By TRAVIS JOHNSON Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Justin Fields doesn't need the energy of 110,000 people mostly rooting against him in a stadium to put on a show. The Ohio State quarterback is just fine shredding defenses in front of a more intimate gathering. Justin Fields passed for 318 yards and four touchdowns, two to Chris Olave, and No. 3 Ohio State beat No. 18 Penn State 38-25 on an eerily quiet Saturday night at what is usually one of the most raucous settings in college football.

Philip Walton is now free after less than a week in the hands of kidnappers. Walton was abducted early Tuesday morning from his farm in Massalata in southern Niger by kidnappers who demanded a ransom from the man's father.
Friday night, a US joint special operations force moved in Nigeria, just across the border, to rescue the American.
\" They went in with a large group, zero casualties. We've got our American citizen, young man, we got our young man back\", US President Donald Trump said, as election day.
Niger has faced a growing number of attacks by extremists linked to both the Islamic State group and to al-Qaida. Walton's abduction came two months after Islamic State-linked militants killed 6 aid workers and their 2 guides in the region.
A U.S. official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the rescue before an official announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were no solid indications that Walton's kidnapping was terrorism-related and that it was instead ``trending toward a kidnapping for ransom.''
But the official said the U.S. government was concerned that the hostage could be passed to another terrorist group, or that the kidnapping could become a prolonged hostage-taking.

After Guinea's opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo's self-proclaimed victory in the first round of the presidential vote, his supporters flooded the streets of the capital Conakry
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, a day after the vote, Diallo said he had emerged \"victorious\" despite \"anomalies which marred the ballot\".
\"I invite all my fellow citizens who love peace and justice to stay vigilant and committed to defend this democratic victory,\" he said.
Soon after, his supporters chanted \"president\", despite no official result being published and the electoral body saying his claim was \"void\".
\"It is a great joy, we are proud that our president has been elected. All the people of Guinea are behind him,\" said Fatoumata Bineta Diallo, member of the UFDG executive board.
\"It was many citizens, outraged by the misgovernance, who joined us to give the final victory. We are very proud of him.\"
\"I think that the Ceni (electoral body) will only publish the results coming out of the ballot boxes... and the results coming out of the ballot boxes will give Cellou Dalein Diallo victory,\" said Amadou Diallo, UFDG activist.
But for all the scenes of jubilation, there were also tense moments in the city with security forces firing tear gas canisters at crowds of supporters.

Algerian's are voting in a referendum on Sunday to revise the constitution after long-time President Bouteflika was forced to resign last year following mass protests.
The government hopes it will neutralise the Hirak protest movement and will bring in a \"new Algeria\".
But opponents say it will change much. The Hirak has rejected the document and called for a boycott.
\"Nothing has changed. The ultra-presidential regime will stay,\" said Massena’s Cherbi, a constitutional expert at Sciences Po university in Paris.
'Rendezvous with history'
The text will set presidential term limits and create a new anti-corruption body but it has been criticized.
\"The drafting and consultation process was highly controlled by the state,\" said Zaid al-Ali, an expert on constitutions in the Arab world. \"It's hard to argue that the Hirak's demands for a fully inclusive debate on the state's constitution was respected.\"
The vote comes on the anniversary of the start of Algeria's war of independence against France in 1954.
It also comes as Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is hospitalised in Germany. His health condition has not been disclosed but there are reports of Covid-19 cases among his staff.
Tebboune, 74, said on Saturday that Algerians will once again \"have a rendezvous with history\" to bring in a \"new era capable of fulfilling the hopes of the nation and the aspirations of our people for a strong, modern and democratic state\".
Seen by opponents as an old-school regime insider, Tebboune came to power following a December 2019 presidential poll marred by record abstentionism.
The Hirak movement led calls for a boycott of that election, and even official data put the turnout at less than 40 percent.
Polling stations opened at 8:00 am (0700 GMT) and were set to close at 7:00 pm. Results are expected on Monday.
