Pac-12 football: What to watch during spring practice

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:35:53 GMT

For several Pac-12 teams, spring practice began weeks ago. Some are just underway. Others won’t start for a few more weeks. But in every case, the spring games (i.e., gloried scrimmages) are scheduled for the second half of April.The Hotline has questions about them all.(Note: Listed in chronological order of spring games, and alphabetically. Dates for spring games are tentative.)ArizonaNewcomer to watch: LB Justin Flowe (from Oregon)QB1 status: It’s Jayden de Laura’s job to lose, and he won’t.Outlook: The Wildcats lost gifted receiver Dorian Singer to the transfer portal but have far more holes to fill on defense. The unit struggled last season (6.6 yards-per-play allowed) and is relying on newcomers like Flowe, a former blue-chip recruit, to upgrade the situation. We are particularly intrigued by the defensive line, where several transfers could lock down rotation spots. But most of the questions (culture, philosophy, quarterback hierarchy) associated with ...

By Ali Swenson | Associated PressNEW YORK — As former President Donald Trump braces for a potential indictment related to hush money payments made on his behalf during his 2016 campaign, Republicans blasting the case as politically motivated are blaming a frequent target: George Soros.The 92-year-old billionaire investor and philanthropist — who has been falsely accused of everything from hiring violent rioters to committing election crimes — doesn’t know and didn’t donate directly to the New York prosecutor steering the probe. But that hasn’t stopped Trump and other high-profile Republicans from accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who convened the grand jury investigating Trump, of acting on Soros’ behalf.Trump on Monday used his Truth Social platform to misleadingly claim that Bragg “received in EXCESS OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS” from Soros. Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance tweeted that the prosecutor was “bought by George Soros.” Flor...

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:35:53 GMT

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Renewed fighting has erupted in central Yemen, killing at least 16 forces, security and health officials said Wednesday.The flare-up of violence comes after diplomats and leaders expressed new hope for peace efforts in the war-torn country in the days leading up to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.The fighting flared up Tuesday evening, two security officials and a local tribal leader said, after the Houthi rebels moved on the city of Harib, in the south of the central province of Marib. They said the fighting continued through Wednesday and led to communications being cut in the city and its surroundings.Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis attempted to take control of the oil-rich province for much of 2021. For part of that year, the Houthis held the town of Harib. But their offensive crumbled late last year when the United Arab Emirates-backed forces helped reclaim the nearby Shabwa province before advancing on Marib under air cover from the Saudi-led coalition,...
