Yet already the Buffaloes have shown a knack for resiliency.When the Buffaloes traveled to New York to face nationally-ranked Miami, they did so knowing they would play without standout freshman Cody Williams, who was coming off a pair of 21-point games. The Buffs shook it off and dominated the Hurricanes.When senior forward Tristan da Silva rolled an ankle last week just ahead of CU’s Pac-12 Conference opener, a team missing two starters didn’t miss a beat, recording a home sweep to begin league play.The Buffs will need that resiliency more than ever on Thursday night.Just three games into the final Pac-12 slate, CU will face its toughest challenge of the conference schedule when it visits the 10th-ranked Arizona Wildcats at t...Orcas attack gray whales off Southern California coast (video)

SANTA CLARA — With the NFC playoffs’ No. 1-seed already secured, Brock Purdy will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale and Sam Darnold will start against the playoff-bound Los Angeles Rams, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday.Purdy, at this point, is the 49ers’ only healthy scratch for a game that won’t impact playoff positioning for the 49ers (12-4).In turn, the Rams, with a wild-card berth already in hand, will sideline their No. 1 quarterback, Matthew Stafford, and instead go with Carson Wentz, NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo first reported.“Brock’s the only guy for sure I don’t plan on playing,” Shanahan said, before amending that by noting injured players also will get this game off and benefit further from next week’s wild-card bye.The 49ers could potentially host the Rams two weeks later in the divisional round, so Shanahan expects both sides to deploy “vanilla” game plans, though he noted how well each side ...High school girls soccer rankings Jan. 3, 2024: Bay Area News Group Top 15
