Subscribe today!Houston TexansOverall: 39 Title track: 72 Ownership: 35 Coaching: 45 Players: 29 Fan relations: 27 Affordability: 71 Stadium experience: 52 Bang for the buck: 56 Change from last year: +11The Texans are up 11 spots from last years rankings, likely in part to the big offseason the team had after winning the AFC South last year. After a season of revolving quarterbacks that ended with a 30-0 blowout by the Chiefs in the wild-card game, Houston upgraded its offense in a big way, including signing quarterback Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract.Whats goodThe Texans defense is always a highlight, and its talented and personable roster helps Houston to its highest ranking in these standings, in players (29th overall). Defensive end J.J. Watts season-ending injury is a blow, but the Texans front seven has been very impactful early in the season and has found success getting to the quarterback. In addition to Osweiler at QB, the Texans signed running back Lamar Miller, and drafted receivers Will Fuller (first round) and Braxton Miller (third round). After last season, when the Texans had four different starting QBs and lost starting running back Arian Foster for most of the season due to injuries, the TTexans made sure to improve. Brian Dozier Jersey. Whats badThough the Texans have shown promise with their commitment to building the team, it appears that, with a title track ranking of 72, fans still dont think this team is ready to contend. In the Texans 14-year history, the team has five playoff appearances -- just two victories -- and its never made it out of the divisional round. Houston still has a ways to go, but a 3-1 start to the 2016 season is promising, as the Texans try to defend their AFC South title and win the division for consecutive years for just the second time in team history.Whats newThough the Texans average season-ticket price went up slightly this season, the franchise still ranks in the middle of the pack of NFL teams in average ticket price. But the product on the field has improved, which leads to a 17-spot jump in bang for the buck. The Texans also did a lot during the offseason to improve the stadium experience. NRG Stadium has new (and better) Wifi, as well as new food (the addition of local favorite Killens Barbecue). Fans can also now check out free energy packs to charge their phones during the games.Next: New Orleans Saints?| Full rankings Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' ' 

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. Josh Harrison Jersey . -- Dru Brown to Marcus Kemp pulled Hawaii into a tie in overtime. Take II pushed them over the top as the dynamic duo came through in a big way.Given a reprieve at the end of regulation by a missed field goal, the Rainbow Warriors took full advantage with back-to-back TD strikes as they beat Air Force 34-27 in double overtime on Saturday to end the Falcons 15-game home winning streak.Brown threw a 25-yard TD pass to Kemp on the first play of the second overtime to give Hawaii (4-4, 3-1 Mountain West) the lead. Jalen Rogers intercepted a Nate Romine pass on fourth down to seal it and the Rainbow Warriors rushed the field in exuberance.When the ball went in the air, I just knew it was over, Rogers said. I knew I was either going to break it up or pick it.Brown and Kemp also connected on a 13-yard score in the first OT after Romine summersaulted into the end zone for a 5-yard score on Air Forces possession.Luke Strebel, who had made a Mountain West record 22 straight field goals, had a chance to win it on the final play of regulation, but his 32-yard attempt went wide right.They put me in a great spot to make a big play. Unfortunately, sometimes they dont go your way, Strebel said. You look back on it and you think, `I make that 99 times out of 100. Its easy. Its a shame that that had to be the one.Brown finished with a career-high 312 yards passing for Hawaii, including a 40-yard TD strike to John Ursua to tie it at 20 with 11:51 remaining. He also threw two interceptions after entering with a streak of 112 passes without a pick.Ursua had seven catches for 108 yards and Kemp six grabs for 151.To be a receiver you have to be confident. To be a big-time player you need to be confident in yourself, so I believe I can beat almost anybody, said Kemp, who burned Air Force senior DB Roland Ladipo for both OT scores.The Falcons (4-3, 1-3) lost at Falcon Stadium for the first time since Nov. 21, 2013, against UNLV. Theyve now dropped three in a row after a 4-0 start.There was a scary moment early in the third quarter when Air Force defensive back Jesse Washington was strapped to a stretcher and taken off the field after being tackled during an interception return. The senior was on the ground for several minutes and tended to by team medical personnel. He gave two thumbs up as he was taken off the field.Washington was traveling up the right sideline on his 27-yard interception return when Hawaii tailback Diocemy Saint Juste tackled him. Washingtons head appeared to snap back.Thats our brother and you see him lying there with his eyes closed, said defensive back Brodie Hicks, who had the interception that ended Browns string. Ive never been more scared in my life.Washington had full movement in his extremities and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, the team announced.THE TAKEAWAYHAWAII: Trailed three times and rallied back. The Rainbow Warriors were routed 58-7 last season by Air Force and a day later, head coach Norm Chow was fired.I was just so happy my team came away with the win because of last year and the score last year and the things that we went through, said Rogers, whose team captured the Kuter Trophy thats given to the winner of this rivalry. But things are changing.AIR FORCE: The Falcons couldnt get any sort of passing game going against the Rainbow Warriors. Romine finished 1 for 10 for 20 yards.GAME BALL TO MOMRogers rushed over to the stands and threw the ball he intercepted to his mom.Hopefully she got away with it and I dont have to pay for it, Rogers said with a smile.NO BLAME GAMEAir Force got the ball with 8:18 remaining in regulation and methodically worked it down the field, only to have Strebels kick sail wide. He connected from 47 and 42 yards in the third quarter.His teammates had his back.Sometimes, you just miss, Hicks said. Im not mad at him at all. The team isnt.UP NEXTHAWAII: Hosts New Mexico next Saturday. The Lobos have won the last six over the Rainbow Warriors.AIR FORCE: Travels to Fresno State on Friday.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Felipe Vazquez Jersey . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken.

Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. http://www.piratesrookiestore.com/Pirates-Austin-Meadows-Kids-Jersey/ .J. Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. By now, Meb Keflezighi is familiar with every patch of asphalt on the New York City Marathon route.He has run the race 10 times, finishing as high as first and as far back as 23rd. Its a race he holds dear for his 2009 victory -- coming at a time when some believed his career was over -- and for the way the city has opened its arms to him, time and again. Fans have cheered his every stride through the five boroughs. He calls it the marathon of the world for its diverse field and crowds.So, hes excited to return to New York for Sundays race. This time, hes even guaranteed a lead position.For the first time since 2012, Keflezighi, 41, wont be running. Instead, hell be one of the races grand marshals, along with his U.S. marathon teammates from this summers Olympics. Hell be in the lead vehicle with a chance to see the race unfold without breaking a sweat.Its going to be a whole different perspective, he said.Related story from Competitor.com: How to watch the NYC MarathonRelated story from Competitor.com: Molly Huddle ready for her marathon debutThese days, Keflezighi is taking some time to look at everything from a new angle. After competing in his fourth Olympics, hes transitioning into a retirement that could take many shapes. Its a transition that will take a while.He plans to run two more marathons, both in 2017. That would give him 26 career marathon finishes.Twenty-six marathons for the distance, he said, referring to the races 26.2-mile length. And Im also going to be 42 years old. In terms of running international, its 42 kilometers and 195 meters. So, 42 years old and 26 marathons in honor of the distance.He said nothing is official on which races hell run. Hes hopeful they will be Boston and New York. A finale in New York would be a fitting farewell. He made his marathon debut there in 2002.But were still working out the details, he said.Keflezighi will continue to train and run through next year and beyond, but he knows its time for his marathon career to end. After that, hell run half-marathons, 15Ks, 10Ks and other shorter distances, while putting most of his attention on his family, his Meb Foundation and business and charitable interests.Ive been running 26 years, he said. I just dont want to do competitive marathons where people, believe it or not, still expect me to win. Even though Im 41, 42, they want me to win. But expectations, external and internal -- even though I have the desire to do those things, go to Rio, get the gold -- I wish it were that simple. Everything has to click. Sometimes, you just have to be thankful for the things you have earned.No unturned stonesWhat Keflezighi has earned has been remarkable.Hes the only marathoner to have won an Olympic medal (silver in 2004) while also winning at Boston and New York. He was on the 2000, 2004, 2012 and 2016 U.S. Olympic teams. He won 23 national championships at various distances. And he won four NCAA titles at UCLA before turning pro in 1998.My career has been more special than I could have ever imagined, he said. Im grateful for that.He said theres no unturned stones in his marathon career. He has accomplished more than he dreamed. His only goal for his final two marathons will be to finish in the top 10. They wont be ceremonial strolls.I dont want to say, Ahh, I just finished it, he said. I want to finish strong and be as competitive as I can be.Keflezighi, who came to the United States with his familly from war-torn Eritrea at the age of 12, discovered running as a middle schooler in San Diego. Dave Parker Jersey. He then became a standout at San Diego High School and earned a scholarship to UCLA. He excelled at cross country and the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. He made his first Olympic team in the 10,000 and competed in the 2000 Sydney Summer Games. The following year, he set a U.S. 10K record (27:13.98).It wasnt until 2002 that he ran his first marathon, finishing New York in 2:12:35, good for ninth place.At the time, he said he never wanted to do a marathon again -- yet he actually had found his calling. Now he laughs when sharing his only regret: What I now know, I wish I knew then.Whats next?Keflezighis whole focus earlier this year was on making the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and doing as well as possible. He qualified by finishing second in the U.S. trials in Los Angeles in February, running 2:12:20. At 40, he became the oldest American marathoner to qualify for the summer games.He went into the Olympics feeling strong, but he got sick on race day and had to stop several times to throw up. He willed himself to continue. Then, as he approached the finish, he slipped on the wet pavement and fell face down across the line -- where he promptly did three pushups to show he was fine, got up and celebrated his 33rd-place finish in 2:16:46.Though disappointed, hes proud of what he did in Brazil. One reason he wanted to go to a fourth Olympics was so his three daughters (ages 10, 8 and 6) would have a memory of their father in the Rio Games.They were there at the finish with wife Yordanos, brother Hawi and longtime coach Bob Larsen.They remember it, Keflezighi said. That was the whole goal. My youngest daughter does remember. When she was asked what was the best part of the summer, she said, When Daddy competed in Rio.Time with his wife and daughters is at the top of Keflezighis wish list now, as he transitions into retirement. He said travel and training have taken too much time from them.He hopes to blend family time with the work he does for the Meb Foundation, which is focused on helping children to be healthy and successful. Also on that list is doing public speaking and coaching. Hes interested in coaching every type of athlete, from collegiate standouts to men and women who simply want to complete in a half-marathon.Keflezighi said he doesnt want to be known as just a fine runner but also as a positive citizen and contributor to society.And Keflezighis post-marathon world also will be filled with appearances and work for his many sponsors. Last weekend, he was at a half-marathon in Sonoma, California, mingling with runners for a company that makes jerky products. Included among his other sponsors are companies that make shoes, printers, nutrition bars, compression socks, sunglasses and tires.Though he wont be running in Sundays New York City Marathon, hes still having a busy race week. On Tuesday, he received an award from famed distance runner Grete Waitzs AKTIV Against Cancer organization for his philanthropic work, and hell take part in a news conference with the grand marshals Thursday.Twenty-four marathons down, two to go. Theres still more work to do.It is my plan, said Keflezighi, laughing, but sometimes you wonder why you come up with these things.