LEXINGTON, Ky. Air Max 90 2018 . -- Despite the loss of its starting quarterback and with the help of two backups, Kentucky rolled in the second half and picked up its first win, 62-42 over New Mexico State on Saturday.Benjamin Snell Jr. ran for four touchdowns and Stephen Johnson added three touchdown passes to lead the Wildcats to a victory that didnt come easily -- it was 35-all at halftime -- for Kentucky (1-2), which lost its first two games to open the season for the first time in 20 years. The Wildcats outscored New Mexico State 27-7 in the second half to avoid their third straight loss.Drew Barker started at quarterback for Kentucky but left the game and did not return because of what was announced as a right leg injury after he threw an interception on the first series. Wildcats coach Mark Stoops said afterward that Barker sustained a back injury.After a shaky start, Johnson settled down in Barkers absence to steer the Wildcats in front of 49,669 fans, the smallest in Stoops four-year tenure.Johnson was 17 of 22 passing for 310 yards, and added 51 yards rushing. Snell, a third-string freshman, finished with 136 yards and tied a school record for rushing TDs. Stanley Boom Williams added 181 yards rushing on 18 carries and a TD.Johnson threw a 72-yard scoring strike to C.J. Conrad in the first quarter. Conrad finished with five catches for 133 yards and three scores.It feels great and it feels phenomenal, Johnson said. At this level and in the Southeastern Conference, every game is a big game.Stoops lauded the play of Johnson, who relieved Barker and led Kentucky to its only touchdown in a 45-7 loss at Florida last Saturday.It was good to see Stephen come in and play like that, Stoops said. To see him play like he did was really good. I thought he calmed down and made some good decisions -- early on it was a little rough. He settled in and he has a lot of poise.Stoops wasnt surprised by Snells performance and said he has competed at a high level since arriving on campus this fall. He plays much more mature than a true freshman, the coach said. Thats really good to see.New Mexico States (1-2) Tyler Rogers was 16 of 33 for 246 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for two scores. Johnathan Boone had two receptions, both first-quarter TDs, for the Aggies.With the Wildcats leading 55-42 early in the fourth quarter, Rogers led a 10-play, 66-yard drive to the Kentucky 9 before throwing an interception to Derrick Baity in the end zone. Charles Walker later scored on a 65-yard punt return to cap the Wildcats scoring.THE TAKEAWAYKENTUCKY: Stoops, a former defensive coordinator at Florida State, became more involved in his teams defensive game plan last week after the Wildcats gave up 1,084 yards in the first two games. But the problems continued for Kentucky, which surrendered 500 yards to the Aggies. On the flip side, the Wildcats finished with a season-high 692 yards of offense.I was happy with the way our team responded, Stoops said. A victory is a victory. Were 1-2 and we have a chance to get to .500 next week. Well take a victory any way we can. Were going to learn from it and get better.Stoops said Barker was taken to a nearby hospital but didnt know the extent of his injury.NEW MEXICO STATE: The Aggies, coming off a 32-31 victory over New Mexico, fell to 0-20 against SEC opponents. Coach Doug Martin, a former Kentucky quarterback and graduate assistant, is now 0-2 against his former team.UP NEXTKENTUCKY: The Wildcats return to conference play and host South Carolina on Saturday.NEW MEXICO STATE: The Aggies open their Sun Belt schedule at Troy on Saturday in the conference opener for both teams. The Trojans are coached by former Kentucky offensive coordinator Neal Brown.----AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org Nike Vapormax Wholesale .

The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. Chris Amon, the man widely considered to be the best never to have won a Formula One race, has died aged 73 in New Zealand after a long battle with cancer.Amon competed in F1 between 1963 and 1976, which included a three-year spell at Ferrari. His career began slowly with races for Reg Parnell Racing but his performances improved enough to catch the attention of Enzo Ferrari in 1967, prompting an invitation to join his team that year.Despite a run of podiums and pole positions in his time at Ferrari, reliability issues and bad luck continued to dog his career and prevented him claiming the win his peers felt he deserved. He quit Ferrari mid-way through the 1969 season after his most frustrating campaign, joining March Engineering the following year.Spells at Matra and Tyrrell followed, before a failed attempt at running his own team, Chris Amon Racing, in 1974. His career finished with further stints at Ensign and Wolff in 1975 and 1976.Amon called time on his career after witnessing Niki Laudas horrific crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix. Having seen the flaming wreck of Laudas Ferrari, Amon refused to join the race restart and was fired by the Ensign team -- prompting him to retire from F1. ?He briefly returned with Wolf at the end of the season but failed to qualify for a race.?Amon did enjoy more success outside of Formula One, winning the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours with fellow Kiwi Bruce McLaren - founder of the eponymous team which still carries his name. Nike Vapormax Mens Cheap. Current McLaren chairman Ron Dennis paid tribute to the late Amon on Wednesday morning.It was with profound sadness that I heard the news this morning that Chris Amon had passed away, Dennis said.Chris started 96 Grands Prix but won not one of them -- and it is safe to say that he was the greatest racing driver never to have won a race at the very highest level. He nearly won a fair few, but always it seemed that his luck would run out before he saw the chequered flag.However, he won at Le Mans, in a mighty 7.0-litre Ford, exactly 50 years ago, his co-driver his friend and fellow Kiwi, Bruce McLaren, whose name still graces the team to which I have devoted my working life. I have not met Chris for many years, but, even so, I have extremely fond memories of him, and indeed I would describe him as one of the most likeable men I have met in my long racing career.For all those reasons I want to take this opportunity to extend the heartfelt sympathies of all 3300 of us at McLaren to the family and friends of a great New Zealander, a true gentleman, and one of the fastest racing drivers there ever was: the one and only Christopher Arthur Amon.May he rest in peace. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
