FIRST HALF

Two of the receptions resulted in first downs and the opposite pushed the Beavers to the Purdue 21-yard line, which led to a 29-yard Everett Hayes area objective. In the midst of Clemons’ highlights, Gevani McCoy additionally linked with Trent Walker on a pleasant, 34-yard cross over the center. The sector objective pushed the Beavers’ result in 17-7 at halftime. Clemons, who missed the primary three video games with an harm, supplied a style of what he can deliver to the OSU offense throughout this sequence.

Boilermakers sixth drive

Oregon State’s protection overcame its first robust sequence with one other stable stand, permitting simply six yards and forcing a three-and-out.

Oregon State drives to the Purdue 27-yard line, however putters out. On third-and-eight, Gevani McCoy took at robust sack, dropping seven yards. The play pressured the Beavers to strive a 52-yard area objective. Everett Hayes’ kick had loads of distance, however doinked off the left upright. So the seven-play drive netted zero factors.

Boilermakers fifth drive | Purdue scores first landing

Oregon State’s shutout desires are lifeless. Purdue makes use of a quick-strike, two-play drive to attain its first landing of the sport. After a innocent run and a passing interference name, Hudson Card tossed a fairly 35-yard landing cross down the fitting sideline to tight finish Max Klare. Jack Kane was beat on the play. Oregon State’s lead is all the way down to 14-7.

Beavers fourth drive

The sturdy defensive stand is all for naught, because the Beavers go three-and-out on the following drive. OSU misplaced two yards on the sequence.

Boilermakers fourth drive

The Beavers protection has been glorious right this moment and it discovered a brand new technique to stifle Purdue on this drive. After the Boilermakers lastly began constructing somewhat mojo, ripping off a number of massive features — together with a 28-yard run — the Beavers flexed somewhat bend-but-don’t-break within the pink zone. OSU stopped a Purdue rush try on third-and-one on the 12-yard line, then stuffed one other run on fourth-and-two on the 13-yard line, forcing a turnover on downs.

The play began when quarterback Hudson Card collected a shotgun snap on first-and-10 and flipped a fast cross to operating again Reggie Love III in the fitting flat. Saez learn the play superbly and batted the ball together with his left hand towards the bottom … or so it appeared. The ball beelined at Love, ricocheted off his calf/leg and bounced into the ready arms of Seaz, who cruised into the tip zone for 20-yard landing return. The Beavers’ protection has already pressured a pair of turnovers. OSU leads 7-0.

He’s met by Nikko Taylor, who forces a fumble that Thomas Collins recovers. After final week’s defensive flop, the Beavers get an necessary stand on their first probability versus Purdue.

Beavers first drive

A gutsy name by coach Trent Bray goes awry. After selecting up 9 yards on the primary three performs, the Beavers elected to go for it on fourth-and-on on the 28-yard line.

Just a few years in the past you possibly can barely transfer for pulpy mysteries about privileged communities with skeletons of their closets, a pattern set off by David E Kelly’s adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s hit novel Huge Little Lies. However simply once I thought the wealthy child crime drama style had had its day, one other wave has arrived.

With one other Nicole Kidman automobile, The Excellent Couple, dominating the Netflix charts, and now the arrival of the equally star-stuffed Apples By no means Fall on BBC iPlayer, it’s feeling like 2017 once more. The latter drama, nonetheless, appears like a poor imitation – a trope-laden pastiche of an already soapy style. It’ll sate anybody wanting their newest repair of waspy households and their scandalous secrets and techniques, however has little unique to supply.

Apples By no means Fall can also be a Moriarty story – certainly not her finest cherished and definitely her most clunkily titled. Led by Annette Bening and Sam Neill, the present claims Huge Little Lies as an apparent level of reference, however with its hazy hues and elitist characters, it’s clearly making an attempt to invoke The White Lotus too.

Because the sequence greets us with a washed-out color palette, palm bushes and a wailing voice, it’s arduous not to consider Mike White’s wealth satire in regards to the extremely strung friends at luxurious resorts. As compared with The White Lotus, nonetheless, the one comedy right here comes from the clunkiness of the dialogue, and it’s not intentional.

We’re welcomed into the elite neighborhood of West Palm Seaside in Florida, and the Delaney Tennis Academy. Matriarch Pleasure Delaney (Bening) cycles by way of city, passing by the showy mansions and deep blue swimming pools earlier than stopping to buy an apple. The following second, her bike is strewn on the street, its wheel nonetheless spinning. Pleasure is nowhere to be seen, however there’s blood on the bottom – and apples too. Speak about on the nostril.

