Montreal Alouettes pass receiver Austin Mack is quietly preparing for next season, and he used the offseason to train with an NFL team, and why not try to impress the latter with his performance?

In fact, according to information from the website 3DownNation, Mack worked out with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday. The Georgia-based organization only has one game left on its regular schedule this season against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

The visitors were flying at 153 for 4. Then came the miraculous slip

ESPNcricinfo Staff03. January 2024 • 40 minutes ago

KL Rahul was the first of three wickets to fall in an over off Lungi Ngidi Gallo Images/Getty Images

The oldest form of cricket seems tailor-made for the newest expression. Memes. And the first day of the match in Cape Town between India and South Africa was full of breathtaking action. It was “just like a wow”. But here the Ws just kept coming. South Africa were bowled out for 55 and soon after, India lost their last six wickets for zero runs. Here's how ESPNcricinfo's commentators recorded the amazing phase of the game.

33.1 Ngidi to Rahul, OUT

There's the edge! Free shot from Rahul and it's Ngidi's extra bounce that does the trick. Rahul couldn't resist going for the upper cut when he saw how short and wide it was, but the ball was just a bit too close for him. Rahul only managed very weak crosses to the goalkeeper.

Jadeja comes in and Ngidi throws around the wicket

33.2 Ngidi to Jadeja, no run

Jadeja comes next to the line and deflects this short ball throw into the offside.

33.3 Ngidi to Jadeja, OUT

Two in the over and it's the extra bounce that brings Jadeja down! In short, the ball ducks back frighteningly to surprise Jadeja. He can't suppress it and tries to get out of the way, but the ball jumps out of the glove as Jansen makes a good deep catch in the gully.

33.4 Ngidi to Bumrah, no run

Stands tall but manages to defend himself when he gets behind the line.

India's Fall of Wickets ESPNcricinfo Ltd

33.5 Ngidi to Bumrah, AUS

That's the third goal for South Africa and they storm back. In short, Bumrah doesn't get behind the line, is confused and the steep bounce takes over as the ball bounces off the bat's shoulder and into the deep.

33.6 Ngidi to Siraj, no run

Increases jump power and defends. Triple wicket over.

34.1 Rabada to Kohli, no run

Beaten. A long ball just outside the offside. Kohli goes for the drive and misses.

34.2 Rabada to Kohli, OUT

Kohli goes too! A long ball in the channel. He hesitantly pushes towards it, gets an outside edge that goes deep to second slip, where Markram completes a tumbling catch. Kohli waits near the boundary line; It looks like they are checking to see if the catch was clean. It was.

34.3 Rabada to Prasidh, no run

Fully outside. Directed to the rear point.

34.4 Rabada to Prasidh, OUT

Chaos. Chaos. Now an exit. A full ball all around. Prasidh pushes it towards middle. Siraj heads for a single but Burger catches the ball at short midwicket. Prasidh sends Siraj back but it is of no use. Burger takes a few steps towards the stumps and flicks the ball towards them to hit Siraj.

34.5 Rabada to Prasidh, OUT

Everything is over. India have lost their last six wickets without adding another run. Fully outside. Mukesh lets his bat out, gets an outside edge shot and Markram from the second slip hits another, leaping to the left and reaching it with both hands.

A total of 602 games: That's what it took for Connor McDavid to reach the plateau of 900 points in the National Hockey League (NHL), which allows him to compare favorably with several legends of the scene.

In fact, the Edmonton Oilers captain is the fifth fastest to do so. Wayne Gretzky (385 games) and Mario Lemieux (463) are true unicorns in this category, but McDavid has a similar performance to Mike Bossy (582) and Peter Stastny (599).

The Ontario native scored his 10th five-point game of his career on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, increasing his point total to 903 points. The 26-year-old obviously only had his team's 5-2 victory in mind, their sixth in a row.

“It's another interesting step, an opportunity to reflect on the work that has been done,” McDavid initially mentioned in the press interview before branching off. It's a team that works hard and doesn't give much away. They defended really well, but we didn't give up. I found this Stuart [Skinner] made some excellent saves. We found ways to score and it was a great win.”

The humbleness of the NHL's brightest star surprises no one. You have to look to your teammates for praise.

“To him it’s just another number; He's just happy to have won since he knows him. He is a generational talent. “It’s pretty special in the era we play in to see him in the same category as these guys,” said his linemate Zach Hyman.

