Florida State Seminoles quarterback Ashton Daniels (14) calls a play before the snap. The Florida State Seminoles lead the New Mexico State Aggies 17-7 at the half on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026.
Ashton Daniels threw for 202 yards and a touchdown Saturday night while Ousmane Kromah added 115 rushing yards and a TD as Florida State opened its season with a 34-17 win over visiting New Mexico State in Tallahassee.
Daniels, an Auburn transfer, completed 17 of 27 passes with an interception for the Seminoles. They were favored by 31 1/2 points and never trailed but didn’t put the Aggies away until Kromah scored on a 1-yard run with 4:01 left in the game for a three-score lead.
Florida State earned a 419-319 advantage in total yardage.
Trey Hedden hit 26 of 42 passes for 272 yards and two scores for New Mexico State, leaning heavily on TK King and Brodie Malone-Bradford. King caught seven passes for 78 yards and one TD, while Malone-Bradford added six receptions for 96 yards and a score.

The Seminoles initiated scoring at the 3:05 mark of the first quarter on Gabe Panikowski’s 43-yard field goal. Daniels made it 10-0 just 45 seconds into the second quarter, capping a seven-play, 60-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.
Hedden got the Aggies on the board with 10:49 left in the half, connecting with Malone-Bradford on a 33-yard scoring strike. Daniels took Florida State on a 58-yard drive late in the half, completing it by finding Samuel Singleton Jr. for a 4-yard touchdown pass to make it 17-7 at the break.
Ilya Uvaydov converted a 38-yard field goal with 7:36 left in the third quarter, pulling New Mexico State within 17-10. However, the Seminoles answered with a 51-yard touchdown drive that Singleton finished with a 2-yard run at the 2:09 mark.
Panikowski tacked on a 41-yard field goal with 10:41 remaining in the game for a three-score lead before Hedden and King hooked up for a 34-yard scoring strike with 7:42 on the clock that got the Aggies within 27-17.

New Mexico State couldn’t mount much of a rushing attack, managing just 47 yards on 23 carries. The Aggies also committed eight penalties for 68 yards, to seven for 65 for the Seminoles.
The other day, Holly Finchem revealed to the golf-loving world, via Global Golf Post, that her husband, Tim Finchem, has Alzheimer’s. In his 22 years as PGA Tour commissioner — the Tiger Years, essentially — Finchem was always of sound mind and body. He was always trim and fit man. But the former—his strategic and lawyerly brain — was his bread and butter, and now a disease with no known cure has settled in it.
Holly Finchem’s forthright and powerful commentary brought to mind the last time husband and wife, married for nearly 40 years, were at the center of golf’s spotlight, on a Wednesday night in March of 2022, on the eve of the Players Championship, when Finchem was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Tiger Woods was the headliner that evening — he was inducted that night, too. Finchem and Woods sat next to one another for most of the night, in the first row of a space-age auditorium of the Tour’s new headquarters, its “Global Home,” per the Tour’s own branding. Finchem wrapped up his remarks by publicly thanking Holly “for agreeing to marry me.” It was both lawyerly and moving. It was a beautiful thing to say. Beautiful and easy.
David Feherty was the night’s MC and in his opening remarks he welcomed the ceremony’s guests into a room so spacious it was “almost big enough to contain the egos of Brooks and Bryson.” Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka were PGA Tour stars then — they went LIV later. David Feherty became a LIV broadcaster later, too. Phil Mickelson, a 2012 inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame, was not there that night. He was sort of underground then. But he was in the air. Alan Shipnuck had already broken the story that Mickelson was going to join LIV Golf, and Mickelson already was persona non grata in Establishment golf circles. If you listened carefully that night, you knew that Mickelson would not be playing at the 2022 Masters, coming up in a month. DeChambeau did not play in the Players that year, out due to a hip injury. He paid tribute to Woods botahy way of Twitter, when Twitter was still Twitter: “I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for the game of golf.”