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Cal Ripken Jersey . -- The NCAA announced Tuesday that 77 percent of black mens Division I basketball players who entered college in 2009 earned a degree within six years, up five points from a year earlier and a record high.That improvement helped the overall Graduation Success Rate match last years record of 86 percent of athletes graduating within six years, the NCAA said. Of all black Division I student-athletes, 74 percent graduated within six years. NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a news release the improved rates were hugely significant.Over the last 15 years, the overall Graduation Success Rate has dramatically improved, but the really good news is how college sports helps more and more minority students, especially those playing our highest-profile sport, earn a degree that will help them long after their athletics career is over, he said.The graduation rate for black basketball players is up 31 percentage points over the past 15 years, the NCAA said . Overall, all black male athletes have increased their GSR by 19 percentage points to 70 percent during that time. Black female athletes improved their rate 13 points to 84 percent over that same time.For all Division I athletes, the rate increased 12 percentage points during the past 15 years.B. David Ridpath, an associate professor and sports business and president of The Drake Group, an NCAA watchdog, said the GSR provides only a partial picture, pointing to reports of athletes at North Carolina taking courses aimed at boosting their GPAs in a department popular with athletes.Are we essentially practicing eligibility maintenance, potentially in a major with friendly faculty? he said. Are these kids graduating with a very meaningful, vital degree that can benefit them for the next 50 to 60 years of their life? In some cases, yes, this is happening. But all too often -- and I know this because I worked in college athletics -- were essentially pushing these kids through, keeping them eligible and in cases where they do graduate they might not be graduating with the requisite skills.Among football teams in The Associated Press Top 25 , the only teams with a GSR 65 percent or lower were No. 25 Troy at 65 percent and No. 13 Oklahoma State at 50 percent. Among Top 25 mens basketball teams , No. 4 Oregon had a GSR of 38 percent, No. 25 California 40 percent, No. 5 North Carolina, No. 18 Syracuse and No. 24 Cincinnati all had GSRs of 50 percent, and No. 13 Michigan State has a GSR of 63 percent.The University of Connecticut mens basketball team had one of the lower graduation rates at 22 percent, according to the latest results. But those 2009 numbers were actually a big improvement over previous years. The teams GSR rose from just 8 percent in 2006, 17 percent the following year and 20 percent in 2008.School spokesman Mike Enright said the poor graduation rate reflects the same time period for which UConn was sanctioned by the NCAA and missed the 2013 postseason because of an another indicator, the Academic Progress Rate, which measures whether players are in good academic standing.The school has reported perfect or near perfect APR scores since 2012-13 and is expecting similar numbers this year, Enright said. He also said all current members of the basketball team are on track to graduate.The academic achievement of our mens basketball team has been outstanding the past several years and I have a full expectation that this will continue, athletic director David Benedict said.---AP Sports Writer Pat Eaton-Robb in Storrs, Connecticut, contributed to this report.

TORONTO -- Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins expects second baseman Devon Travis to return from a sore right knee and play in the AL Championship Series and says left-hander Francisco Liriano is improving after a concussion last week. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Brett-Favre-Jersey/ .Travis missed the final two games of Torontos AL Division Series sweep of Texas because of a bone bruise and might have been removed from the roster had the series gone longer.Atkins said Travis has been able to put weight on the knee while fielding grounders, hitting, and running since being scratched from Game 2.Every day is better, every hour is better, Atkins said Monday. Feeling better and better about him being a part of the ALCS, which is why we didnt replace him. We were optimistic that he would turn the corner and it seems like he is. Its not definite that hes going to be playable but we feel very good about it. Today was his best day.Lirianio was injured in the eighth inning of Game 2 when he struck in the back of the head by a Carlos Gomez line drive measured at 102 mph. Liriano exited the stadium before Sundays Game 3 in Toronto because he wasnt feeling well but was feeling better Monday, Atkins said.He had an awesome day, Atkins said. He came in and was able to do some physical activities with no symptoms, which is a very positive sign.Liriano is ineligible until Game 2 of the ALCS after being removed from Torontos Division Series roster.With time to rest and recuperate before the ALCS begins Friday at Cleveland, Atkins said the Blue Jays arent rushing to line up their rotation.Weve talked a little bit about several hypotheticals, Atkins said. Fortunately now we can control it more than most. I think what well do is take our time -- not too much to make sure were not disrupting routine -- but take our time to think through it extensively and make sure were putting our best foot forward for not only this series but moving beyond it.Right-hander Marcus Stroman, in line to pitch Game 4 of the ALDS, last started in the Oct. 4 wild card game victory over Baltimore.The sooner we decide the sooner we can set up more structure for them, Atkins said. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Grady-Jarrett-Jersey/ .

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Finally, thanks to No. 3 Louisville and No. 5 Clemson, we were treated to a highly anticipated showdown that lived up to its billing. With two teams featuring superstar quarterbacks and national championship aspirations, playing in a raucous atmosphere in Death Valley, the 2016 college football season kicked into another gear.?Weve seen plenty of quality matchups between ranked teams in the first month of the season, but we hadnt yet watched two really, really good teams battle all the way to a nerve-wracking, dramatic ending, with high stakes in their conference-title race as well as for their places in the College Football Playoff.?We saw all of that and more in Clemsons 42-36 victory, which ended with Tigers cornerback?Marcus Edmond knocking Cardinals receiver James Quick out of bounds at the Clemson 3-yard line on fourth down -- 1 yard short of a first down with 33 seconds to play.We want to be 12-0 and you cant win 12 until you win five, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. At the end of the day, you either have the heart or you dont. You either have the will to win or you dont.Louisvilles loss was crushing but probably doesnt entirely end its playoff hopes, depending on what happens in the other Power 5 leagues.If you were looking for starker examples of those crushing moments of fan disbelief, Saturday provided them. In college football, we have a name for those moments of utter incredulity -- Surrender Cobra -- and none was more indelible than what happened in the final seconds of No. 11 Tennessees 34-31 victory over No. 25 Georgia at Sanford Stadium.After blowing a 17-point lead, the Bulldogs trailed 28-24 before freshman quarterback Jacob Eason fired a 47-yard touchdown to freshman Riley Ridley down the left sideline to regain the lead, 31-28 with 10 