Here’s what to know about the new funding deal that countries agreed to at UN climate talksNEW YORK (AP) — Dylan Raiola passed for 228 yards and a touchdown as Nebraska built an 18-point lead through three quarters and hung on to beat Boston College 20-15 Saturday for its first bowl victory since 2015. After Nebraska built a 13-2 lead in the first half on scoring runs by Rahmir Johnson and Kwinten Ives, Raiola hit Emmett Johnson with a 13-yard TD pass on fourth down with 3:02 remaining in the third quarter for a 20-2 edge and the Cornhuskers (7-6) held on for the win. Raiola completed 23 of 31 passes in front of a sizable Nebraska crowd that celebrated the team’s first bowl win since topping UCLA in the 2015 Foster Farms Bowl and first winning season since 2016. Raiola completed passes to 10 receivers, including Jahmal Banks, who finished with four receptions for 79 yards. Rahmir Johnson and Ives scored on short TD runs in the second period, and Nebraska’s defense set up the critical score in the third. Emmett Johnson scored on fourth-and-3 play for a 20-2 lead. That score came after John Bullock sacked Boston College quarterback Grayson James, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Elijah Jeudy at midfield. James finished 25 of 40 for 296 yards as Boston College (7-6) fell to 0-3 in Pinstripe Bowl games. The Eagles got past midfield on five of their first seven drives, but committed two turnovers and failed to convert four fourth downs, including two inside the 10-yard line. Boston College finally cashed with 6:11 left in the fourth when Turbo Richard scored on a 1-yard run, but the two-point conversion failed. BC made it a one-score game on Jordan McDonald’s 2-yard run, a play after getting possession on a blocked punt. After a scoreless opening quarter, Rahmir Johnson easily scored on a 4-yard run on the first play of the second period. After BC turned it over on downs twice in Nebraska territory, the Cornhusker’s took a 13-0 lead on Ives’ 2-yard run that was set up by Rahmir Johnson’s 22-yard run. The Eagles picked up their only points of the first half when Ashton McShane blocked John Hohl’s extra point and returned it for two points.
A Look Back From 2024: Answering Your Biggest AGI QuestionsGrowth will be back on track by March: Piyush GoyalWashington could use some good vibes as the Huskies wrap up nonconference play by hosting the New Jersey Institute of Technology on Sunday in Seattle. The Huskies (8-4) are coming off a 79-70 defeat to Seattle University, their first to their city rivals in 20 meetings since 1978. "Nobody cares," Washington coach Danny Sprinkle said when asked about the historical significance of the loss. "Obviously, Seattle U didn't care about it, either. They came in and competed. The basketball gods gave them what they deserved. ... They kicked our butt in almost every category from shooting to energy to physicality and getting to the free-throw line. "I'm shocked the game was this close. I really am." The Huskies had averaged 88 points and shot 55 percent from the field in their two most-recent wins, against in-state rivals Washington State and Eastern Washington. But they struggled against the Redhawks, shooting 24 of 57 from the field (42.1 percent) and 6 of 24 from 3-point range (25 percent). Tyler Harris led the Huskies with 20 points and Great Osobor added 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists. But Washington got just seven points on 3-for-18 shooting from starters Mekhi Mason and DJ Davis, who combined to shoot 1 for 14 beyond the arc. Starter Tyree Ihenacho didn't attempt a field goal and finished with zero points. "For whatever reason, we weren't ready to play with the aggressiveness and the desperation that we have to play with," Sprinkle said. "We're not good enough to come out like we did and play the way we did. "We don't shoot the ball well enough. We're not good enough at the free-throw line and we're not good enough defensively to not do the little things and scrap and fight like we did against Washington State." NJIT (2-11) will be playing for the first time since Dec. 14, a 50-43 loss at home in Newark to Wagner. "Finals, 15 days off and then a trip to Washington," Highlanders coach Grant Billmeier said. The Highlanders have one of the youngest rosters in the nation -- 12 of 14 players are either freshmen or sophomores. They're led by second-year guard Tariq Francis, who is averaging 18.6 points and 3.7 assists per game. Sebastian Robinson (11.8 points per game), a sophomore guard, and forward Tim Moore Jr. (10.2) also are averaging in double-figure scoring. Moore, one of two graduate students on the roster, is pulling down a team-best 6.1 rebounds per game. --Field Level Media

Government to block incinerators that do not contribute to green plansURC: Connacht 7 Ulster 17 Skipper Nick Timoney led from the front as Ulster ended a five-match losing run to oust a disappointing Connacht side in their own backyard at Dexcom Stadium in Galway. Timoney scored a try in a man-of-the-match display as Connacht fell to a third successive URC loss where they have not managed to pick up a single point, even with two of them at home. “I’m just so proud of this team. Our backs were really against the wall,” said Timoney. “We had lost a few in a row but looking back on those games there was nothing we couldn’t fix. We knew the results would come if we got a few things right, and we did that.” Ulster led 10-7 at the break, having started the game superbly and dominated the opening quarter when Connacht just could not get their hands on the ball on a perfect night for rugby in Galway. Connacht struggled with Ulster’s early blitz and when out-half Jack Murphy, in his first start, executed a brilliant 50:22 after a knock-on by Bundee Aki after two minutes, the visitors penned Pete Wilkins' side deep inside their own half. The pressure eventually told after a series of set-pieces inside the Connacht 22 and loosehead Eric O’Sullivan, with a penalty advantage, made it over the line near the left post. Nathan Doak converted to lead 7-0 after 12 minutes. Ulster pushed on from there with No.8 academy player James McNabney leading the way and Doak extended their lead with a penalty in front of the posts after 14 minutes. But with Connacht getting an edge in the scrum where Finlay Bealham got the upperhand on O’Sullivan, they started to build the phases after having just 37% possession in the opening quarter. The Ulster defence was good despite their troubles in the scrum but they were carved open six minutes from the break with a sublime chip from Jack Carty was fumbled by Ulster full-back Mike Lowry and the ball bounced kindly for Mack Hansen who collected and raced in to score under the posts. Carty converted to cut the gap to 10-7. Ulster brought in Andrew Warwick for O’Sullivan at the start of the second-half and were forced to make another change when winger Werner Kok had to go off and was replaced by Wilhelm de Klerk. Bealham and Connacht won another penalty in the first scrum of the second-half after 50 minutes to clear their lines but Ulster’s defence was organised, pilfering the lineout through Cormac Izuchukwu before countering from deep and when Sean Jansen, just on the field, was pinged for offside Ulster had no hesitation in going for the right corner. And they were rewarded after McNabney took the lineout, with the superb Nick Timoney spinning away and somehow managing to ground the ball. Doak added the difficult conversion from the right to lead 17-7 after 56 minutes. Connacht changed their half-backs with Ben Murphy coming on to play against his brother Jack — with dad Richie in the Ulster coaching box — while Cathal Forde moved to out-half after Jack Carty was replaced by Shane Jennings. Connacht, with Jansen carrying well, pushed forward in a bid to save the game but their error count remained high, squandering a penalty to the left corner with a knock-on after taking the lineout, while another promising lineout in the right corner was again turned over. And then after opting for the corner with a penalty on the 22, Forde kicked the ball dead as he went for maximum ground just over ten minutes from the end. A chip from Hansen saw him almost get in for a second try and when Dave McCann was forced to carry back over his own line, Connacht were presented with a five-metre scrum in front of the posts six minutes from time. But the new Ulster front row got the shove and forced a penalty to clear their lines and they held on from there to secure a badly needed win. Scorers for Connacht: Try: M Hansen. Con: J Carty.
