Coach Deion Sanders and his Colorado soccer workforce simply despatched a transparent message to the Huge 12 Convention:

Watch out for the Buffaloes.

Final week they confirmed they will dangle with top-of-the-line groups within the league. This week they confirmed how good they are often on the street. They beat Arizona on Saturday at Arizona Stadium, 34-7, and didn’t even really want Travis Hunter, their star two-way participant.

Hunter returned from a shoulder harm final week to play within the first half, when he caught two passes for 17 yards and made one deal with. However he left the sport and didn’t return after the Buffs constructed a 28-7 lead at halftime.

By then, the sport was all however over anyway. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders accomplished 23 of 33 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions to guide CU. Colorado’s protection recorded seven sacks and held the Wildcats scoreless after giving up their lone landing within the first quarter.

The win improves Colorado to 3-1 within the Huge 12 and 5-2 general, which is one win greater than the Buffs had final 12 months in Sanders’ first season as coach. The victory additionally places them one win away from being eligible to play in a bowl sport with 5 regular-season video games remaining. They subsequent play at residence Saturday towards Cincinnati (5-2).

Arizona fell to 3-4 in entrance of an introduced crowd of fifty,724. Star receiver Tetairoa McMillan entered the sport ranked third nationally with 123.7 receiving yards per sport however had solely 5 catches for 38 yards.

Linebacker Nikhai Hill-Inexperienced, a switch from Charlotte, led CU’s protection with eight tackles and a sack.

Colorado vs. Arizona highlights

Buffaloes tack on field goal to extend lead to 34-7

With the game essentially over, Colorado’s backup players helped stretch the Buffaloes’ lead to 34-7 with 4:42 remaining at Arizona. Backup quarterback Ryan Staub led the short scoring drive after an interception by Colorado cornerback Colton Hood set the Buffs up on the Arizona 23-yard line. Colorado kicker Alejandro Mata then booted a 34-yard field goal to end the possession.

Starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished the game with 23-for-33 passing for 250 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. 

Colorado leads 31-7 in third quarter

Colorado didn’t need Travis Hunter to score on its first possession of the second half – a nine-play, 76 yard drive that ended with a 28-yard field goal by Alejandro Mata. The kick extended Colorado’s lead to 31-7 with 5:58 left in the third quarter.

Arizona has punted on three straight possessions, including its opening possession of the second half. 

Two-way star Travis Hunter did not dress for the second half against Arizona and is done for the game after returning from a right shoulder injury last week against Kansas State. Hunter played in the first half Saturday and caught two passes for 17 yards, including a 14-yard catch on fourth down that set up a touchdown.

Fox reporter Allison Williams said Hunter slightly aggravated his shoulder injury and is sitting out for the second half out of caution with Colorado leading 28-7 at halftime.

Arizona linebacker Jacob Manu injured

Arizona has been bit by the injury bug in this game, including the loss of linebacker Jacob Manu in the first half. Manu is the Wildcats’ leading tackler and came out of the game with an apparent knee injury. He had four tackles Saturday before being removed.

HALFTIME: Colorado 28, Arizona 7

Colorado survived a strange sequence in the second quarter in which there were three turnovers in the span of six plays – a botched snap by Colorado, a fumble by Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita and then an interception thrown by Shedeur Sanders.

Arizona didn’t capitalize on it, though. Colorado instead took a 28-7 lead with 1:07 left in the first half after a 6-yard touchdown run up the middle by Sanders.

Sanders has led the Buffaloes to one of their best halves of football under head coach Deion Sanders. He is 15-for-21 passing for 173 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.

Colorado receiver LaJohntay Wester has six catches for 106 yards. Two-way star Travis Hunter has caught two passes for 17 yards. 

Travis Hunter comes up with big catch, Colorado up 21-7

Travis Hunter asserted his return from injury in the second quarter when he came up with a 14-yard catch on fourth down for Colorado. The catch brough the Buffaloes to the Arizona 16-yard line, where they set up to score on the next play – a 16-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Shedeur Sanders to receiver Will Sheppard, a transfer from Vanderbilt.

