		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers' first World Series appearance in 44 years has arrived too late for beloved broadcaster Bob Uecker to enjoy, although the former player's family said the current playoff run has kept his spirit alive.</p><p>Uecker, who played from 1962-67 and was a Hall of Fame broadcaster for the Brewers, passed away on Jan. 16, 2025.</p><p>"We are filled with elation and pride, but also longing. A wish that Bob was here to see it, too," the Uecker family said in a statement released Wednesday. "While we could never speak for him, this is certain: Milwaukee, the Brewers, and the fans meant everything to Bob. Wherever we gather -- in a packed stadium, a neighborhood bar, or a living room with the radio turned all the way up -- we know he's right here cheering alongside us."</p><p>The Brewers are set to play host to Game 1 of the World Series on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The franchise's only other World Series appearance came in 1982 when Milwaukee fell to the St. Louis Cardinals as a representative of the American League.</p><p>"To the players -- You believed in each other and the power of friendship," the statement read. "You carried the city with you every time you took the field, making memories that will last a lifetime. Bob would have been so incredibly proud of what you've accomplished."</p><p>But while earning their spot in the World Series last week with a National League Championship Series sweep of the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy took a moment to remember the beloved longtime voice of the franchise.</p><p>"He'd be so happy for the guys," Murphy said of Uecker during the celebration following the NLCS victory. "Those who knew him well are all thinking about Ueck today."</p><p>After batting .200 over six seasons and 297 games for the Milwaukee Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and Cardinals, Uecker's fame grew as a funnyman with appearances alongside Johnny Carson on the "Tonight Show" and in the "Major League" movie franchise.</p><p>Uecker called Brewers games for 54 seasons and was named the recipient of the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award in 2003.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oregon could be looking at another game without quarterback and one-time Heisman Trophy hopeful Dante Moore and top receiver Evan Stewart in Saturday's Big Ten game against Illinois in Champaign, Ill.</p><p>Moore has missed the past two games, a home loss to current No. 9 UCLA and a win at home over Nebraska last weekend. He suffered a concussion in the Sept. 27 win at Southern California.</p><p>Oregon coach Dan Lanning hasn't confirmed who will start at quarterback for the Ducks (4-2, 2-1) against Illinois. Dylan Raiola got the start against the Bruins but struggled to move the offense until he was replaced by Brock Thomas, who started against the Cornhuskers.</p><p>When Thomas could not get into a rhythm, Raiola replaced him and engineered a fourth-quarter comeback that included the game-winning drive.</p><p>The Ducks didn't have Stewart against Nebraska due to an undisclosed injury. Early Sunday, Stewart was arrested on a DUI charge in Springfield, Ore., not far from the Oregon campus.</p><p>Lanning addressed the arrest on Monday.</p><p>"There was a situation this weekend that didn't match our standard here in our program," he said. "There will be appropriate action taken. Still gathering some details with what the situation looks like, but that'll be handled internally."</p><p>Illinois (3-3, 1-2) lost quarterback Katin Houser to a hand injury in its 38-37 overtime win at Michigan State on Oct. 10. Houser has passed for 1,440 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushed for 120 yards and two scores in six games.</p><p>The Fighting Illini were off last weekend but Houser could be out several weeks.</p><p>Freshman Michael Clayton II is expected to make his first collegiate start after coming in for Houser against the Spartans and throwing for 88 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>"He was obviously ecstatic after the game, and (I ) had a long conversation with him ... just kind of about what it means to be a starting quarterback in this league, and in college football," Illinois coach Bret Bielema said of Clayton.</p><p>The last time Oregon and Illinois met, the top-ranked Ducks cruised to a 38-9 win over then-No. 20 Illinois in Eugene, Ore., on Oct. 26, 2024.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran Brandon McManus hoping the third time is the charm at the all-important kicking position.</p><p>With three losses in the past four games by a total of nine points, the Rams were back in the market for a kicker after Blake Grupe's season-ending ACL tear in his debut with the team last week.</p><p>Grupe made a 44-yard field goal, his lone attempt, in the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and was injured while trying to make a tackle on the ensuing kickoff.</p><p>Grupe was signed off the New York Jets' practice squad last week to replace Harrison Mevis, who missed four field goals over the first five games of the season.</p><p>McManus, 35, is the sixth kicker to suit up for the Rams over the past four seasons.</p><p>McManus made 24 of 30 field goals and 32 of 33 extra points in his second season with the Packers in 2025. He missed both of his field-goal attempts (55 and 44 yards) in a 31-27 wild-card playoff loss on the road against the rival Chicago Bears.</p><p>The Packers selected the only kicker taken in the 2026 draft, Florida's Trey Smack, and parted with McManus after one season of his three-year, $15.3-million contract.</p><p>A Super Bowl 50 champion with Denver, McManus played nine seasons with the Broncos (2014-22) and one with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2023) before joining the Packers.</p><p>McManus ranks fifth among active players in points (1,265) and fifth in field goals made (297). He has made 51 field goals of 50-plus yards, including a career-long 61-yarder in 2021.