Overall, of course you don’t want your season to come to an end. But the girls did well.” Assumption (35-6) simply at- tacked better than McCracken County did. The Lady Rockets ended by connecting on 33.7 per- cent of their attacks, while the Lady Mustangs were good on 10.7 percent of their attacks.

HORNE [email protected] MURRAY — The idea was to try to control the tempo and slow down No. 2 Eastern Illinois. And it worked for a while, but the Panthers eventually did to Murray State what they’ve done to most OVC teams this seasea- son: dominated in winning 37-17 Saturday at Stewart Stadium. The Racers (5-5, 3-3 OVC) kept things close in the rst quarter and showed some signs of life in the second half by scoring 17 straight points, but they came af- ter EIU had already built a 30-0 lead. They didn’t help themselves out in the rst half by turning the ball over twice on downs and by missing a 32-yard eld goal right before halftime. EIU (9-1, 6-0 OVC) took con- trol when it turned Murray State’s second failed fourth-down try that stalled at the Panthers’ 5 into a touchdown at the end of a 13-play, 95-yard drive. Erik Lora’s 13-yard scoring reception with 1:11 left in the second gave them a three-touchdown lead. “I thought we had a good game plan going in to shorten the game,” Murray State coach Chris Hatcher said. ”We had a couple of opportunities there in the rst half, but we missed a fourth-and- one, and fourth-and-goal to cut it to 14-7 and then all of a sud- den they go down and make it 21-0. That was a big swing in the game.” Murray State held EIU to just one touchdown in the rst quar- ter, but the Panthers got their en- gines going with two touchdowns in the second, scoring nine points in the third and adding a nal touchdown in the fourth. Murray State even held EIU quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, FCS’ leader in passing yards and touchdowns, to under 200 yards passing in the rst half and stopped his streak of throwing for more than 300 yards at nine games. He threw for 299 yards. “The big thing was we faced a lot of adversity in the rst half, and we fought really hard in the second half,” Hatcher said. “We were playing the second-ranked team in the country and were down 21-0, and then in the sec- ond half we outscored them 17- 16. It wasn’t enough, but for our team to do that, I’m very proud of them for that.” The Racers’ 17-point explosion started when Parks Frazier, in the rst start of his career, found Pokey Harris on an 8-yard pass with 3:07 left in the third quar- ter, capping off a six-play, 80- yard drive. Murray’s State’s Brandon Wicks forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. The Racers took over at the EIU 30 with 3:03 left in the third. But the drive ended with Mayeld’s Marc Wynstra knocking through a 31-yard eld goal with 1:52 to go in the period. Wynstra also made both extra points.

Things just didn’t go the way McCracken County wanted in the KHSAA State Volleyball Tourna-ment.

The Lady Mustangs had high hopes, but fell to Assumption in three sets 25-20, 25-13 and 25-13 in a quarterfi nal match Saturday at Valley High in Louisville.

The fi rst-year program won the Second District and First Region championships and its fi rst-round game at state Friday over Whitley County. But the loss to Assump-tion ends McCracken County’s season at 33-9 overall.

“The kids were disappointed, but we knew that was going to be a big hill for us to climb,” McCrack-en County coach Tim Whitits said. “We got to the fi rst set and it was back and forth. Overall, of course you don’t want your season to come to an end. But the girls did well.”

Assumption (35-6) simply at-tacked better than McCracken County did. The Lady Rockets

ended by connecting on 33.7 per-cent of their attacks, while the Lady Mustangs were good on 10.7 percent of their attacks.

Assumption was better in serves with nine aces to McCrack-en County’s two.

McCracken County did have the advantage in digs, winning that 42-41.

Jasmine Bennett led the way for McCracken County with 14 kills, Haylee Rhinehart chipped in six, Courtney Brantley added three, Alyssa McKinney had two and Kaci Oetjen had one.

“They were just bigger than us,” Whitis said. “We have one kid that’s 6-foot and they have four, and that ended up making an overall difference. The were able to control the inside. But our girls played their hearts out and I was tickled to death with the way they played.”

MURRAY — The idea was to try to control the tempo and slow down No. 2 Eastern Illinois.

And it worked for a while, but the Panthers eventually did to Murray State what they’ve done to most OVC teams this seasea-son: dominated in winning 37-17 Saturday at Stewart Stadium.

The Racers (5-5, 3-3 OVC) kept things close in the fi rst quarter and showed some signs of life in the second half by scoring 17 straight points, but they came af-ter EIU had already built a 30-0 lead. They didn’t help themselves out in the fi rst half by turning the ball over twice on downs and by missing a 32-yard fi eld goal right before halftime.

with 1:11 left in the second gave them a three-touchdown lead.

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Once recruited to play at West Point, Antonio An-drews gave 36,276 fans at Michie Stadium a bitter memory in the fi nal seconds of Army’s last home game.

The nation’s leading rusher ran for 117 yards and the game-winning touch-down with 32 seconds left as Western Kentucky went 87 yards in 3:49 and came back to beat Army 21-17 Saturday in the teams’ fi rst meeting.

