The Tigers became the first team to defeat the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, since Ole Miss won at Bryant-Denny Stadium in September 2015. LSU also became the only program in history to defeat Alabama at home twice since Nick Saban took charge of the Crimson Tide in 2007. The Tigers had won 9-6 in triple overtime in the “Game of the Century” in 2007 and repeated the feat in the remake on Saturday....

No. 17 Miami travels to No. 18 Louisville in the ABC prime-time game of the week, a big ACC prove-it game for both teams. The Cardinals do not play Clemson in the regular season, and this is a chance for them to get a leg up in the race for the ACC championship game. A total of 10 teams ranked in the AP Top 25 will be in action Saturday....

MORE: Preseason Top 25 | Best college football states ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit told CBS Sports radio host Doug Gottlieb on Friday that ESPN’s college football pregame show will be at Lambeau Field on Sept. 3 for the season opener between LSU and Wisconsin. ESPN had plenty of options with the Week 1 schedule full of marquee matchups: Alabama and USC at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Florida State and Ole Miss in Orlando, Fla....

And when Bulldog fans recount how it happened, the story will start with starting pitcher Will Bednar. Pitching on just three days’ rest, Bednar held the Vanderbilt lineup hitless through six innings, outpitching Commodore star Kumar Rocker, who had never lost a College World Series game. The lineup steadily piled on throughout the game, with two home runs in the seventh inning helping to seal a rout of the reigning national champions and deliver the baseball crown to Mississippi State in a 9-0 win in Game 3 of the finals on Wednesday....

Cologuard is not a replacement for colonoscopy—the preferred method of screening—but may be appropriate for people who might otherwise avoid colon cancer screening. Cologuard is also less costly than a colonoscopy and may be fully covered by insurance. Despite its convenience and ease of use, Cologuard may not detect early-stage precancerous growths. Because of this, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its use for adults 45 and over who are at average risk of colon cancer....

The 25-year-old left the Somer Clinic in Rionegro, near Medellin, in a wheelchair and wearing a protective neck brace on Friday, reports Xinhua. “Good afternoon. I’m ready to go back to Bolivia,” Tumiri told reporters. “Before leaving I want to thank everybody in Colombia: the emergency crews, the police … everybody who helped me. I thank you with all of my heart. I will never doubt the Colombian people, who are now like my family....

Today Comuna 13 feels like a completely different neighborhood. Its streets are relatively safe. School construction and public-transportation projects are now underway. But it is only the most dramatic example of the remarkable transformation of Medell?n, a city that struggled for decades to shed a notoriety, well earned in the days of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín drug cartel, as “the most dangerous in the world.” In 1991, the annual murder rate was 381 per 100,000 people—more than 500 homicides a month....

The Boca Juniors defender underwent examinations on Saturday after sustaining an injury to his left knee at Colombia’s training camp in Italy. ACL damage was confirmed by the Colombian Football Federation (FCF), who are yet to name a replacement for Fabra in their 23-man squad. “The Colombian team reports with regret that Frank Fabra suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee,” an FCF statement read....

Chapecoense had been en route to Medellin to play Atletico Nacional when the team’s plane went down on Monday night. “Atletico Nacional asks CONMEBOL that the Sudamericana Cup title be awarded to the Chapecoense Football Association as a laurel in honour of its great loss and a posthumous homage to the victims of the fatal accident that has left our sport in mourning,” read a statement on the club’s website....

Mark Baisley, who represents the 39th district in the Colorado House of Representatives, wrote to his constituents that they had a “constitutionally guaranteed right” to meet their families over Thanksgiving, effectively urging them to ignore COVID warnings, including from President-elect Joe Biden’s team. “It is important for Americans to realize that, in spite of their good intentions, neither a governor, a president-elect nor I as your state representative have the constitutional authority to restrict the number of family members who gather in your home,” he wrote....

Jalisha Maxey-Deveraux was getting ready to leave CarHop Auto Sales and Finance in Lakewood to head to a baby shower when she started having contractions in the bathroom. Maxey-Deveraux told KDVR she “felt like it was a movie.” She called her husband to tell him she thought she was having “real” contractions rather than the Braxton Hicks. Braxton Hicks are known as false contractions, and occur when the womb contracts and relaxes as the body prepares for actual labor....

Meg Irsay filed a divorce petition in Hamilton County Superior Court in Noblesville on Thursday citing an "irretrievable breakdown" of the marriage. She is asking the court to divide their marital estate. A joint statement issued by the couple said Jim Irsay will retain full ownership of the Colts and his other business interests. The couple married Aug. 2, 1980. They have been separated for a decade. Jim Irsay has owned the Colts since 1997 following the death of his father, Robert Irsay....

Then, Indianapolis face planted. Carson Wentz faltered in the final two games of the season, failing to get past the 200-yard threshold. And following an embarrassing defeat to the lowly Jaguars in their final game of the regular season, Indianapolis was eliminated from playoff contention. Now, there’s a new quarterback under center: former NFL MVP Matt Ryan. The weapons are there on both sides of the ball — in Taylor and linebacker Darius Leonard, the Colts possess two genuine All-Pro threats....

Indianapolis has allowed the eighth-most yards per game in the league, and the third-most points. Clearly the defense could use some work, and general manager Ryan Grigson is well aware. Speaking on the Jay Mohr show Thursday, Grigson said Andrew Luck’s six-year, $140 million contract has prevented the team from spending money elsewhere. “We have a defense that is a work in progress,” Grigson said. “And when you have to tighten up, once you have to pay Andrew what we did, it’s going to take some time to build on the other side of the ball....

That’s as viewers familiar with one of America’s favorite mockumentaries watching a recent Sunday marathon on Comedy Central noticed that the show’s “Diversity Day” episode was omitted from the rotation. Ironically, the politically incorrect episode satirizes contemporary corporate “diversity and inclusion” policies. It features the impetuous and chronic jester Michael Scott (Steve Carell) forcing his paper company employees to participate in a racial diversity seminar when, in fact, it’s his behavior that necessitates the training....

“Maintaining clean sheets will be of paramount importance in order to stay alive in the race of the World Cup Qualifiers. We will need to be sharper in the absence of Sandesh-bhai (Jhingan),” fullback Subhasish Bose maintained. “The team is upbeat. We will leave no stone unturned to make the most out of the remaining games. We were able to do the same against Qatar. If we play to our true potential, there’s no reason not to repeat it against Afghanistan and Oman again,” he added....
