UL running back Bill Davis (7) breaks around the corner for a 24-yard touchdown run to ice the victory over ULM on Saturday. Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save 1. Running game does it Over the last two weeks, the style of football favored new starting quarterback Chandler Fields. On Saturday in Monday, ULM’s defense made it tougher on the passing game, shifting the focus back to UL’s rushing attack and it responded. Zylan Perry didn’t just return to action, he dominated with 150 yards and two touchdowns. Bill Davis also helped with 78 more and two scores. It allowed UL to hold off ULM’s pressure defense that stifled the Cajuns throughout the first half. It also helped the Cajuns run out the clock in the second half against a game Warhawks squad in search of getting bowl eligible. 2. Defense as needed There were some things about Saturday’s win the defensive coaches won’t particularly like when watching the film. ULM running back Ahmad Hardy rushed for 172 yards and allowed seven third-down conversions to one of the Sun Belt’s worst offenses. But the defense also got three interceptions and three critical sacks that prevented points on the board – one led to intentional grounding and another to a short field goal. As usual, linebacker K.C. Ossai had a team-high 13 tackles and fittingly an interception to sew up the win. It’ll likely require a better effort next Saturday, but it was good enough for win No. 10. 3. Another slow start Perhaps there’s something to following up a 50-point effort, or perhaps it’s more about being the frontrunner after the great start and teams are gunning for UL. It could also be that injuries are mounting and the Cajuns aren’t as dominant as they were a month ago. Whatever the reason, the Cajuns better solve it before Saturday’s Sun Belt title game. This was probably the worst first half offensively this season – with two turnovers for the second time in three games. Still, the Cajuns were able to post 21 first downs and 411 total yards to tag a sixth straight loss on the Warhawks.conditioning cockfighting vitamins 。

After withdrawing his nomination , former Rep. Matt Gaetz will not be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general. For some, including fellow Republicans, this may not have been such a shock, considering he was a controversial pick from the beginning due to sexual misconduct allegations . Gaetz, who represented Florida's 1st congressional district from January 2017 until his resignation in November 2024, announced his withdrawal on Thursday. "It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition," Gaetz wrote on Thursday in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General." Trump commented on Gaetz's withdrawal on Truth Social , saying his fellow Republican "was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect." Trump's nomination of Gaetz came as the House Ethics Committee, a bipartisan panel equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, was concluding its three-year investigation into the former congressman concerning allegations of sexual misconduct with a 17-year-girl, illegal drug use and the acceptance of "improper gifts." Gaetz resigned before the committee announced the results of its investigation, and it is unclear if the group's findings will ever be released. They are scheduled to reconvene on Dec. 5 to discuss the matter further. Here's what to know about Gaetz and why many saw him as a questionable pick for attorney general. Who is Matt Gaetz? Gaetz grew up in Hollywood, Florida, and was introduced to politics by his father Don Gaetz, a businessman and current member of the Florida State Senate. Matt Gaetz would go on to serve in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 until 2016, where he became nationally recognized for defending the state's "stand-your-ground law." The 42-year-old then got elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016 and was re-elected in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. In 2021, the Justice Department – which Gaetz would have led if he became attorney general – was investigating Gaetz for child sex trafficking and the statutory rape of a 17-year-old girl who the former congressman allegedly paid to travel across state lines for sexual favors. The DOJ ultimately dropped the probe into Gaetz and did not file any charges against him. Although the DOJ stopped its investigation, the House Ethics Committee continued theirs up until Gaetz's resignation this year. Why were Republicans skeptical about Gaetz's nomination? Despite the GOP controlling the U.S. Senate 53-47 next year, Gaetz's withdrawal signals there may not have been enough Republicans willing to support Trump's controversial nominee. Republican senators, including Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), questioned Gaetz's selection before his confirmation hearing. Murkowski called Trump's choice not "a serious nomination," while Collins said she was "shocked" to learn about Gaetz's selection and indicated that "there will be a lot of questions raised at his hearing." While speaking with CNN on Monday, Texas Sen. John Cornyn said, "Whether we get the ethics report or not, the facts are going to come out one way or the other, and I would think it would be in everybody’s best interest, including the president’s, not to be surprised by some information that might come out during the confirmation hearing and the background check." "So we're going to do our job and under the Constitution and in the process, I believe, provide the president some assurance that he knows exactly what the facts are about each of his nominees." What is next for Matt Gaetz? It is unclear whether Gaetz, who was reelected this year, will reclaim his seat in the House come January, which is when his next term was set to begin. The release of the House Ethics Committee's report on Gaetz remains uncertain, and the former congressman's political future could hang in the balance depending on the group's findings. Gaetz could also face further legal issues, as a Florida lawyer who represented two women in the House Ethics Committee investigation into the former congressman accused the politician of paying them for sex . One of the women said she witnessed Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old, according to reports from the Washington Post and ABC News , both of which spoke with attorney Joel Leppard, who represented the two women. On Monday, Alex Pfeiffer, a spokesperson for Trump's transition, called the allegations against Gaetz a "baseless" attempt to derail the president-elect's upcoming administration. "The Biden Justice Department investigated Gaetz for years and cleared him of wrongdoing," Pfeiffer wrote in a statement obtained by USA TODAY. "Matt Gaetz will be the next Attorney General. He’s the right man for the job and will end the weaponization of our justice system."