seconds left.Almost immediately, several Tennessee fans locked their hands above their heads, which has become the universal sign of disbelief when a team makes a disastrous play or an opponent does something amazing.What happened next resulted in a rare double Surrender Cobra. During Georgias celebration, a player ran onto the field without his helmet, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. The Bulldogs were also penalized for being offside on the ensuing kickoff, and the Volunteers returned the short pooch kick to Georgias 43-yard line.With only four seconds left, Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs fired a Hail Mary into the end zone. Receiver Jauan Jennings was surrounded by five Georgia defenders, but somehow came down with the ball for a 43-yard touchdown, giving the Volunteers an improbable victory that wont soon (if ever) be forgotten.Sick way to end the game, obviously, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said.Tennessee erased a big deficit to win for the second week in a row and took control of the SEC East. While its probably premature to include the Volunteers in the upper echelon of playoff contenders with the likes of No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State, it has becoming increasingly clear that this very well might be their year after largely suffering disappointment for more than a decade.I thought we had a chance, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. Its one of those moments in time that youll remember forever. Ive also been on the other end of them, too, and you remember them forever. I think its a great illustration that you play until the clock hits zeros.Ask Florida State fans about that. North Carolinas Nick Weiler kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give the Tar Heels a 37-35 victory, which ended the Seminoles 22-game home winning streak. Making matters worse, FSU fans had to suffer through the worst kind of Surrender Cobra. After winning the game, North Carolinas long-haired kicker ran through Doak Campbell Stadium taunting fans. Talk about a gut punch.Iowa State fans also suffered mightily from the cruelest kind of Surrender Cobra -- the one brought on by succumbing to false hope. The Cyclones had a 14-point lead over No. 13 Baylor going into the fourth quarter, but the Bears scored the games final 17 points to escape with a 45-42 victory. Chris Callahan kicked a 19-yard field goal on the final play to keep Baylor undefeated.I dont know what changed, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. I just think a couple of guys had chances to make plays and just didnt make them.Speaking of false hope, Utah fans had to be feeling pretty confident in the final seconds at California. With the Bears leading 28-23, the Utes had first-and-goal at the Cal 2 with 14 seconds left. But the Bears defense somehow held Utah out of the end zone on three straight plays, stuffing?Zack Moss?for no gain as time expired.A tough game to lose but proud of our guys for how they hung in there and fought back, just like weve done many times previously in the season, Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said. Were just one play away there.Imagine how Texas fans feel. They had to watch in total surrender as the No. 22 Longhorns failed to make even the most basic of plays, like extra points. Oklahoma State blocked three point-after kicks, returning one of them for two points, in a 49-31 victory.The loss drops Texas to 2-2 and puts coach Charlie Strong back on the hot seat. The Cowboys 49 points were their most ever scored against Texas, which has given up at least 45 points in three of its first four games for the first time in school history.Texas performance was so bad coming off a bye week that interim athletic director Mike Perrin told reporters he would evaluate everything about the program.We still have a lot of work to do, Strong said. We still have a long way to go. We told our guys this isnt enough. We had three field goals and extra points blocked, and it was just right up the pipe. ... Weve got some work to do, and we just havee to get it done. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Steve-Bartkowski-Jersey/. .Playoff teams after Week 51. Alabama: The Tide got off to a slow start against Kentucky, but eventually broke through in a 34-3 win over the Wildcats. Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 20 of 33 passes for 262 yards with two touchdowns to Calvin Ridley, who caught 11 passes for 174 yards.2. Ohio State: The Buckeyes demolished Rutgers 58-0, outgaining the Scarlet Knights by 553 yards of total offense. It was Urban Meyers fifth shutout of at least 50 points, the most by an Ohio State coach since the end of World War II.3. Clemson: After the Tigers beat Louisville, Dabo Swinney now has 14 wins over AP-ranked opponents, second only to Danny Ford (18) in school history. The Tigers travel to Boston College on Friday.?4. Michigan: The Wolverines were far from perfect in their 14-7 win over Wisconsin, which was their first victory over an AP top-10 team since beating the No. 9 Badgers in 2008. Michigans defense was salty, though, holding Wisconsin to 88 passing yards and 71 rushing.Next four in contention1. Washington: The Huskies clobbered Stanford 44-6 on Friday night to take control of the Pac-12 North. It was Washingtons biggest win over an AP top-10 opponent since shutting out No. 5 USC 31-0 in 1990. The Huskies will try to end a 12-game losing streak against Oregon in Eugene next week.2. Houston: The Cougars atoned for their only loss last season, beating Connecticut 42-14 on Thursday night. Houstons defense had four sacks, and the Cougars probably wont be tested until their Nov. 17 showdown against Louisville.3. Tennessee: The Vols trailed by as many as 17 points at Georgia, and theyre now 4-0 in games in which they trailed by at least two touchdowns during the past two seasons. They erased a 21-point lead against Florida last week, a 14-point deficit against Virginia Tech earlier this season and a 21-point hole against Georgia last season.4. Texas A&M: The Aggies improved to 5-0 for the third straight season with a 24-13 win at South Carolina. Its the first time theyve started 3-0 in the SEC since joining the conference in 2012 and their first such start in any league since going 4-0 in the Big 12 in 2004. They host Tennessee next week.Heisman candidates1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville: Jackson led Louisville to scores on its first five drives of the second half and had 135 of his 162 rushing yards after halftime. The Cardinals came up empty on their final two drives, however, as Clemson came back to win 42-36. Jackson finished with 457 total yards and three touchdowns.2. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson: In the first quarter, Watson completed 1 of 6 passes for 1 yard. In the final three quarters, he was responsible for 369 yards and five touchdowns, becoming the third player in the past five seasons to pass for over 300 yards and five touchdowns, and rush for 91 yards against a ranked opponent in the Tigers win over Louisville.?3. Greg Ward Jr., QB, Houston: Ward was nearly perfect against UConn on Thursday night, completing 32 of 38 passes for 389 yards with three touchdowns and also rushing for 65 yards with two scores. He has accounted for 13 touchdowns in four games.4. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State: Barrett set an Ohio State record for career touchdowns by throwing four more against Rutgers. Barrett has now thrown 59 touchdowns in 27 career games. It was also his seventh game with at least four touchdown passes, another OSU record.Tweets of the nightBest momentsBest playsWorst playsQuotes of the night1. Thats something we practice every week -- last-play defense. You put your best jumpers in the end zone and everybody gets up and gets the ball down. We do drills to rep it. Their kid just went up and got it. -- Georgia coach Kirby Smart2. A wise man once said, You even have to bring your ugly babies home from the hospital, and that was ugly. In fact, that might have been what someone told my dad when I was born. But I feel really good that our guys found a way to win. -- Florida coach Jim McElwain, after the No. 23 Gators won 13-6 at Vanderbilt.3. You want the kids to see results. I thought over the last four weeks -- that September is one I dont want to remember -- but they put so much work in to see results. To come home after a tough loss to Utah, I commend our staff in helping the kids to keep believing and keep getting better, and it paid off today. -- USC coach Clay Helton, after the Trojans 41-20 win over previously unbeaten Arizona State4. We said, Hey, we think were going to get them stopped. [Defensive coordinator Art Kaufman] told me, Were going to get this. Were going to get them stopped, and he was right. -- California coach Sonny Dykes, on his defenses goal-line stand to beat Utah, in which the Bears kept the Utes out of the end zone on seven plays inside the Cal 10-yard line.Stats that matter1. 1-130: FBS teams that trailed by 14 points or more in the fourth quarter had a 1-130 record this season, according to ESPN Stats & Info. No. 13 Baylor trailed 42-28 with less than 12 minutes to play at Iowa State, but scored the final 17 points to escape with a 45-42 victory.2.?634: LSU had 634 yards of offense in a 42-7 win over Missouri in Ed Orgerons first game as interim coach. The Tigers set a school record for total offense in a game against an SEC opponent.3. 19: Air Force defeated Navy 28-14 on Saturday to improve to 4-0. The winner of the game has claimed each of the past 19 Commander-in-Chiefs trophies.4. 41: Colorado improved to 4-1 by blasting Oregon State 47-6. It was the Buffaloes most lopsided win in a conference game since defeating Kansas State 54-7 in the Big 8 in 1992.

Some things to learn from, but really no positives.Amid growing negativity surrounding a winless team, Jackson emphatically said that he will make no in-season changes on his coaching staff. Specifically asked about coordinator Ray Horton and the teams struggling defense, Jackson said Hortons job is secure.I say that with no question, Jackson said. And I dont want to continue to get into those kind of things. Thats probably the last question I will probably take on any of our staff members about their job.

Instead, they are one win away from setting the team record for losses to start a season.It is tough, Jackson said. There were no positives from Sunday, but I think there have been some positives.

WICB chief executive officer Michael Muirhead has said there was no one specific reason for the termination of coach Phil Simmons contract, nor was it a sudden development. Bryce Harper Jersey . In a nutshell, Muirhead said, Simmons vision did not align with the strategic approach of the WICB and the divide widened over the past few months, reaching a point where a final decision had to be made.The decision to relieve Simmons of the job was taken by the board of directors at the quarterly WICB meeting last weekend in Dominica. It is understood the directors were asked to vote on the matter, but Muirhead would not reveal whether it was a unanimous decision to terminate Simmons contract. It was the boards decision. Let us leave it at that, Muirhead told ESPNcricinfo.Asked whether it was his appraisal that eventually led to the decision, Muirhead did not reveal much. I hired him, so therefore I have to release him but that is on the recommendation of the board, he said. He did point out though that the WICB and Simmons had been deliberating on quite a few contentious issues behind the scenes. The coach has an opinion and the board collectively had another opinion, and that had happened on more than one occasion.It is a whole number of things over a period of time. I cant say it was really one thing. There is no one thing that defines what may have taken place. I think things came to a climax when a decision needed to be made.Simmons track record as West Indies coach was mixed. Appointed after last years World Cup, the high points of his tenure were West Indies draw at home against England last summer, and the World T20 win in India in April. Importantly, the players seemed to be on the same wavelength as Simmons. But Muirhead and the board of directors remained unconvinced. Ultimately it is performance of the team, and we want the team to perform the best it can do, Muirhead said. Was it [doing so] is a question that is still unanswered.Technically, Muirhead was not Simmons boss. That was Richard Pybus, the WICB director of cricket. Simmons had mentioned in an interview that he and Pybus were not on the same page. Relationship is a difficult word, he had said of Pybus, soon after the World T20 triumph. He communicates via emails but he has not spoken to me since the suspension. Its sad because this is not about him or me, this is about West Indies cricket.At last weekends meetings, the board discussed several reports including the Cricket Report submitted by Pybus and the CEOs report prepared by Muirhead. Pybus report was an overall review of cricket across the Caribbean, not limited to the West Indies teams and coaching staff.Reiterating the lack of alignment in strategies, Muirhead said: It has been an ongoing thing where I think Phil, in all that he has said and done, he has not aligned… the relationships were breaking down. I think he himself had ideas for a different strategic approach, notwithstanding one already having been approved and adopted by the board. I dont think he was aligned with that.In a media release sent out on Tuesday, the WICB had pointed out it had identified differences in culture as one reason behind the friction between both parties. Muirhead elaborated: The other thing was the work culture was a little different. It was how we do business, how we execute things. It was an organisational culture. It was not the difference in ethnic culture as has been pointed out elsewhere.Muirhead said he had had conversations with Simmons, and he had to intervene on quite few occasions to resolve issues. The last time they had met was about two months ago, he said. When he called Simmons on Tuesday to reveal the boards decision, he said the chat was cordial and not hostile in any way.Muirhead pointed out it was a matter of coincidence that the Simmons termination was announced the day the West Indies limited-overs squad left for the UAE to play Pakistan. The sanctions and other things could not be discussed without the board meeting. We have board meetings every three months, where we discuss everything including the performance of the teams and the coaching staff. Matt Wieters Jersey .