Woods was wearing a sort of rubber-soled sneaker that night. He was recovering from the injuries he had sustained 13 months earlier, when he ran his car off a Los Angeles road. Erica Herman sat to Woods’s right. Finchem, on Tiger’s other side, was wearing black dress shoes for the event, per sartorial custom. Everybody knows you don’t wear brown shoes to an evening event. There was always something proper about Finchem, something very by-the-book. His successor, Jay Monahan, was different, more casual, more of a (quote/unquote) people person. Monahan could always connect with the club caddies on his bag at this golf casual game or that pro-am. Finchem wasn’t built for that.
This all sort of seems like ancient history, doesn’t it? A year or so into the Brian Rolapp radical-change era, this all sort of seems like ancient history.
The most memorable aspect of that induction night from four-plus years ago, at least from my second-level perch, was seeing and hearing Tiger’s daughter, Sam Woods, introduce her father. She was 14 then, poised, charming, funny and you could sense her intelligence. It was easy imagine her on a path to an elite university. She’s now at Stanford, where her father went for two years. The two best years of his life, he has said more than once.
Tiger’s remarks from that induction night linger, too. He spoke movingly, without notes, from deep within his own life experience. For almost 15 minutes he spoke about himself as a six-year-old beginning golfer, as a junior golfer, as an amateur golfer. He never got out of California, in a manner of speaking.

In DeChambeau’s early years on Tour, in 2017 and ’18 and ’19, it was amusing and interesting to watch him on the range in the vicinity of Woods. Not often but now and again you’d see the two of them together and it was Woods who did most of the listening. They taped a Bridgestone ad together where DeChambeau played the mad professor and Woods the bored student. Tiger nailed take after take and Bryson did not. “You’re overthinking it, bro,” Woods told him. If DeChambeau was nervous, it would be easy to understand why. He is a child of California, too. He was six and the son of a golf professional when Woods won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by 15 shots.
When Woods was a kid in Southern California, and years later when DeChambeau was a kid in Northern California, their paths forward were both challenging and simple. To go the places they wanted to go, all they had to do was get better at golf. Get better, get better, get better. Mike Cowan, a.k.a. Fluff, who caddied for Woods early in his pro career, once told me that what made Woods a dominant golfer wasn’t anything earth-shattering. He was just a “little better” at everything — irons, putting, chipping, pitching, distance control, driving distance, thinking. He was often wild with the driver. That was his bugaboo.
When DeChambeau came along, Woods was fascinated that a player could be that long and that straight. In real life, Woods wasn’t a bored student at all. DeChambeau’s emergence as an elite Tour player, after an accomplished amateur career that included winning the U.S. Amateur in 2015 and being the low amateur at the 2016 Masters, was a sort of gift to Woods. Woods won three U.S. Amateurs. He had been the low amateur at the Masters. There was something there, a kind of connection from two people who don’t make connections easily. Bryson’s golfing ambitions and strengths reached Tiger where he lived. To call Woods a golf nerd is crude. He was a student of golf, just as DeChambeau is.
For both men, the only paths they have ever really known — better living through better golf — now have enormous detour signs on them, or are blocked off entirely. Woods aged out of the whole process. When he was young and undeniably great, he liked to say if you’re not getting better you’re getting worse. Then came middle age and injuries and car crashes and surgeries and injuries and more middle age — you know the cycle. DeChambeau was on a driving range at the season-ending LIV event in Indiana last week, surrounded by his posse and acting kind of odd, though not for Bryson. It was Bryson being Bryson — you could say that, too. Middle age is coming for him, too, but for now he has other things on his mind.