Sheppard caught the ball on the right side of the end zone and barely kept his left foot in bounds to help Colorado take a 21-7 lead.

The Buffs have scored touchdowns on all three of their possession so far.

Colorado leads 14-7 at end of first quarter

Is Travis Hunter playing for Colorado?

Coach Deion Sanders said the receiver-cornerback should play vs. Arizona despite his shoulder injury last week. How much he plays is another matter. The nature of his shoulder injury hasn’t been revealed, such as if it was a “stinger” or nerve injury that could allow him to come back sooner than more serious shoulder problems.

Why is MC Hammer at the Colorado-Arizona game?

Hip-hop artist MC Hammer came to this game and has strong ties to it. Arizona’s running backs coach, Alonzo Carter, previously toured with him as a dancer. Colorado coach Deion Sanders also recorded a song and music video with Hammer that was released in 1994 entitled “Straight to my Feet.”

Australian senator Lidia Thorpe has made headlines world wide after denouncing King Charles following his Parliament Home reception speech.

Lidia Thorpe, 51, accused the British monarchy of genocide in a fiery speech earlier than telling Charles “you’re not my King” as he returned to his seat from a lectern in Canberra.

“Give us our land again. Give us what you stole from us – our bones, our skulls, our infants, our folks,” she instructed the monarch earlier than being escorted away by safety. “You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty. We wish a treaty on this nation. You’re a genocidalist. This isn’t your land.”

Ms Thorpe, an Indigenous girl from Victoria, has lengthy advocated for a treaty between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians to recognise their autonomy and set proper historic wrongs.

Following the protest, the rest of the occasion on the monarch’s second official day of engagements continued as deliberate, and there was no reference to Ms Thorpe’s protest.

Ms Thorpe later instructed the BBC that she wished to ship “a transparent message” to Charles – the primary ever king of Australia, who’s presently within the midst of a six-day tour of the nation.

“To be sovereign it’s a must to be of the land,” she mentioned. “He’s not of this land.”

Ms Thorpe, a Gunnai, Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung mom, grandmother, is a widely known activist for Indigenous causes. Her latest actions, nonetheless, have been described as her most high-profile protest thus far.

She grew to become the primary Indigenous girl to be elected to the Victorian state parliament with Inexperienced Get together in 2017. Whereas her seat was subsequently misplaced in 2018, she was preselected to be a senator for the get together within the federal authorities in 2020.

On the time of her swearing into parliament in 2020, she raised her hand in a black energy salute. She did so whereas sporting a conventional possum-skin cloak and holding an Aboriginal message stick.

The stick was lined in 441 marks to characterize the deaths of Aboriginal folks identified to have died following the 1991 royal fee into deaths in custody.

Ms Thorpe beforehand instructed 9 newspapers: “I had no alternative in being influenced by black activists and the black battle of my folks… I used to be born into it and I don’t know anything.”

She protested once more in 2022 upon her re-election, describing the late Queen Elizabeth II “the colonising Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II” in her oath. Ms Thorpe was then compelled to recite her oath once more utilizing the proper phrases.

The politician in the end grew to become an impartial to “amplify the black sovereign motion” in 2023 following disagreements inside the Greens surrounding the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which tried to provide illustration to the views of Indigenous folks in parliament.

Ms Thorpe, who spent years campaigning for Indigenous causes even earlier than starting her political profession, final hit the headlines in April 2023 following the discharge of footage of her in an altercation outdoors a Melbourne strip membership.

It noticed her argue with males who she claims provoked her. The strip membership supervisor, nonetheless, mentioned that she had brought about the argument by accusing the lads of stealing her land.

The causes championed by Ms Thorpe on behalf of Indigenous Australians embody the reform of the jail and justice programs, environmental points and land rights.

