Friday's Eastern-date slate produced three FBS finals and twelve NBA preseason finals. The scheduled ALCS game was officially postponed. All 15 played games are final, and the postponed game is identified separately without a score.
This recap reports sports results and documented market outcomes. It does not describe ISR's paid selections or service performance.
NCAA Football FBS: Tulane takes the ball away; Washington responds
| Matchup / box score | Score | Status |
|---|---|---|
| MEM @ TULN | Memphis Tigers 17 · Tulane Green Wave 31 | Final |
| WASH @ PUR | Washington Huskies 38 · Purdue Boilermakers 26 | Final |
| APP @ CCU | App State Mountaineers 35 · Coastal Carolina Chanticleers 32 | Final |
- Tulane 31, Memphis 17: The Green Wave forced six turnovers. TJ Smith returned an interception 76 yards for a touchdown; Johnnie Daniels' late 48-yard scoring run came on fourth-and-one.
- Washington 38, Purdue 26: Elijah Brown passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns, with three interceptions. Trey Cooley ran for 113 yards and a touchdown.
- App State 35, Coastal Carolina 32: Henry Hasselbeck rushed for 125 yards. Coastal's Deuce Bailey threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception.
ISR analysis: Tulane's takeaway production and Washington's ability to score despite interceptions are different stories. The final margins alone do not show whether an offense sustained its possessions or had to recover from repeated mistakes.
MLB: ALCS Game 4 postponed
Tampa Bay at Cleveland — postponed, rain. No final score. The rescheduled start is Saturday, October 17, at 8 p.m. Eastern. Cleveland's ALCS lead remains 2–1. See MLB's official update and the October 16 game record. No MLB games were completed on the covered date.
