Young finished the game at left tackle as the replacement for Tun

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Saturday morning, Missouri coach Barry Odom woke up to a text message informing him of something he did not know; since 1957, only one Missouri coach-Bob Stull in 1989-won in their home debut.Make that two.Drew Lock tied a school-record with five touchdown passes as Missouri ran away with its home opener, defeating Eastern Michigan 61-21 Saturday.Odom, who was a linebacker for Missouri from 1996-99, discussed the surreal nature of earning his first home win as coach of his alma mater.It got to me a little bit tonight. Id be lying if I said it didnt...I feel the responsibility to do it right, because there are so many people that have worked so hard to put this program where it is.Lock completed 24 of 37 pass attempts for 450 yards, only 30 yards shy of the school record.He did some really good things tonight, Odom said of Lock. He is doing a great job of running our offense, and things are slowing down tremendously for him. I think he will continue to grow by learning from his mistakes, while learning from the good things he does as well.The Tigers (1-1) amassed 647 yards of total offense, the most since Sept. 17, 2011. Running backs Demarea Crockett and Ish Witter combined for 25 rushes, 129 yards and two touchdowns.Ray Wingo led Missouri in receiving yards with 125 on just three catches, one of which was a 52-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. Johnathon Johnson caught five passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Emmanuel Hall had three catches for 90 yards.Their passing attack proved to be too strong, said Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton, who is now 4-22 in three seasons with the school. The long balls, and even just the quick game, would eat up yards. They did a really good job of that.We just got run by on some of those long balls, and some well-placed balls, and some speed and size at receiver that we just werent able to combat.On the final play of the first quarter, Johnson bobbled a high-arcing punt near midfield, but recovered and took it 54 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 210 all-purpose yards.It was scramble mode, Johnson said of the circus play. I had to pick it back up. I knew I had muffed it, so I was just trying to get it back up, and I just cut it across the field.Odom said hes seen this type of playmaking ability from Johnson before.The things he did on the field tonight, he does in practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Its important to him that he is a total package player, having the ability to not only play out wide, but to return punts and block. He is only going to get better.Eastern Michigan quarterback Todd Porter was 23 of 45 for 287 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed 13 times for 46 yards and one touchdown.The Eagles (1-1) struggled offensively, especially in the first half. Their first seven drives consisted of five punts, an interception and a 1-yard touchdown run. They converted 11 of 21 third down attempts and were 0 for 1 on fourth down.Missouri cornerback Aarion Penton broke up three passes, made two tackles and had an interception, but left the game with a sprained shoulder and did not return.Eastern Michigan cornerback Juan Giraldo was ejected early in the fourth quarter for a targeting hit on Missouri receiver Keyon Dilosa.TAKEAWAYSMissouri: In a 26-11 loss at West Virginia last week, Missouris offense ran 100 plays, more than any team in the nation. That tempo slowed somewhat Saturday, as the Tigers ran 78 plays. However, they nearly doubled their average yards per play, from 4.6 against West Virginia to 8.3 against the Eagles, and scored the most points since a 62-10 win against Southeast Louisiana Sept. 1, 2012.Eastern Michigan: Starting running back Shaq Vann was limited to just one carry for 10 yards. Vann injured his shoulder early in the first quarter and did not return. Ian Eriksen became the Eagles primary ball carrier with Vann on the sidelines, rushing 23 times for 90 yards and a touchdown.UP NEXTMissouri: The Tigers host Georgia (2-0) next Saturday night.

Fake NHL Jerseys 2020 . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. Cheap NHL Jerseys From China . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. DAVIE, Fla. -- Ryan Tannehill is winning like never before, which doesnt surprise his coach.Even before Adam Gase was hired last January by the Miami Dolphins, he envisioned success for Tannehill.Thats why I took the job, Gase said Monday. When you feel comfortable with the quarterback youre coming in with, thats always a good starting point.Gase, Tannehill and the Dolphins (6-4) have won five games in a row, with the latest victory the most improbable yet. Miami scored two touchdowns in the final 4:02 Sunday to rally past the Los Angeles Rams 14-10 and complete an Interstate-5 sweep.A week earlier, the Dolphins won at San Diego, 31-24. They hope to beat up on California some more when they play at home Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers (1-9).A victory would give the Dolphins their longest winning streak in 11 years. Thats heady stuff for a team that hasnt been to the playoffs since 2008, and also for Tannehill, a fifth-year pro who has yet to finish a season above .500.He looks like a winner lately. On Sunday, Miami trailed 10-0 with 6:40 left before Tannehill directed scoring drives of 77 and 75 yards while completing 12 of 13 passes, including two for touchdowns.I told the guys right before going on that first touchdown drive, `Hey, everyone take a deep breath, were going to win this game, Tannehill said. And thats what we did.The performance was especially noteworthy given Tannehills reputation for struggling at crunch time. But then he also was knocked earlier in his career for inaccuracy on long throws, and thats no longer an issue, as Gase playfully reminded reporters.He hasnt done anything to show me that he cant do things in the fourth quarter, Gase said. When we get in the fourth quarter and its a close game, I feel confident. Between him being able to play in the fourth quarter and the deep balls, Im kind of questioning you guys evaluation skills right now.ddddddddddddIm just glad youre not in personnel.Gase was hired because of his success with quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Jay Cutler and Tim Tebow, and now he has bonded with Tannehill. The coachs faith in his quarterback is such that Gase took an aggressive approach with his play-calling on the Dolphins final drive, when they trailed 10-7.That game wasnt going to overtime, he said. It was either going to be a pick or a touchdown.Tannehill orchestrated the comeback working behind a patchwork line. Left tackle Branden Albert (left wrist) and center Mike Pouncey (hip) were inactive, and rookie Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) departed before halftime. Sam Young finished the game at left tackle as the replacement for Tunsil, who replaced Albert.Albert said he might be able to play this week. Gase said hes not yet sure yet who is likely to be available this week.The Dolphins were also without three inactive defenders against the Rams -- linebacker Jelani Jenkins (knee), defensive end Mario Williams (ankle) and cornerback Xavien Howard (knee).Despite the injuries, Miami is in second place in the AFC East and one game behind the Chiefs and Broncos for the conferences final wild-card spot. The schedules favorable, with only one remaining opponent above .500 -- the Patriots, who visit Miami in the regular-season finale.When asked about the playoff picture, Gase predictably shook his head.Were so far away still, he said. Its not even worth it to me to look at it. We just have to focus on this week. If we just keep doing it right enough times, then good things will happen. Well just keep playing until somebody tells us not to.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL. ' ' '