Even in retirement, Richie McCaw continues to astound.The former All Blacks captain has taken to the skies to lend a hand in the aftermath of New Zealands latest earthquake disaster which struck early on Sunday morning and measured 7.5 on the Richter scale.McCaw, a qualified pilot, has been flying rescue missions and undertaking an advisory role as to the damage suffered across the country.Like everyone else, I got woken up at midnight... yeah a bit scary, McCaw told the New Zealand Herald.According to the Herald, McCaw helped fly two USAR teams to Kaikoura where one person died in a collapsed house.From there, we took the Fire Service just north and south of Kaikoura to chheck out all the slips and make sure everyone was accounted for, he said. Wilmer Difo Jersey. At one point, the railway was way out over the sea - it had been pushed out by slips. It would not have been a nice place to be at midnight last night.McCaw has previously helped fight the frost at vineyards owned by his friends in New Zealands Marlborough region.McCaw was recently in Chicago to witness the All Blacks loss to Ireland and before that he had endured an exhausting stint on the publicity trail promoting the release of his documentary, Chasing Great.

It was your typical NFL weekend with outstanding plays, the occasional upset, some key injuries, a record low for kickers across the league and enough intriguing results and headlines to keep us on the edge of our seats.These are just half a dozen key storylines that caught my eye on Sunday night. Cowboys look SuperThe Dallas Cowboys took the Baltimore Ravens best punches and kept on rolling, all the way to a 27-17 win that gave them their club record ninth consecutive victory. Baltimore came in with the NFLs top defence and the Cowboys were undeterred, racking up 417 yards of total offence. Ezekiel Elliott hurdles a Viking... Baltimore made it their mission to shut down Ezekiel Elliott and did a pretty good job of that in a first half in which the teams were tied at 10 apiece. But you can only contain Elliott for so long and he started to get more involved in the second half.Dak Prescott was outstanding as he threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns. He put the team on his back and delivered time and again, looking every inch the composed veteran quarterback. And more good news for the Cowboys is the fact that wide receiver Dez Bryant (six catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns) looks to be inching back to his best. Watch this poor sound guy get destroyed by the Minnesota Vikings! There is a long way to go and plenty of football still to be played, but these Cowboys have the look of a Super Bowl team. They can ride out adversity and continue to produce week in and week out - and that is a confidence thing as much as it is a physical component.

The Lions roarDont look now but here come the Detroit Lions looking to win their first NFC North division title since the days when the division went by a completely different name! The last time the Lions won their division it was the NFC Central in 1991, but they are on track after winning five of their last six.The 6-4 Lions enjoyed another typical day at the office in their 26-19 win over Jacksonville - it marked their 10th game this season decided by seven points or fewer. The only difference was that this win came without a touchdown pass from in-form quarterback Matthew Stafford. Wide receiver Andre Roberts scored a 55-yard punt return for the Detroit Lions Detroit scored on a tight end sweep from Eric Ebron, a 55-yard punt return from Andre Roberts and a pick six from Rafael Bush. That shows they can dig deep and win even when their star man does not have his best day at the office.Goff dream turns into nightmareIt never looked close to perfect from Jared Goff on Sunday night as the first overall pick in the 2016 Draft made his debut at quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. But it looked more than good enough as the Rams led 10-0 with just over four minutes remaining.But Goff didnt turn out to be the story of this game. That honour goes to an under-fire Ryan Tannehill, who was beaten up behind a make-shift offensive line missing Branden Albert and Mike Pouncey. Highlights of the Miami Dolphins win over the Los Angeles Rams in week 11 of the NFL But Tannehill has renewed belief under the leadership of quarterback-whispering head coach Adam Gase and with some late self-destruction from the Rams in terms of penalties and blown assignments, he led Miami to a fifth straight win with touchdown passes to Jarvis Landry and the impressive DeVante Parker.This may be a bit too simplistic but Ill say it anyway - Miami dont win that game under Joe Philbin, who was fired last year. Gase has lit a fire under this team and Tannehill delivered in a big way with the game on the line.And Goff? It was a definite mixed bag and there were a lot of times when he looked like a fresh-faced rookie - but he also showed enough to make me believe the Rams made the right decision with this move.Wilson back to full fitnessThe Seattle Seahawks looked in control from start to finish during their 26-15 win over Philadelphia and I think they present the biggest challenge to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC run to the Super Bowl. Highlights of the Seattle Seahawks 26-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Every NFL game is filled with big moments but one single play would give me great hope for the future if Im a Seahawks fan - Doug Baldwins 15-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Russell Wilson.There is no way the Seahawks run that play and send Wilson sprinting downfield to catch a pass from his wide receiver without him being fully healthy. And he does look back to his very best after early season ankle, knee and pectoral injuries. Russell Wilson hands the ball off and then receives the ball for a TD! That is good news for the Seahawks and great news for all neutrals who love watching Wilson shine as a passer, a runner and now a receiver.The missing menThe Cincinnati Bengals are having a bad year and, while there are many reasons, not many are greater than the list I am about to give you.The Bengals lost 16-12 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and it looks like they lost wide receiver A.J. Green and running back Giovani Bernard for the remainder of the year with hamstring and knee injuries, respectively. Highlights of the Buffalo Bills win over the Detroit Lions in week 11 of the NFL. Add those to tight end Tyler Eifert, who missed the first half of the season through injury, and free agent departing wide receivers Marvin Jones (Detroit) and Mohamed Sanu (Atlanta). For the cherry on top of the cake, throw in offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who left to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns and you get a clear picture of why the Bengals have just three wins to their name - that is too much offensive talent to lose in one lump sum and survive intact.Cousins inches towards long-term dealWashington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins gambled on himself in the off-season as he inked a one-year franchise tag deal with his NFC East club. And it looks like he is going to parlay that into a lucrative long-term contract as Washington are rolling at 6-3-1 following their Sunday night mauling of Green Bay.In high and swirling winds, Cousins did a masterful job of spreading the ball around and picked on the Packers much-maligned defensive backs to the tune of 375 yards and three touchdowns. Highlights from the Washington Redskins victory over the Green Bay Packers His opposite number - Aaron Rodgers - didnt do too much wrong with 351 yards and three scores of his own, but he got very little help from his defence and the Packers, for so long one of the serious contenders in the NFL, have now lost four straight to drop to 4-6 on the year.Finally on Cousins, I maintain that he is one of the growing quarterbacks in the NFL who we should keep an eye on. I think he is a fantastic player and a great leader in the locker room. Oh, and he will get rich in the coming off-season!Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

