The Fighting Irish kept Williams in check from the jump – in USC’s seven first-half drives, they scored just six points, Williams threw three picks, they punted once, and turned the ball over on downs another, as Notre Dame took a 24-6 lead into the locker room. In fact, Williams’ first interception came on just the fourth play of the game.
USC got some momentum on their side when MarShawn Lloyd rushed for a 31-yard touchdown, but the Irish answered right back when Sam Hartman found Chris Tyree for a 46-yard score.

With 9:04 left in the fourth, Williams hit Brenden Rice, the son of the legendary Jerry, for a seven-yard touchdown to cut their deficit to 11. Well, the Irish took the ensuing kickoff to the house to go right back up 18. The Irish kicked a field goal after a USC turnover on downs, and then they scooped up a fumble and returned it for another touchdown.
Williams’ three interceptions were a career-high, and his 199 passing yards were his lowest mark of the season. In all, the Irish forced five turnovers (three picks, two fumbles).

California Governor Gavin Newsom has approved a cryptocurrency bill that enforces stricter regulations on businesses conducting crypto operations, set to begin in 18 months.
In a statement published on October 13, Newsom declared that the bill titled the ‘Digital Financial Assets Law,’ will make it mandatory for both individuals and firms to obtain a Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) license to engage in digital asset business activities.

The bill is scheduled to come into effect on July 1, 2025.
In legislation documents, it draws a comparison to California’s money transmission laws, which prohibit banking and transfer services from operating without a license granted by the DFPI Commissioner.
However, the new crypto bill will allow the DFPI to impose stringent audit requirements on crypto firms as well as force them to uphold recording requirements. The statement noted:
“[This bill] would require a licensee to maintain […] for 5 years after the date of the activity, certain records, including a general ledger maintained at least monthly that lists all assets, liabilities, capital, income, and expenses of the licensee.”
It further clarifies that firms not complying with the bill will face enforcement measures.
Around this time last year, Newsom declined to sign a similar bill that aimed to establish a licensing and regulatory framework for digital assets in California.
Although the bill passed through the California State Assembly without opposition, Newsom expressed that he was sending the bill back “without my signature.”
Newsom suggested that the bill wasn’t flexible enough to keep up with fast-changing crypto trends.
At the time, Newson stated that he was waiting for federal regulations to come into place before working with the legislature to establish crypto licensing initiatives.
Meanwhile, Cointelegraph recently reported that the U.S. is exploring the possibility of applying the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (ETFA) to crypto as a measure to combat fraudulent transfers.
In a recent speech, Rohit Chopra, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), expressed his intention to grant authorization for this to “reduce harm of errors, hacks and unauthorized transfers.”

The league handed down the punishment in response to Hill flashing a peace sign as he sprinted into the end zone for a 69-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Referees threw a flag for taunting on the touchdown. After Hill scored, he made his way toward the end zone seats in search of his mother. He tossed the ball into the stands, and it was snagged by a Dolphins fan.
Hill’s mom, Anesha Sanchez, appeared to tell the overzealous fan she was the star wide receiver’s mom, and the man surrendered the touchdown ball.

On Tuesday, Hill took to social media and claimed that the NFL had fined him for more than $100,000.
“NFL fining me more than 100k is classic NFL,” he wrote, followed by “Team no sock,” an apparent reference to the reason behind the fine. According to NFL media, Hill has been fined multiple times this year for uniform policy violations.

Hill routinely plays without socks, a violation of the league’s uniform policy. After the Dolphins’ Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos, Hill said he was fined around $7,000 for not wearing socks during the game.
“So, in the Broncos game, the first touchdown, I didn’t have any socks on at all,” Hill told The Palm Beach Post. “But I was getting an IV, and I didn’t want to be late for the play. So, I didn’t have time to put on my socks.”
Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders delivered another strong performance Friday night, throwing for 400 yards and five touchdowns in a double-overtime loss to Stanford.
Sanders and the Buffaloes have been in the national spotlight since his father, NFL legend Deion Sanders, took over as head coach.
According to On3.com, Shedeur received the highest name, image and likeness (NIL) valuation among college football players at $3.5 million.
Sanders, like many other college players, uses social media to promote products. But the timing of a post Friday night to Sanders’ Instagram account raised some eyebrows.

