BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU backup quarterback Danny Etling made his debut with the 21st-ranked Tigers count.Replacing struggling starter Brandon Harris on LSUs third possession, Etling opened with three straight scoring drives, and the Tigers pulled away for a 34-13 victory over Jacksonville State on Saturday night.Etling, a transfer from Purdue, completed six of his first eight passes for 100 yards, including a 46-yard scoring strike to tight end DeSean Smith to cap the quarterbacks first drive. Etling also had a 2 yard TD run.His performance could make him LSUs starter when the Tigers (1-1) open their Southeastern Conference slate at home against Mississippi State next Saturday. LSU coach Les Miles might not have much choice, considering how anemic LSUs offense looks with Harris under center, not just against JSU, but also in a 16-14 upset against fifth-ranked Wisconsin a week earlier.LSU opened the game with 12 total yards and no first downs on its first two offensive series before Miles made the QB change.The Tiger Stadium crowd came alive with Etling took the field for the first time. It was a full-on eruption when Etlings long scoring pass hit Smith in stride down the left sideline, giving LSU a 6-3 lead.Etlings performance was not entirely unblemished. All six of his second-half passes were incomplete. He was intercepted by Reggie Hall on a long pass intended for Malachi Dupre in the end zone and later lost a fumble when he was sacked and stripped by Darius Jackson.Leonard Fournette did not play, getting the night off to rest his left ankle, which took a hard hit at the end of LSUs season opener. Miles has said Fournette is not seriously injured.Derrius Guice started for Fournette and rushed for 155 yards rushing, including a 4-yard TD and a 44-yard run to set up another LSU score.A 2-yard touchdown run by BryKiethon Mouton capped Etlings third series. Tre-Davious the closed LSUs 27-point second quarter with a 60-yard punt return on which he retreated 20 yards to his own 20 before finding his way back up field for the score.Dual threat QB Eli Jenkins was once again productive for Jacksonville State (1-1), which entered the game ranked fifth nationally among teams in the NCAAs second-tier Football Championship. He passed for 248 yards, including a 76-yard scoring pass to Krenwick Sanders, and rushed for 82 yards. JSU fields several transfers from top-tier Football Bowl Subdivision programs, including former LSU receiver Kevin Spears, who caught two passes for 51 yards.THE TAKEAWAYJacksonville State: Jenkins has the ability to put up big numbers on any defense, meaning his FCS-level opponents will have their hands full. Jenkins is easily on pace to eclipse the 10,000-yard mark in career total yards by the end of this season. He entered the game already holding the JSU record for total yards with 8,688.LSU: Barring an injury to Etling, Harris next snaps might come in mop-up duty. His numbers through his first two starts this season are 13 of 25 (52 percent) for 139 yards, one TD and two interceptions. He completed one of four passes for 8 yards against JSU.UP NEXTJacksonville State: The Gamecocks return home play Coastal Carolina -- an opponent in transition to the top tier FBS -- on Sept. 17.LSU: The Tigers open SEC play at home against Mississippi State on Sept. 17.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Dustin Pedroia Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J.

ROME -- As far as city leaders are concerned, Romes bid for the 2024 Olympics is finished.The city council voted in favor of scrapping the bid on Thursday, a week after Mayor Virginia Raggi rejected the candidacy, citing concerns over costs.It was irresponsible to say yes to the candidacy, Raggi wrote on Facebook. We wanted to say no to more debts for Rome and for Italy.The anti-bid motion passed easily, as expected, by 30-12 since Raggis anti-establishment 5-Star Movement holds a majority on the city council.The 5-Star Movement holds 29 of the 48 council places, and all 29 voted in support of the mayors rejection. There was also one supporting vote from an opposition party. Six council members were absent.The rejection leaves only Los Angeles, Paris, and Budapest, in the running for the 2024 Games. The International Olympic Committee will decide on the host city in September 2017.However, Rome bid leaders and the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) are hanging on to hope that the bid can somehow be revived, perhaps if Raggi is ousted from office.IOC President Thomas Bach will be in Rome next Tuesday for a sports and faith conference at the Vatican.Well decide what to do after meeting Bach on Tuesday, CONI president Giovanni Malago said.The IOC told Italian media that it was following the events in Rome and was in contact with the bid committee and CONI to make sense of these political circumstances.Its the second time in four years that a Rome Olympic bid has been rejected. In 2012, then-premier Mario Monti scrapped the citys bid for the 2020 Olympics because of financial concerns.Under previous mayor Ignazio Marino, Romes 2024 bid was approved by the city assembly last year with 38 votes in favor and only six against. Italian Premier Matteo Renzi was a strong supporter of the bid.ddddddddddddToday came the definitive `No on the Olympics, Renzi said. Its legitimate but weve certainly made a bad impression internationally.But whats shocking isnt the decision but rather its saying that you cant have the Olympics because its bad business. Thousands of jobs will be lost for giving up.Raggi, a lawyer who was elected in June as Romes first female mayor, cited worries over costs and budget overruns as reasons for rejecting the bid in a city that can barely collect its trash, and keep up other basic public services.At the same session, another motion was passed by the city council asking the government to provide 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) for refurbishing sports venues in the city and for general urban improvements.Were continuing to work for the city, Raggi wrote.The latest rejection is another signal that the IOC still has a lot of work to do to convince cities that hosting the games is a boon and not a burden. Earlier Thursday, a city government panel in Tokyo warned that the cost of the 2020 Olympics could exceed $30 billion, more than four times the initial estimates.Voters in Hamburg rejected the German citys 2024 bid in a referendum, and Boston dropped out last year amid a lack of public and political support and was replaced as the U.S. candidate by Los Angeles.Four cities withdrew during the bidding for the 2022 Winter Games, leaving only two candidates in the field. Beijing, hardly known as a winter sports destination, defeated Almaty, Kazakhstan.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