Learn Subsequent

The following day, Pleasure’s kids, every with a superbly all-American title – Amy (Alison Brie), Troy (Jake Lacy), Logan (Conor Merrigan Turner) and Brooke (Essie Randles) – are sat at lunch, worrying about their mom, who has gone lacking post-bike accident.

Their dialogue is thickly laden with exposition, as they admit that they’ve “all form of been assholes currently” and trace that the youngsters don’t totally belief their dad, Stan (Neill).

Additionally like The White Lotus – a sequence that begins with a homicide earlier than going again in time to the start of the week – the motion then flashes backwards to an unspecified interval earlier than Pleasure went lacking.

It’s the eve of her and Stan’s retirement from their common youngsters’ tennis academy. The Delaney siblings smile in public, however behind closed doorways their dinners are tense. Aggression is taken out on one another – and their curmudgeonly father – on the tennis courtroom, as Stan prods his youngsters and tells them that they’re “going smooth”.

All through the sequence, the drama ricochets between these two timelines. However with little visible differentiation between the 2 threads, it’s extraordinarily arduous to determine whether or not the motion we’re seeing is happening prior to now or current. There are twists and turns, certain, however all of them really feel exceptionally by-product and predictable.

The tropes come thick and quick, and except for Bening, who in some way brings nuance to the flustered middle-aged mom archetype, the remainder of the solid telephone it in. We’ve seen Brie, Neill and Lacy play these roles earlier than – Lacy in The White Lotus, after all.

The 2 comparatively unknown actors enjoying the youthful Delaney siblings, Turner and Randles, do a greater job, however maybe solely as a result of they haven’t made this actual sequence earlier than. The arrival of Savannah (Georgia Flood), a mysterious lady who reveals up on the mother and father’ door coated in blood, brings an attention-grabbing outsider into the fold. In the long run, nonetheless, Savannah finally ends up being probably the most half-drawn character of the lot.

There’s little that stands out to me about Apples By no means Fall which, I think, is kind of the purpose. It is a programme designed to fill the area left by Huge Little Lies and the copycats that adopted. Apples By no means Fall didn’t must reinvent the crime drama wheel to be watchable, however given its revered pedigree, I anticipated it to a minimum of attempt.

‘Apples By no means Fall’ is on BBC One tonight at 9.25pm. The total sequence is streaming on BBC iPlayer

There are however a number of authors who’ve their very own universes inside the trendy tv panorama. Agatha Christie, after all, will get a brand new adaptation each Christmas. There’s additionally David Nicholls and Kate Atkinson, or any variety of thriller writers, from Gillian Flynn to the indefatigable Harlan Coben. However none have made fairly the impression, lately, of Australian writer Liane Moriarty, whose books have spawned numerous blockbuster sagas, the newest of which, Apples By no means Fall, turns up this week on BBC One.

Pleasure Delaney (Annette Bening) has gone lacking. She has not too long ago retired from the tennis academy she ran along with her risky husband Stan (Sam Neill), and her disappearance sparks the priority of her youngsters: anxious Amy (Alison Brie), macho Troy (Jake Lacy), disenchanted Logan (Conor Merrigan Turner), and unreliable Brooke (Essie Randles). Has any person murdered their mom? And is that “any person” their father, on condition that Pleasure could have been looking for a divorce? Or is Pleasure’s vanishing someway linked to the sudden look, many months earlier, of a mysterious younger lady, Savannah (Georgia Flood), who turns into a cuckoo within the Delaney nest?

If you realize Moriarty’s work, you’ll know the place that is going. Twists and turns, misdirection and obfuscation, to not point out lashings of household drama. That is the third big-budget adaptation of Moriarty’s work, starting with 2017’s Massive Little Lies, and adopted up by Amazon’s 9 Excellent Strangers because the meat on this hammy sandwich. Although they’re unified by A-list expertise and excessive manufacturing values, the artistic ambitions have been progressively stifled. The place Massive Little Lies was shot with a vaguely inventive eye, Apples By no means Fall is your run-of-the-mill sepia-infused thriller. Even the title is clunky, and the dialogue is usually equally stilted. “Everybody says they need a health care provider within the household,” the sibylline Savannah observes. “However I believe having somebody within the geosciences round is far more fascinating.”

All the identical, how unhealthy can a present with Annette Bening, Sam Neill and Alison Brie actually be? And that’s the key to Apples By no means Fall. Every episode follows a distinct Delaney as they navigate each the household dynamics and the muckraking presence who will resurface long-buried secrets and techniques. All of them glow within the south-Florida gentle (a relocation from the novel’s Australian setting, although the collection remains to be filmed there), wanting preternaturally stunning. However that’s one thing that unifies the Moriartiverse: glamorous folks, in glamorous settings, behaving barely repulsively in direction of each other. And whereas nobody is departing a lot from their established archetypes – Lacy is now the go-to Hollywood bro, whereas Brie has performed each bug-eyed neurotic going – all of it matches collectively neatly, like a puzzle.