DeChambeau is only 32 but not a young 32. You can of course get better at 32. But now, for the first time in his life, improvement alone cannot take him to the places he wants to be. A tournament golfer — a person whose life is defined by tournament results — needs tournaments in which to play. Four is a good start — DeChambeau is in all four majors for 2027—but not nearly enough. This year he missed the cut in the Masters, the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open and had T14 finish in his strange British Open appearance. There’s no such thing as an elite touring pro without a home tour. At least, there hasn’t been. Where will DeChambeau play in 2027 — and in 2028 and beyond? Playing golf on YouTube is a new form of exhibition golf. That’s all it is.
Woods turned 50 at the end of the last year. I was semi-excited (is that a thing?) to see what he might do in the three senior majors, the senior PGA Championship, the senior U.S. Open, the senior British Open. He didn’t play a single round of tournament golf this year. His past cannot be his future. That’s true for Tiger as it is true for everybody. But how will he find meaning in his life, from here on out?
Tiger Woods’s past cannot be his future. That’s true for him as it is true for everybody.
The most immediate and pressing thing in his life, from the little we can know of it, is a court date stemming from his March 27 DUI charge. It’s set for Sept. 8 but these things can be postponed. In his earlier life, there was no such thing as postponement. The first round of the Masters is always the second Thursday in April. If you’re playing in it, you’re there. Woods has played in the Masters 26 times but dd not play in it this year or last. He’s never missed the cut at Augusta, not as a pro. (He missed one cut in two appearances as an amateur.) Tiger Woods has always known how to put on a game face, a public face — a mask he takes off a shelf marked Proud Warrior Athlete and puts over whatever else might be going on just then.
Woods has had two public, or semi-public, outings over the past half-year. That’s it, and that’s not counting his March 27 arrest, when video captured him wandering away from investigating crash-scene police officers and talking on his cellphone to (Woods later told the officers) “the president.” Shortly after his arrest, Woods, per various reliable reports, went to a behavioral treatment facility in Switzerland for about six or seven weeks. On June 23, he was in Hartford, Conn., where he read from prepared remarks for a minute, the preamble to Brian Rolapp’s appearance in front of assembled reporters. Woods, in a suit and tie, opened his comments with a good-natured and confident, “Good morning.” He seemed nervous after that, understandably so. Here was one of the most famous people in the world making a rare semi-public appearance. He’s a prisoner of something — his fame, his choices, his compulsions. His life.

His second recent semi-public appearance came by way of video, a message he made for his friend Notah Begay, who received the Payne Stewart Award the other day, for his work on behalf of Native American kids. Earl Woods, Tiger’s father, had a grandparent who was a member of the Cherokee Nation. Woods, in his one-minute tribute to his former Stanford teammate, began his remarks by saying, “Hey, Note — it’s been an unbelievable ride with you.” Names are often lengthened and sometimes shortened when they come out of Tiger’s mouth. Steiny. J.T. His daughter is Sam and not Samantha and his son is Charlie not Charles. Stevie (Steve Williams). Brooksie (Brooks Koepka). Stricks (Steve Stricker). Bryson is Bryson. What can you do with Bryson? Woods talked about the significant and real work Begay has done for Native Americans. “You first came into my life when I was 11 years old and you watched me play in a Junior Worlds,” Woods says early in the minute.
Some people, typically in unsigned internet commentary, have offered their observations on how Woods looked. It’s crude. “Fans Stunned by Tiger Woods’ Look after Rare Public Appearance,” read a Yahoo headline. So crude. Yes, Woods does look tired. He does look like he’s been through the wringer of a life that once seemed easy but has not for years.
But, at least from this perch, there’s something else in that roughly one-minute video that is far more telling, and Bryson would surely get it. Woods is talking directly to a friend, a friend who saw the child become a man. Notah was there when Tiger was 11 and surely when Tiger was 12. He was there through Tiger’s high school years and into his two at Stanford. The California years.
All that promise. All that future. All Tiger had to do was keep getting better at golf. The chase is so exciting. You can get lost in it. Bryson knows all about that.