Colorado entered the game as an overwhelming favorite to beat Stanford and jumped out to a 29-0 lead. During the game, a link promoting merchandise somehow appeared on Sanders’ verified Instagram account, which has 1.7 million followers.
It is unlikely Sanders posted it himself since he was in uniform and playing in a game. It is unclear if the ad was previously scheduled or if someone else posted it.
The post prompted viewers to click on a link that said “Shop Now.” The link redirected users to a sweatshirt priced at $100.

In the game, Stanford cut the deficit, tied the score and forced overtime. Colorado won the overtime coin toss and elected to give the ball to its offense first. But the Buffaloes lost 46-43 after two overtimes.

“We have no choice but to go forward. That’s life,” Coach Sanders said after the game. “We didn’t expect that. … We can’t sit down and have no pity party.”
It took until the last second, but the seventh-seeded Washington Huskies defended their home turf.
Washington took down its Pac-12 rival, No. 8 Oregon, 36-33, in a thriller Saturday.
The Huskies took a 29-18 lead early in the third quarter after Michael Penix Jr. found Rome Odunze for a 17-yard touchdown, and they forced a turnover on downs on Oregon’s ensuing drive.
But the Ducks forced a three and out, and Bo Nix found Troy Franklin for a 30-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to four with 1:36 left in the third.

Oregon forced another three and out, and on the Ducks’ sixth play of their next drive, Jordan James reached the end zone on a 10-yard run, putting the Ducks up 33-29 with just under 13 minutes to go.
Washington then drove all the way down to Oregon’s 1-yard line, but was stopped there needing a touchdown.
The Husky crowd was jumping as the Ducks started the ensuing drive at their own 2-yard line, but they were able to get out of danger and cross midfield. The Ducks took a huge gamble, though, to try to put the game away, going for it on 4th and 3 from Washington’s 47. Nix’s pass fell incomplete, and the Huskies had the ball with 2:11 left.
After Washington failed to score its previous three drives, Penix only needed two plays to score on this one. The Heisman hopeful’s first pass went for 34 yards to Ja’Lynn Polk to put Washington in the red zone. His next pass was an 18-yard touchdown pass to Odunze, and the PAT put Washington up 36-33 with 1:38 to go.

Oregon got in field goal range, but Camden Lewis missed a 43-yard attempt as time expired, giving the Huskies the victory and getting the party started on the field as fans in purple flooded the turf.
Penix threw for 302 yards on 22 of 37 passing, launching four touchdowns, two of them to Odunze. He and Polk connect for 14 receptions for 246 yards and three scores. Dillon Johnson ran 20 times for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Nix went 33-for-44 for 337 yards in the loss, while Franklin led the Ducks with eight catches and 154 yards. Bucky Irving rushed for 127 yards on 22 carries, one of them a score.
Oregon will host Washington State next week, while Washington, whose College Football Playoff hopes remain alive after this one, hosts Arizona State.
In his first boxing match since an exhibition two years ago against Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul dominated.
Paul defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis Saturday in a six-round bout in Manchester.
The first five rounds were all Paul. The YouTuber-turned-WWE superstar landed 82 punches, while Danis landed just nine. Danis seemed to take his trolling into the ring by doing backhanded punches and lying down in the ring, but that was just a small preview.
In the sixth, Danis went for Paul’s legs in an MMA-type grapple, but Paul whisked him away. Security guards nearly entered the ring. That wasn’t even close to the most bizarre part.

