GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — DJ Lagway threw for a season-high 289 yards and two touchdowns, both to a true freshman making his college debut, and Florida upset No. 9 Texas 29-21 to end a three-game skid. Arch Manning and the Longhorns had a chance in the final minute thanks partly to a defensive penalty, but he threw incomplete deep and was sacked twice.

Wilson showed speed, hands and arguably the most physicality of any Florida receiver in years.

Bubba Wallace calls it a somber week after Denny Hamlin’s controversial move at Kansas Speedway
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Bubba Wallace races in NASCAR for Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan, but Hamlin pushed Wallace into the wall last weekend at Kansas Speedway.

They briefly interacted on pit road after the race but only spoke on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