“We just got down the fi eld quick and got a scor-ing opportunity,” Andrews said. “It just all happened fast, so it’s all exciting.”

Quarterback Brandon Doughty was 16 for 24 for 199 yards, two touchdowns

and an interception for the Hilltoppers (6-4, 2-3 Sun Belt), who clinched bowl eli-gibility for the third straight season.

“It’s a great way to win a game,” Hilltoppers coach Bobby Petrino said. “I’m ex-cited about the way we won the game.”

Held scoreless in the fi rst half, Western Kentucky went up on Doughty’s sec-ond touchdown pass to Willie McNeal (101 yards receiving), which made it 14-10 early in the fourth.

“Once we started run-ning the ball with power, it opened up our passing game,” Petrino said.

Army responded to take a 17-14 lead on Terry Baggett’s 20-yard rush with 7:03 to go, but couldn’t stop

Andrews as the Hilltop-pers marched against the clock in the fi nal minutes. Andrews ran in virtually unscathed for the go-ahead score.

Baggett had 102 yards for the Black Knights (3-7), who saw the possibility of a bowl game slip away on se-nior day. Tony Giovannelli added 82 rushing yards in the loss.

The Hilltoppers, held to a season-low 334 yards of total offense, played in New York for the fi rst time in their 94-year history. West-ern Kentucky had faced another triple-option acad-emy, Navy, in a 19-7 win earlier this season, giving up just 107 yards.

Army, the nation’s top rushing team, had more

success, going for 277 yards.Army was poised to get on

the board fi rst after Giovan-nelli’s 68-yard scurry up the left sideline set the Black Knights up with fi rst-and-goal.

But Jonathan Dowling forced quarterback An-gel Santiago to fumble his

keeper at the 2 two plays later, and Tyree Robinson recovered to dash Army’s drive.

Western Kentucky saw its own scoring opportu-nity wasted early in the second when a TD pass to McNeal was called back on a penalty. On the next play,

third-and-11 from the Army 19, Thomas Holloway inter-cepted Doughty’s pass in the end zone.

The Hilltoppers scored fi rst with 5:35 to go in the third when Doughty found McNeal on a slant for an 11-yard touchdown, cutting it to 10-7. — AP

PRINCETON — Quar-terback Elijah Sindelar and wide receiver Eli Pep-per were quite the pair for Caldwell County in a 55-6 romp over Hancock Coun-ty in the opening round of the 2A football playoffs Friday night. The Tigers will host Union County, a 42-7 winner over Ballard Memorial, next Friday.

Sindelar completed nine of the 13 passes he threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns. Pep-per caught three of those scores as part of a four-catch, 142-yard perfor-mance. Josh Young caught the other touchdown pass from Sindelar, who also scored on a 28-yard run.

Alan Getz was the top Caldwell rusher with fi ve carries for 43 yards and a score. Michael Vaeth was the top Hornet rusher with 34 yards on 11 carries and

the team’s only touchdown midway through the third.Hancock County 0 0 6 0 —  6Caldwell County 35 14 6 0 —  55

Murray State’s Jaamal Berry (1) escapes the grasp of Eastern Illinois’ Kamu Grugier-Hill while running the ball on Saturday afternoon at Stewart Stadium in Murray.

Hilltoppers edge Army with comeback performance

Then in the fourth quar-ter after Wicks forced his second fumble, the Racers took over on their own 45. It took them just 10 plays to go the 55 yards. Fra-zier hit Nevar Griffi n from 14-yards out to cut it to 30-17.

The Panthers scored on the next possession when Shepard Little rumbled for

61 yards and the game’s fi nal score on with 7:51 to play.

“We just executed,” Fra-zier said of the 17 straight points. “We picked up the tempo more because we were behind. We were still running our base plays, we just didn’t do a good job of executing them in the fi rst half. In the second half, we got it into the end zone. We didn’t change

anything we were doing, we just executed.”

state title. Karas broke her own record of 17:44, while Grant bested her 19:14 time from last season.

“I’m happy I broke my re-cord on that course,” Grant said. “I’m happy I ran a little bit better and had a better time this year on the course.”

Paducah Tilghman coach Heather Hamilton said, “With the time that Aleja ran — and has run — it’s just unfortunate that there’s an-other girl who runs an un-believable time and times we’ve never seen before. She (Karas) broke her own course record and the over-all state record so it’s unfor-tunate Aleja and her are in the same class at the same time.”

Hamilton was also ex-

tremely pleased at how well Tilghman’s boys team ran in fi nishing 25th in the Class 2A meet.

“I’m very proud of my boys team,” she said. “This is my fourth year at Tilgh-man and I’ve never taken a boys team to state. So it was my fi rst experience coach-ing boys at the state level, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. They all ran close to their PR (personal record) at the meet and they all PR’d last week at the re-gional meet. So what more can you ask for? It was a great experience for them.”

Class 1A: On the boys side, Murray’s Adam Lankin had the highest in-dividual fi nish, taking 23rd in 17:52.

