SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Taylor Rapp returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown and Myles Gaskin ran for 159 yards to help No. 4 Washington strengthen its case for a playoff berth with a 41-10 victory over No. 9 Colorado in the Pac-12 championship game Friday night.The Huskies (12-1, No. 4 CFP) broke open a close game when Rapp intercepted Sefo Liufaus passes on the first two drives of the second half for a touchdown and to set up a field goal that made it 24-7.Washington rolled from there to its first conference title since 2000 with a performance likely to keep the Huskies in the top four when the College Football Playoff bids are handed out Sunday.It was a rough day for Colorado (10-3, No. 8 CFP) and Liufau, who was knocked out of the game after injuring his right leg on a sack on the Buffaloes first drive of the game. He returned to start the second half and threw three interceptions, including one on the first play from scrimmage that Rapp returned 35 yards for a score.Liufau threw another interception on the ensuing drive and Colorado could never recover. Even a circus kick return in the third quarter couldnt help the Buffaloes. Anthony Julmisse returned a kick to near midfield and fumbled. Phillip Lindsay scooped up and ran down to the 2 but Colorado was held to a field goal.THE TAKEAWAYColorado: From the opening kickoff that went out of bounds, little went right for the Buffaloes, who were unable to cap an impressive turnaround season with a conference title. Liufaus injury didnt help the cause. Steven Montez went 5 for 12 for 60 yards in the first half and was unable to generate any consistent offense and Liufau was even worse when he returned. He threw as many interceptions in the third quarter (3) as he had all season and was just 2 for 12 for 12 yards after coming back into the game.Washington: The usually efficient Jake Browning struggled throwing the ball but it didnt matter as the Huskies dominated the game with 265 yards on the ground behind Gaskin and Lavon Coleman (101 yards). Browning went just 9 for 24 for 118 yards but did throw two TDs. His second touchdown was far from his prettiest throw of the season. With a defender draped all over him, Browning threw a ball up from grabs that John Ross caught in front of Chidobe Awuzie and ran in 19 yards for the score. Brownings 42 TDs are one shy of Jared Goffs Pac-12 record.UP NEXTColorado: The Buffaloes must wait to see if they will remain ahead of No. 11 USC in the playoff rankings and get a Rose Bowl bid if Washington goes to the playoff or likely head to the Alamo Bowl if they drop behind the Trojans.Washington: A likely berth in the playoff.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Custom Ray Allen Jersey .

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. An update on the status of the 43 abandoned Thoroughbreds in Mercer County was provided by Rusty Ford, spokesperson for the Kentucky state veterinary department, at The Jockey Clubs Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit at Keeneland. Ford was asked to address the some 200- people in attendance due to the high-profile nature of the situation.Ford said that the state Tuesday morning has received permission to move six of the horses to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation facility in the state. Those six were deemed to be the priorities because they were either starving or severely underweight. The rest of the horses will remain at the current location and will be cared for daily as officials try to determine ownership of the horses and if there will be any criminal charges filed.Ford said that a group of veterinarians visited the farm yesterday and they categorized the horses as follows: Three were severely underweight; 10 were underweight; 14 were of suitable weight; eight were overweight; and eight were of proper weight.The Mercer County sheriff is evaluating the situation with attorneys to see if criminal charges will be filed against Chuck Borell and/or his daughter Maria Borell. The horses had met the criteria of the state veterinarians as being abandoned in early June. The horses had been in the care of or owned by Chuck Borell and Maria Borell at the leased farm in Mercer County, some 30 miles southwest of Lexingtton.ddddddddddddThe horses for the last three weeks have received elevated care daily, Ford said. They have received care since early June, when this situation was brought to our attention.When told that recent reports suggested that the state agricultural department was just now looking into this, Ford said that was not the case.Theres a lot of misinformation out there, he said. This first came to our attention on June 3, and the horses have been getting care. The volunteers who have helped these horses are the ones who deserve a lot of credit. The condition of the horses today is much improved.Ford said that only three of the horses would be considered seriously underweight, but none of the horses are in a life-threatening situation. He said one horse has a serious hoof abscess.The question facing authorities now is the ownership of the horses. Ford said that a number of people have come forward saying that they are the owners of the horses and want to take care of them.Some of the horses are reportedly owned by Maria Borell, who trained Runhappy to win the Breeders Cup sprint for owner Jim McIngvale but was fired the day after in a dispute. Borell has trained horses on the Kentucky circuit.Chuck Borell is reported as the person who leased the farm in Mercer County, with the horses under his care. ' ' '