“I don’t think anyone in recent history has come close to that. “It’s pretty amazing and special to have the opportunity to play with him,” the former Toronto Maple Leafs added.

The click

However, McDavid had some struggles early in the campaign, even falling below the points-per-game mark, which was far from his standards. A bit like when Martin St-Louis managed to revive Cole Caufield upon his arrival in Montreal in 2021-2022, the turnaround exploded as soon as Kris Knoblauch was put at the helm of the Oilers.

Since being hired on Nov. 13, McDavid has only been left off the scoresheet twice. During this time he collected 43 points in 22 games.

“It looked pretty easy to him. It was beautiful to watch him fly around the ice and make incredible plays all night long. I can't believe he just made it [16 min 35 s] the playing time,” analyzed the head coach, who is just starting to get used to his protégé’s pace.

“It's remarkable what he's done, but it never surprises me. I'm past that phase where he surprises me because he does so much. I just like to enjoy it,” Knoblauch said.

The Oilers continue to climb the table and have moved to fourth place in the Pacific Division. They face the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Michigan beats Alabama in the CFP semifinals and advances to the national championship

Michigan ousted Alabama and is on its way to the national championship. That's why we enlisted the help of college football star Matt Leinart to find out what makes the Wolverines so special.

There is only one game left before the season break: Michigan will face Washington next Monday in the national championship game of the College Football Playoff.

This was a big postseason for the Wolverines, who finally got over the playoff hurdle by defeating Alabama in the Rose Bowl and will have a chance to win the program's first undivided national title since 1948.

In the second semifinal, Washington edged Texas thanks to a memorable night from senior quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the game's offensive MVP.

While the Crimson Tide fell short, this was a pretty positive bowl season for the SEC. Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Missouri earned victories against the Power Five, with the Bulldogs recovering from their first loss in two years to post a 60-point win over Florida State.

With only the national title left to decide, these teams are the biggest winners and losers of bowl season:

WINNER

Michigan

After two straight playoff losses to Georgia and TCU, Michigan took a big step forward as a program with a 27-20 overtime win over Alabama in the Rose Bowl. The second overtime game in playoff semifinal history ended with a puzzling decision: Alabama ran quarterback Jalen Milroe right into the teeth of the Michigan defense on fourth-and-goal. This stop tells the story of the entire year for the Wolverines, who were simply the more physical and aggressive opponent in big wins against Penn State, Ohio State and the Tide.

Washington

The Sugar Bowl win over the Longhorns answered all the lingering questions about whether Washington can match the physical prowess of the other three teams in this year's playoffs. And the Huskies can add some elite quarterback play: Penix was outstanding against Texas, as was his strong and experienced receiver corps. While the Huskies enter the matchup with the Wolverines as slight underdogs, they are clearly prepared to win another game and bring the Pac-12 another national championship before the league closes shop.

Tennessee

The Volunteers got an early glimpse of the future under young quarterback Nico Iamaleava when they defeated Iowa 35-0 in the Citrus Bowl. In his first career start, the former five-star recruit completed 12 of 19 attempts for 151 yards and a touchdown while scoring three scores on the ground. Overall, Tennessee's 383 yards of offense were the second most Iowa had allowed all season, trailing the 397 yards posted by Penn State in late September.

Mississippi

After a 38-25 win over Penn State in the Peach Bowl, the Ole Miss hype train is ready to leave the station. The win, dismissed all year for coming up well short in key games against Alabama and Georgia, validates the Rebels' rise under Lane Kiffin and, along with the arrival of the nation's top transfer class, provides a major boost to the roster from Ole Miss to the top teams in the SEC heading into the 2024 season. With the impending return of quarterback Jaxson Dart, you can see why the train could be filling up.

Missouri

Missouri was held in check by Ohio State's defense until the final drive of the third quarter and managed two scoring drives of at least 90 yards in the final 20 minutes to beat the Buckeyes 14-3 in the Cotton Bowl. With wide receiver Luther Burden mostly held under control until a late touchdown, the Tigers' offense continued to rely heavily on All-America running back Cody Schrader, who finished the game with 29 carries for 128 yards and a score. Missouri went 11-2 in this breakout season under coach Eli Drinkwitz and was projected to finish in the top seven in the final USA LBM Coaches Poll.