The St. Mary Vikings came in eighth in the team standings, while Murray

was 17th.In the girls race, Murray’s

Kenzley Sparks placed 25th in 21:15.

Teamwise, the Lady Ti-gers took eighth.

Class 2A: Calloway’s boys team had the area’s top 2A fi nish, 16th place.

Calloway County’s Josh Betts had the top boys’ fi n-ish, 43rd place in 18:03.

Grant was the top girls fi nisher in second, but Cal-loway County’s Kelly Nor-ton got in the top 15 by fi n-ishing 12th in 20:19.

Norton’s run helped Cal-loway County take eighth and Trigg County took 26th.

Class 3A: McCracken County’s Josh Grogan, run-ning as an individual, came in before any area boys run-ner, fi nishing 36th in 17:07.

Graves County came in 23rd in the team standings.

In the girls race, Graves County’s Erica Holt took 52nd in 20:42.

MURRAYSTATE KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Brad Ke-selowski rolled into Phoenix In-ternational Raceway a year ago locked into a tight champion-ship battle with Jimmie John-son, and left the track poised to claim his fi rst Sprint Cup title.

Back at the track where his fortunes turned, Keselowski is a mere spectator to this year’s title fi ght.

“I’m relaxed, but not in a good way,” he admitted. “I’d much rather be fi ghting for a championship, everyone can agree with that.”

Instead, it’s Johnson, again, in the mix.

The fi ve-time champion leads Matt Kenseth by seven points — the same margin Johnson held over Keselowski at this stage last season — heading into today’s penultimate race at Phoenix. Barring some sort of collapse by both drivers, it will be either Johnson or Kenseth

who claims the Sprint Cup tro-phy following next week’s fi nale at Homestead.

And with that, Keselowski’s reign will come to an offi cial end.

Some will say he went out with a whimper. In failing to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, Ke-selowski wasn’t eligible to de-fend his title. But he’s proud he defeated fi ve-time champion Johnson a year ago — a feat only he and Tony Stewart have accomplished since 2006.

“To me, knowing the play-ing fi eld and how it all works, it’s something I take a lot more pride in than if I didn’t under-stand the playing fi eld,” Kes-elowski said. “Obviously, that team is immune to the cycles that everyone else is, and to beat them is a very large accom-plishment in this sport. Wheth-er that was Tony the year before me, and then myself, they are just a great team and it takes a

clutch effort to beat them. I’m proud of the fact we were able to deliver last year.”

Keselowski did get some as-sistance in winning his title from Johnson’s own misfor-tunes.

At Phoenix, Johnson blew a tire and fi nished 32nd. Kesel-owski fi nished sixth and had a comfortable 20-point lead go-ing into the fi nale, where John-son had a mechanical failure.

Keselowski took some of the credit for Johnson’s issues, claiming he toyed with John-son during practice at Phoenix — a notion Johnson dismissed Friday, “I don’t even remember that. What did he do?”

But Keselowski’s idea of toy-ing with Johnson was never letting up, and running him hard every session. He doesn’t believe combating that type of attack is Johnson’s strength, and Kenseth would be wise to take that approach the next two weeks.

“For (Johnson), I wouldn’t want to have to race somebody that is going to race me hard because that is not their wheel-house. That was one of our strengths last year,” Keselowski said. “If I was going to give Matt a piece of advice, I’d say run the hell out of him every time you can. Run (Johnson) hard be-cause that’s his weakness.”

Keselowski believes it con-tributed to Johnson’s tire prob-lem at Phoenix that ultimately gave him the points lead.

“He drove the car too hard until it blew out a tire,” Kesel-owski said. “You could look at it and say that was a tire failure or whatever. Those in the garage, who know how the cars work, know it was reaching too hard and the failure that was caused from that. That’s that group’s weakness.”

That’s not how Johnson re-called it when asked about Ke-selowski’s version of events Fri-day. — AP

Keselowski’s NASCAR reign coming to a closeBY JENNA FRYER

Kentucky defender, it was easy for him to go up and haul in Mauk’s jump-ball passes in the end zone.

“The safety was really roll-ing over most of the game,” said Green-Beckham, who had seven receptions for

100 yards. “I just felt like I came out there and just beat their defense myself and just went out there and made plays.”

Missouri (9-1, 5-1 South-eastern Conference) al-lowed Kentucky (2-7, 0-5) two touchdowns in the third quarter but the Mauk-to-

Green-Beckham connection answered both scores with TDs of 22 and seven yards.

The victory helped the Ti-gers stay a half-game ahead of idle South Carolina (5-2) atop the East division head-ing into their second bye and gave coach Gary Pinkel his fourth nine-win season

in 13 years with Missouri.Missouri outgained Ken-

tucky 426-369, but its de-fense recorded 11 tackles for loss, seven sacks and recovered a fumble in hand-ing the Wildcats their 13th straight SEC loss. The Ti-gers also extended their na-tion-leading streak of games

with a takeaway to 40.Kentucky’s only conso-

lation was scores on the opening possessions of both halves. Joe Mansour kicked a 21-yard fi eld goal in the fi rst quarter, while quarter-back Jalen Whitlow ran for a 1-yard TD to start the sec-ond half.

