Minnesota has dominated the ground game on offense, rushing 21 times for 84 yards (4 yards per carry), including a first-quarter rushing touchdown by running back Marcus Major. The Golden Gophers jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead early in the second quarter before the Nittany Lions came back and tied it.

The Gophers also made a huge play on special teams, as Derik LeCaptain blocked a punt in the end zone at the end of the half that was downed at the 21-yard line. THE PUNT IS BLOCKED!

SOME MINNESOTA MAGIC! pic.twitter.com/awgGlRhdRS The Nittany Lions caught a big break towards the end of the half after Minnesota scored, as Allar threw a deep pass to Harrison Wallace II that appeared to be an uncatchable ball and a defensive pass interference call was made against the Gophers. The penalty helped the Nittany Lions move the ball into Minnesota's territory and ultimately scored via an Allar four-yard touchdown run. However, the Gophers came through with another block, this time on the extra point, and returned it all the way back for two points to give them a 19-16 lead before the half. TWO POINTS THE OTHER WAY!! pic.twitter.com/eZKC0VdZOx Allar has played well so far, completing 14-for-18 passes for 159 yards. Minnesota has done well in converting on third down, as they're 3-for-7 through one half. P.J. Fleck's team is also 1-for-1 on fourth down conversions. In comparison, Penn State is only 1-for-6 on third down and 0-for-1 on fourth down. The Gophers are making big plays in all three areas (offense, defense and special teams), something Fleck said was crucial to have a shot in knocking off the Nittany Lions. The Gophers have also won the time of possession through two quarters, 17:39 to 12:21. Matt Krohn-Imagn Images

The Gator Bowl president kept a watchful eye on College Football Playoff scenarios all season and understood the fallout might affect his postseason matchup in Jacksonville. What if the Southeastern Conference got five teams into the expanded CFP? What if the Atlantic Coast Conference landed three spots? It was a math problem that was impossible to truly answer, even into late November. Four first-round playoff games, which will end with four good teams going home without a bowl game, had the potential to shake up the system. The good news for McGarity and other bowl organizers: Adding quality teams to power leagues — Oregon to the Big Ten, Texas to the SEC and SMU to the ACC — managed to ease much of the handwringing. McGarity and the Gator Bowl ended up with their highest-ranked team, No. 16 Ole Miss, in nearly two decades. "It really didn't lessen our pool much at all," McGarity said. "The SEC bowl pool strengthened with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma. You knew they were going to push traditional SEC teams up or down. Texas ended up pushing just about everyone down." The long waiting game was the latest twist for non-CFP bowls that have become adept at dealing with change. Efforts to match the top teams came and went in the 1990s and first decade of this century before the CFP became the first actual tournament in major college football. It was a four-team invitational — until this year, when the 12-team expanded format meant that four quality teams would not be in the mix for bowl games after they lose next week in the first round. "There's been a lot of things that we've kind of had to roll with," said Scott Ramsey, president of the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. "I don't think the extra games changed our selection model to much degree. We used to look at the New York's Six before this, and that was 12 teams out of the bowl mix. The 12-team playoff is pretty much the same." Ramsey ended up with No. 23 Missouri against Iowa in his Dec. 30 bowl. A lot of so-called lesser bowl games do have high-profile teams — the ReliaQuest Bowl has No. 11 Alabama vs. Michigan (a rematch of last year's CFP semifinal), Texas A&M and USC will play in the Las Vegas Bowl while No. 14 South Carolina and No. 15 Miami, two CFP bubble teams, ended up in separate bowls in Orlando. "The stress of it is just the fact that the CFP takes that opening weekend," Las Vegas Bowl executive director John Saccenti said. "It kind of condenses the calendar a little bit." Bowl season opens Saturday with the Cricket Celebration Bowl. The first round of the CFP runs Dec. 20-21. It remains to be seen whether non-CFP bowls will see an impact from the new dynamic. They will know more by 2026, with a planned bowl reset looming. It could include CFP expansion from 12 to 14 teams and significant tweaks to the bowl system. More on-campus matchups? More diversity among cities selected to host semifinal and championship games? And would there be a trickle-down effect for everyone else? Demand for non-playoff bowls remains high, according to ESPN, despite increased focus on the expanded CFP and more players choosing to skip season finales to either enter the NCAA transfer portal or begin preparations for the NFL draft. "There's a natural appetite around the holidays for football and bowl games," Kurt Dargis, ESPN's senior director of programming and acquisitions, said at Sports Business Journal's Intercollegiate Athletics Forum last week in Las Vegas. "People still want to watch bowl games, regardless of what's going on with the playoff. ... It's obviously an unknown now with the expanded playoff, but we really feel like it's going to continue." The current bowl format runs through 2025. What lies ahead is anyone's guess. Could sponsors start paying athletes to play in bowl games? Could schools include hefty name, image and likeness incentives for players participating in bowls? Would conferences be willing to dump bowl tie-ins to provide a wider range of potential matchups? Are bowls ready to lean into more edginess like Pop-Tarts has done with its edible mascot? The path forward will be determined primarily by revenue, title sponsors, TV demand and ticket sales. "The one thing I have learned is we're going to serve our partners," Saccenti said. "We're going to be a part of the system that's there, and we're going to try to remain flexible and make sure that we're adjusting to what's going on in the world of postseason college football."

