CULTURE NEWS

Miami, coming off three wins and a tough defense, will try to secure a victory — a win that could keep them in the ACC championship race.  The Pitt News
  • The New Orleans Saints signed former Steelers running back Evan Hull on October 31—he was with the Steelers in training camp—and he now will compete for playing time after Kendre Miler’s season ending knee injury.  PennLive