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arizona State will look to bounce back from a lopsided loss on Saturday afternoon in a Big 12 Conference game in Tempe, Ariz., against Kansas State, which is coming off its first conference win of the season.</p><p>The Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2) fell 53-25 on the road last week against then-No. 10 Texas Tech, while the Wildcats (4-2, 1-2) posted a 35-24 home victory over rival Kansas.</p><p>Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham benched starting quarterback Cutter Boley against Texas Tech at halftime and went with senior backup Mikey Keene.</p><p>Boley threw two interceptions -- including one that was returned for a touchdown -- but Keene provided a spark in the second half, completing 25 of 34 passes for 256 yards and two TDs.</p><p>In his weekly press conference Monday, Dillingham refrained from announcing whether Boley or Keene will start against Kansas State.</p><p>"Conference opponent, I'm not gonna get into much detail about that," Dillingham said. "Our players will know. Who knows, it may leak it out. I hope not."</p><p>Dillingham added that he and his staff met for almost four hours Sunday to discuss shortcomings of this year's team and how to avoid "falling short in our plan again" next season.</p><p>The Sun Devils gave up 260 rushing yards and managed only 35 on the ground against Texas Tech.</p><p>Kansas State, meanwhile, produced 568 total yards vs. Kansas, including 359 via rushing. The Wildcats' Avery Johnson threw for 209 yards and ran for 132, and Joe Jackson had a team-high 159 yards on the ground.</p><p>Kansas State has converted 59.3% of its third-down attempts, the second-best rate nationally this season.</p><p>"We have to keep building, we have to keep improving, and keep working our process and keep moving it forward because there's a lot out there for us," Wildcats coach Collin Klein said Monday in his weekly press conference. "We got a big challenge this week in Arizona State. It's a very talented group. ... A lot of respect."</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oklahoma State was rolling after a season-opening loss to Tulsa, reeling off four straight wins and rising to No. 18 in the country, but that momentum was stopped with a close loss at Houston last Saturday.</p><p>The Cowboys (4-2, 2-1) will try to get back into the win column when they face skidding Colorado (2-4, 0-3) in a Big 12 Conference game Saturday night in Stillwater, Okla.</p><p>Oklahoma State rallied but came up short against the then-No. 20 Cougars, who amassed 505 yards of offense in the 35-32 decision that dropped the Cowboys from the AP Top 25 rankings.</p><p>Oklahoma State, which trailed 14-3 at halftime, was missing a big piece on defense with the absence of safety Mose Phillips III due to a shoulder injury suffered Oct. 10 against UCF.</p><p>Cowboys coach Eric Morris said Tuesday that Phillips will miss Saturday's game, too.</p><p>Despite Houston's offensive output, Morris said he wasn't disappointed with his defensive line.</p><p>"Our D-line's doing some really good things right now, so it's definitely not on the D-line," he said Tuesday.</p><p>Morris said quarterback Drew Mestemaker could have played better against Houston, even though the sophomore passed for 365 yards and three touchdowns. Mestemaker completed 22 of 34 passes, with one interception.</p><p>"Probably not his best performance, but he's maybe the toughest kid on our team ... he continued to battle," Morris said. "His competitive character is through the roof ... he gave us a chance at the end."</p><p>Mestemaker will have another chance to win against Colorado, which is giving up an average of 357.2 yards and 25.7 points a game. The Buffaloes have lost their past four games, most recently 27-24 at home to then-No. 11 Utah last week.</p><p>Colorado quarterback Isaac Wilson, who took over the starting role from Julian Lewis against Baylor last month, threw two touchdown passes but had two interceptions in the loss to Utah. But Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders said he still believes in Wilson.</p><p>"Isaac is that guy. So I'm going to keep on loving him, keep on developing him, keep on giving him opportunities," Sanders said.</p><p>The coach said Colorado's second-leading rusher this season, Micah Welch (220 yards on 45 carries), was "hurting" and didn't practice on Tuesday because of a hand injury.</p><p>Welch's status for Saturday's game is uncertain.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maryland football coach Mike Locksley stepped down on Wednesday in what the school called a "mutual decision" amid a 12-game Big Ten losing streak.</p><p>Locksley was 39-54, including 3-0 in bowl games, since he took over the Terrapins program in 2019 -- plus a six-game interim stretch in 2015. His teams were just 10-21 since the start of 2024.</p><p>"Following thoughtful conversations with Coach Locksley, we agreed that a coaching change was in the best interest of Coach Locksley and the Maryland football program," athletic director Jim Smith said.</p><p>Co-defensive coordinator Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will lead the Terrapins (2-5, 0-4) as interim coach for the rest of the season, per the reports.</p><p>Locksley, 56, is earning $6.4 million this season on a contract that runs through the 2028 season. The school owes him a buyout of just under $10 million, per ESPN.</p><p>Locksley fired defensive coordinator Ted Monachino on Sunday on the heels of Saturday's 37-30 home loss against Rutgers, the Terrapins' fifth consecutive defeat.</p><p>Maryland is off this weekend before hosting Illinois on Oct. 31. The Terrapins have not won a Big Ten game since a 27-10 victory at Wisconsin on Sept. 20, 2025.</p><p>Locksley led Maryland to bowl wins in three consecutive seasons from 2021-23.</p>]]></content:encoded>