As the final seconds ticked, Danis attempted to put Paul into a guillotine chokehold. Paul got out of it, and Paul threw a punch as Danis was on the mat. When Danis got up, the referee tried to keep them separated, but Danis went on the attack. Well over a dozen security guards jumped into the ring. Danis swung at security, and Paul’s younger brother, Jake, got involved.
Security members on both sides jostled with one another, and Danis was disqualified. Although Paul held the unanimous lead through the first five rounds.
There was bad blood between Paul and Danis in recent weeks, with the MMA fighter even taking shots at Paul’s fiancée. On Friday at their press conference, Danis threw a microphone at Paul, giving him a black eye.
Before the fight, Paul mouthed “I forgive you,” stating after the fight that that was the only way to fight him “without emotion.” Clearly bothered by Danis’ antics, Paul was animated speaking with Ariel Helwani.
“He’s supposed to be good at jiujutsu. What happened bruh?” he said.

“Dillon Danis is truly a coward. Just a dirty, dirty human being.”
Paul said he can see himself returning to the ring and specifically called out “that little leprechaun” Conor McGregor.
Paul seems focused on the WWE, even calling out Rey Mysterio to win the U.S. title. But it was clear MMA fighter Danis did not belong in the boxing ring.
New York Jets fans were caught by surprise Saturday afternoon when the team announced it would be without arguably its best player.
Cornerback Sauce Gardner popped up in the injury report Friday with an undisclosed illness. On Saturday, the team said he will miss the game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a concussion.
The Jets were already without D.J. Reed, who starts opposite Gardner in the secondary. Reed also has a concussion, missing last week’s 31-21 victory against the Denver Broncos.

Gardner, though, took to X, formerly Twitter, shortly after the Jets officially ruled him out, and it seemed like he was caught by surprise.
“I feel perfectly fine. That’s the crazy part about it,” he posted.
The NFL has taken more precautions with concussions in recent years, and perhaps even more so after Tua Tagovailoa’s head injuries last year.

The Jets’ secondary is running thin even beyond their starters. Defensive backs Justin Hardee and Brandin Echols will also miss the game against Philly, so Gang Green will have to promote players from the practice squad.
With Jalen Hurts throwing to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith against backups, the Jets will have their work cut out for them.
The Eagles are looking for their sixth straight victory to open up the season, while New York is 2-3.

Caroline Ellison wanted to step down but feared a bank run on FTX
Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, testified for over 10 hours this week at Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial, offering deeper details on the events that anticipated the FTX debacle in November 2022. From Ellison’s testimony, jurors learned that she planned to leave Alameda months before its collapse, but feared a bank run on FTX amidst the crypto market downturn. The week also featured a recording presented as evidence in the case showing the exact moment Ellison told employees about Alameda’s use of FTX customer deposits. Among the key moments of Bankman-Fried’s trial were revelations of fabricated balance sheets in order to deceive crypto lenders, as well as BlockFi CEO Zac Prince’s testimony. Check out this week’s highlights from Cointelegraph’s team on the ground.
Months before the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was “freaking out” about buying shares in Snapchat, raising capital from Saudi royalty and getting regulators to crack down on rival crypto exchange Binance, according to evidence presented in court this week as a part of the ongoing criminal trial. Bankman-Fried believed Binance leaked an Alameda balance sheet to the media in 2022. According to a document from Nov. 6, 2022, Bankman-Fried wrote that Binance had been “engaging in a PR campaign against us.” It continued, saying that Binance “leaked a balance sheet; blogged about it; fed it to Coindesk; then announced very publicly that they were selling $500m of FTT in response to it while telling customers to be wary of FTX.”
SEC reportedly won’t appeal court decision on Grayscale Bitcoin ETF
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly has no plans to appeal the recent court decision that favored Grayscale Investments. The ruling requires the SEC to review the firm’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) application. The SEC’s supposed decision not to appeal doesn’t necessarily mean Grayscale’s application is set to be approved. If the reports are true, the SEC will need to follow the court’s August order and review Grayscale’s application to change its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF.
Terraform Labs contends Citadel Securities had a hand in its stablecoin collapse
Terraform Labs has again pointed the finger at market maker Citadel Securities for its role in an alleged “concerted, intentional effort” to cause the depeg of its TerraUSD stablecoin in 2022. On Oct. 10, Terraform Labs filed a motion in the United States to compel Citadel Securities to produce documents relating to its trading activity in May 2022, when TerraUSD Classic depegged. In its motion, Terraform argued that the documents are crucial for its defense in the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in February, which alleged Terraform Labs and its founder, Do Kwon, had a hand in “orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud.” Citadel Securities has, however, previously denied trading the TerraUSD stablecoin in May 2022.
Mastercard has completed a trial involving wrapping central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) on different blockchains, similar to wrapped Bitcoin and wrapped Ether. The trial was conducted with the Reserve Bank of Australia and the country’s Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre CBDC. Mastercard said the solution allowed a CBDC owner to purchase a nonfungible token (NFT) listed on Ethereum. “The process ‘locked’ the required amount of a pilot CBDC on the RBA’s pilot CBDC platform and minted an equivalent amount of wrapped pilot CBDC tokens on Ethereum,” the payment processor wrote.