In a press release launched forward of King Charles’s arrival on Friday, Ms Thorpe described the British monarch as “not the professional sovereign of those lands” and mentioned the monarchy had “dedicated a genocide of our folks”.

“There’s unfinished enterprise that we have to resolve earlier than this nation can turn into a republic. This should occur by way of Treaty,” Thorpe mentioned.

“We will transfer in direction of a Treaty Republic now. The 2 processes should not opposed, they’re complimentary.”

The problem of the British monarchy’s continued rule of Australia was final put to a referendum in 1999, when 55 p.c of Australian folks selected to maintain the establishment.

The royal go to to Canberra was at all times going to the touch on Australia’s historical past with its Indigenous peoples, however Thorpe’s intervention meant the King and Queen confronted it extra straight than initially deliberate.

The King and Queen had arrived in Canberra earlier within the day and have been greeted by a reception line of politicians, schoolchildren and Ngunnawal Elder Aunty Serena Williams, a consultant of the Indigenous folks.

They got a standard welcome into the Nice Corridor of Canberra’s Parliament Home to the sound of a digeridoo.

The King spoke about indigenous communities and what he had learnt from them saying his personal expertise had been “formed and strengthened by such conventional knowledge”.

“In my many visits to Australia, I’ve witnessed the braveness and hope which have guided the nation’s lengthy and typically tough journey in the direction of reconciliation,” he stated.

However as he sat down, the shouts of Thorpe’s protest rang across the corridor.

Her intervention was criticised by Aunty Sheridan, the Aboriginal elder who delivered a part of the official welcome speech for the King and Queen in Parliament Home.

She informed the BBC: “The King’s not properly. He’s going by chemo and he didn’t want this.

“I absolutely recognize him visiting right here. It could be the final time he comes. Heaps of individuals share my ideas.”

Buckingham Palace has made no official touch upon Thorpe’s protest, as an alternative focussing on the crowds who had turned as much as see the King and Queen in Canberra.

A palace supply stated that the royal couple have been deeply touched by the various hundreds who had turned out to help them.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer praised the King’s work throughout his Australia tour, significantly given the monarch’s current well being challenges.

When requested by reporters if it was “disgraceful” for Australian politicians to heckle the King, Starmer replied: “Look, I believe the King is doing a unbelievable job, an unbelievable ambassador, not only for our nation, however throughout the Commonwealth.”

King Charles’s go to – in a yr wherein he has been receiving most cancers remedy – is his first to Australia since succeeding his mom Queen Elizabeth II. Due to his well being, the tour is shorter than earlier royal visits.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado soccer group prevented a second straight loss on Saturday.

Fashionable high-speed web makes use of gentle to shortly and reliably transmit giant quantities of knowledge by means of fiber-optic cables, however at present, gentle alerts hit a bottleneck when knowledge processing is critical. For that, they have to convert into electrical alerts for processing earlier than additional transmission.

A tool referred to as an all-optical swap may as an alternative use gentle to regulate different gentle alerts with out the necessity for electrical conversion, saving each time and power in fiber-optic communication.

A College of Michigan-led analysis workforce demonstrated an ultrafast all-optical swap by pulsing circularly polarized gentle, which twists like a helix, by means of an optical cavity lined with an ultrathin semiconductor. The research was not too long ago revealed in Nature Communications.

The machine may operate as a normal optical swap, the place turning a management laser on or off switches the sign beam of the identical polarization, or as a sort of logic gate referred to as Unique OR (XOR) swap, which might produce an output sign when one gentle enter twists clockwise and the opposite is counterclockwise however not when each inputs are the identical.

“As a result of a swap is probably the most elementary constructing block of any data processing unit, an all-optical swap is step one in the direction of all optical computing or constructing optical neural networks,” stated Lingxiao Zhou, a physics doctoral pupil at U-M and lead writer of the research.

Optical computing’s low loss makes it extra fascinating than digital computing.

