MORE: Top ten Crimson Tide stars | Best case/worst case scenario for top teams As recently as last week, Tenpenny, from North Little Rock, Ark., was being described as “the future for the Rebels” with two seasons of eligibility remaining beginning in 2016. According to the Review-Journal, he also considered Ohio State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State before settling on UNLV of the Mountain West because of the school’s relative lack of football pedigree....

The Tide struggled like they hadn’t all season, putting up season-lows in points (24) and yards (305) and giving up four sacks against Tua Tagovailoa, who left the game after getting fairly beat up. Thankfully for Alabama, its defense stood tall to hold MSU to 169 total yards and zero points while sacking Nick Fitzgerald five times. This is also the first time since 1980 Alabama has held consecutive SEC opponents scoreless (Alabama won 29-0 last week against LSU)....

Wawrinka, the tournament’s top seed and reigning champion, proved too strong for Garcia-Lopez whose three wins over the Swiss had all come on clay. So it was an uphill battle from the start. 14 aces and some breathtaking shots made that job even harder as Garcia-Lopez could not cope with the pace and depth of Wawrinka’s shots. This match, from start to finish, lay on Wawrinka’s racquet. The opening game lasted 11 minutes in which Wawrinka won his first two points with some classic backhands, one crosscourt that drew and error and one down the line for a clean winner....

But Allmendinger isn’t thinking about making the 16-driver Chase, which will include the regular-season points leader followed by drivers who win races. Right now, there are just two drivers with wins outside the top 16 in points, so the top 14 in the standings would make the Chase.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed under-fire middle order batsman Ajinkya Rahane despite the latter’s poor run of form in the current India-England series, saying that he is “as good as Virat Kohli in Tests for India”. Speaking to India Today, Ganguly said that there is no danger to Rahane’s spot in the Test team, deeming him as an integral member of the side. He advised the 28-year old to stop thinking much about the dip in form and “take it out of his system”....

Goalkeeper Padt from Groningen is among an initial group of 12 players who head on Saturday to a brief training camp in Portugal. They will be joined there by the other 16 in the course of next week, including defender Ake after the FA Cup final where his Chelsea team take on Arsenal at Wembley on Saturday. The Dutch meet Morocco in Agadir in midweek and then return home to Rotterdam for a second friendly international against the Ivory Coast on June 4 and a World Cup qualifier against neighbours Luxembourg on June 9....

The latest in a long line of headphones manufactured by AKG is the new AKG Y400, a more fashion-focused, budget-friendly option than most of the AKG range. The first thing you’ll notice about the Y400 range are the vibrant colours on offer, including Black, Pink, Green, Blue and Rose Gold, and the high-gloss finish gives the headphones a noticeable sheen. The on-ear cans are also much smaller and daintier than many headphones on the market, and that translates to a much lighter pair of headphones, weighing only 170g....

That leaves Al Jefferson as the Hornets’ last line of defense, but he’s not in position to prevent Bazemore’s layup. Instead, he’s standing at the elbow guarding Al Horford, who, like Millsap, is waiting patiently for a kickout at the 3-point line. Usually Horford would spot-up 16-feet away from the basket, a distance he has grown comfortable from throughout his career. But this is the new-look NBA, where centers venture out beyond the perimeter, and Horford is fully embracing the movement....

Saban, 68, said he told his players earlier Wednesday about his positive COVID-19 test, and that Steve Sarkisian will lead the team during in-person activities and practices. “I informed our team of my positive test at 2 p.m. [CT] today on a Zoom call and let them know offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will oversee preparations at the complex while I work from home,” Saban said in a statement. Saban said he has no symptoms....

Coach Nick Saban’s team was ruthless on offense against the Gators, amassing 605 total yards behind the Heisman-contending trio of Mac Jones (five touchdown passes), DeVante Smith (15 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns) and Najee Harris (five total touchdowns). Saban’s defense was less sturdy at times, allowing Florida to hang around in the second half, but did enough to secure the result. Florida quarterback Kyle Trask was sacked as he tried to lead an improbable comeback in the final seconds....

Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska says it will boycott all FedEx services so long as the company continues to sponsor the Redskins. In doing so, the tribe, one of the nation’s largest, believes its strength in numbers could be enough to hit the NFL franchise where it hurts — its wallet.

It’s all part of the companies “Summer of Responsible Travel”, an eight-point plan that is designed to keep everyone safer as COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions begin to lift.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that even if you are fully vaccinated, and you want to take a trip, you should ideally keep contact only with household members and continue with everyday precautions like wearing a mask, avoiding crowds, and regular handwashing....

According to The Mail On Sunday, Britain’s flagship airline has now ditched the traditional phrase in a bid to “celebrate diversity and inclusion.” Its usage will also be dropped in order to respect wider social norms and also make children feel included, the outlet added. In a statement sent to The Mail On Sunday, British Airways said: “We celebrate diversity and inclusion and we’re committed to ensuring that all our customers feel welcome when traveling with us....

While that’s especially true in booming Asian economies, the pilot crisis is a global one. In a report issued in late November, the Geneva-based International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that the industry would need some 17,000 new pilots annually over the next two decades to keep up with demand. The Asia Pacific Airline Training Symposium estimates that Asian airlines alone would require 6,000 additional pilots per year through 2020....

Without a win so far, Aizawl’s performance in their maiden AFC Cup participation have been disappointing. They have lost four matches and drawn a match – against Abahani Limited Dhaka 1-1 in the first leg – and they are at the bottom of Group E with just one point. The Aizawl based side, playing their matches here as their home ground in Mizoram is not eligible to host AFC matches, have nothing at stake except hoping for their maiden win at the continental stage....

The Amsterdammers have included teenagers Matthijs de Ligt and Kasper Dolberg in their line-up, with players such as Andre Onana, Davinson Sanchez, Jairo Riedewald and Bertrand Traore all 21 or younger. Danish midfielder Lasse Schone is the only player in the Ajax XI to have already passed the 30-year mark. There are few surprises in Jose Mourinho’s United line-up. Marcus Rashford starts up front, flanked by Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata, with captain Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard all on the bench....
