Ducks surprise Buckeyes in Columbus

UNDATED (AP) — No. 12 Oregon has put itself in the conversation of serious CFP contenders after knocking off one of last season’s semifinalists.

Third-ranked Ohio State was a 14 1/2-point favorite at home before C.J. Verdell ran for 161 yards and had three touchdowns to lead the Ducks to a 35-28 win over the Buckeyes. Three plays into the second half, Verdell blasted through the middle untouched and outran defensive backs for a 77-yard score, putting Oregon ahead, 21-7. That was part of a Ducks running attack that racked up 269 yards.

Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud passed for 472 yards and three touchdowns. He had a chance to engineer a tying drive before throwing his only interception of the day, picked off by Verone McKinley III at the Oregon 35 with 2:50 remaining.

The 2-0 Ducks were without star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux and linebacker Justin Flowe.

It was Ohio State’s first regular-season loss since October 2018.

TENNIS-US OPEN

Raducanu takes Open crown

NEW YORK (AP) — British teenager Emma Raducanu (rad-oo-CAN’-oo) has successfully completed her unexpected run to the U.S. Open women’s championship.

The 18-year-old qualifier is a Grand Slam champion for the first time following an impressive 6-4, 6-3 win over 19-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez. Raducanu entered ranked 150th before becoming the first woman to win the U.S. Open title without dropping a set since Serena Williams in 2014. She did so after capturing three straight qualifying matches, winning just the second major championship she’s entered.

Raducanu was serving for the match when she slid on the court chasing a ball to her backhand side, bloodying her left knee. A trainer bandaged the cut during a delay of more than four minutes. When they resumed, Raducanu saved a pair of break points, then converted on her third chance to close it with a 108 mph ace.

Raducanu is the first British woman to win a Grand Slam trophy since Virginia Wade at Wimbledon in 1977.

This was the first Grand Slam final between teenagers since Serena Williams defeated Martina Hingis in the 1999 U.S. Open.