URBANA — A California conman who fleeced investors of more than $22 million — with some 50 of his victims located in Central Illinois — has been sent to prison for more than 15 years. Brett Bartlett, 37, had pleaded guilty to wire fraud, mail fraud, securities fraud and money laundering. He was sentenced to 188 months, or 15 years and eight months. A news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of Illinois said the Central Illinois victims were among more than 1,000 investors caught-up in Bartlett’s web of deceit and lies. The defendant had lured them in with promises of returns up to 40% on his California-based companies called Dynasty Toys and the 7M E-group. Bartlett said he would make a fortune buying at liquidation sales and reselling online. He also offered Dynasty Toys preferred stock shares, selling them with the claim they would double in value. But federal prosecutors say the whole thing was an elaborate hoax built on deceit. And prosecutors say he tried to keep it all going, even as the whole venture fell apart, while looting yet more money for himself. The news release said he was busy mailing out checks in May of 2020 to Central Illinois investors that totaled millions of dollars, but all of the checks bounced. “Nonetheless, after that, Bartlett transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to his personal bank account and took his family members and employees to a luxury business retreat at Big Bear Lake in California,” according to the release. Bartlett was sentenced Nov. 25 when he appeared in federal court in Urbana. He was also ordered to pay back $22,502,092.66 in restitution. “The defendant’s reprehensible conduct had life-changing and devastating repercussions for his victims in Central Illinois and across the country,” said U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Harris in a statement. Bartlett was exposed in an investigation involving the FBI and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation — Office of Inspector General. “Brett Bartlett’s greed left a trail of victims in the path of his fraudulent schemes,” said FBI Springfield Special Agent in Charge Christopher Johnson. “And while the victims’ lives and financial futures were sadly changed forever, this significant sentence brings justice.” Victim impact statements that were part of the sentencing proceedings described the pain of families and retired couples who had lost their life-savings and pensions. One family wrote: “Bartlett invoked faith, God, our families, his own family, and used every trick in trying to make his investors trust him. This loss from his crime altered several of our plans for retirement. It created stress and anger, ruined relationships, caused us to distrust more and more, and simply took the joy out of our lives.” The exact locations of the communities where the various victims lived has not been revealed, but federal officials said they were dotted throughout the Central Illinois area.Red Paperclip Faith

SecureAuth Acquires SessionGuardian, Adds its Biometric Continuous Identity Assurance to Enhance Protection of Sensitive Information in a Remote-First WorldCOLLEGE STATION, Texas — Quintrevion Wisner ran for a career-high 186 yards and Quinn Ewers threw a touchdown pass to lead No. 3 Texas to a 17-7 win over 20th-ranked archrival Texas A&M on Saturday night, sending the Longhorns to the Southeastern Conference championship game. Texas (11-1, 7-1 SEC, No. 3 CFP) will face No. 6 Georgia next Saturday in Atlanta for the SEC title, with the winner getting a first-round bye in the 12-team College Football Playoff. The highly anticipated return of this rivalry, which dates to the 1890s, had all the hype of a heavyweight title bout. It looked to be headed for a blowout after Texas raced to a 17-0 halftime lead. But Ewers turned the ball over in the red zone on consecutive possessions to keep the Aggies in the game, the first giveaway an interception that Will Lee III returned 93 yards for a touchdown. Texas A&M (8-4, 5-3, No. 20 CFP) had a shot to cut the lead to three with about 4 1/2 minutes remaining, but Ethan Burke dropped Amari Daniels for a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1. The Longhorns stopped the Aggies on three fourth downs on the night. Backup quarterback Arch Manning ran for a score early to help Texas get its 11th straight win on an opponent’s home field and its fifth consecutive victory overall since a 30-15 home loss to Georgia. The Longhorns get a rematch next week. The crowd of 109,028 included Texas superfan Matthew McConaughey, A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, former Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Credit: AP/Sam Craft DJ Hicks tipped the pass that Lee intercepted and returned 93 yards for the touchdown to cut the lead to 17-7 with about six minutes left in the third quarter. The Aggies' defense came up big again on the next possession when Cashius Howell stripped the ball from Ewers and it was recovered by Taurean York at the A&M 11 near the end of the third. Texas A&M failed to cash in on that error and punted. The Aggies blocked a punt by the Longhorns on their next drive to get the ball back in the red zone. But the Longhorns’ defense secured the win after Texas failed to score after halftime. The Longhorns made it 7-0 when a video review confirmed that Manning scored on a 15-yard run on fourth-and-2 with about three minutes left in the first quarter. It capped a 93-yard drive that started after Michael Taaffe intercepted Reed to give Texas at least one takeaway in 20 straight games.

Credit: AP/Sam Craft Ewers connected with Jaydon Blue on a 7-yard TD pass that pushed the lead to 14-0 with about eight minutes left in the second. It was initially ruled an incomplete pass, but a review showed he had a foot in bounds for the score. Matthew Golden had a 44-yard reception on that drive. The scene around Kyle Field before the game was almost as entertaining as the game itself. Former A&M coach R.C. Slocum used a miniature chainsaw to saw the horns off a longhorn that tailgaters were cooking across from the stadium. The university police said a man riding a horse and another riding a longhorn while holding a dog and wearing a 10-gallon hat were asked to leave campus hours before the game. Police also said two men “wearing reflective vests and hard hats entered the stadium with fake construction credentials” and were arrested for criminal trespass. The takeaway Texas will need to clean up its mistakes be more consistent on offense as it heads into the conference title game and likely the playoff. Up next Texas moves on to face the Bulldogs. The Aggies wait to see which bowl game they’ll play in to wrap up another disappointing season.