“Extraordinarily low energy consumption is a key to optical computing’s success. The work accomplished by our workforce addresses simply this drawback, utilizing uncommon two dimensional supplies to change knowledge at very low energies per bit,” stated Stephen Forrest, the Peter A. Franken Distinguished College Professor of Electrical Engineering at U-M and contributing writer of the research.

To attain this, the researchers pulsed a helical laser at common intervals by means of an optical cavity—a set of mirrors that lure and bounce gentle forwards and backwards a number of instances—boosting the energy of the laser by two orders of magnitude.

When a one-molecule-thick layer of the semiconductor tungsten diselenide (WSe2) is embedded throughout the optical cavity, the robust, oscillating gentle enlarges the digital bands of the obtainable electrons within the semiconductor—a nonlinear optical impact often known as the optical Stark impact. Because of this when an electron jumps to the next orbital, it absorbs extra power, and it emits extra power when it jumps down, often known as blue shifting. This in flip modifies the sign gentle’s fluence, the quantity of power delivered or mirrored per unit space.

Along with modulating the sign gentle, the optical Stark impact produced a pseudo-magnetic subject, which influences digital bands equally to these of a magnetic subject. Its efficient energy was 210 Tesla, far stronger than Earth’s strongest magnet with a energy of 100 Tesla. The enormously robust pressure is felt solely by electrons whose spins are aligned with the helicity of the sunshine, quickly splitting the digital bands of various spin orientations, directing the electrons within the aligned bands all in the identical orientation.

The workforce may change the ordering of the digital bands of various spins by altering the route the sunshine twists.

The temporary uniform spin directionality of the electrons in numerous bands additionally breaks one thing referred to as time reversal symmetry. Primarily, time reversal symmetry signifies that the physics underlying a course of is identical forwards and backwards, implying conservation of power.

Whereas we sometimes cannot observe this within the macroscopic world as a result of means power dissipates by means of forces like friction, in case you may take a video of electrons spinning, it could obey the legal guidelines of physics whether or not you performed it ahead or backward—the electron spinning a method would flip into an electron spinning the other means with the identical power. However within the pseudo-magnetic subject, time reversal symmetry is damaged as a result of if rewound, the electron spinning in the other way has a distinct power—and the power of various spins might be managed by means of the laser.

“Our outcomes open doorways to a whole lot of new prospects, each in basic science the place controlling time reversal symmetry is a requirement for creating unique states of matter and for expertise, the place leveraging such an enormous magnetic subject turns into attainable,” stated Hui Deng, a professor of physics and electrical and laptop engineering at U-M and corresponding writer of the research.

After benching Quinn Ewers within the first half, the Texas Longhorns have turned again to their beginning quarterback.

Ewers led the Texas offense onto the sector for its first possession of the second half of a recreation in opposition to Georgia. Texas trailed 23-0 at halftime, however the Longhorns opened the second half with the soccer at its 48-yard line. Ewers then directed a scoring drive that ended with the quarterback connecting with receiver Isaiah Bond for a landing and subsequent two-point conversion.

Throughout the first half at Royal-Memorial Stadium, Ewers threw for simply 17 yards and dedicated two turnovers over six drives. The third-year starter accomplished six of his 12 passes.

Backup quarterback Arch Manning did not fare a lot better after he changed Ewers. Over two possessions, Manning went 3-for-6 for 19 yards, and he took off on a 21-yard run. Manning additionally misplaced a fumble.

LONDON — Adam Azim’s march up the junior welterweight ranks continued on Saturday as he beat Ohara Davies through knockout in London.

At simply 22 years previous, it is one other spectacular victory for Azim in opposition to a veteran opponent.

Davies, 33, mentioned the bout would probably be his final, telling Sky Sports activities: “I am match. I’ve nonetheless acquired my schools. I feel this is likely to be the tip of my boxing profession and I am glad it was in opposition to Adam Azim.”

