The University of Minnesota football team is 3-0 after Saturday's 28-23 win over Western Michigan at TCF Bank Stadium. Gopher quarterback MarQueis Gray was injured in the second quarter and his backup Max Shortell entered the game and fired three touchdown passes. Gray has an ankle sprain and his status for this Saturday's home game against Syracuse is uncertain.

The National Hockey League is in a labor lockout. The league has locked out the players after the two sides failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement. The previous CBA expired on Saturday. The last work stoppage in the NHL led to the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season. The owners and players remain at odds over how to split hockey-related revenue. The players received 57-percent of revenue under the previous agreement, but the league says it needs to cut that down to under 50-percent for long-term stability. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says the league is not prepared to begin the regular season without a new labor agreement.