At the end of the week, Bitcoin (BTC) is at $26,892, Ether (ETH) at $1,551 and XRP at $0.48. The total market cap is at $1.05 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Among the biggest 100 cryptocurrencies, the top three altcoin gainers of the week are Loom Network (LOOM) at 86.71%, Trust Wallet Token (TWT) at 16.72% and Tether Gold (XAUt) at 5.16%.
The top three altcoin losers of the week are Mantle (MNT) at -17.27%, Rocket Pool (RPL) at -14.39% and Avalanche (AVAX) at -13.39%.
“I was worrying about customer withdrawals from FTX, this getting out, people to be hurt. […] I didn’t feel good. If people found out [about Alameda using FTX funds], they would all try to withdraw from FTX.”
“It’s alarming and should be a wakeup call for lawmakers and regulators that digital wallets connected to Hamas received millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies.”
“People who believe SBFraud is a ‘good guy’ who made ‘mistakes’, and FTX grew too fast and it all got away from him, should NEVER be in charge of other people’s money.”
Ethereum losing streak vs. Bitcoin hits 15 months — Can ETH price reverse course?
The price of Ethereum’s native token, Ether, is trading around a 15-month low versus Bitcoin, and the lowest since Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake. The ETH/BTC pair dropped to as low as 0.056 BTC earlier this week. In doing so, the pair broke below its 200-week exponential moving average (200-week EMA; the blue wave) near 0.058 BTC, raising downside risks further into 2023.
The 200-week EMA has historically served as a reliable support level for ETH/BTC bulls.
ETH/BTC stares at similar selloff risks in 2023 after losing its 200-week EMA as support. In this case, the next downside target looks to be around its 0.5 Fibonacci line near 0.051 BTC in 2023, down about 9.5% from current price levels.
Conversely, ETH price may rebound toward its 50-week EMA (the red wave) near 0.065 BTC if it reclaims the 200-week EMA as support.

