Van Persie suffers gruesome eye injury Chelsea has recovered sensationally from its 3-0 defeat to Arsenal over a month ago when Fabregas, who has struggled to make an impression under Antonio Conte, was hauled off in the 54th minute. Willian had also been an automatic starter under Conte, but Pedro is now lining up with Hazard and Costa after outshining the Brazilian with goals and assists in recent weeks during a run which has seen Chelsea rise to second place after 16 goals scored and none conceded...

And why wouldn’t it? No. 9 Penn State took a 26-14 lead in the fourth quarter on No. 4 Ohio State with 8:00 on the clock. Quarterback Trace McSorley, who set a Penn State record with 461 total yards of offense, had the Nittany Lions in position to avenge last year’s 39-38 loss at Ohio Stadium.

The biggest: the continuing deterioration of security since my first assignments here in 2003 and today....