Raymond Sanders’ 1-yard TD run brought the Wild-cats within 35-17, but the Tigers tacked on two more TDs to cap a day in which they scored four consecu-tive times in the fi rst half and three straight times in the second.

Jameis Winston had a quiet day while Florida State was putting up anoth-er blowout. Johnny Manziel was spectacular and mis-take-prone for Texas A&M.

The Heisman Trophy contenders both started the stretch drive with victories Saturday in the race that appears up for grabs.

Winston threw for 159 yards and two touchdown passes as No. 3 Florida State pounded Wake Forest 59-3. He also threw an in-terception as the Seminoles’ defense did much of the work with six interceptions in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The 11th-ranked Aggies needed every bit of Man-ziel’s 446 yards passing and fi ve TDs in a 51-41 victory at home against Mississippi State.

Oregon quarterback Mar-cus Mariota seemed to be the front-runner for the Heisman, but he had an off night as Stanford beat the Ducks on Thursday. Man-ziel is trying for his second consecutive Heisman and Winston is trying to become the second straight redshirt freshman to win the award.

No. 1 Alabama 38, No. 10 LSU 17

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, T.J. Yel-don ran for 133 yards and two scores and No. 1 Ala-bama overwhelmed No. 10 LSU 38-17 Saturday night.

The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Con-ference) turned to power football to take control of a game that was tied early in the third quarter. Yeldon carried 18 times in the sec-ond half, 25 overall, after catching the game-winning

touchdown pass in last sea-son’s meeting with the Ti-gers (7-3, 3-3).

Alabama scored the fi nal 21 points to brush aside its fi rst challenge since Game 2 against Texas A&M.

McCarron was a work-manlike 14-of-20 passing for 179 yards, letting Yel-don, Kenyan Drake and their blockers assert con-trol.

Zach Mettenberger com-pleted 16 of 23 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown but was also sacked four times.

It was the most points Alabama has scored against LSU since a 41-12 victory in 1947.

No. 3 Florida State 59, Wake Forest 3

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and Florida State tied a school record with six intercep-tions as it clinched ACC a championship game berth.

Nate Andrews took an interception 56 yards for a touchdown and Jalen Ramsey returned a fumble 23 yards for a score on con-secutive plays.

The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) claimed the inside track to a BCS title game berth with No. 2 Oregon’s loss Thursday. They kept fi rm grasp of it by forcing seven turnovers and breaking the stadium record of 56 points they set in 1994.

Florida State outgained Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) 296-166 and turned those turn-overs into fi ve TDs and a fi eld goal.

Winston was 17 of 28 for 159 yards in two-plus quar-ters with an 18-yard TD to Kelvin Benjamin and a 2-yarder to Chad Abram that made it 42-0 at half-time.

No. 11 Texas A&M 51, Mississippi St. 41

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Johnny Manziel

threw for 446 yards and tied a career-high with fi ve touchdown passes to lead Texas A&M to a win in what could be the Heisman Trophy winner’s last home game.

The crowd chanted “One more year! One more year!” late in the game for Manziel, who is eligible for the draft after this season. Whether he comes back remains to be seen, but he went into the stands to celebrate with the student section when the game was over.

Mississippi State cut the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Man-ziel threw his fi fth touch-down pass to make it 44-27 for A&M (8-2, 4-2 South-eastern Conference). The defense grabbed an inter-ception and Ben Malena’s 2-yard TD run extended the lead to 51-27.

Dax Prescott threw for 149 yards and two scores and ran for 154 yards for Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4).

Malcome Kennedy and

Travis Labhart had two touchdown receptions each. Mike Evans had 116 yards receiving to break the school single-season record with 1,263.

Manziel set a school ca-reer record for total yards with 9,040 and a single-season record with 31 touchdown passes. He became just the second A&M quarterback to run for 2,000 yards in a career and has 3,313 yards passing this year to become the fi rst Aggie with two 3,000-yard passing seasons.

No. 7 Auburn 55, Tennessee 23

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —Nick Marshall gained 214 of Auburn’s 444 yards rushing and the Tigers scored on a punt return and kickoff re-turn against Tennessee.

Marshall ran for two touchdowns on just 14 car-ries and threw for a third score. Tre Mason rushed for 117 yards and three

touchdowns as Auburn (9-1, 5-1 SEC) earned its sixth straight victory and aver-aged 8.4 yards per carry.

Chris Davis put Auburn ahead for good and broke a 13-13 tie in the second quar-ter with an 85-yard punt re-turn, Auburn’s longest since 1970 and third-longest ever. Corey Grant returned the second-half kickoff 90 yards for another Auburn touchdown.

Auburn won while at-tempting just seven passes all day. The Tigers had thrown just nine passes last week in a 35-17 victory over Arkansas.

Rajion Neal rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown for Tennessee (4-6, 1-5), which dropped its third straight.

Virginia Tech 42, No. 14 Miami 24

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Trey Edmunds ran for four touchdowns, the fi rst three of them set up by Mi-ami special-teams miscues, and Virginia Tech knocked off the 14th-ranked Hur-ricanes 42-24 on Saturday night.