Mistake or money laundering? User pays $1.6 million for CrypToadz NFT
One of the CrypToadz NFTs, whose average price doesn’t exceed $1,000, was bought for an astonishing 1,055 wrapped Ether, an equivalent of $1.6 million. The CrypToadz collection was launched during the NFT boom of 2021 and surpassed a trading volume of $38 million worth of Ether during its first 10 days on the market. The price paid by the anonymous user for the NFT raised questions among the community. Two weeks ago, this item was acquired for 0.95 ETH (around $1,600), only to be sold for a price a thousand times higher.
USDR stablecoin depegs to $0.53, but team vows to provide solutions
Real estate-backed stablecoin USDR lost its peg to the United States dollar after a rush of redemptions caused a draining of liquid assets such as Dai from its treasury. USDR, backed by a mixture of cryptocurrencies and real estate holdings, is issued by the Tangible protocol, a decentralized finance project that seeks to tokenize housing and other real-world assets. During the crisis, a trader reportedly exchanged 131,350 USDR for 0 USD Coin, resulting in a complete loss on investment.
HTX claws back $8M in stolen funds, issues 250 ETH bounty to hacker
Huobi Global’s crypto exchange HTX has confirmed the return of the funds stolen by a hacker in late September and issued a 250 Ether bounty after resolving the issue. One of HTX’s hot wallets was drained of 5,000 ETH on Sept. 25, worth roughly $8 million at the time. Shortly after the hack occurred, the firm contacted the hacker and claimed to know their identity. HTX ultimately offered to pay a 5% bounty worth around $400,000 and not to take any legal action if they returned 95% of the funds before a deadline of Oct. 2.

Legendary golfer Andy Bean died Saturday after complications from double lung replacement surgery last month, the PGA Tour confirmed. He was 70.
Bean was an 11-time PGA Tour winner. His first victory came in 1977 at the Doral-Eastern Open, and his most recent victory was in 1986 at the Byron Nelson Golf Classic in Texas.
Bean was also victorious three times on the Champions Tour.

He was born March 13, 1953, in Lafayette, Georgia, and played golf for the Florida Gators.
During his time at Florida, Bean competed on a team that featured future PGA Tour players Gary Koch, Woody Blackburn, Phil Hancock and current Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley.
Bean turned professional in 1975. Four years later, he became a member of the United States Ryder Cup team, making the team a second time in 1987.
In 1980 and 1989, Bean finished second at the PGA Championship. Although he never won a major, he did finish in second at the 1983 Open Championship.

“Andy was a tenacious competitor on the course but the kindest of men off of it,” PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady said.
“He was affectionately referred to as a gentle giant, someone who always had time for fans, the media and his fellow players. As a multiple-tournament winner after turning 50, he exemplified those same traits on PGA Tour Champions that he did during his stellar PGA Tour career. We send our best to Andy’s family.”

Bean reportedly started having respiratory trouble after a battle with COVID-19. He underwent a double lung transplant in September.
FTX estate seems to be bullish on Solana’s native token SOL (SOL), as it staked over 5.5 million in SOL coins on Oct. 13. According to on-chain data, an FTX-identified wallet sent the coins to Figment, a staking validator firm for institutional investors.
The transaction was detected by blockchain tracker Whale Alert and later identified as an FTX estate address by pseudonymous on-chain researcher Ashpool. The coins staked worth $122 million and represent a small fraction of FTX’s holdings of SOL.
Staking involves locking up a specific amount of coins for a set period of time. Staking holders receive SOL coins rewards for securing the network with their stakes.
FTX was an early investor in Solana and receives every month a significant volume of SOL unlocked according to the established vesting schedule. FTX estate has the option of liquidating these holdings at any time. The FTX estate is overseen by a bankruptcy trustee. Its primary role involves the recovery of assets to the exchange’s creditors.
In September, a U.S. court approved the sale of $1.3 billion in SOL from FTX, causing concerns among holders about a slump in prices. To avoid adding burdens on the crypto market, the bankruptcy court demanded the sale occur through an investment adviser in weekly batches. The decision drove SOL’s price to a two-month low of $17.34 on Sept. 11.
FTX holds $3.4 billion in Digital Assets A, which is the top 10 assets the company holds, including Solana, Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Aptos (APT) and other cryptocurrencies. According to court filings from September, over $7 billion has been recovered since the exchange filed for bankruptcy protection last November.
Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of FTX, is on trial at a district court in Manhattan accused of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. If found guilty, he could serve up to 115 years in prison.
