WALKER: Welcome back, everyone. The University of Texas at Austin has a new professor.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right, all right, all right. How you doing?</s>WALKER: Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey who graduated from U.T. in 1993 will be a professor of practice at the Moody College of Communication. McConaughey has been a visiting professor since 2015, co-teaching the script to screen production class.</s>BRIGGS: That'll be fun. Serena Williams surviving a scare last night in the second round of the U.S. Open. Andy Scholes has more in the "Bleacher Report". Good morning, my friend.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Yes, good morning, Dave. You know, Serena had never lost a set in the second round of the U.S. Open. So, when it happened last night, fans got a little nervous. Seventeen-year-old American Katie McNally taking the first set, but Serena was able to get it together. She went on to win the next two sets. 6-3, 6-1 to take the match and it ended right at about midnight. Serena seemed a little tired afterwards.</s>SERENA WILLIAMS, 23-TIME MAJOR WINNER: Serena, you made way too many errors today. What were you thinking? But it's OK. I'm alive. I'm still here. I'm happy to be on this court somehow and I'll do better, I promise.</s>SCHOLES: Serena's sister unable to rally like she did. The 39-year- old took on Elina Svitolina. And Venus, she didn't go down without a fight though. She stayed off five match points, but she would eventually lose this one, 6-4, 6-4. It's Venus's earliest exit at the Open in six years. All right. To baseball, Rangers and Angels last night, Brian Goodwin hits this deep to center field. Check out Delino DeShields tracking it perfectly leaps at the wall, robbed the home run. He didn't reveal he had the ball for a moment to mess with Goodwin. Both of them having a nice laugh. DeShields playing around like he was taking a bite out of that baseball. Pretty funny stuff. All right. Finally, here's a little peewee football. Check out little guy named Dom. He gets the handoff. He goes behind the back with the football not once but twice before taking it to the house. Dave, I would love to know what his coach had to say about going behind the back with the football because that's not really the brightest strategy in terms of ball security, I would think, right?</s>BRIGGS: Wow, Andy. Already worried about ball security. That is outstanding.</s>SCHOLES: That goes to fundamentals.</s>BRIGGS: Nice analysis though. I appreciate that. Andy Scholes, good stuff.</s>SCHOLES: All right.</s>BRIGGS: What's coming up?</s>WALKER: We are tracking Hurricane Dorian. The path shifting west, putting the entire state of Florida on alert. We're going to speak with the mayor of Miami when we come back.