Edmunds had scoring runs of 10, 2, 4 and 1 yards for the Hokies (7-3, 4-2 At-lantic Coast Conference). Logan Thomas completed 25 of 31 passes for 366 yards, giving him consecu-tive games of 300 yards or more for the fi rst time in his Virginia Tech career.

Stephen Morris com-pleted 16 of 29 passes for 324 yards for Miami (7-2, 3-2), which lost its second straight. Morris had an 81-yard touchdown pass to Stacy Coley and an 84-yard-er to Allen Hurns, but the Hurricanes were still out-gained 549-352.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Teddy Bridgewater had a chance to pad his Heis-man resume against win-less Connecticut.

He didn’t do that Friday night, though he did throw for 288 yards and a touch-down to lead No. 20 Louis-ville to a 31-10 victory, and keep the Cardinals in the hunt for a conference title.

The junior completed 21 of 37 passes. He has thrown 24 touchdown passes this season and has at least one scoring pass in 21 straight games.

“I’m pretty tough on my performances and every-thing,” he said. “I do kind of critique myself in a cer-tain way. But, any day that you can get a win, that’s what it’s all about.”

The win kept the Car-dinals (8-1, 4-1 American Athletic Conference) a game out of fi rst place in the AAC, behind the win-ner of the game Saturday night between Houston and Central Florida.

Tim Boyle threw three interceptions and had only 113 yards passing for Con-necticut (0-8, 0-4). The Huskies also had a fumble inside the Louisville 10 yard line and a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown.

“The only chance we have is not to beat our-selves,” UConn interim coach T.J. Weist said. “We turned the ball over, gave them early points on the punt, and gave them mo-mentum on offense and defense. ”

The Huskies are 0-9 since upsetting the Cardi-nals in three overtimes last November in Louisville.

Louisville had 369 yards in offense and held the Huskies to 237. The Cardi-nals have allowed only 95 points this season.

It was a methodical, but not spectacular per-formance for Bridgewater before a national television audience and representa-tives from six NFL teams in the press box. He came into the game complet-ing almost 74 percent of his passes. He might have been close to that Friday, but was victimized by nu-merous drops, as his re-ceivers seemed to struggle catching a hard ball with the temperature hovering in the 30s.

“That’s meaningful to me,” Bridgewater said. “That’s one thing, I strive to be one of the top pass-ers in the nation in the decision-making category. I still have three or four games left, so those things can go back up.”

Bridgewater threw just his third interception of the season in the third quarter when UConn’s Andrew Adams stepped in front of a pass. But cornerback Terell Floyd got that back on the next play, intercept-ing Boyle’s pass and tak-ing the ball back 17 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. It was the fi rst of two picks for Floyd.

Cardinals cornerback Charles Gaines, who had an interception for a touch-down against South Flori-da, also scored. He blocked a punt after a muffed snap, scooped it up and ran 7 yards to open the scoring. The Cardinals have out-scored opponents 75-6 in the opening 15 minutes of games this season.

Louisville wide receiver James Quick (left) attempts to get a grip on the ball as Connecticut’s Byron Jones defends during the first half of Friday’s game in East Hartford, Conn. Louisville improved to 8-1 overall with a 31-10 victory.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have a few holes in their other-wise very stingy defense, and lately opponents have been running right through them.

The Titans rank ninth in points allowed per game and seventh defending the pass. But a unit that start-ed off this season giving up very few yards on the ground now is among the worst in the NFL at 27 over-all, having given up more yards rushing in the past four games than the week before.

Coach Mike Munchak said the Titans (4-4) have to tackle better and improve against running quarter-backs.

“That’s probably the thing that has hurt us more the last two or three weeks, the quarterback running the football,” Munchak

said. “That’s kind of kept drives alive, which has made it harder for us. It’s right there. It’s all fi xable. It’s something we could do very easily. We’ve done it this year. We’ve just got to do a better job of swarm-ing and tackling and getting them on the ground.

The Titans allowed only 32 yards rushing in their season opener at Pitts-burgh. When they held the Jets to 91 yards rush-ing, they were tied for 10th against the run a month into the season.

Then they started a stretch against teams with mobile quarterbacks and gave up 120 yards rushing to the Chiefs with Jamaal Charles running for 108. Russell Wilson ran for 77 of Seattle’s 151 yards, Colin Kaepernick scampered for 68 and a touchdown as San Francisco racked up 153 yards.

The Titans gave up a sea-

son-high 160 yards rushing in last week’s 28-21 win at St. Louis with even Kellen Clemons breaking loose for a 16-yard gain. Rookie Zac Stacy ran for 127 yards, the most the Titans have al-lowed to a player this sea-son.

Defensive coordinator Jerry Gray said Thursday the Titans need to pay at-tention to detail. He also counted three missed tack-les on Stacy’s 32-yard run. Take away that run and Cle-mens’ scramble, Gray said the Titans would have given up approximately 3.5 yards per carry and 112 yards on 32 carries.

