Upon further review, Pitt won’t require in-game face coverings

-

After receiving clarity from the state on new COVID-19 safety guidelines, Pittsburgh said players would be outfitted with face coverings but not required to wear them on the field Saturday. The new guidance from the office of Pennsylvan­ia Governor Tom Wolf states football players wearing masks during games “would likely create a medical issue,” making them exempt.

■ Air Force: At Colorado Springs, Colo., Brad Roberts ran for 177 yards and three TDS to help the Falcons top New Mexico 28-0 and give coach Troy Calhoun his 100th win. Air Force (2-2, 1-2 Mountain West) lost three third-quarter fumbles in its territory, two forced by linebacker Nico Bolden, leading to three missed field goals by the Lobos (0-4, 0-4).

■ Minnesota: At Minneapoli­s, linebacker Josh Aune’s intercepti­on with 44 seconds left at the Gophers’ 13 after a disputed penalty on Purdue preserved Minnesota’s 34-31 win. Mohamed Ibrahim ran for 102 yards and three TDS for the Gophers (2-3, 2-3 Big Ten). Jack Plummer threw for 367 yards and three TDS for the Boilermake­rs (2-2, 2-2).

■ Louisville: At Louisville, Ky., Malik Cunningham threw for a TD and ran for another to offset his three first-half turnovers as the Cardinals beat Syracuse 30-0. Louisville (3-6, 2-6 Atlantic Coast) held the Orange (1-8, 1-7) to 137 yards of offense.

■ Washington State: The team’s game Saturday at Stanford was canceled because of COVID-19 issues among the Cougars. Starting quarterbac­k Jayden de Laura was among the players testing positive.
