Lubbock Regional
Winning team: Wake Forest, 2 under
Advancing teams: 1. Wake Forest, 2. Texas, 3. Iowa State, 4. Tennessee, 5. Purdue
Individual winner: Carolina Chacarra, Wake Forest, 7 under
Advancing individual: Lousiane Gauthier, Florida Gulf Coast
Star performance: Purdue. The Boilermakers went to a playoff with Texas A&M to decide the fifth team to earn a spot at nationals, and thanks to Natasha Kiel's eagle putt, Purdue advanced to Omni La Costa in clutch fashion.
Keep an eye on: Wake Forest. The ACC runners-up seem to be finding form at the right time. The Demon Deacons won the national title two years ago and are the only team to beat Stanford in any format this year (semis of ACC Match Play). Perhaps a dark-horse title contender.
Norman Regional
Winning team: Stanford, 22 under
Advancing teams: 1. Stanford, 2. Northwestern, 3. Michigan State; 4. Oklahoma, 5. Baylor
Individual winner: Andrea Revuelta, Stanford, 8 under
Advancing individual: Audrey Ryu, Furman
Star performance: Oklahoma. The hosts were outside of the cut line after each of the first two days, but 3-under performances in the second and final rounds helped the Sooners advance to nationals.
Keep an eye on: Stanford. The Cardinal haven't lost to anyone in stroke play this season. Stanford is also the defending national champions and has won two of the past three titles. Can the Cardinal make it three in four years?

New Purdue coach Barry Odom tries to make school's big investment pay off with dramatic turnaround
Three years after playing for a Big Ten title, the Purdue Boilermakers are starting over. They hope to snap the FBS' second-longest losing streak at 11, want to prove last season's 1-11 mark was the aberration and are counting on a new coaching staff and a flurry of transfers to quickly restore the luster to the Cradle of Quarterbacks. It's quite a responsibility for new coach Barry Odom but he says he is already seeing progress. 'The habits are starting to show up,' he said early in summer camp. 'We're not making the same mistake two days in a row. We're seeing some physicality at the line of scrimmage, both sides, and that's good to see.' Odom knows the signs after putting UNLV's moribund program on the national map with the first back-to-back bowls in school history. This job seems equally daunting following a forgettable season. Purdue had the two worst losses in school history and was the only Power Four school with fewer than two wins. Before hiring Odom, athletic director Mike Bobinski promised to invest fully in the new pay-for-play college world and Odom has made it pay off. While some mainstays left, most notably All-American safety Dillon Thieneman, lOdom added an FBS-high 51 transfers and has 82 new players. Other programs have successfully navigated massive transitions and now Odom is trying to help Purdue join the list. 'The whole locker room, even with the fresh set of guys, we've all come together fast,' said running back Devin Mockobee, the Boilermakers' only returning starter. 'I think we're just a solid unit of guys, not just a bunch of individuals trying to play by themselves. So we talk about expectations, the expectation is to win. Mock 4 Mockobee arrived on campus as a walk-on and earned his scholarship after breaking Purdue's freshman rushing record. Now Mockobee is chasing the Boilermakers career mark. He enters this season needing 534 yards to become the fourth 3,000-yard rusher in school history and 1,170 yards to surpass Mike Alstott (3,635) for No. 1 'It's about grit,' Mockobee said. 'It's about getting that extra yard when other guys aren't going to fight for it and doing that on a consistent basis.' Five for the show Five players were competing for the starting quarterback job including Odom's son Gary, a true freshman. Three transfers — Evans Chuba of Washington State, Malachi Singleton of Arkansas and Bennett Meredith of Arizona State — took snaps in spring practice. Ryan Browne made two starts last year and rejoined the mix this summer after playing spring ball at North Carolina. Odom said his decision ahead of the Aug. 30 season opener against Ball State would be based on several factors. 'We want to take care of the ball, move the ball, execute on third downs, score points,' he said. 'We want to play with mental strain, extra effort, toughness and competitiveness.' COVID hangover One lesson Odom took out of the COVID-19 pandemic was the importance of training players to perform at multiple positions. Back then, the defensive coordinator did it out of necessity because of the uncertainty who might be available. Since then, Odom continued cross-training players because he thought it made those players better. The schedule Schedule-makers didn't make it any easier this year for Purdue than last year. The Boilermakers open league play by hosting Southern Cal in Week 3. They visit No. 6 Notre Dame in Week 4 and after a manageable October have four brutal November games — trips to No. 14 Michigan and Washington sandwiched around a home game against No. 3 Ohio State. They also host No. 20 Indiana in the traditional season finale.

Freshman Bear Bachmeier to start at QB for BYU
Bear Bachmeier has won the quarterback competition at BYU, coach Kalani Sitake said Tuesday. "He settled it on the field. He gives us the best chance to win right now," Sitake said. He will become the first true freshman in program history to start Week 1 when the Cougars open against Portland State on Aug. 30, ESPN reported. Bachmeier will wear the unusual QB number of 47, which he showed off in a social media video while dressed as a bear. It's a quick turn for BYU, which saw starter Jake Retzlaff withdraw from school on July 11 amid news BYU intended to suspend him for seven games over a violation of the school's honor code. Retzlaff now is at Tulane. Bachmeier initially committed to Stanford and spent the spring in Palo Alto, but he entered the transfer portal in May and headed to BYU. Transferring with him from Stanford was his older brother, Tiger. Tiger caught 46 passes for 476 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons at Stanford. The Bachmeier name could sound familiar. Oldest brother Hank concluded his six-year career as a college quarterback in 2024 with Wake Forest after previously playing for Boise State and Louisiana Tech. Bear was a four-star recruit, as ranked by the 247Sports composite, in the Class of 2025. Tiger was a three-star in the 2023 class. The brothers are from Murrieta, Calif. Bachmeier bested transfers Treyson Bourguet, a redshirt junior from Western Michigan, and redshirt sophomore McCae Hillstead from Utah State, to win the starting job. The Cougars finished 11-2 in 2024 in his second season in the Big 12. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

No. 6 Notre Dame names Carr starting quarterback over Minchey
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman named second-year quarterback CJ Carr his starting quarterback Tuesday, ending the preseason competition with Kenny Minchey. The announcement was made on the official social media account of the Fighting Irish football program. Carr made one appearance for the Fighting Irish during last season's run to the national championship game but has not thrown a college pass. He played in the second half of a historic 66-7 rout at Purdue last season. He was a three-time all-state quarterback in Michigan and is the son of former Michigan football player Jason Carr and the grandson of former Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr. Minchey appeared in three games with the Irish in 2023 and completed both of his attempts for 12 yards. He also appeared in last year's Purdue game, completing his only pass of the season for 4 yards and rushing two times for 12 yards. He scored his first TD on a 7-yard run. Steve Angeli, Riley Leonard's top backup last season, also was in the battle during the spring. He replaced Leonard in the title game late in the first half against Penn State in the national semifinal and led the Irish to a score that helped them get back in sync. But he transferred to Syracuse after spring ball, turning the expected three-man battle into a two-man competition. Angeli was named Syracuse's starter earlier this week. Notre Dame opens the season in primetime Aug. 31 at No. 10 Miami.
