Dimopoulos, who played quarterback in high school, also converted the two-point conversion when he passed it to quarterback Josh Holst for his second completion of the season. Holst, a freshman walk-on, was making just his third start at quarterback as NIU was without starter Ethan Hampton, who entered with 1,600 yards and 12 touchdowns to go with six interceptions. Holst completed 18 of 30 passes for 182 and two touchdowns for Northern Illinois (8-5). He was also intercepted on the first play of the game. Both teams missed a 35-yard field goal in the final three minutes of regulation, including Dylan Lynch's third miss of the game on the final play to send it to overtime. Fresno State started overtime with a touchdown when Bryson Donelson was left wide open out of the backfield to haul in a 9-yard touchdown pass. NIU needed five plays, and a defensive holding penalty, to score as Holst found Grayson Barnes for a 3-yard touchdown. Donelson finished with 15 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown for Fresno State (6-7). He added three catches for 28 yards and another score. Dual-threat quarterback Joshua Wood was 16 of 23 for 180 yards and a touchdown. Mac Dalena made six catches for 118 yards to help go over 1,000 yards for the season. Fresno State was without 14 players, including starting quarterback Mikey Keene after he transferred to Michigan. Two top-three receivers, Jalen Moss and Raylen Sharpe, also did not play as the Bulldogs were forced to use five new starters. UTSA 44, COASTAL CAROLINA 15: Owen McCown threw for 254 yards and a touchdown and UTSA scored the opening 27 points of the Myrtle Beach Bowl to cruise past short-handed Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C. UTSA (7-6) broke away in the second quarter by scoring a touchdown on three straight drives for a 21-0 lead. McCown was 14 of 17 in the first half, including a 6-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Overmyer. McCown also scored on a 35-yard run after breaking two tackles near the end zone. The other score was a 9-yard touchdown run by Brandon High. Coastal Carolina (6-7) finished the first half with just 140 total yards — 60 coming on the final drive. The Chanticleers punted on five straight drives to begin the game — with the longest possession lasting seven plays for 25 yards. UTSA added short field goals on its opening two drives of the second half, while Coastal Carolina started with two straight three-and-out drives. UTSA ended CCU’s third drive on Jakevian Rodgers’ first career interception to extend the program's single-game streak with an interception and a sack to 23 games. CCU’s first touchdown came on the first play of the fourth quarter when Bryson Graves caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Tad Hudson. But UTSA’s Chris Carpenter returned the ensuing kickoff for a 93-yard touchdown to make it 34-7. It was the largest margin of victory in the five-year history of the Myrtle Beach Bowl.

Similar to last year, we’re expecting to see a lineup consisting of the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and . It’s that last model – the S25 Ultra – that will turn the most heads. The current generation is one of around, and maybe the most powerful phone on the market, so having an update right around the corner is very exciting indeed. Though we’re generally expecting to see iterative improvements across the S25 lineup, the biggest changes and upgrades seem to be concentrated on the S25 Ultra. We’re talking camera improvements, design changes, and potentially even a new name (though we’ll keep calling it the Ultra in this article). The list of rumored upgrades is such that some Galaxy S24 Ultra owners may be tempted to upgrade, but it’s more likely that prospective customers who still use older Galaxy models, or indeed other phones, will be left deciding between buying the expensive S25 Ultra or nabbing an S24 Ultra for a discount from a third-party retailer once the S25 Ultra supplants it at the store. We’re still light on official information for the S25 series, but here are my thoughts on how the S25 Ultra could be even more Ultra than the Ultra it replaces. Samsung S25 Ultra vs Samsung S24 Ultra: rumored upgrades, design changes, and how the new generation can improve As mentioned, we’re not expecting to see a full-scale reinvention of Samsung’s highest end slab phone with the S25 Ultra, but we are hoping to see some decent upgrades based on the latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra rumors. Starting with design, the S25 Ultra could swap the sharp corners found on the S24 Ultra for a rounded design in line with its rivals, the and . This newly rounded frame could reportedly house a slightly enlarged 6.9-inch display, a slight bump up from the 6.8-inch display found on the S24 Ultra enabled by slimmed-down bezels. The displays are likely to be technologically and visually identical otherwise, as they’ll reportedly use the same M13 panel technology – no biggie considering just how brilliant the S24 Ultra’s display looks. We’re also expecting to see some new black detail around the rear camera rings on the S25 Ultra, the same as the rest of the S25 