CHICAGO -- Joakim Noah believes that the Chicago Bulls made the right decision when they broke up the core of the team in the offseason.I think it was time for change, Noah said Friday. Theres no question about that. It seems like this is a happy group, enjoy being around one another. Thats good. Thats what its all about, thats how it should be.The Bulls traded Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks?during the summer and Noah signed with New York in free agency, transactions that broke up the core of a team that had been together for eight seasons.Rose and Noah will play in Chicago on Friday for the first time as visitors.Rose, a Chicago native, is in his hometown for the first time since he was traded. He spent the offseason in Los Angeles.Being back here, it felt good, to tell you the truth, he said Friday. Especially the Cubs winning, I felt the energy of the city. The city is on some type of high right now. Its great for the city, with everything that weve been going through, the killings, everything. We need some positive light shined here.Rose added that his biggest regret as a Bull was not winning a title for his hometown.Only thing I can do about that is say I gave it my all. I felt like I gave it my all. I really tried, Rose said. ... I had multiple times where I envisioned winning championships here, and it never happened. So I have to take those visions and take them to New York.Rose was drafted by the Bulls with the No. 1 overall pick out of Memphis in 2008 and was named Rookie of the Year that season. He was named NBA MVP after the 2010-11 campaign, the youngest player to win the award, and led the Bulls to the top of the Eastern Conference during that regular season.But he hurt his knee for the first time in the playoffs the following season and had played in just 39 percent of possible games due to various injuries following the original injury.I know Im going to get some boos here and there, Rose said Wednesday night. Its all a part of the game, all a part of the sport. Its not going to affect the way that I play.One of the newest members of the Bulls, Dwyane Waade, hopes for nothing but a positive reception in Roses return. Detroit Lions Jerseys. ??Wade has always spoken highly of Rose over the years, so it should come as no surprise that the future Hall of Famer believes Rose should be cheered on Friday night during his first game back at the United Center.Hes from the city of Chicago, Wade said after Fridays shootaround. Theres going to be a lot of fans that are going to cheer and root and support their very own. And then theres other fans that want to see the Knicks lose and want to see the Bulls win. But I think at the end of the day, he did nothing here but what he was supposed to. Derrick couldnt help the fact that he went down with injuries. Thats nothing that an athlete can control.Wade, like many within the Bulls organization, is hopeful that fans will give Rose a nice ovation during starting lineup introductions.He represented the Bulls in a positive light, Wade continued. From the standpoint of what he was able to do on the court. He gave everything he had and you cant do nothing but cheer that on. So I look forward to a warm ovation for him and for Noah. And then I look forward to getting into the game.?The Bulls missed the playoffs for the first time in Roses career in 2015-16.Noah played just 29 games that season due to a left shoulder ailment that required season-ending surgery in January. He signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Knicks in July.I look back on it, I was definitely frustrated, Noah said of the 2015-16 season. There was definitely a lot of adversity going on there. I can look back at it and see where things went wrong. Its not about blaming one person. Everybody in that locker room is good people. Its just s--- happens. Its a locker room. At the end of the day, the things I remember the most are good memories from everybody. I have no hard feelings towards anybody.Rose, Noah and the Knicks have lost three of their first four games, allowing at least 100 points in each contest.

As President Obama might say, my daughter is a badass. Ronnie Harrison Jersey . I dont say that just because shes my daughter. As the president did when he met the members of the U.S. womens national soccer team after they won the World Cup last year, I offer that description up in the broadest of terms.That same term applies to many of my daughters teammates through years of club soccer that have seen us travel around the South and across the country. Ive seen them get knocked down and bounce right back up. Ive seen them limp around the field, trying to shake off a twisted ankle to stay in the game. Ive seen them suffer difficult losses and play in pouring rain and frigid cold.Im glad my daughter, Lucy, is part of it. And Im glad I have been there to see it.I am a soccer dad, twice over. My son is in college now, but he also played travel soccer for years. I loved watching him play and seeing his confidence grow as he kept moving up to better teams through the years. But soccer wasnt as critical to my relationship with my son as it has been with my daughter.We have some differences, she and I. My daughter has a clear sense of fashion, while I shop the clearance rack at Kohls. She uses her phone for endless snaps and selfies, while I use mine to check sports scores and play Words with Friends. And there are certain areas where conversations between fathers and daughters are tricky at best. Soccer, though, has provided us with a shared experience since she first enjoyed orange slices and juice boxes at halftime and ran through tunnels created by the parents outstretched arms after games.I didnt play the game growing up, but Ive come to appreciate it and all that its meant to my kids. Unlike the sports I grew up with, there are no timeouts in soccer. Players have to make hundreds of decisions during a game -- without a coach telling them what to do -- about when and where to pass, when to attack and when to pull back and defend. To have any chance at success, they have to work with and rely on their teammates. Its a game that values speed, technical ability, teamwork, intelligence, stamina, athleticism and the willingness to be physical. (Lucy points with pride to the various bruises and scrapes on her legs, treasuring each one as a memento from various high school and club games.)But where the game has helped me connect with my daughter is off the field, on the drives to and from practice or the road trips to games and tournaments. Weve driven through a West Virginia snowstorm to get to an indoor soccer tournament in Detroit in February, flown to Seattle to play against some of the best teams in the country and spent the holidays in Orlando more times than I care to count. Ive