“We’d have been happy with that,” Gray said.

The result has the Titans giving up 122.5 yards rush-ing per game. Tennessee plays the Jacksonville Jag-uars (0-8) today, and Mau-rice Jones-Drew has run for 466 yards in his last three games in Nashville. Jones-

Drew has been working his way back from a foot injury but had a season-high 70 yards rushing last week.

Defensive end Derrick Morgan said they worked on stopping the run in practice Wednesday and know that they have to do just that if they want to be successful. They also know what will happen to them if they’re not ready to gang tackle Jones-Drew.

“He has an attitude about it to where he’s not going to be denied,” Morgan said. “That’s the type of attitude he has when he runs the ball. He’s not going to go out of bounds when he gets chance. That’s what we’re dealing with this week.”

Safety Bernard Pollard said the Titans haven’t clicked well even in games when they knew what the opponents would do to them like the 49ers with their read option.

Titans struggle with run defenseBY TERESA M. WALKER

Associated press

The Indianapolis Colts were down 21-3 at the half Sunday night at Reliant Stadium in Houston. With seconds to play in the third quarter, the Texans still led 24-6.

But the Colts, under the direction of second-year quarterback Andrew Luck, found a way.

Luck, the No. 1 selection in the 2012 draft, hooked up with second-year wide-out T.Y. Hilton on a 10-yard scoring pass with fi ve sec-onds left in the third quar-ter.

In the fourth, Luck and Hilton teamed up for TD passes covering 58 and 9 yards as the Colts rallied for a 27-24 win over the two-time defending AFC South champion Texans.

Luck, 24, has led the Colts to 17 wins in 24 NFL starts. In 10 of those, he has come through with game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime.

The Colts (6-2) host the Rams (3-6) today at noon at Lucas Oil Stadium. In-dianapolis has handed NFL powers Denver (39-33) and Seattle (34-28) its only loss-es this season. In addition, the Colts won 27-7 at San Francisco.

“This is a whole new chal-lenge,” Fisher said. “A re-ally good opponent with an outstanding young quarter-back.”

The son of former NFL quarterback Oliver Luck, Andrew Luck excelled in three seasons at Stanford,

and fi nished as the Heis-man Trophy runner-up to Cam Newton in 2010 and to Robert Griffi n III in 2011.

Luck entered a potential fi restorm in Indianapolis as the young quarterback looking to take over for NFL legend Peyton Manning, but he has handled it bril-liantly.

Luck actually made his professional debut against the Rams, completing 10 of 16 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-3 win to open the 2012 pre-season.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — If the rest of the starts by Shannon Scott and LaQuin-ton Ross go like the fi rst one, No. 11 Ohio State won’t have any problem having a superlative season.

Scott scored a career-high 16 points and Ross, also starting for the fi rst time as a junior, had 14 points and a personal-best 11 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes past Morgan State 89-50 on Sat-urday.

Asked which career high most pleased him, coach Thad Matta refused to choose.

“Quite honestly, both. For Shannon, him seeing the ball go through the basket, you see that hard work pay off that obviously gives you that boost of confi dence,” Matta said. “For LaQuin-ton, we knew we were los-ing a great rebounder in De-shaun (Thomas). That’s one of the things we’ve ques-tioned about this team — where’s the rebounding go-ing to come from? He did a very nice job of rebounding out of his area. We’re going to need that from him.”

Lenzelle Smith Jr. led the way with 18 points and spurred a fi rst-half spurt for the Buckeyes, who im-proved to 93-18 in home openers and 89-22 in sea-son debuts.

Much of the drama van-ished early after Ohio State scored the fi rst eight points and built a 26-point half-time lead.

Sam Thompson added 14 points and freshman Marc Loving had 10 for Ohio State. Scott had seven as-sists to go with his 16 points, while Ross registered his fi rst career double-double.

“(That balance) makes it really hard for our team to

be guarded,” said Scott, the son of legendary North Car-olina and NBA star Charlie Scott. “They really can’t fo-cus in on one player. Every-body on the court is capable of scoring now.”

The Buckeyes are coming off a 29-8 season in which they tied for second in the Big Ten with a 13-5 record.

Ohio State returns four starters: Amir Williams, Aaron Craft, Smith and Thompson. Ross, who blos-somed in the NCAA tourna-ment last year as a reserve, is expected to step into the spot vacated by the depar-ture of Thomas, last year’s Big Ten scoring leader.

No. 15 Gonzaga 100, Bryant 76

SPOKANE, Wash. — Sam Dower had 21 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead No. 15 Gonzaga past Bryant 100-76 on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

The 6-foot-9 senior, mak-ing his eighth start for the Bulldogs, shot 8 of 13 from the fi eld and posted his sec-ond career double-double.

Gerard Coleman, a trans-fer from Providence, scored 15 points for Gonzaga before a sellout crowd of 6,000 at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Junior guards Gary

Bell Jr. and Kevin Pan-gos added 14 apiece, and Przemek Karnowski had 10 points despite playing only 12 minutes due to foul trouble.