Title: What Happened in Syria Last Night: Israeli Airstrikes Spark Shift in DynamicsNEW YORK (AP) — Having waited 63 years for an Ivy League football title, Columbia had to stand by for another 40 minutes. The Lions had beaten Cornell 17-9 but needed a Harvard loss against Yale to secure a share of first place on the season's final day. So Columbia players retreated to their locker room on a hill a few hundred feet from Wien Stadium to watch the game in Boston on TV as a few hundred fans remained and gazed at the gold-and-orange foliage of Inwood Hill Park glowing in Saturday's afternoon sun. When Yale recovered onside kick with seconds left to ensure a 34-29 Harvard defeat, players let out a scream and streamed back onto the field to celebrate, smoke cigars, lift a trophy and sing “Roar, Lion, Roar” with family and friends. Who would have thunk it? “You had the realization of, oh, I’m a champion, which is something that hasn’t been said here in a while,” co-captain CJ Brown said. Harvard dropped into a tie with Columbia and Dartmouth at 5-2, the first time three teams shared the title since 1982 — the conference doesn't use tiebreakers. “It was nerve-wracking, for sure, but definitely exciting because that's something that not a lot of people have experienced, especially here," running back Joey Giorgi said. There have been several top players at Columbia — Sid Luckman, Marty Domres, Marcellus Wiley among them — but the school is perhaps better known for owners such as the New England Patriots' Robert Kraft and former Cleveland Browns head Al Lerner. Columbia's only previous championship in 1961 also was shared with Harvard. That Lions team was coached by Buff Donelli, a former Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Rams coach who scored for the Americans in soccer's 1934 World Cup. Columbia set a then Division I-AA record with 44 consecutive losses from 1983-88, a mark broken by Prairie View’s 80 in a row from 1989-98. Since 1971, the Lions’ only seasons with winning records until now were 1994, 1996, 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022. Al Bagnoli, who won nine Ivy titles in 23 years at Penn, couldn't manage one at Columbia from 2015-22. He quit six weeks before the 2023 opener, citing health, and was replaced on an interim basis by Mark Fabish, his offensive coordinator. Jon Poppe, now 39, was hired last December after working as a Bagnoli assistant at Columbia from 2015-17 between stints at Harvard from 2011-14 and 2017-22, plus one season as a head coach at Division III Union College. He led the Lions to a 7-3 record overall, their most wins in a coach's first season since George F. Sanford's team went 9-3 in 1899. Poppe had wife Anna and 7-year-old daughter with him in the locker room watching the countdown to the title. “Sixty-three years of whatever into now,” he said. “Just seeing a lot of that history myself, personally. This is a hugely — a feeling of elation, seeing my dad on the field, a lot of emotional things with that.” Before a crowd of 4,224, quarterback Caleb Sanchez's 1-yard touchdown run put Columbia ahead in the second quarter. Giorgi's 1-yard TD run opened a 14-3 lead in the third and Hugo Merry added a 25-yard field goal in the fourth, overcoming three field goals by Alan Zhao. Giorgi rushed for 165 yards and finished his career with 2,112, second in school history. He and Brown missed what would have been their freshman season in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Given Columbia's athletic history — the most successful sport is fencing — it is not an obvious football destination. “I saw the dedication, whether it resulted in wins or losses,” Brown said. “I saw their dedication to the product that they put out on the field and also the athletic department, the facilities that we had here, the busses on schedule and stuff, I was like, OK, they care about their athletes. People here want to win and it doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past, it matters what we’re going to do now.” Poppe cited a mindset. “You get 10 opportunities, unlike other sports, it is a grind to play this sport and prepare the way we do just for 10,” he said. As the final whistle sounded in Boston, Brown noted an unusual initial reaction in the locker room. “It was like kind of awe when they recovered the kick,” he said. “It was a lot quieter than you would think it would be, but you could feel the joy and the elation.” They accomplished what more than six decades of their predecessors had failed to. As the players headed out, Poppe had a final word. “Day off tomorrow,” he said. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

