By EDDIE PELLS MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Penn State quarterback Drew Allar said he was trying to throw the ball into the ground. Notre Dame defensive back Christian Gray dove for it anyway and — luck of the Irish — the ball ended up right in his hands. A few seconds later, Gray and Notre Dame found themselves with a spot in the national title game after a thrill-a-minute 27-24 victory Thursday night in the Orange Bowl. Gray’s snag of Allar’s ill-advised pass across the middle at the Penn State 42 with 33 seconds left, set up a 19-yard drive that ended with Mitch Jeter’s winning 41-yard field goal. The Irish (14-1), seeded seventh in this, the first 12-team college playoff, will have a chance to bring their 12th title and first since 1988 back under the Golden Dome with a game Jan.

As wildfires spread across Los Angeles, authorities are struggling to contain the blazes, which the public can track via CAL FIRE, a web service provided by the state’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. As of late Thursday, the Sunset fire in Hollywood Hills, which broke out on Wednesday, has been fully contained, while five other fires—including the first and largest Palisades fire as well as the Eaton, Hurst, Kenneth, and Lidia fires—remain active and uncontrolled (threatening to destroy life, property, and natural resources).

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Trying to diagnose the true ceiling of this Colorado Avalanche team has been a season-long challenge, but anyone who wants to believe this club can win 16 playoff games in the spring should point to a sequence Thursday night in the second period. It was also the turning point of a 6-1 victory against the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center.

Members of the Denver Public Schools’ Board of Education scolded colleague John Youngquist on Thursday for a letter he sent last month that accused them of violating the state’s open meeting law and for his treatment of staffers. But in doing so, directors still did not reveal how Youngquist behaved improperly toward staff members beyond his persistent effort to receive full compensation for his public duties. “I’m deeply disappointed in the problematic comportment that I have seen from you this past year,” said board member Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán during the meeting.

Donald Trump went on his piece of shit social media platform and the media to bloviate and rub some hot embers in the eyes of every Californian instead of offering help. He berated President Biden and Governor Newsom over the catastrophic wildfires that have consumed my home and thousands of others from the wildfires that struck Pacific Palisades. Historic winds up to 100 mph were the culprit, spreading fire and burning embers and the blaze throughout the Palisades and many other ordinarily safe locations. Yet, the fucking halfwit shit this out, while the Beltway press grinned and nodded as though it was perfectly normal. REPORTER: On California, Mr.
