USC women's basketball analyst offers film session on star recruit Jazzy Davidson
We should note this is a different film session from an earlier one we passed along in June. The Under-19 World Cup offered a fresh new environment -- international ball -- in which Jazzy Davidson was able to display her skills and sharpen her game before beginning her college career at USC.
What comes across in Cece's latest video presentation on Jazzy Davidson is that USC is getting a smart and hungry player. The film segments on Davidson show a player who is always moving and is hustling when other players on the court are standing around. Davidson is always looking for a better angle, a better line of attack, a better chance to make a winning play. That trait is combined with floor vision and a generally high basketball IQ which enable Jazzy Davidson to make good reads in halfcourt sets but to also make instinctive plays in traffic with improvisational awareness. If Jazzy Davidson puts it all together this season, USC can still be a great team.

Who are the Top 10 Rushing Leaders in FBS History?
Since the dawn of time, college football has been a land of premier running backs. In fact, a running back has won the sought-after Heisman Trophy 45 times – in 45 individual seasons – since the award was first introduced in 1935. Just last year, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards — the second-most for a player in the history of the sport — and 29 touchdowns, helping him become the runner-up for the 2024 Heisman Trophy Award and get selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There are countless great backs in that history, but sometimes they only start for one or two years given the depth of a powerhouse program and/or players redshirting. On that note, however, which players have the most rushing yards in the history of college football? The Top 10 Rushing Leaders in FBS History 10. Texas RB Cedrick Benson – 5,540 yards Across Benson's four seasons in Austin (2001-04), he was one of the best running backs in the sport in every season. Benson averaged 1,385 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns per season, while leading the Big 12 in rushing scores in both his junior and senior seasons. The consistent force that was Benson was later selected by the Chicago Bears with the No. 4 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. 9. Miami (OH) RB Travis Prentice – 5,596 yards Prentice has an argument for being the best player in MAC football history. Across his three seasons at Miami (OH), Prentice dazzled, leading the conference in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in each of his last three seasons with the program (1997-99), averaging a whopping 20.3 rushing touchdowns per season over that span. Prentice went on to be selected in the third round of the 2000 NFL Draft. 8. USC RB Charles White – 5,598 yards White did it all at USC. He won multiple accolades, was one of the best backs in the nation and won a national championship. A two-time All-American and two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year, White led the Pac-10 in rushing yards in each of his final three seasons with the Trojans (1977-79), rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons and won the 1979 Heisman Trophy Award. Of course, he also won the National Championship with the Trojans in the 1978 season. 7. Oregon RB Royce Freeman – 5,621 yards Freeman came to Oregon and breathed fire from the jump. Across his first two seasons with the Ducks (2014-15), Freeman rushed for 1,600.5 yards and 17.5 touchdowns per season, while leading the Pac-12 in rushing scores in both years on an Oregon team that reached the 2015 National Championship Team. In all, Freeman rushed for 5,621 yards and 60 touchdowns over his four-year collegiate career spent entirely in Eugene. 6. Memphis RB DeAngelo Williams – 6,026 yards Across his four seasons at Memphis from 2002 through 2005, Williams was the best playmaker in Conference USA and pound-for-pound as good as any back in college football. In each of his last three seasons, Williams led the conference in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons and yards per carry in each of his first two seasons. Furthermore, he led the entire sport with 1,964 rushing yards in 2005 and was second with 1,948 rushing yards in 2004. A three-time Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, Williams was selected by the Carolina Panthers with the No. 27 pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. 5. Pittsburgh RB Tony Dorsett – 6,082 yards Dorsett was a force to be reckoned with, rushing for 1,000-plus yards and double-double touchdowns in each of his four seasons at Pittsburgh (1973-76). In 1976, Dorsett rushed for a nation-high with both 1,948 yards and 21 touchdowns, helping him win the Heisman Trophy and leading Pittsburgh to a National Championship. Dorsett was also a finalist for the 1975 Heisman Trophy and went on to be selected with the No. 2 pick in the 1977 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he won a Super Bowl in his rookie season and went on to have a Hall of Fame career. 4. Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor – 6,174 yards Jonathan Taylor had a lot of plays called for him at Wisconsin — like, a lot. In each of his three seasons playing for the Badgers (2017-19), Taylor led the Big Ten in both rushing yards and carries and led the conference in rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons. Furthermore, Taylor led the nation with 2,194 rushing yards in 2018. Over his three-year collegiate career, Taylor, a two-time All-American, rushed for 2,058 yards and 16.7 touchdowns per season, finishing in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy voting in all three seasons. He was the driving force of Wisconsin's offense, and for a team that went 13-1 in his 2017 freshman season. 3. Texas RB Ricky Williams – 6,279 yards Williams was an overwhelming force in the Longhorns' backfield. Already a potent back in his freshman and sophomore seasons, Williams led the nation in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in both 1997 and 1998. In '98, Williams rushed for 2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns on a Big 12-high 5.9 yards per carry en route to winning the Heisman Trophy Award. A two-time All-American and two-time Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, Williams was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 5 pick in the 1999 NFL Draft. 2. Wisconsin RB Ron Dayne – 6,397 yards Good luck trying to bring down the 245-pound Dayne. A rumbling force in the backfield, Dayne led the Big Ten in rushing yards in his freshman, junior and senior seasons and rushing touchdowns in his freshman and senior seasons. Across his four years at Madison from 1996 through 1999, Dayne rushed for 1,599.3 yards and 15.8 touchdowns on 5.7 yards per carry per season. In 1999, Dayne rushed for 1,834 yards and 19 touchdowns — which was tied for first in the nation — helping him win the Heisman Trophy and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors. Dayne was then selected by the New York Giants with the No. 11 pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. 1. San Diego State RB Donnel Pumphrey – 6,405 yards Across his four seasons at San Diego State, Pumphrey just kept running. After an efficient 2013 freshman campaign, Pumphrey proceeded to lead the Mountain West in rushing yards in three consecutive seasons, rushing for 1,884.3 yards and 18 touchdowns per year from 2014-16. In 2016, Pumphrey, who was the 2015 and 2016 Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, led the nation with 2,133 rushing yards and finished in the top 10 in Heisman voting. Pumphrey, whose 6,405 career rushing yards are first in FBS history, was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Check out all of our Daily Rankers .

