- Former Heisman winner Desmond Howard questioned whether Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith shows up in big games, drawing a public rebuttal from fellow Heisman winner Robert Griffin III on air.
- Smith answered on the field with 11 catches for 117 yards and a TD in the win — and became the Big Ten's all-time leading receiver (3,875 yards).
- His Heisman odds jumped to clear favorite (-145), backed by huge numbers vs. ranked teams this season (30 catches, 571 yards, 5 TDs in four games).
The news, distilled into what matters.
- TreVeyon Henderson was placed on injured reserve after an unexpected neurological medical emergency that required hospitalization; no timetable for his return.
- He missed the last two games and will be out at least four more weeks, though he could miss additional time.
- It’s been a slow start — 203 yards and 1 TD in six games — surprising given his Ohio State pedigree and status as a 2025 second‑round pick.
- Surprise move: Mauricio Pochettino — who had extended his USMNT contract through 2030 — was named Manchester United manager on Nov. 13 and will still lead the U.S. for two final games vs. Haiti before taking charge at Old Trafford for the Nov. 22 trip to Liverpool.
- Reported buyout: Manchester United paid about $10M to release Pochettino (plus $2M for his staff), money U.S. Soccer says will help hire new coaches.
- Unusual situation: It’s rare for a coach to be in charge of club and country at once — the most notorious recent parallel was Julen Lopetegui’s abrupt Real Madrid appointment two days before the 2018 World Cup.
- Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith became the Big Ten’s all-time receiving yards leader (3,875) with a 22-yard catch in the win over Northwestern.
- He finished the game with 11 catches for 117 yards and a TD and now leads the Big Ten with 80 catches, 1,317 yards and 15 TDs — making him a clear 2026 Heisman frontrunner.
- Coach Ryan Day praised Smith as an “ultimate competitor” and team leader, while Smith credited hard work and said the main focus was getting the win.
- Tom Brady calls his time at Michigan "complicated" but says those 4.5 years shaped who he became.
- He admits choosing Michigan meant hardship and no guaranteed success — but wouldn’t change it.
- Brady and Jim Harbaugh co-executive produced FOX’s two-part doc "The Team: Michigan Football," airing Nov. 27 and Dec. 12 around the Michigan–Ohio State game.
- Erling Haaland scored a cool, VAR-checked 85th-minute penalty to seal Norway’s 3-1 Nations League win over Wales.
- The Manchester City striker extended his Norway record to 66 goals in 60 games — a scoring rate rarely seen since Gerd Müller.
- Haaland also set up a goal for Andreas Schjelderup, Antonio Nusa opened the scoring, and David Brooks pulled one back for Wales.
