Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto’s patience paid off in fourth quarter vs. Browns. Is he on verge of another hot streak?

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 02:14:40 GMT

The fourth-quarter blast of big plays probably felt like a long time coming for Nik Bonitto.With the Broncos leading by two scores and Cleveland down to No. 3 quarterback P.J. Walker, Bonitto and the Denver front seven revved up the pass-rush engine.He ripped around the left side for a sack on a second-and-11 early in the fourth.On the next play, he nearly forced Walker to fumble but got enough of the ball to ensure a third-and-15 pass fluttered harmlessly to the ground.Then Bonitto capped off the 29-12 win by meeting defensive lineman Zach Allen and dragging Walker down in the end zone for a safety.Bonitto had worked the entire day to chase Cleveland out of their preferred offensive style — being able to lean on a big offensive line and powerful run game — and finally in the end reaped the reward.It’s similar, in a way, to the patience required of Bonitto in recent weeks. He got off to a fast start this season, racking up 5.5 sacks over the Broncos’ first five games. Then the...

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 02:14:40 GMT

San Jose State coach Brent Brennan said Monday night his team was “devastated” after a computer tiebreaker left the Spartans out of this weekend’s Mountain West championship game, and sidestepped questions about his candidacy in Oregon State’s head coach search.Brennan, who was the Beavers’ wide receivers coach from 2011-2016, did not address his potential interest as Jonathan Smith’s successor, but said having his name linked to the Power 5 opening was a sign that the SJSU program is heading in the right direction.“Oregon State was a really special place to be for my family,” Brennan said Monday. “I think people reaching out to us about stuff like that means we’re doing something right here.”The Spartans (7-5, 6-2 MW) ended the regular season with a six-game winning streak and are going to a bowl for the second year in a row – the first time SJSU has done that since 1986-87.SJSU finished in a three-way tie with UNLV (9-2, 6-2 MW) and Boise State (7-5, 6-2 MW) but was the odd ...

Pac-12 lawsuit: New court ruling keeps conference frozen as WSU, OSU seek full control

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 02:14:40 GMT

The Washington Supreme Court on Tuesday granted an emergency stay in the Pac-12’s ongoing legal fight that further delays attempts by Washington State and Oregon State to take control of the conference’s governing board.But the ruling was issued by the Supreme Court’s commissioner, not the judges on the court. As a result, WSU and OSU plan to appeal directly to the judges and request that they remove the stay to allow a critical preliminary injunction to take effect.That injunction, granted last month by a lower court, gave WSU and OSU control of the Pac-12 board and the financial assets that are vital to the schools left behind in the realignment game.The court commissioner’s ruling also set Dec. 12 as the deadline for all motions in the case. At that point, or soon thereafter, the Supreme Court judges will decide whether to take the case for review.In other words, a barrage of motions and stays are unfolding before the plaintiffs (the remaining ‘Pac-2...
