College football fans were treated to plenty of outstanding games in Week 7, highlighted by Oregon‘s thrilling 32-31 victory over Ohio State, which in return elevated Dillon Gabriel‘s Heisman stock.

While Gabriel saw his Heisman stock rise, Colorado’s Travis Hunter saw his stock take a hit after he exited the Buffaloes‘ 31-28 loss to Kansas State with an apparent shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Boise State‘s star running back, Ashton Jeanty, remains at the top of the Heisman leaderboard after putting together another jaw-dropping performance, this one coming against Hawaii.

Here is a look at the current Heisman Trophy odds following a jam-packed Week 7:

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State: +160

Another day, another dominant performance from Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. The Broncos’ star back carried the ball 31 times for a jaw-dropping 217 yards and a touchdown in Boise State’s 28-7 win over Hawaii. Jeanty has now topped the 200-yard rushing mark in three games this season, and he has totaled 1,248 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns in six games.

Next: Jeanty and the Broncos have a bye before traveling to UNLV to take on the Rebels on Oct. 25.

Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon: +400

Gabriel was sensational in Oregon’s memorable 32-31 win over Ohio State on Saturday. The lefty QB completed 23 of 34 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns through the air, while also adding 32 yards and a score on the ground in the win. Oregon should be favored in every remaining game on its schedule, and if the Ducks are able to run the table, Gabriel should continue to find himself near the top of this leaderboard.

Next: Gabriel and the Ducks travel to Purdue to take on the Boilermakers on Oct. 19.

Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns in the Ducks’ 32-31 win over Ohio State.

Cam Ward, QB, Miami (Fla.): +550

Ward and the Hurricanes had a bye this weekend after their thrilling comeback victory over Cal last week. Ward finished that game 35-of-53 for 437 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning TD pass to Elijah Arroyo with 26 seconds remaining. Ward also added a rushing score in that win as Miami improved to 6-0 for the first time since the 2007 season.

Next: Ward and the Hurricanes travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals on Oct. 19.

Miami QB Cam Ward threw for 437 yards and two touchdowns in Miami’s 39-38 comeback win over Cal.

Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado: +900

After finding himself near the top of the leaderboard following his memorable performance against UCF back on Sept. 28, Hunter’s Heisman hopes took a hit this weekend after he was knocked out of the game Saturday with an apparent shoulder injury. The Buffaloes’ two-way star caught three passes for 26 yards on offense and recorded a tackle on defense before exiting the game.

Next: Hunter and the Buffaloes travel to Arizona to take on the Wildcats on Oct. 19.

Travis Hunter caught three passes for 26 yards before exiting Colorado’s game against Kansas State with a shoulder injury.

Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama, +1000

Jalen Milroe and the Alabama Crimson Tide entered Saturday hoping to bounce back following an ugly 40-35 loss to unranked Vanderbilt last weekend. The Tide were able to squeak out a win against South Carolina, but it was far from pretty. Milroe was 16-of-23 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown and two rushing scores in a 27-25 win over the Gamecocks. He ran in a 7-yard touchdown with 10:42 remaining in the fourth quarter and then hit Germie Bernard for a late 34-yard score to help No. 7 Alabama survive the scare. With the victory, Milroe and the Tide improved to 5-1 on the year.

Next: Milroe and the Crimson Tide travel to Tennessee to take on the Volunteers on Oct. 19.

Jalen Milroe was on the move often in Alabama’s win over South Carolina, rushing for two touchdowns. 

Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson: +1200

As good as Milroe and Gabriel have been this year, you could make an argument that no quarterback has been better over the past month than Klubnik. Following an ugly Week 1 loss to Georgia, Klubnik has been on fire, shredding every defense in his way. The Tigers‘ junior signal-caller was fantastic again on Saturday, completing 31 of 41 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-14 win over Wake Forest. Klubnik has now thrown for 1,528 yards and 17 touchdowns in six games.

Next: Klubnik and the Tigers take on Virginia on Oct. 19.

Cade Klubnik led Clemson to another high-scoring win, throwing for three touchdowns in a 49-14 victory over Wake Forest. 