Azim (12-0, 9 KOs) scored a knockdown in Spherical 5 as Davies took a knee after a shot to the physique. After taking an increasing number of punishment because the combat went on, Davies (25-4, 18 KOs) was floored once more in Spherical 8, this time with a left hand to the pinnacle. He could not beat the rely as Azim stormed to a different commanding win.

Azim regarded to get on the entrance foot early, shortly making use of his vicious left hand that has been the undoing of so many earlier opponents in his quick skilled profession.

By Spherical 4, he was beginning to construct some good combos, though he could not wipe the smile from the face of a spirited Davies.

Nonetheless, Azim remained composed, working nicely behind his jab and selecting his moments properly.

Whereas in the long run a snug win, the combat was a major step up for Azim in opposition to an opponent 10 years his senior. Davies has loads of expertise and has shared the ring with the likes of Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall.

A combat with fellow unbeaten countryman Dalton Smith has lengthy been mooted, however Azim mentioned he’ll take it when the time is true.

“He is simply in a rush. I do not concern any combat, it could be good if it should be a primary occasion,” Azim mentioned. “Once I do combat him, I’ll educate him a lesson. I am sick and bored with him speaking about me … it should be harmful for him.”

Promoter Ben Shalom echoed his fighter’s sentiments, saying: “Adam Azim does not want anybody. He will have loads of fighters calling him out. He is the large identify, I imagine, within the division on this nation. Everybody’s going to need that massive combat, however we’ll take it when it is proper for us.”

On the undercard, former gentle heavyweight world title challenger Anthony Yarde beat Ralfs Vilcans on factors, 98-92.

It regarded as if it could be a fast end after Yarde (26-3, 24 KOs) floored his opponent within the opening seconds, however the Londoner could not capitalise. Vilcans (17-1, 7 KOs) recovered nicely and had his fair proportion of moments within the combat.

AUSTIN, Texas — Regardless of benching Quinn Ewers for Arch Manning throughout No. 1 Texas’ 30-15 loss to No. 5 Georgia on Saturday night time, coach Steve Sarkisian stated after the sport there was not a quarterback competitors.

“Quinn’s our beginning quarterback,” Sarkisian stated. “I recognize the truth that we’re lucky sufficient to have a backup like Arch that may come into the sport and supply a spark in some sense, however on the finish of the day, Quinn’s our starter.”

Trailing 20-0, Manning entered the sport with 4:43 left within the first half. His first drive resulted in a punt, and his second ended with him fumbling the ball whereas making an attempt a cross, organising a Georgia subject purpose to make it 23-0 on the finish of the primary half.

Ewers had struggled within the face of Georgia’s cross rush. He was pressured on six of his 16 dropbacks, going 0-for-2 on these performs with three sacks. General, Ewers was 6-of-12 passing for 17 yards and an interception when he was benched.

Sarkisian stated Ewers’ “eyes weren’t the place they wanted to be,” so he opted to provide him an opportunity to cool down and are available again out for the second half, although Ewers stated he wasn’t informed till he was within the locker room at halftime. Ewers was requested if he agreed with Sarkisian’s evaluation that he wanted to reset.

“I imply, it appeared like I did,” he stated. “I got here out after, second half, and put a few good drives collectively, however it’s undoubtedly a bizarre place to be in, for certain. … I felt good. I believed I used to be making a few of the proper selections. Clearly missed a pair right here and there. However it’s robust.”

Ewers and Manning had been each underneath duress from Georgia’s cross rush. The Bulldogs received strain on 39% of Texas dropbacks. Georgia had 11 sacks all season however completed with seven towards Texas. The Longhorns rushed for less than 29 yards.

“The sport, the way in which that it went, allowed elite cross rushers to cross rush,” Sarkisian stated.

Ewers completed 25-of-43 passing for 211 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Manning went 3-of-6 for 19 yards.

“Quinn’s our starter, however I believe we have to do a greater job round him,” Sarkisian stated. “I believe he would let you know he can play higher, however we have to educate higher. All people’s received to be higher for our offensive soccer group to carry out higher.”

