LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA’s defense has made marked improvement in D’Anton Lynn’s first season as coordinator. That unit though will face its biggest litmus test of the season on Saturday when the Bruins host No. 13 Washington State at the Rose Bowl.The unbeaten Cougars (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) come into the game with the nation’s sixth-ranked offense and have what might be the Pac-12’s most overlooked quarterback in Cameron Ward. While most of the attention has been focused on USC’s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Michael Penix and Colorado’s Shadeur Sanders, Ward is third nationally in passing (347.2 yards per game) and total offense (374.5 ypg).“I think he should be in the conversation with the top quarterbacks in the country,” UCLA coach Chip Kelly said. “He’s athletic, he’s sharp, he throws an extremely accurate ball. I think he’s got great ball location, repetitive accuracy.”Ward and the Cougars have already had two significant victories. Th...

Sign up for Maryland Matters’ free email subscription today.Maryland families who had to make multiple withdrawals from tax-free college savings accounts shouldn’t face a tax penalty because of errors plaguing the now-discontinued state Prepaid College Trust program, federal lawmakers said Wednesday.Access to the principal balance in more than 30,000 trust accounts was frozen for more than a year after the former Maryland 529 board discovered a widespread accounting error in early 2022.Now families may need to make multiple rollovers to catch up with college expenses, which could lead to a 10% penalty the lawmakers want waived.“Owners of 529 accounts may initiate a single 529 plan rollover per beneficiary within a 12-month period. Executing more than one rollover within this period would make the additional rollovers taxable and potentially subject to a 10% penalty. Due to unique and unexpect...
