Purdue has a +323 scoring differential, topping opponents by 14.6 points per game. It is putting up 83.6 points per game to rank 45th in college basketball and is giving up 69 per contest to rank 66th in college basketball. Purdue is 98th in college basketball at 33.9 rebounds per game. That's 7.2 more than the 26.7 its opponents average.
The Big Ten Conference announced on Tuesday the opponents new head coach Bob Chesney and the Bruins will face during the 2026 season. Whether the games will be played at the Rose Bowl or SoFi Stadium remains to be determined, but the Bruins will not be suiting up against Curt Cignetti and defending national champion Indiana. UCLA will hard launch the Chesney era on the road against rival California on Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
Oregon starting quarterback Dante Moore has not declared his decision on entering the NFL draft or staying in school. The Ducks continued to recruit Raiola regardless, raising the possibility that he could serve as Moore's backup and redshirt next season. Raiola is currently recovering from a broken right fibula suffered in a loss to USC on Nov. 1. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound sophomore threw for 2,000 yards on 72.4% passing with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions over nine games before the season-ending injury.
It had been a performance impressive in its nothingness. Zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, zero steals and zero blocks in 15 minutes. The only tangible statistical sign that UCLA's Eric Dailey Jr. had played against Washington earlier this week came in the four fouls that he logged, which contributed mightily to his struggles across the board. So it was encouraging for the Bruins to see their usually productive forward back to his old ways Saturday.
It would take Riley nearly three years - and plenty of ups and downs - to return to that same place, only this time to have the door slammed shut by No. 7 Oregon in a 42-27 loss that all but eliminated the Trojans' hopes of a first-ever playoff invite. USC will settle once again for a second-tier bowl game, while the Ducks are likely to be one of three Big Ten teams to host a playoff game.
Where he excels: Moore has been among the biggest risers in the country regardless of position thanks to his accuracy and poise. After starting his career at UCLA in 2023 and then transferring to Oregon and sitting behind Dillon Gabriel last season, Moore has been given the keys to the Ducks' attack this season. He has flourished in the first five games, throwing for 1,210 yards, 14 touchdown passes and 1 interception while showcasing a smooth, compact release.
To complement blue jerseys and white pants, the team will wear 1980s replica helmets for their Friday night game against the Kansas State Wildcats. Arizona's white throwback helmet features red, white and blue stripes in the middle, blue paw prints and a gleaming red "A" on the side. History never looked so good. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/DatkPNf39V- Arizona Football (@ArizonaFBall) September 10, 2025 The Wildcats aren't the only squad bringing the heat with their uniforms this weekend.
EUGENE. Ore. -- The Oregon Duck lost his head in the run up to the team's opener against Montana State on Saturday. No, it wasn't out of excitement for the game. The mascot was running out on the field at Autzen Stadium when he tripped and the head of his costume flew off. The headless Duck sprinted back into the tunnel while a helper grabbed the head and ran after him.
