Sporting News

Half-time scores:

Notre Dame 33, Syracuse 27. Syracuse missed a makeable 40-yard field goal at the end or it would have been 33-20. Brian Kelly fired his defensive coordinator but Syracuse is on track to score 54. If Kelly loses this game and the "Irish" fall to 1-4, Kelly's own job will be in jeopardy. No excuses for this.

Iowa State 28, #13 Baylor 2

Oklahoma State 37, #22 Texas 25. Charlie Strong's "D" gave up 50 in a loss to Cal. Okie State is half-way to 74. If this keeps up...see Brian Kelly.

FT EPL:

Swansea 1, Liverpool 2. Livers doing well.

Clubs think they saw in former Livers manager Brendan "Jolly" Rodgers' 3-3 draw with City at Celtic a way to stop Pep's Boys: crowd space around City's players to prevent tiki-taka. We'll see tomorrow at Spurs.