“Thank you for coming to see me play, thank you for getting our friendship started,” Tiger says in the final seconds of a fast minute. “I love you, dude.” It was a beautiful thing to say. Beautiful and easy.
James Toney suspects he was intentionally avoided by two fellow world champions in 1993, back when he held the IBF super-middleweight title.
Prior to that, the defensive wizard had become a world middleweight champion by dethroning fellow future Hall of Famer Michael Nunn with an 11th-round finish.
He then successfully defended his IBF title against the likes of Reggie Johnson and Mike McCallum, before claiming the same belt up at 168lbs by toppling Iran Barkley.
Advertisement
Just a few months earlier, Nigel Benn had also become a two-weight world champion at 168lbs, with a third-round stoppage of Mauro Galvano earning him the WBC strap.
A unification match between ‘The Dark Destroyer’ and Toney therefore seemed possible, only for both champions to pursue alternative opportunities.
With their fiercely-anticipated sequel ending in a draw, however, the two Brits came away with their respective titles while Toney remained the IBF champion until November 1994, when he suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Roy Jones Jr.
Advertisement
Over three decades later, though, Toney has told FightHype – while also speaking with Ryan Garcia – that there were ample opportunities for either Benn or Eubank to face him.
“For years, I was trying to get his [Conor Benn’s] dad to fight me. They all were [ducking me].”
With Garcia defending his WBC welterweight title against Benn on September 12, Toney expressed his surprise that Nigel’s son actually agreed to face the champion at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

Evidently in pain, Thomas left the game and was taken off on a cart, a bad sign that may have ignited some doom-and-gloom forecasting. Andrew Krammer of The Star Tribune described the defender going to the locker room, writing, “Safety Jacob Thomas being carted into the locker room with an apparent right leg injury is not the first quarter development they were looking for in this one.”
Oftentimes, the cart is a telltale sign of a serious problem, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Consider what Alec Lewis of The Athleticshared earlier today: “Vikings UDFA safety Jacob Thomas has a Grade 1 ankle sprain, a source tells The Athletic. Considered very positive news after Friday’s injury. Thomas has had an exceptional training camp and has been in line to make the 53-man roster.”
Injured Viking Jacob Thomas Should Be Healthy Before Long
Mr. Thomas has had a terrific offseason for the Minnesota Vikings.
An undrafted talent, Thomas got to training camp with very little hype. He has since put on a clinic for how a young fella ought to make a case for requiring roster real estate. Watching #39 means seeing somebody who evidently has spent time with his nose in the playbook, allowing him to play decisively from within Brian Flores’ complex scheme.
Advertisement
That’s often the key, isn’t it? Putting in that extra effort to master the scheme allows a player to move freely and without the hindrance of the mental gears needing to work overtime. Usually, the player who makes the game look effortless has put a ton of effort into his craft.

PFF handed out an elite grade to the rookie, slapping a 92.7 grade beside his name for his preseason performance.
Looking under the hood means seeing that the most promising aspect of Thomas’s effort came in pass coverage, an area of his game where he demanded a 91.4 grade.
Thomas got moved around the defense. Most commonly, the kid got put into that center fielder position, tasked with being a free safety for 46 snaps. He then had 24 snaps in the box, 7 snaps in the slot, and 6 snaps added onto the end of the d-line as a pseudo edge rusher.
Anybody who has watched the Vikings’ defense play ball over these past couple of seasons knows that being versatile is a coveted ability for Brian Flores. Jacob Thomas appears to be somebody who can fulfill the Flores ethos.

Usually, the Vikings opt for a cautious approach with injury. Expect that to be the case with Jacob Thomas even if the safety depth is being strained.
Right now, Josh Metellus looks like the only true certainty at safety. He’ll be a starter no matter what. Theo Jackson is sorting through his own minor bumps and bruises and Jay Ward is trying to carve out a larger role. Tavierre Thomas is a roster favorite but is mostly in town for specials. Jakobe Thomas is getting back into game shape and Kahlef Hailassie looks like he’ll get shuffled to the practice squad.
Jacob Thomas, 22, boasts good size at 6’1″ and 212 pounds. The Vikings are a better football team when he’s flying around. Minnesota plays the Green Bay Packers in Week 1. That game will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, September 13th.
Hopefully, the kid is fully healthy in time for that debut game of the 2026 regular season.
Moses Itauma was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after his IBF world heavyweight title bid ended in a ninth-round stoppage by new champion Filip Hrgovic.
Itauma was carried from the ring on a stretcher following an explosive clash for the vacant belt at The O2 that saw Hrgovic become Croatia’s first champion in the division.
The 21-year-old from Kent was in complete command of the fight but had punched himself out in search of the knockout and was exhausted when referee Howard Foster came to his rescue with trainer Ben Davison also throwing in the towel.
“Moses has gone to the hospital for a check up,” promoter Frank Warren said.
“It’s precautionary that he’s gone to the hospital. That’s what we always do to make sure because the most important thing is the boxer’s health.