lineup. Otherwise, the two phones should look broadly similar, with the same camera layout, titanium frame, and port and button placement. We’ve heard of though, with some quirky names like Silverblue and Whitesilver. Perhaps we’ll see a switch-up from the block colors of the S24 Ultra, which I’ve always thought clash with the titanium rails. Underneath that titanium housing, we’re expecting the S25 Ultra to boast some performance boosts compared to its predecessor. The S25 Ultra – and, indeed, the entire S25 lineup – is tipped to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, an absolute unit of a chipset that promises major processing, graphics, and efficiency gains over the current generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The version of that chipset found in the S24 series is a customized Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy variant, but it's still unlikely to match the potentially impressive improvement in load times, UI speed, and gaming performance coming with the S25 Ultra. Additionally, , compared to the flat 12GB found on all variants of the S24 Ultra. It’s suggested that the cheapest version of the S25 Ultra will still come with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while the 512GB and 1TB specs get the full 16GB. And as this is the S25 Ultra we’re talking about the term ‘cheapest’ is very much relative – we’re expecting the S25 to at least match the S24 Ultra for price, which would work out to a starting price of $1,299 / £1,249 / AU$2,199 – though some tipsters suggest a price hike could be on the way. The Galaxy S24 Ultra is a heavy hitter in the mobile photography world with its quad-camera system, and thanks to a barrage of rumors, we expect the S25 Ultra to continue this pattern. The S25 is tipped to have a 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 50MP periscope camera with 5x zoom, and 10MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom. It’s the ultrawide camera that sees the biggest upgrade here, from 12MP to 50MP, while the other cameras seem broadly identical to the S24’s system. That might not count as a reason to upgrade on its own, as the S24 Ultra is already one of the as is. We’ll almost certainly see some new software processing either built into the S25 Ultra specifically or with the launch of the One UI 7 Android wrapper. Speaking of, we expect both phones to gain access to One UI 7 when it launches. Samsung has been very quiet about the release of its latest Android wrapper, but it’d be reasonable to suggest the new OS will launch alongside the S25 series in mid-January 2025. It’s possible that more RAM in the pricier versions of the S25 Ultra would allow the phone to take advantage of new artificial intelligence-powered tools in the Galaxy AI suite, though it’s hard to predict what these features could look like. After all that, though, we might not even get an S25 Ultra at all – . There’s not much to go on with this, but it’d certainly be welcome for fans of the Note series, which was last seen in 2020 with the Galaxy S20 Note. Note or not, we shouldn’t have to wait too long for official announcements about the S25 Ultra and its smaller siblings. If these rumors hold weight, there won’t be masses separating the two most recent top-end Galaxy phones. Yet advancements in performance, ergonomics, and photography could be enough to make the high price tag worthwhile.

Down by two goals to start the third period Sunday in Massachusetts, the Norfolk Admirals answered another challenge to extend their ECHL winning streak to seven. They erased the deficit and prevailed 4-3 in overtime over the Worcester Railers when Chesapeake native Brandon Osmundson scored 3:22 into the extra period off assists from Darick Louis-Jean and Ben Zloty. It was Zloty’s third assist of the day. Goalie Domenic DiVincentiis improved his record with Norfolk to 6-0, all during the current streak. He made 24 saves, while Worcester’s John Muse had 26. Anthony Callin’s goal 13:40 into the game put the Railers ahead, but German Yavash — in his eighth Norfolk game — scored his first goal at 16:53 for a 1-1 tie. Worcester, a New York Islanders affiliate, moved ahead 3-1 in the second period on goals by Riley Piercey and Lincoln Hatten, but a penalty on the Railers (9-12-1-1) with two seconds left in the period gave Norfolk (13-4-3-0) a power play to start the third. Carson Golder capitalized 55 seconds into the period, rebounding a Brady Fleurent shot to cut Norfolk’s deficit to 3-2. Justin Young then tied the game at 16:01 with his first goal of the season, a point-blank shot just after another power play expired. It was his first goal since Feb. 27. On the winning sequence, Zloty carried the puck on a 2-on-1, passing to Louis-Jean, who got the goalie out of position before passing to Osmundson. The former Hampton Roads Whaler then slapped the puck into the net and slid in celebration. The Admirals, contending for the North Division lead, will return home to Scope for a pair of three-game Friday-through-Sunday series, first against the Cincinnati Cyclones and then against the Trois-Rivières Lions. The first game versus Cincinnati will start at 7:05 p.m. Friday.
