Two basketball heavyweights will square off on the gridiron Saturday evening when UConn visits Duke for a non-conference matchup in Durham, N.C. This will be just the fourth all-time meeting between the schools' football teams. The Huskies recorded a 22-20 win in 2004 and a 45-14 victory in 2007 before the Blue Devils responded with a 41-7 decision last season. Most of the offensive stars for Duke (2-0) have moved on since last year's matchup, but UConn (1-1) still will have to contend with wide receiver Jordan Moore. He racked up eight catches for 86 yards and a touchdown in the 2023 meeting. Moore has done plenty of damage this season, as well. He totaled seven catches for 112 yards in the Blue Devils' season-opening win over Elon and then registered 11 grabs for 121 yards and a score in last weekend's 26-20 double-overtime victory over Northwestern. The Blue Devils overcame a foot injury to running back Jaquez Moore against the Wildcats, not to mention a litany of mistakes on the field -- including an interception, a blocked punt, a muffed punt and a missed field goal. "That's just a testament to our culture," Jordan Moore said. "The game's not won in the first quarter. It's won in the fourth or overtime. We keep fighting, we keep giving body blows, and we have faith that every single one of our teammates will make plays." The Huskies are feeling better as well after rolling past FCS foe Merrimack 63-17 last weekend. Joe Fagnano threw for five touchdowns and ran for another score for UConn, which led 56-7 at the break. Fagnano was playing in place of Nick Evers, who suffered a concussion in UConn's season-opening 50-7 loss to Maryland. Evers was just 6 of 17 for 73 yards in that contest before giving way to Fagnano. "Joe was very calm, he read out his progressions, he threw the ball with accuracy, he ran the ball well," Huskies coach Jim Mora Jr. said. "I was very pleased with his performance. ... Nick's situation will be evaluated daily by our medical staff." --Field Level Media.

California and San Diego State will meet for the first time in eight years in a non-conference contest Saturday night in Berkeley, Calif. Both teams have injury concerns as Cal (2-0) seeks its first 3-0 start since 2019, while San Diego State (1-1) hopes to bounce back from a shutout home loss to Oregon State. Cal has yet to get much from star running back Jaydn Ott, who injured his right ankle in the opener against U.C. Davis. He has been a part-time participant in both of Cal's games, totaling just 60 yards on 24 carries. He has scored twice. Ott is considered questionable for Saturday's game, with the Golden Bears perhaps erring on the side of keeping him healthy for next week's Atlantic Coast Conference opener at Florida State. Jaivian Thomas led the Golden Bears in rushing with 53 yards in last week's 21-14 upset win at Auburn. Cal did most of its offensive damage through the air, with Fernando Mendoza throwing for 233 yards and two touchdowns. Cal coach Justin Wilcox began the season planning to split time between Mendoza and transfer Chandler Rogers, but Wilcox announced this week that no longer will be the case. "Fernando will be our starting quarterback," Wilcox declared. "Fernando has done a really good job. ... Obviously last week, especially in the first half, was incredibly efficient. Still really bullish on that (quarterback) room. I think those guys are good football players and can help us win." This week, it's San Diego State that brings quarterback uncertainty into the game, with freshman Danny O'Neil having injured his left knee in the first quarter of last week's 21-0 loss to Oregon State. O'Neil returned to the field for the Aztecs' next possession with a brace on the knee, but finished just 11-of-24 passing for 107 yards. First-year San Diego State coach Sean Lewis expects O'Neil to tough it out again this week, but hopes he'll do a better job protecting himself. "He is a relentless competitor," Lewis praised. "He's willing to sacrifice his own body. We've got to be smart about that. We talk about necessary hits versus unnecessary hits." San Diego State has been led offensively so far by running back Marquez Cooper, who has amassed 276 yards on 40 carries. He has two touchdowns. The teams have split their eight all-time meetings, with the Aztecs winning the most recent game, 45-40 in San Diego in 2016. -Field Level Media.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A 45-year-old Pharr resident has been convicted of unlawfully transporting an undocumented alien, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani. The jury deliberated for approximately one hour before finding Benjamin Ramirez guilty following a one-day trial. Ramirez drove to the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint with a passenger in the front seat, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Law enforcement conducted a routine immigration inspection and determined the passenger was illegally present in the United States. At trial, Ramirez claimed he had no idea the passenger was in the country illegally and that they were traveling to perform mechanical work in San Antonio. The jury did not believe the defense claims and found Ramirez guilty as charged. U.S. District Judge David S. Morales presided over the trial and set sentencing for Dec. 4, at which time Ramirez faces up to five years in federal prison. He was permitted to remain on bond pending that hearing. Customs and Border Protection conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Lamont and Liesel Roscher prosecuted the case.