Hrgovic and Itauma slugged it out in the final rounds (Steven Paston/PA) (PA Wire)
“He’s there and he’s in the best place. We’ll see what happens when I’ve got a report. We’ll obviously let everybody know.
“He’s done something to his leg as well and he was quite tired. It was a high paced, fast fight for both the guys. It was just edge of your seat stuff all the way through.”
Itauma reined down blows on Hrgovic for the first seven rounds but the wily 34-year-old was able to soak up the punishment and then took control in the eighth and ninth rounds.
Showing a granite chin and enormous heart, he won the exchanges as the rivals went toe to toe and Itauma lurched across the ring until Foster intervened.
The clash had been billed ‘Witness History’ in anticipation of Itauma being crowned Britain’s youngest ever world heavyweight champion, but his career has stalled and Warren was unable to guarantee he would be back.

“I don’t know what he’s going to say,” Warren said. “I’m sure he’s a fighting man. He showed that right to the end. At the end, that’s the type of fight it was – they were standing there just letting bombs go.
Itauma started well but tired (Steven Paston/PA) (PA Wire)
“I don’t even know how he feels mentally. Mentally, he’s going to be completely down. We’re going to have to talk to him and lift him and see what he’s like.
“It’s going to take some time. He’s going to have a nice break. It’s not even the time to talk about it with him at the moment.
“It’s something we’re probably doing in two weeks or even a month’s time, see where we go with it.”
Hrgovic must now take on the IBF’s mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez, who was paid step aside money to enable him to face Itauma.

“I can’t believe it’s happening,” he said. My head is ringing from everything. It will take time for my feelings to settle. But I can’t believe that after 20 years I have my dream.
“God gave me the best possible gift to fight to win a world title against the best guy in the division. The most talented guy in the division. There is no better way for me to become a world champion.”
Viktor Hovland will head into the final round of the PGA Tour’s $40m Tour Championship in Atlanta on Sunday with a one-stroke lead.
The season-ending event will also crown the FedEx Cup champion, which was won by Hovland in 2023.
The Norwegian, who came into the third round tied for the lead on 10 under with American Ryan Gerard, birdied the 17th and 18th holes to post a five-under-par 65 to improve to 15 under.
Gerard also birdied the final hole to finish one back on 14 under after a round of 66.
Advertisement
Lurking in the chasing pack are the world’s top two players, with number one Scottie Scheffler, the 2024 champion, producing a serene bogey-free round of 66 to finish three adrift on 12 under.
Back-to-back Masters champion Rory McIlroy – a record three-time FedEx Cup winner in 2016, 2019 and 2022 – catapulted himself into contention with a hugely impressive 63 to sit five shots off the lead.
The 37-year-old found form with his putter as he holed nine birdies, including three in a row on 15, 16 and 17 to post the joint lowest round of the day.
“I just left myself in better spots on the greens,” said McIlroy.
Advertisement
“I gave myself easier putts, putts that didn’t break two ways. When I got it rolling there on the back nine, every putt was like a cup right or a cup left.”
Australia’s Adam Scott, 46, who won the Tour Championship 20 years ago is alongside Scheffler after also carding a 66, while Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg posted a 65 to also finish on 12 under.
McIlroy is joined on 10 under by Players Championship winner Cameron Young.
England’s Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick are probably too far back to challenge or the title at eight under par.
Advertisement
Defending champion Tommy Fleetwood and fellow Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick are a shot further adrift after both signed for 67s.
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, first out and playing on his own in the 29-man field (reduced from 30 because JJ Spaun pulled out injured during round one) whipped round in 63 shots to improve to joint 25th on four under par.
President Donald Trump also attended the LIV Golf New York event at Trump National Bedminster.
President Donald Trump will serve as the honorary chairman at the 2026 Presidents Cup and plans to attend the event that will be held at Medinah Country Club in Chicago from Sept. 24-27.
“At the request of the PGA Tour, and its Great new Commissioner, Brian Rolapp, it is my Honor to accept being the Honorary Chairman of the upcoming Presidents Cup, which will take place at the Medinah Country Club in Chicago,” Trump said in a statement posted on Truth Social. “This will be a particularly exciting event. Both teams are “loaded” with Talent. I look forward to being there, and greeting all of these fantastic athletes, on both teams! Thank you for your attention to this matter. See you in Chicago!
Trump served the same role for the 2017 Presidents Cup held at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey during his first presidential term. The U.S. won that competition over the international team, 19-11. He also made an appearance during the first round at last year’s Ryder Cup held at Bethpage Black on Long Island.
“The Presidents Cup has a proud tradition of engaging world leaders from across the globe and across political lines, and President Trump’s involvement continues that legacy,” PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said in a statement. “His participation will help elevate the event on the international stage while furthering our mission of bringing people together through the game of golf.”

