to Leonard and what that means is he’s going to get a one-on-one. If you can find those matchups for him, and that is what Staley did, you have him in the edge with a favorable matchup. Now, he has to go win against a tackle in a true one-on-one.