Carson Beck, QB, Georgia: +1500

Beck put up big numbers in the Bulldogs’ 41-31 win over Mississippi State, but this was a game that shouldn’t have been as close as the scoreboard reads. In addition to his 459 yards and three touchdowns through the air, Beck also threw a pair of costly picks, one of which came on Georgia’s first offensive possession of the contest. He did finish with 36 completions to 11 different players, including Arian Smith, who hauled in five catches for a game-high 134 yards and a touchdown.

Next: Beck and the Bulldogs travel to Texas to take on the Longhorns on Oct. 19.

Georgia QB Carson Beck threw for over 300 yards in the first half of its win over Mississippi State.

Liverpool defender Gemma Bonner says there is “no reason why we can’t aim” to challenge for a Women’s Champions League spot.

Matt Beard’s side finished fourth in the Women’s Super League table last season, one place below the European qualification spots.

They beat Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal during the campaign, their second back in the top tier following promotion.

They have five points from their opening three games this season but will face their biggest challenge yet on Sunday, at Anfield against league leaders Manchester City, fresh from a 2-0 win over European champions Barcelona.

“In the last few years we have shown we can compete with these teams. We have beaten Manchester City, we have beaten Chelsea, we have beaten Arsenal,” Bonner told BBC Sport.

“The key is the consistency. City are always up there in the Champions League places because they do everything consistently, whether that be in training or performing in the games.

“Of course the game is still growing but we can go to that next level with consistency. For so long, the top three has been set but now we’re waiting to break that.

“Everyone is pushing to get better. Why not aim for Champions League? I’d love nothing more than to get back there.

“We have shown we can do more than compete, we can beat these teams. But we have to do it every single week.”

Bonner says Liverpool “have to be realistic” about their ambitions but the potential they showed last season gives them plenty of optimism.

While other clubs around them – including Manchester United, Brighton and Aston Villa – spent significantly in the summer, Liverpool were fairly quiet.

They did, though, add club record signing Olivia Smith, who has impressed early on.

“We don’t go out and spend fortunes on players,” Bonner said. “But the strength we have is already there. We will grow together and that is what makes you successful.

“We are ambitious, we want to improve. We know we’re still young and have a lot of learning to do but if we can keep going and develop in the way we did last year, we can use those experiences.

“It will be tough because we’re maybe not the surprise package that we were last season and teams will be more prepared. That throws more challenges at us.

“We will let other teams recruit and we can focus on ourselves and keep growing.”

Watch Brandon Royval vs. Tatsuro Taira full fight video highlights from their main event showdown Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, courtesy of UFC.

The flyweight contender showdown headlined UFC Vegas 98 and the highly anticipated matchup between Royval, a recent title challenger, and the undefeated Taira lived up to the hype and then some. For five rounds, Royval and Taira battled each other tooth-and-claw on the feet and on the ground, with both threatening to finish the fight at any given moment.

Though the fighters were clearly reaching deep into their energy reserves by the final round, neither was willing to give an inch, and the outcome was in doubt until the final bell, when Royval was finally able to assert himself on the mat. Royval’s efforts were enough for him to eke out a split decision win.

Check out the best highlights from the Fight of the Year candidate below.

Both Junior Tafa and Sean Sharaf were utterly exhausted.

The lone heavyweight bout on the UFC Fight Night 244 card was a short-notice replacement bout, as the original opponent for Tafa (6-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC), Chris Barnett, had to pull out of the fight due to hurricane damage at home. Sharaf (4-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) stepped up for his debut on just a few days’ notice, but was stopped at 2:15 of Round 2.

Sharaf nearly found a stoppage himself at the end of Round 1. He mounted Tafa, poured on ground and pound until the horn, but referee Mark Smith didn’t see a need to stop the fight.

The fight continued into Round 2, where neither fighter had much energy. At one point, they both decided to just stand there and catch their breath while Smith called for them to fight. Tafa found home for a few strikes, putting Sharaf on wobbly legs, but struggled to finish the fight.

If this fight were in a video game, their stamina bars would have been completely depleted and blinking red. Somehow, Tafa found enough energy for a few more punches, and the referee mercifully stopped the fight, completing Tafa’s comeback win.

Tafa returns to the win column for the first time since Aug. 26, 2023, when he defeated Parker Porter. By handing Sharaf his first professional loss, Tafa ended a two-fight skid.