Brandt Snedeker will serve as captain of the American team that will take on an international team led by captain Geoff Ogilvy of Australia next month.
Trump joins six former presidents to serve as the honorary chairman for the event: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took part in the trophy presentation at the most recent Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal in 2024. Other world leaders who have held the position include Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

At no point did Tre Hawkins III appear to be somebody who was going to challenge for a spot on the 53-man roster. What appeared likely has now become real.
The update of the Vikings getting into roster cuts arrives courtesy of KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. He sent along the word on social media, explaining, “#Vikings are releasing former #Giants corner Tre Hawkins III, per a league source. Experienced player with some upside.”
McGlothern was working through a tough roster battle but was notable due to his youth and presence on the roster over these past two years. The long-and-strong corner was a UDFA gem from the 2024 haul who offered hope of developing into a matchup CB3 if his upward trajectory continued.
Instead, McGlothern never took the step Minnesota was hoping for, leading to an odd scenario where he was retained but with the coaching staff seemingly always bypassing him when there was a need for corner coverage.
The Vikings moved on from McGlothern last week. Hawkins got added as a replacement.

In some ways, Tre Hawkins didn’t get a fair shot. Being added with the majority of training camp and the preseason done means having very little time to acclimate, much less shine.
The 26-year-old defender was drafted at No. 209 in the 2023 NFL Draft. At 6’3″ and 195 pounds, Hawkins will probably continue getting looks since DCs love tall corners. Whoever signs him will be getting somebody who may yet have some upside.
Expect the Vikings to devote four or five spots from within the roster real estate to the corner position. All of Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers, James Pierre, and Chuck Demmings look like a sure bet.
The deadline to be down to a maximum of 53 players is tomorrow evening.
The Juan the New York Mets invested $765 million in has returned.
New York announced on Saturday afternoon that it has activated Soto from the 10-day injured list. Soto, who’s batting second and serving as the Mets’ designated hitter in their Saturday afternoon home matchup against the Houston Astros, hasn’t played since July 24 due to a calf injury.
To make room for Soto on the active roster, the Mets sent infielder Eric Wagaman to Triple-A Syracuse.

Soto, a six-time Silver Slugger and five-time All-Star, also missed roughly three weeks in April due to a calf injury.
Through 84 games this season (359 plate appearances), Soto has totaled 21 home runs, 52 RBIs, a 164 OPS+ and 2.7 wins above replacement, while boasting a .283/.408/.539 slash line. He ranks in the 93rd percentile of MLB in average exit velocity (92.5 mph), 92nd percentile in barrel percentage (14.3%) and 89th percentile in hard-hit percentage (48.6%), according to Statcast.
As for the club he’s returning to, the Mets have lost three consecutive games and four of their last five. New York is 60-75, good for 13th in the National League and last in the NL East.
Soto, 27, is in the second season of an MLB-record 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets.