Sarkisian stated he thought Ewers confirmed his aggressive facet within the second half, noting, “I am certain he wasn’t the happiest man with me” for taking him out of the sport.

The Longhorns’ rocky displaying was a disappointment for a top-ranked Texas group in entrance of 105,215 in Darrell Ok Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in one of the crucial anticipated video games of the season. However Sarkisian stated in a 12-team playoff period, one loss would not forestall the Longhorns from any of their targets for the remainder of the season.

“Shedding a recreation like this does not kill you,” Sarkisian stated. “It was one recreation. … I believe we are able to sit round right here and throw a pity occasion for ourselves, however I do not know what good that is going to do for us.”

Ewers agreed.

“We misplaced to group at present, and I believe everyone understands that,” Ewers stated. “Clearly not the end result that we needed, however there’s nonetheless a number of soccer to be performed.”

Adam Azim rose to the problem of Ohara Davies, placing the Londoner down twice as he received in type inside eight rounds on the Copper Field Enviornment in London.

Azim hit exhausting dwelling pictures early. Within the first spherical he scored with a beautiful one-two, a blaze of straight punches that Davies took on the chin and will need to have felt.

Davies smiled as he backed off, however certainly he was masking concern. Azim had began quick and was working with menacing intent.

His speedy jabs have been catching Davies and Azim was dictating the motion.

Azim tagged him with a lead left hook, however Davies launched a hefty proper that caught his opponent. That backhand continued to threaten and Azim needed to weave away from it.

Their lengthy jabs battled for place and each unleashed pictures that introduced up gasps from the group.

They landed on one another to finish the third spherical. The 2 have identified one another for years, since Azim was a toddler. However their mutual respect did not forestall both from opening up with heavy artillery.

Azim cracked Davies along with his left hook within the fourth and lined that shot up once more. The smile returned to Davies’ face however Azim ignored it and shifted him to the facet with a proper hook.

Azim hooked his left excellently off the jab and he completed the fourth spherical with a proper uppercut scything via.

The facility-punching was affecting Davies within the fifth spherical. Azim rocked him again, however Davies nonetheless popped a left hook in.

That did not deter Azim who, with a left to the physique, despatched his opponent to the canvas. With enormous punches to comply with that up, he smashed his proper down. Davies was firmly on the retreat, and in determined hassle. His nook had a towel out, poised on the ring apron, contemplating pulling him out as he simply bought via the spherical.

In some way Davies managed to smile on the bell, acknowledging Azim’s work.

The person from Slough was in full circulate although within the subsequent spherical, shrugging off one other defiant left hook from Davies.

Azim continued to topic him to punishment. Davies held on for one more spherical however Azim delivered a sensational end within the eighth.

A straight one-two arrange a clear left hook that smashed the Londoner to his knees at 1:18 of the eighth spherical. Davies couldn’t proceed from there, the referee waving it off even earlier than Davies’ nook crew may pull him out.

“It was my greatest efficiency,” Azim mentioned afterwards. “I needed to be very switched on for him.

“For the entire 13 weeks I have been coaching exhausting. He is my pal, however he is very harmful. He is a world title contender so I’ve bought a lot love for him.”

Davies: This could be the tip

“Adam will go far within the sport of boxing. I carried out my factor, however what? It is time for the younger gun Adam to make his identify and be up there,” Davies mentioned.

“I’ve had my time within the sport of boxing. I have been a professional for over 10 years now. I began boxing in Hackney and I feel this could be the tip of my boxing profession. I feel I would end my boxing profession in the identical borough of Hackney the place I began it.

“I really feel like it’s a must to know when your time is finished. You do not wish to keep on this sport for too lengthy and take an excessive amount of.

“I am match. I’ve nonetheless bought my colleges. I feel this could be the tip of my boxing profession and I am glad it was in opposition to Adam Azim.”