“It sort of felt simple being a martyr,” Pleasure confesses, in flashback. “Possibly I let myself down.” And for all that Apples By no means Fall delivers dependable tropes – the lacking lady, the mysterious stranger, the rival from the previous who’s again on the scene – its core concern is how a dysfunctional marriage begets a dysfunctional household. The script, from showrunner Melanie Marnich, is often heavy-handed, however there’s sufficient within the materials to maintain viewers’ curiosity for seven episodes. And whereas it doesn’t stick the touchdown in the identical manner as Massive Little Lies, the rug-pull within the seventh chapter manages, in tennis phrases, to be a cushty put-away, even when it’s not fairly a smash.

Apples By no means Fall exists in the midst of a Venn diagram between full-blown homicide thriller thrillerdom, and an nearly cleaning soap operatic depiction of crumbling dynasties. It’s an rising portmanteau style, designed to unite women and men, younger and outdated, in one thing mildly thrilling, mildly titillating and mildly relatable. The result’s a present that lacks the crunch of a Pink Girl, however nonetheless has the mellow tones and summer time flavourings of a Golden Scrumptious.

Final week, U.S. Sen. John Kennedy performed the position of involved politician with consummate aptitude when he made his approach round southeast Louisiana, assuring Hurricane Francine victims he was there for them of their time of want.

This week, he’s again in Washington and bringing the mistaken sort of consideration to our state.

If Kennedy was simply marching out his fake corn pone persona but once more, his wearisome schtick can be simple sufficient to disregard. However our Republican junior senator went past the pale Tuesday along with his unacceptable questioning of Maya Berry, director of the Arab American Institute, whom Kennedy stated “ought to disguise her head in a bag.”

The event was a Senate Judiciary Committee listening to on antisemitism and anti-Arab hate. The subject has been on the forefront since final October when the terrorist group Hamas attacked a music pageant in kibbutz Re’im, killing greater than 700 folks and taking on 100 extra  hostage.

Since then, the Israeli loss of life toll has surpassed 1,000 in subsequent Hamas assaults, whereas the Jewish state’s navy response in Gaza has killed greater than 41,000 Palestinians.

The continued struggle has led to tense showdowns on U.S. faculty campuses, with politicians wandering into the fray. So you’ll assume lawmakers would watch out to not add extra gasoline to what’s already an incendiary scenario, particularly members of such an esteemed physique because the U.S. Senate.

However not Kennedy, who felt compelled to exhibit the necessity for such a listening to when he pressed Berry, an Arab American, to reply whether or not she supported Hamas and Hezbollah, one other terrorist-connected political group.

Unfazed, Berry withstood the onslaught from Kennedy, who continued to ask whether or not she supported both group even after she made it clear she backed neither.

“Oddly sufficient, I’m going to say thanks for that query as a result of it demonstrates the aim of our listening to right now,” Berry advised the senator.

Undeterred or maybe unable to listen to over his personal prattle, Kennedy pressed on and completed along with his “head in a bag” remark, drawing groans from different committee members. Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, then allowed Berry to reply.

“This has been regrettably an actual disappointment however very a lot a sign of the hazard to our democratic establishments that we’re in now,” she stated in conclusion.

Kennedy’s boorish show will probably go over large along with his extra ardent constituents in addition to of us on the far proper who encourage such intolerance. This follows the senator’s sample of Donald Trump-style demagoguery and enjoying as much as the MAGA crowd, whose problem to their leaders appears to be not “how far can you’re taking us?” however “how low are you able to go?” within the contest to be essentially the most hateful, insensitive and divisive.

Throughout his political ascension, Kennedy really held promise as a constitutional scholar and voice of motive and customary sense. He delivered on the promise you’ll count on from a graduate of Vanderbilt College, Virginia Faculty of Regulation and Oxford College. That held true even after he switched from the Democratic to the Republican Celebration in 2007.

However upon successful a seat within the U.S. Senate in 2017, Kennedy assumed a persona that’s equal components Foghorn Leghorn, Huckleberry Hound and Jar-Jar Binks — a chimera unwittingly spawned from the Sid and Morty Krofft laboratory.

Louisiana deserves higher than a mean-spirited caricature within the U.S. Senate. On the very least, Kennedy must be despatched a message that the extent of rudeness he displayed Tuesday towards Berry doesn’t sit effectively with the house crowd.