rinsed out stinky jerseys and soccer socks in hotel sinks and made late-night runs to get Gatorade. Im always up for arranging some sort of side trip, having nothing to do with soccer, to check out something interesting in the area.All that travel translates into great family time -- time to play card games, talk about how schools going or watch HGTV together in the hotel room. Occasionally the talk is about soccer.One topic of frequent discussion is the U.S. womens national team. We rarely miss a chance to watch them play, even if its just a friendly on TV. The women on that team are rock stars to my daughter and her teammates, and I will never forget the thrill it was for Lucy when she got a photo with Megan Rapinoe, her favorite player, when the team played in North Carolina a couple of years ago. So while Im curious to see how Michael Phelps will do in the pool and whether anyone can beat Usain Bolt in the 100 meters, my daughter and I will be most interested in the U.S. womens soccer team as they go after their fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal in Rio later this summer.I wondered whether the dads of the women on the U.S. national team felt the same as I did about soccer helping their relationship with their daughters. I managed to touch base with Ken Krieger, father of defender Ali Krieger, and Vincent Dunn, father of midfielder and forward Crystal Dunn. Not surprisingly, they also had tales of weekends spent traveling to tournaments and car rides home after games or practices spent listening as their daughters recounted their experience.Both fathers were most interested in talking about who their daughters have become off the field. The thing Im most proud of has absolutely nothing to do with soccer, said Vincent Dunn, a finance attorney in New York. Crystal is just a genuinely good person. She cares about other people and is a fun person.Krieger, a former player who has built a long and successful career as a youth soccer and basketball coach in and around Washington, D.C., recounted an experience years ago when his daughter got a chance to see Mia Hamm play. What she remembered from that day was watching Hamm sign autographs for what seemed like hours afterward. She told her father that she would do the same thing one day if she ever got the chance. Im usually in the bleachers for an hour after her games, Ken Krieger told me, waiting for her to finish signing autographs.My wife and I often talked as our kids moved up (and occasionally down) the ranks of club soccer about how we werent interested in raising soccer players. We wanted to raise kids who would go on to become good adults. Soccer has been one way to do that, imparting lessons in the value of determination, hard work and sportsmanship.Theyve learned how to handle defeat as well as victory. Theyve learned that the calls dont always go your way and that theres nothing to be gained by complaining about it. Theyve learned that while sometimes you have to figure things out for yourself, there are other times when you can rely on your teammates or, more importantly, be there for your teammates. Those are lessons that will serve them well long after their playing days are over.I will also treasure the bonds soccer has helped me build with Lucy. There are plenty of things she would rather talk with her mother about, and Im OK with that. But we have our own connection, and I will never complain about the money and time our family has spent on soccer.Bill Krueger is an editor at the alumni magazine at N.C. State University, where U.S. head coach Jill Ellis started her coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Wolfpack womens soccer team. Logan Cooke Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. A.J. Bouye Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. http://www.thejaguarsfansshop.com/Jaguars-Will-Richardson-Draft-Jersey/ . -- Charline Labonte couldnt have asked for a better homecoming. Surrey 212 for 4 (Roy 120, Finch 79) beat Kent 175 for 7 (Northeast 59) by 37 runsScorecardTo be at The Oval on Friday night, with a sell-out of close to 25,000 enraptured by the brilliant brutality of Jason Roy, it seemed incongruous to consider that Englands domestic T20 is a tournament deemed to be in need of a rapid overhaul.No county does T20 better than Surrey. This typically boisterous crowd took Surreys total attendance for their seven home T20s to over 140,000, and the revenue these games have raised to over ￡4 million: both figures are records. On this night the crowds only gripe was the rain at Chelmsford, which eliminated Surrey, but, as they belted out renditions of Will Griggs on Fire in between the Icelandic football clap, no one seemed remotely perturbed.Whatever the future of English domestic T20, it will be all the better if it involves plenty more innings like this from Roy. While the Rhythm of the Night blared out, Roys thunderous hitting was again the rhythm of the night at The Oval.In this mood, Roy has the swagger of a villain in a Western, brazenly bestriding his turf, ready to shoot down anyone with the effrontery to challenge him. Or so it seemed as he greeted James Tredwells offspin with a huge straight six then, as if insulted by how easy it had all been, promptly launched the bowler over wide long-on, the longest boundary.When Roy thrashed a full toss down the ground to bring up his fourth T20 century, off 51 balls, he removed his helmet, giving off the air of a gladiator appreciating the crowds acclaim.For all its destruction, this was an innings defined by far more than raw power. There was impudent improvisation too - reverse-scooping Darren Stevens over short third man for four, or waltzing across his stumps to lift the ball over the keeper. There was also ample evidence of Roys maturity as a battsman, the brain to go with his brawn. Malik Jackson Jersey. He scored off all but nine of the 62 deliveries he faced, a dot-ball percentage of just 14.5%. To put that into context, 40% of deliveries in the World T20 were dots.With Roy in this mood Aaron Finch, the worlds second-ranked T20I batsman, was relegated to the status of B-list support act; on most nights the violence underpinning Finchs 79 would have been befitting something rather more. If the two did not quite break the records they threatened to - they fell five runs short of the English record partnership for any wicket and 14 short of the all-time record opening stand in T20 cricket - their 187 did break Kent.When Gareth Batty fired a delivery down the leg side after seeing Sam Billings giving him the charge, and Roy claimed Stevens, diving at full length after running in from the extra cover boundary, soon after, Surreys cruise to victory was assured.Yet it had all come too late to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. For the second consecutive season Surreys financial clout had failed to yield progress beyond the group stages.Weve put on an absolute spectacle tonight and showed what were capable of, a downcast Roy said. Thats the most disappointing thing - there were some crucial game we should have won, but we didnt show that grit and determination.At a time when the teams who take part in Englands elite T20 competition face being determined by ground size rather than on-field performance, some would see Surreys failure as a reminder of the need to keep the principle of meritocracy at the heart of the domestic English game.The debate will rumble on, long after the last remnants of spilled beer have been cleaned from The Ovals stands.