New York Police Department officials found a stash of Monopoly money in a backpack believed to have been dumped by the killer of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson . The discovery was made hours after the NYPD released two new images of the suspected gunman in the fatal shooting of the executive who was gunned down in Manhattan on Wednesday. The alleged killer was seen on camera in the back of the New York City taxi and later exiting the vehicle the morning Thompson was executed . Chilling map shows which US cities would be destroyed in nuclear strike Dad makes friend dig own grave and kill himself after raping his daughter, six Police officials have called the shooting "targeted" in nature since the CEO was receiving death threats, according to his estranged wife Paulette, over "lack of coverage." However, almost five days after his shooting, no ulterior motive has yet been established. Detectives found a backpack in Central Park on Friday that allegedly belonged to the masked gunman that they took for forensic analysis. It was reportedly found near a merry-go-round in the park. On further inspection, officials have found a stash of Monopoly money inside. This seems to be yet another clue in this elusive killer's arsenal, besides the bullets used to kill the UnitedHealthcare CEO that came with cryptic scrawls resembling the title of a book that criticizes insurance companies and their tactics to deny claims. The shell casings retrieved at the scene of the shooting reportedly have the words 'depose', 'deny' and 'defend' inscribed on them. These words have an uncanny similarity to the title of a 2010 Jay M. Feinman book, "Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims And What You Can Do About It."

Today the name of the game is delay, deny, defend: to improve their profits, insurance companies delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend their actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation," the book's website reads. The shooting has been extremely divisive in American society exposing the deep-rooted anguish and frustration toward the healthcare system. Netizens have flooded social media with their own horror stories dealing with insurance companies, particularly UnitedHealthcare. The Monopoly money may be a cryptic nod toward UnitedHealthcare taking up a massive portion of the health insurance industry. With a revenue of over $370 billion in 2023, UnitedHealthcare is making moves to acquire large chunks of the insurance industry. In Feb. 2022, the DOJ moved to block them from acquiring healthcare tech company Change Healthcare Inc. as the $13 billion transaction would give them an "unfair advantage and harm competition in health insurance markets," the DoJ said in a press release. "The proposed transaction also would eliminate United's only major rival for first-pass claims editing technology — a critical product used to efficiently process health insurance claims and save health insurers billions of dollars each year — and give United a monopoly share in the market," they said. In November, the DoJ filed another civil antitrust lawsuit to block their parent company, UnitedHealth Group from acquiring a rival provider Amedisys Inc. "We are challenging this merger because home health and hospice patients and their families experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives deserve affordable, high-quality care options," said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in a November 12 press release. "The Justice Department will not hesitate to check unlawful consolidation and monopolization in the healthcare market that threatens to harm vulnerable patients, their families, and healthcare workers," the statement added. Thompson, 50, has been the CEO of UnitedHealthcare since 2021. He was on his way to an investor conference on Wednesday morning when he was fatally shot by a masked gunman outside the New York Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