Dyami Starks scored a career-high 35 points for Bryant, including 29 in the second half. Alex Francis added 13, giving him 1,503 in his career.

No. 16 Wichita State 93, Emporia State 50

WICHITA, Kan. — Clean-thony Early scored 21 points and Ron Baker add-ed 17 to lead No. 16 Wichita State to a 93-50 victory over Emporia State on Saturday in the Shockers’ fi rst game since their Final Four ap-pearance.

The Shockers cruised in their season opener against Emporia State, an NCAA Division II team playing for the second consecutive day, by shooting 51.7 percent and attempting 22 more free throws than the Hor-nets. Baker led the shooting effort by going 7 of 9 from the fi eld, including 2 of 3 from 3-point range, while adding six assists. Fred VanVleet had 12 points and six assists for Wichita State.

The Shockers were 25 of 33 from the free-throw line.

Louisville’s Russ Smith (left) attempts to steal the ball from the College of Charles-ton’s Canyon Barry during the second half of Saturday’s game in Louisville. Louis-ville defeated the College of Charleston 70-48.

again in the second half be-cause we played like starv-ing dogs,” Louisville coach Rick Pitino said.

Duke coach Mike Krzyze-wski saw it when Louisville shook off the grief of losing teammate Kevin Ware to a broken leg and ripped off a 13-2 second-half run that pushed the Cardinals to the Final Four.

“I thought we had a chance there, and then, boom,” Krzyzewski said after the Midwest Regional fi nal. “That’s what they do to teams.”

Louisville pulled off similar comebacks against Wichita State and Michi-gan to earn the school’s third national title in April. They unveiled the cham-

pionship banner for those efforts before Saturday’s game but were shaky at the start following the ceremo-ny that Pitino wrapped up.

“We are very much like the Green Bay Packers. We are owned by our fans,” he said, choked up in the mo-ment.

Preseason All-America Russ Smith led Louisville with 21 points and fi ve as-sists. He said while the pre-game pageantry was “spe-cial” it “threw everything out of rhythm.”

“We just had to kind of kick the rust off,” Smith said. “I’m kind of happy we got back into playing the way we know how to play.”

That style — pressure basketball on defense and attacking the rim on of-fense — was on display as

Louisville’s spurt put the Cougars away late.

“It kind of just felt like last year when we kind of just boomed people,” said Stephan Van Treese, a fi fth-year senior. “We just kept it going. It was awesome; the crowd really got into it.”

Van Treese had six points and seven rebounds, all in the second half, after picking up two fouls in the fi rst 3:10. Freshman Man-gok Mathiang added seven points and 10 rebounds in his collegiate debut.

They were the players trying to replace Gorgui Dieng, now with the Min-nesota Timberwolves, at center.

“That was great play and what we need from the 5 spot,” Pitino said.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emotional deception must not come between you and your hard-earned cash. A short trip or researching what you need to know in order to make a person-al decision will pay off in the sav-ings you earn by being diligent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel restless and in need

of a change, but whatever you decide to spend your money on must not be frivolous. Invest in your skills, talents or a service you can offer. Turn what you have to offer into something tangible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your true feelings show. If you don’t ask for things or answers, you will never know where you stand. You are in for a surprise that will lead to positive change. A nudge can be a good thing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pro-tect your heart, your cash and your reputation. Problems at work will escalate if you aren’t creative in the way you handle sensitive issues. Take a day trip somewhere that is conducive to clearing your head and figuring

out your next move. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Start your year-end preparations early and you will put your mind at ease. Knowing what you have in the bank and what your dis-posable income is will help you make better choices. A personal partnership will improve if you are affectionate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick close to home and don’t take emotional, physical or fi-nancial risks. Play it safe and avoid being sorry. Don’t let the unexpected changes others make alarm or confuse you. Stick to your plans and you’ll reach your goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let your past be your teacher.

Dig up creative ideas you shelved and put them back into motion. Keep your distance from anyone showing signs of emotional instability. You need a little time to follow your heart and your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can sell what you have to offer and advance, but don’t promise something you have no intention doing. It’s important to keep the peace, but even more important to tell the truth. Deal with unwanted situations and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a leisurely break and you’ll come up with some ideas that will please the people you care about most. Plans for

home improvements or discuss-ing your next vacation or family project will win you favors and affection in return.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have trouble making good decisions if you let your emotions interfere. Revisit mistakes you’ve made in the past and it will help you make better choices now. Learn from the past, live in the moment and improve the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Personal contracts and mak-ing a promise to someone you care for will help you feel better about the future. Knowing which way you are heading and the commitment you are prepared to make will open up all sorts of opportunities.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — On the screen, Chris Hemsworth battles aliens as superhero Thor. But this day, his wounds are of the domestic variety.

“I was trying to grate gin-ger,” said the 30-year-old actor, holding up his right hand to display bandaged fi ngers. “The grater came apart, so I was positioning the blades back in and cut my fi ngers. I wish I could say I was rescuing some old lady who was being robbed. But, really, I was just cook-ing in the kitchen.”