Kansas

A nine-win season for Kansas? The program continues to skyrocket under coach Lance Leipold, who inherited the worst program in the Power Five by a wide margin, but has made the Jayhawks one of the top teams in the new-look Big 12. As expected, Kansas went into the offensive shootout in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against UNLV, with 449 passing yards and six touchdowns from Jason Bean and 591 yards of total offense to win 49-36.

Northwest

What a year it has been for Northwestern, which hit one of its all-time lows in the program during the summer hazing scandal but managed to win eight games under new coach David Braun. That included a 14-7 Las Vegas Bowl win over Utah that was painful for the offensive playmakers and ended with just 211 yards and three turnovers.

LOSER

Alabama

Down 17-13 with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Alabama missed a chance to hold off the Wolverines and had to settle for a 52-yard field goal. That opened the door for Michigan to tie the game with 1:34 remaining in regulation and then win it in an extra frame thanks to Blake Corum's 17-yard score and defensive stop. While both teams made mistakes, it was the Tide who came up short in a rare semifinal loss to Nick Saban. Ultimately, Alabama deserves to be applauded for getting to this point after such a slow start in September, but it wasn't quite prepared to win the national title.

Texas

Washington held possession for over 36 minutes and prevented the Texas offense from getting into a rhythm. Still, one has to wonder why the Longhorns haven't committed more to the running game given their consistent success on the ground. Ultimately, the turnovers were the difference between winning at home and making it to the title game. Texas didn't do a good job protecting the football and paid the price. This is a program that is on the rise under Steve Sarkisian, but you never know when opportunities like this will arise.

Ohio State

Playing without former starting quarterback Kyle McCord and star wide receiver Marvin Harrison – and then without McCord's replacement Devin Brown, who suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter – Ohio State managed just one in a 14-3 loss to Missouri 203 yards of offense. With McCord now at Syracuse and Harrison heading to the NFL, there are some big questions about the state of this offense next season. The loss is coach Ryan Day's fourth in six postseason games.

State of Florida

It wasn't fair from the start: FSU played without anything close to a full deck of players after losing dozens to the optouts and the transfer portal, which quickly led to the ugliest outcome of the bowl season. Georgia's 63-3 win over the Seminoles in the Orange Bowl solidifies the Bulldogs' position as perhaps the team to beat in 2024. How you view the loss from FSU's perspective may depend on how you viewed the makeup of the four-team playoff: If you thought the 'Noles never deserved to be there, then here's a decent loss from 60 points as proof. But if you believe FSU should have been in the top four as the FBS' third undefeated team, it's easy to look at the depleted roster and call the bowl matchup an incomplete representation of the Seminoles' season.

Auburn

After the 31-13 loss to Maryland in the Music City Bowl, Auburn coach Hugh Freeze admitted that he “didn't get too involved in the Tigers' offensive game plan because of recruiting.” That may be true – I mean, it has to be, because it would be stupid to say otherwise – but the public admission makes you wonder: With a salary of $6.5 million a year, you can't train at Freeze at the same time and recruit? Seems like other coaches are doing that, but who knows.

Miami (Florida)

It's been a year for Miami. On the one hand, the Hurricanes defeated Texas A&M and Clemson en route to bowl eligibility after finishing with a losing record in Mario Cristobal's debut season. On the other hand, they lost 31-24 to Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl. That ended a season-ending swoon of four losses in five games for Miami, which appeared poised in early November to build serious momentum for 2024 but instead limps into the offseason with a new low.

SMU

Future ACC member SMU got a glimpse of life in the current Power Five league with a very humiliating 23-14 loss in the Fenway Bowl to Boston College, which finished 10th in the conference standings. There are better teams in the ACC than the Eagles, I will give everyone my due respect. The Mustangs are also giving up nine years of payouts from the ACC television contract to join, something the league will surely appreciate.

North Carolina

After going 6-0, North Carolina capped its second-half collapse with a 30-10 loss to West Virginia in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. The only advantage of the loss: Mack Brown didn't have to be covered in mayonnaise. Otherwise, this was a major disappointment for the Tar Heels, who gave up a touchdown on the first play and couldn't get anything going on offense behind young quarterback Connor Harrell, heir apparent to NFL-bound Drake Maye.

Eastern Michigan

As if the 69-10 loss to South Alabama in the 68 Ventures Bowl wasn't bad enough, Eastern Michigan punctuated the loss with an on-field brawl while the Jaguars gathered to sing the school's fight song. That's a black eye that dwarfs even a 59-point destruction, if that's even possible.