Collin Morikawa says 'you can't skip over' LIV star for Ryder Cup team
Keegan Bradley pulled a stunner when he confirmed earlier this week, well before captain's picks are due, that Bryson DeChambeau would be a part of the Team USA Ryder Cup team. Since DeChambeau is part of LIV Golf, he can only earn qualifying points through the majors - but with limited opportunities, he has taken advantage. He finished T5 at Augusta, T2 at the PGA Championship, missed the cut at the U.S. Open and then T10 at last week's Open Championship. As it stands, DeChambeau ranks fifth among U.S. golfers for qualifying points - the top six automatically qualify. It's hard to see DeChambeau staying inside that top-six, as he has no more opportunities for FedEx Cup points - but Bradley made his decision, and Collin Morikawa believes it is the right one, despite practically severing his ties with the PGA Tour. "He's one of the best golfers in the world right now. You can't skip over that just because he plays on another tour or whatever," Morikawa, currently ranked eighth but a two-time Ryder Cup attendee, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "He truly is one of the best golfers, and that's what Keegan wants. He wants 12 of the best American golfers to be on that team. And he brings energy. Not all of us bring that type of energy – he brings a crowd of energy through YouTube, what he's doing – shoot, I want to be on that side of the team, too." The move was a no-brainer for Bradley, who could potentially be the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1965. "Bryson is going to be a very important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup," Bradley texted Sports Illustrated. "He brings so much. He brings energy, passion, but most importantly, he's one of the best players on the planet." An emotional DeChambeau spoke with reporters after a roaring comeback in his final round on Sunday, when he shot a 64 to finish tied 10th at Royal Portrush, and he said he spoke "briefly" with Bradley during the week. Then, he saw something "in our lockers that was pretty inspirational." DeChambeau called the message "personal," and kept it to himself. However, he made a strong statement ahead of the Ryder Cup, an event Europe won in 2023 in Italy. "It meant a lot," DeChambeau said of Bradley's trust in him on Team USA. "This year's no joke. We're tired of it. We're tired of losing." The Ryder Cup will be held on Long Island from Sept. 26-28 at the famous Bethpage Black Course. The home team has not lost a Ryder Cup since 2012, when Team Europe stormed back in Sunday singles in the Miracle at Medinah. DeChambeau did not play for Team USA in Rome two years ago, but Brooks Koepka, fresh off a T2 at the Masters and winning the PGA Championship, got the nod from LIV.

Motocross of Nations to return to US in 2028, 2031
Infront Moto Racing, the organizers of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), announced that the 2028 and 2031 editions of the race will be held in the United States. Venues have not yet been announced. The 2025 MXoN will be held on October 3-5 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, marking the United States' turn in what has become a three-year rotation. The previous US-based MXoN was held at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, in 2022. 'Today, we are more than happy to announce the extension of our strong relationship with MX Sports and the organization of a third Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in the USA, which will take place in 2031,' said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing. 'This agreement ensures that the most prestigious off-road event of the year will return to the United States every three years through to 2031. 'I would like to personally thank Carrie and Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter, and the entire MX Sports team for their ongoing support and great collaboration over the years. We cannot wait to be at Ironman Raceway this October to celebrate motocross together with the fans.' This year's MXoN marks the sixth time the international event has been held in the US. In addition to RedBud (2018, 2022), the MXoN has been contested at Unadilla in New York (1987), Budds Creek in Maryland (2007), and Thunder Valley in Colorado (2010). Hosting the MXoN has been beneficial to Team USA, which won in 1987, 2007, 2010, and in the most recent race at RedBud. The 2022 winning team consisted of Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper, and Chase Sexton. 'All of us at MX Sports are honored to be chosen as the long-term partner for this prestigious event,' said Davey Coombs, Vice President of MX Sports, Inc. 'We are excited for our domestic fans who will have the opportunity to attend the Motocross of Nations right here at home, and we also look forward to again welcoming international fans to one of America's premier motocross facilities. We have all been passionate supporters of this event, and we are extremely proud to bring it to the United States through 2031, helping to unite the entire motocross world for many years to come. 'We are very proud to partner with Infront in hosting the Motocross of Nations here in the U.S., and we're fortunate to have numerous options for premier racetracks that would serve as exceptional destinations for this historic event, and we look forward to finding the perfect venue for 2031.'
