Wilkommen bei den Schatten » rout was on as Taurasi and Brittney

NEW ORLEANS -- Allenzae Staggers set New Orleans Bowl records with 11 catches for 230 yards and also scored a touchdown to help Southern Mississippi beat Louisiana-Lafayette 28-21 on Saturday night.Nick Mullens, the Southern Miss all-time leader in yards passing and passing touchdowns, finished his distinguished career by throwing for 346 yards and two TDs.One of Mullens TD tosses was a 6-yarder to running back Ito Smith, who also rushed for 138 yards and two scores.However, Mullens turnovers helped the Ragin Cajuns keep the game competitive despite the Golden Eagles (7-6) outgaining ULL (6-7) 481 yards to 252.Mullens second-quarter fumble and fourth-quarter interception both led to Cajuns touchdowns, the latter on a short run by ULL quarterback Anthony Jennings that trimmed Southern Miss lead to 28-21 with 5:10 to go.ULL got the ball back once more, starting on its own 18-yard line with 2:02 to go, but Jennings overthrew a fourth-down pass as he rolled right.Jennings scored twice on runs for the Ragin Cajuns, who often struggled to move the ball through the air. A transfer who once started for LSU, Jennings completed 8 of 20 passes for 95 yards. He was intercepted once -- by Tarvarius Moore on the Southern Miss goal line -- and sacked six times, including three times by JaBoore Pool.REGROUPINGThe Cajuns composure was tested early. Mullens completed his first three passes for 127 yards and a touchdown to Smith, who also rushed for the games opening TD as the Golden Eagles took a 14-0 lead inside the first 8 minutes.But ULL methodically pulled itself back into the game, starting when Jennings led a nine-play, 66-yard drive capped by his 4-yard TD to make it 14-7. In the second quarter, Tremaine Lightfoots sack and strip of Mullens was scooped and returned 15 yards by Otha Peters to the Southern Miss 29, setting up a tying 12-yard TD run by reserve QB Dion Ray, who periodically ran plays out of a wildcat formation.TAKING THEIR TIMEAs the first half ended, Mullens rushed the Southern Miss offense to the line of scrimmage to try to spike the ball and stop the clock so the Golden Eagles could try a 45-yard field goal. The clock read zero after his spike, but officials ordered 1 second put back on the clock. Louisiana-Lafayette then used both of its remaining timeouts in an effort to disrupt kicker Parker Shaunfields rhythm. After the second timeout, officials decided to review the previous play and ruled that time had expired after all, ending the half in a 14-all tie.UP NEXTSouthern Miss: The first order of business is to find a replacement for Mullens, who leaves the Golden Eagles as the programs career leader in yards passing (11,994) and TD passes (87). Complicating that transition at QB is the departure of three-year starting center Cameron Tom and starting guards Oliver Bates and Brandon Farmer.Louisiana-Lafayette: The Cajuns are expected to apply to the NCAA for another year of eligibility for Jennings, but prospects for approval appear slim. The next QB could come from the junior college ranks. The offense also loses Elijah McGuire, who ranks second all-time in rushing for ULL, and top receiver Al Riles.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Orlando Cepeda Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.

Its a point guards dream.From top to bottom this version of the American Olympic womens basketball team is stacked with offensive weapons. And at the early pace they are scoring at the Rio Games, they might break the 1996 teams record average of 102.4 points a game.Diana Taurasi scored 13 points and Sylvia Fowles added 12 on Monday as the U.S. posted its second blowout in as many days, beating Spain 103-63 on Monday. Thats two consecutive contests the U.S. scored at least 100 points -- the last time the Americans did that was in 2004.A lot of Olympic teams that Ive been on have had offensive power, but now we go all the way down the line to the 12th player, said Bird, who had nine points and five assists in the win. And the minute you stop theres no let-off. That person comes in and can do just as much offensively as the next. And also, we have our foot on the gas pedal.Were trying to get better in every single game and you cant, you cant relax. I know the score is, it is what it is. But we dont relax regardless.This team is so good offensively that reigning WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne comes off the bench and Tamika Catchings is the 12th player.Weapons. Were full of weapons. One through 12, everybody that comes in contributes to some capacity, Catchings said. And thats offensively, defensively as well. Youre talking about 100 points -- youve got to be able to score. Its fun. Its fun to watch. Its fun to be a part of. When we move the ball and everybody is just kind of like -- everybodys doing their part -- screening, rolling, cutting to the basket -- you never know where the shot is going to come from. As a team, were so selfless.The Americans (2-0) had a team-record 36 assists in the opening win. They followed that up with 23 against Spain.The victory was the 43rd consecutive for the U.S. in the Olympics. The contest was a rematch of the 2014 world championship gold medal game that the Americans won by 13. While this win didnt come in the same record fashion the U.S. opened the Olympics with when it beat Senegal by 65 points, the Americans coasted after the first few minutees.ddddddddddddSpain (1-1) led 8-6 before the U.S. closed the quarter on a 23-6 burst. Delle Donne was in the middle of it. She had seven points, including a 3-pointer from the wing that made it 27-11 during the game-changing spurt. The Spaniards couldnt get within single digits the rest of the way.Everyone we bring in off the bench can score and make a play, U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. Its fun to watch. For as little time as we had together, we do a lot of really nice things out there which is nice to see.Spain fought just to stay within 20 in the second quarter, thanks in part to the play of guard Leticia Romero, who stars at Florida State. The Olympic newcomer got her first playing time of the tournament and scored five straight points as Spain trailed 54-37 at the half. She finished with nine points.It was going to be a tough game, Romero said. They have to have a really, really bad game for us to have a chance to win it. Anything that we can get from today is positive.Bird ensured there would be some tough lessons Spain could take away.Playing in her fourth Olympics, Bird started the second half with a steal and then raced down the court for the layup. A few minutes later the lead was over 20 and the rout was on as Taurasi and Brittney Griner waved their arms to get a USA chant started. In Sundays win over Senegal, the crowd was behind the underdogs shouting down any American cheers. This time they wouldnt be drowned out.Alba Torrens, who the Connecticut Sun have the rights to in the WNBA, led Spain with 20 points.Spain missed the 2012 Olympics, but won the silver at the worlds. The Spaniards have never beaten the U.S. in a major competition, falling to 0-10 at the Olympics and world championships. They haveThe U.S. next plays Serbia on Wednesday while Spain faces China.In other games on Monday, Canada improved to 2-0 for the first time in Olympic history, rallying from 18 points down to beat Serbia 71-67.
