x/ken-paxton
— Sep 17, 2026
Democrats in Texas are mounting what could be their best statewide challenge in years, with a full slate including Gina Hinojosa for governor and James Talarico for the U.S. Senate as Paxton and Abbott face stiff headwinds amid economic strains and shifting Latino politics, while polls show a near deadlock in the Senate race and Hinojosa trailing in the governor’s contest. In the Legislature, candidates for House District 94 push pro-public-education and affordability platforms, highlighting concerns over school funding and inflation as both parties vie for seats in a historically Republican stronghold.

x/wisconsin
— Sep 19, 2026
Wisconsin rolled to a 54-10 win over Eastern Michigan to finish non-conference play, led by Colton Joseph’s 362 passing yards and three touchdowns and Tyrell Henry’s single-game program-record 14 catches for 160 yards as the offense showed its best form of the regime so far. The defense shed its slow start as special teams produced a key late-turning moment, and the win highlighted a strong receiving corps while the ground game remained inefficient without the lead back, Abu Sama III, prompting ongoing evaluation of the run strategy and rotations.

Las Vegas stands out for its league-leading sacks and top-tier EPA per play due in part to a lockdown secondary, while Pittsburgh’s defense is among the league’s best even as its offense lags, and Dallas and WVU have shown meaningful improvements in coverage and overall standpoints.