In-person, Hemsworth’s robust frame is impressive. But, he’s not as massive as he appears on fi lm.

“I don’t naturally sit at that weight,” he said of his on-screen appearance. “I spend four or fi ve months eating protein and lift-ing weights. Then I spend months getting rid of it.”

His routine has defi nitely paid off. Overseas, Disney’s “Thor: The Dark World” earned a summer block-buster-like $109.4 million when it opened overseas last weekend. On Friday, the Marvel sequel hit do-mestic theaters, with pre-dictions it could earn more than $95 million in North America alone, toppling “Ender’s Game” from its No. 1 box-offi ce spot.

“Each time these fi lms continue to work — wheth-er it be ‘Captain America,’ ‘Iron Man,’ or ‘Aveng-ers’ — you think, ‘Oh god!’ You don’t want to drop the ball,” said Hemsworth.

Contractually bound to one more “Thor” fi lm and two more “Avengers” mov-ies, Hemsworth will con-tinue to reprise his role as the hammer-wielding hero.

“I’d do them for as long as they will have me,” he said. “I love being a part of this crazy ride that Marvel has set us all on. It’s opened up so many doors for me.”

In September, Hems-worth starred as Formula One racer James Hunt in the Ron Howard-directed “Rush.” The fi lm — a box-offi ce disappointment, in contrast to Hemsworth’s superhero movies — marked a new chapter in his movie career.

“‘Rush’ was a far more intimate setting,” the actor said in a recent interview as he tucking a few loose dirty-blond strands of hair under his fi sherman hat. “All of the focus is on the story and the characters. You’re not competing with special effects and big stunts.”

Hemsworth’s work in “Rush” led to another role in a Howard picture: The upcoming “Heart of the Sea.” The period adven-ture fi lm, based on the true events that inspired Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick,” is currently fi lming in London.

Hemsworth will also star as a cyber-guru in an up-coming, not-yet-titled Mi-chael Mann thriller.

When preparing for the role in Mann’s fi lm, Hem-sworth took computer les-sons for two and a half months. “I couldn’t be more inept in mathematics and computers,” he said, adding with a chuckle, “It

was quite a steep hill to climb for me.”

Luckily, Hemsworth is always game for a challenge — even if it means taking a pay cut to tackle meatier roles. “Look, it’s great to earn money,” says the ac-tor, who has a 17-month-old daughter, India Rose, with wife Elsa Pataky. “But it’s not why I got into it. There are obvious great bonuses fi nancially, but I don’t pick roles on that. You can’t. If you do it’s a short-lived ca-reer and you end up in one type of thing.”

Despite his success in Hollywood, Hemsworth still fi ghts anxiety on “ev-ery set I step on,” he says. “I can’t help but think, ‘Do I have a handle on this? Am I going to be able to make this truthful?’ But I like that question mark. It keeps you alive. There is a danger to becoming too comfortable.”

Hemsworth back as Thor but won’t be type-cast

RICHMOND, Va. — On his fi rst day on the set of “Killing Kennedy,” Rob Lowe saw Ginnifer Good-win donning a replica of the pink suit worn by fi rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Immediately, the inten-sity and the reality of what they were about to depict in the fi lm hit home.

“Seeing her in that beautiful pink Chanel with bloodstains on it was unbelievably emo-tional,” Lowe said on the set, briefl y suppressing the accent he groomed to emulate JFK.

“It made it real,” he add-ed. “If I were under any illusions about what we were doing, seeing her in that iconic moment was, I would say, sobering.”

It also set the tone for fi lming of the movie, which profi les the Ken-nedy family and gun-man Lee Harvey Oswald. Filmed in Richmond, it premieres today on the National Geographic Channel, several days be-fore the 50th anniversary of JFK’s death in Dallas.

In one scene, Lowe and Goodwin paint a portrait of the last private mo-ments of the fi rst couple in a Texas hotel suite be-fore the parade. As Jackie lays out the now infamous pink Chanel suit, the two share loving banter.

“I’m so glad that you’re here, it’s so much better when you’re here,” Kenne-dy says. “Because the one thing I could never bear

would be to lose you.”The fi lm, based on Fox

News host Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s book by the same name, chronicles the events that culminated with the assassination of the na-tion’s 35th president on Nov. 22, 1963. It carefully interlaces old fi lm reels and TV broadcasts and delves beyond the details of that fateful day and the aftermath, showing view-ers the intimate moments behind JFK’s presidency as well as the tale behind Oswald.

Will Rothhaar, who took on a challenge por-traying one of the most notorious killers in American history, said

he attempted to convey Oswald’s strife and frus-tration just to be noticed, heard or respected.

Lowe said the oppor-tunity to play JFK came with some responsibility to pay tribute to an his-toric fi gure whose legacy “belongs to all of us.”

“There’s a connection playing him that is cer-tainly deeper than playing other roles,” Lowe said. “My interest was in who he was as a man, as a fa-ther, as a husband, as a human being, and to try to inhabit that.”

And in the eyes Lowe’s co-star, he did.

“There were times when I felt like I was with the ghost of Jack,” Goodwin said.
