THE HOT CORNER

1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said the NCAA needs to review its rules on whether quarterbacks should be allowed to“fake slide”after escaping the pocket. Clawson’s statement came after his team’s 45-21 loss to Pittsburgh in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday night in which Panthers quarterback Kenny Pickett used a fake slide to freeze defenders and run for a 58-yard TD.

2 PRO FOOTBALL: The Panthers fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady with five games left in the 2021 regular season, the team announced Sunday. Running backs coach Jeff Nixon will take over play-calling duties. Nixon, a senior offensive assistant, was offensive coordinator at Baylor during Matt Rhule’s tenure as head coach. The Panthers were on a bye week this week.

3 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Uconn won its rivalry game against Notre Dame but may have lost last year’s national player of the year to a knee injury. Paige Bueckers scored 22 points before going down with just seconds left in No. 2 Uconn’s 73-54 win over No. 24 Notre Dame on Sunday. Bueckers, who is averaging a little more than 20 points per game, had to be carried off the court. The full extent of the injury will likely be known today.

4 WINTER SPORTS: Kaillie Humphries is 2 for 2 as an American. Humphries completed a perfect weekend Sunday, teaming with Kaysha Love to win a World Cup women’s bobsled race. It was the 28th World Cup win of Humphries’ career, coming three days after she was sworn in as a U.S. citizen and one day after she won a monobob race on the same Altenberg, Germany, track.

5 WINTER SPORTS: Julia Taubitz of Germany won a pair of women’s World Cup luge races Sunday, while Summer Britcher gave USA Luge its best individual finish in nearly two years by grabbing a silver medal.
