Thursday’s Sports

NHL

The NHL is following other leagues and U.S. government guidance by cutting COVID-19 isolation times for players and personnel to five days under certain conditions and where it is allowed by local laws. The change went into effect Wednesday and applies only in the U.S. because of stricter pandemic regulations in Canada. The league has 25 teams based in the U.S. and seven in Canada.

COLLEGE

#16 Oklahoma (11-2) 47 – #14 Oregon (10-4) 32

Kennedy Brooks ran for 142 yards and three touchdowns, Caleb Williams passed for three more scores, and the 14th-ranked Sooners rode a dominant first half to a 47-32 win over No. 15 Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Wednesday night. The victory marked a brief and happy reunion for the coach and school he led to a national championship and ten Big 12 titles from 1999-2016. They called Bob Stoops off a golf course to come out of retirement to coach the bowl game after the abrupt departure of Lincoln Riley for Southern California.