Extra importantly, Louisiana must have a zero-tolerance coverage for the folks we elected to symbolize us: No racism, no bigotry, no misogyny, no dogmatism, no extra refusal to budge from intransigent views.

Till we do, brace yourselves for extra embarrassment.

Dominic Solanke received off the mark for Tottenham as Ange Postecoglou’s aspect defeated Brentford 3-1 in a frantic encounter on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The guests have been forward inside 22 seconds for a second week working, as Bryan Mbeumo lashed Keane Lewis-Potter’s cross into the highest proper nook. However the the rest of a frenzied first half belonged to Spurs.

Seven minutes after Mbeumo’s good opener, the hosts have been stage because of Solanke, answering his critics with an instinctive end after James Maddison’s preliminary shot had been generously palmed into his path.

Seizing momentum, Spurs then took the lead within the twenty eighth minute when Brennan Johnson was launched by Heung-Min Son, and he rifled a superbly exact strike throughout Mark Flekken – who continues to be the busiest goalkeeper of any within the Premier League.

Brentford have been carved open many extra occasions all through an unusually disorganised show.

Solanke introduced tireless Son with an opportunity for Spurs’ third, whereas Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski have been additionally denied, earlier than Mbeumo had a uncommon alternative to grab a leveller on the reverse finish, stopped in his tracks by Guglielmo Vicario, who, moments earlier than, appeared to have dealt with the ball exterior his field.

The ultimate say was Maddison’s, although. Cristian Romero launched a fast counter-attack, linking with Son, who unselfishly threaded the ball to Maddison 5 minutes from time, and he dinked over Flekken.

Tottenham’s second win of the season has lifted them to tenth, whereas Brentford – who’ve dropped extra factors from profitable positions than every other aspect for the reason that begin of final season (36) – have slipped to twelfth.

Ought to Vicario have been penalised?

Brentford have been rightly livid within the 58th minute when Vicario appeared to clumsily deal with exterior his space after he tried however failed to say a cross forward of Mikkel Damsgaard.

The entire episode was bizarrely missed by on-field official John Brooks, prompting offended responses from Kristoffer Ajer and Thomas Frank, who have been each booked for dissent.

VAR can solely intervene for a red-card incident, which this might have been if there was the denial of a objective or goalscoring alternative.

Talking in his press convention, Frank mentioned: “He handballed it, however that incident did not outline the sport. The margins must go our manner. It was a mistake, it might have helped us, however the chance for scoring from that’s low. John Brooks, general, had an excellent recreation.”

Postecoglou praises ‘relentless’ Spurs

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou:

“It wasn’t a really perfect begin. However it was prefer it by no means occurred. We knew Brentford can be aggressive, and we love that a part of the sport.

“We thought if we introduced our personal depth we might trigger issues, and we have been relentless the entire recreation. We absolutely deserved the win.

“The entire group was good. Actually targeted on ensuring we dominated the sport. Brentford attempt to play out, and that is nice for us, as a result of we wish to press exhausting. The midfielders performed a key position with that.

“For all of our play, we have not actually received the rewards up till this level. Three leaders within the membership contributed to the third objective, and that is what you are searching for in these moments.”

Frank: We’re lacking strongest gamers

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank:

“We at all times attempt to come right here to win, you see that in the present day, there is no such thing as a away floor we’re terrified of.

“I just like the bravery from my gamers. We play a group which might be absolutely firing, and we’re lacking 5 of our strongest gamers. That is simply to place issues into perspective.

“No moaning, no complaints. It is my job to place a aggressive group on the market. I noticed an excellent Spurs group in the present day.”

Story of the match in stats…

Evaluation: Spurs start to disclose finest aspect

When Tottenham click on they are often devastating. By far their most full show of the season, Spurs’ large hitters all stood as much as the depend, and took collective accountability for delivering an ‘Ange-ball’ type efficiency.

Solanke opened his Spurs account, Johnson scored in consecutive matches for the primary time since becoming a member of a yr in the past, and Maddison scored and assisted in the identical recreation for the primary time since Could 2023.

Postecoglou referred to as his group relentless, registering 23 efforts on objective – 10 on the right track – and producing an xG of three.51 – their highest of the season. This was a triumph of endurance.

It was solely a matter of time earlier than new elements started to sync with previous, in a extra cohesive and productive manner, Postecoglou had insisted. However doubters pointed to Spurs’ profligacy in video games up till this level.

“We’ve not received simply rewards till now,” Postecoglou responded. Now he should again it up.
