head towards thursday and friday. last of the college football hokies down in raleigh taking on the wolfpack. sunshine and 73 degrees there. the longhorns and the sooners in the cotton bowl in texas. i want is indeed going to be a great day for the red river rivalry today. 85 degrees the kickoff in a told you last week i was going to put the longhorn upsi down but out respect there was a shooting on campus i put the longhorn right side up. can we put that picture up. this is the game at kansas state la week. we can't do it. there it is. check out that. that's a massive thunderstorm going right over the kansas state game. that's n the thing. i checked it out. that was an amazing picture there. >> all right. >> just want to get that on there. >> pretty cool. time now is 7:49. the redskins take on the eagles pap preview of who will be o the field.

plus good grief, charlie brown. you can watch the great pumpkin you can watch the great pumpkin this weekend four years ago, bob ehrlich got fired as governor of maryland. for good reason. first, he protected tax loopholes for giant cable cable companies. then, he let utilities jack up our rates 72%. and for the last four years, he worked as a hired gun for big corporations, even a bank that took billions from a taxpayer funded bailout. ehrlich sides with corporate executives again and again and again tell bob ehrlich big banks and billionares don't need help. middle cde do.

the redskins take on the eagles on the road tomorrow dan hellie has that and more in sports. >> good morning. the redskins and the eagles in philadelphia, 4:15 on sunday. one ofhe bigger questions going into this weekend is the health of trent williams. he missed last week with knee and toe injuries. williams did practice this week and is listed as questionable. he says the only thing that's really bothering him right now is his toe which is 90% to 95%. i would be surprised if williams didn't play. i would also be surprised if the defense didn't play better. how could it not? right now the defense ranked dead last in the nfl in terms of yards allowed. >> that's not everything because first of all you have to take a look. if it wasn't for the defense we wouldn't have won the first game.

they played well enough to win. we're playing some good offenses. got an overtime game. got yardage. i'm not saying -- the game was a bad game. too many big plays in passing game. it's hard to come out of the hole when you get in that. i think we're doing a good job in the running game and a lot of areas i would like timprove on. we need to get opportunities to get turnovers. lot of issues we're dealing with and correcthem as we go. >> that was redskins defensive coordinator. yesterday rain washed away most of day one of the ryder cup the u.s. leads in two of four matches so far. you can watch coverage of the ryder cup basically all day right here on nbc 4. you can only watch the nationals for two more games then the season is over. the guys up in new york for their season-ending ries with the mets. the nats need two more wins this weekend to get to 70 for the first time since 2007. this is the pitcher that baffled

the nats all night long. michael moore gets a solo pitch. he did strike out ten nationals. the game goes to extra. tied at 1- changes that all with one swing of the bat. game over. a walk off homer. the nationals and pitcher clipper are losers. 2-1 is the final in ten innings. capitals still perfect in pre-season. they outscored their opponents 20-9. we can expect this regular season to be like last year when they were the top scoring team. let's go verizon center. capitals hosting the columbus blue jackets. we get things started in the first period. no score. great pass here. threads the needle. caps on top 1-0. one of two goals on the night. second perio

1-0 the caps. fighting for the puck. mes right out in front of the net and right to brooks like the one timer is good. caps take a 2-0 lead. third period, let's remember, folks this is just pre-season. watch alex ochkin going after nick holn. gets right into him. from a different angle you can see ov hasn't lost any of his intensity. be careful. a long season ahead of us. pre-season winner are the caps 5-3 over columbus. all ght. high school football now fairfax county is the spot. it is 3-1 robinson over lake braddock. that was good old-fashioned backyard brawl. lake braddock led by the top quarterback in the area. michael nebrich and robinson fans know it, putting a hex on them. 4-3. nebrich decides to keep it to himself. bounces it to the outside.

what a pretty run this was. tight ropes the sidelines and then dodge into the end zone from 40 yards out. 7-0 bruins. this is the best part. nebrich gets up and quiets the crowd. third quarter, game time 7. nebrich back to pass. he's pickeoff by robinson's thomas petrosy. first interceion of the season. petrosy getting in on is shushing action. this would thread this. bounces off the cross bar and over. give it to us. that's good and that's the game winner. robinson beats lake braddock 10-7 is the final. what a scene that was. good weekend for those guys. that's your morning sports. i'm dan hellie. everybody have a great weekend. a reminder you can watch the ryder cup rit near on news 4. they are back in new port south wales. coverage begins at 8:00 this
