    JON GAMBRELL and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press|Updated Sep 15, 2019

  • AP Top 25 Takeaways: Helton's hot seat; Narduzzi's bad call

    RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer|Updated Sep 14, 2019

    The first step toward Southern California making a coaching change that seems inevitable occurred earlier this week when athletic director Lynn Swann stepped down. USC will hire an experienced AD it can trust to hire a new coach if necessary. On Saturday, the 24th-ranked Trojans (2-1) lost in overtime at BYU and replacing coach Clay Helton looked more necessary. The Cougars have beaten once-great programs the last two weeks, taking down flailing Tennessee and floundering USC, both in OT. Good for BYU, but the Cougars are...

Mine owner Blackjewel LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 1. Worden at first figured the accounts would get settled quickly and vendors of everything from copy paper to p...

    Updated Sep 14, 2019

Lurking on a trash can at the edge of the picture was what prosecutors said delivered this death: an ordinary, U.S. Postal Service envelope. It had arrived with 10 round, blue pills inside, the markings of pharmaceutical-grade oxycodone stamped onto the surface. The young man took out two, crushed and snorted them. But the pills were poison, prosecutors s...
