STANFORD, Calif. -- With a young quarterback making his second career start, Stanford coach David Shaw was fully comfortable having his team run the ball on its final 29 plays from scrimmage.With a backfield tandem of 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist Christian McCaffrey and promising sophomore Bryce Love, Shaws decision was really a no-brainer.McCaffrey rushed for 199 yards and a touchdown, Love scored on a 56-yard touchdown run and Stanford beat Oregon State 26-15 on Saturday afternoon.Conrad Ukropina kicked a career-high four field goals, including a personal best-tying 52-yarder in the first half, to help the Cardinal (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12) become bowl eligible.We were running the ball for six yards a clip, theyre getting a little bit tired and weve got two running backs we can rotate through there, Shaw said of his decision to keep the ball on the ground over the final 20 minutes. When youve got an offensive line thats feeling good and creating creases, and two running backs that are getting better and better, (with) a two-score lead . why put it up in the air? Lets ground this thing and lets end the game.Stanford sputtered offensively much of the day and had to overcome three fumbled snaps by quarterback Keller Chryst but held on to win its seventh straight against Oregon State (2-7, 1-5).The Cardinal did it behind another strong outing by its defense, which intercepted Beavers quarterback Marcus McMaryion twice in the second half.More importantly, Stanford piled up 365 yards rushing and controlled the ball for more than 39 minutes.It went well but I go as the O-line goes and they did a fantastic job today, McCaffrey said. Still, at the end of the day we have a lot of things we have to work on. We have to finish the ball in the end zone. Too many field goals.McCaffrey, whose 51-yard run in the first half helped set up Ukropinas second field goal, scored on a one-yard run in the third quarter. The 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist was also stopped on a 4th-and-1 plunge late in the fourth quarter.Its the 16th 100-yard game for McCaffrey since the start of the 2015 season.Love, a sophomore who filled in when McCaffrey was injured earlier this season, finished with 89 yards on nine carries.If theres nobody between him and the goal line youre not going to catch him, Shaw said of Love.Stanfords ground game was key on a day Chryst was more effective running the ball than throwing it in his second career start. Chryst completed 10 of 17 passes for 60 yards but rushed for 83 including a 44-yard keeper that set up McCaffreys touchdown.The win puts Stanford in line for a bowl bid. The Cardinal have played in the Rose Bowl three of the past four years but arent in the running for the Pac-12 title this time around despite going into the season as favorites.Ryan Nall rushed for 77 yards on 10 carries for Oregon State. The Beavers have lost four straight and six of seven.McMaryion passed for one touchdown and ran for another but completed only 10 of 24 attempts for 137 yards.Credit Stanfords defense, McMaryion said. Its real simple. They line up and come at you. They did well in man coverage. We have to execute better.I can help the offense more, show my athleticism in the run aspect of the game.THE TAKEAWAYOregon State: Nall had another solid afternoon running the ball but not much else went right for the Beavers. The offense failed to generate a single first down on four drives and committed a pair of turnovers. That was simply too much to overcome for coach Gary Andersens team.Stanford: Its been a rough season for Shaw and his staff but theyre still headed for the postseason and thats a positive. Even without much production from the passing game this was an easier-than-it-looked win for the Cardinal. McCaffrey and Love gave the offense a much-needed boost but it was the defense again that made the difference.UP NEXTOregon State: The Beavers finally catch a break in the schedule with their Nov. 12 trip to UCLA. The Bruins have dropped four straight this season but beat Oregon State 41-0 in Corvalis a year ago.Stanford: The Cardinal travel to Eugene to face the Oregon Ducks on Nov. 12 in a meeting between two former Pac-12 champions who have fallen on rough times. Stanford has lost 11 of the previous 14 games against Oregon, including last years 38-36 loss.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Vapormax Miglior Prezzo .

DETROIT -- Sam Bradford had spent much of the game throwing short, crisp passes.It didnt necessarily make for exciting football, but that low-risk approach enabled the Minnesota quarterback to avoid sacks and turnovers.Then his final throw was intercepted, setting up Detroits winning field goal.I think their corner just made a really good play. Id like to have it back, Bradford said.Bradford went 31 of 37 on Thursday, and that late interception was his only turnover, but the Vikings lost 16-13 .Their attempts to move the ball with quick, short passes didnt lead to many points, and Bradford threw for only 224 yards on all those completions.Minnesota receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) was out, and nobody else emerged as much of a big-play threat.Weve probably got to try to find a way to create some explosive plays, Bradford said.Its hard when you are only picking up five, six, seven at a time. Theres things that we can do to try to figure out how we can create some more explosive plays.The interception in the final minute by Darius Slay was only the third of the season thrown by Bradford, who has completed 71 percent of his passes. But hes averaging only 6.9 yards per attempt.With the game tied at 13, the Vikings (6-5) took over at their 25 with 1:45 remaining. As he had all game, Bradford threw short, finding Kyle Rudolph for 5 yyards and Cordarrelle Patterson for 3.ddddddddddddAfter letting the clock run for a while, Minnesota appeared to have picked up a first down on another short throw, but an illegal formation penalty left the Vikings facing third-and-7. That was when Slay stepped up in coverage and intercepted Bradford, giving the Lions (7-4) the ball with 30 seconds left.On what looked like a safe pass for Bradford, Slay created a turnover with an aggressive move.Hes kind of got a knack for it, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Hes one of those guys too thats a bit of a riverboat gambler. Hell take a chance when he sees its there. Hell go after it.Minnesotas inability to throw deep cost the Vikings earlier in the fourth quarter as well. They had the ball deep in Detroit territory, but a penalty pushed the ball back to the 25 on first down. Bradford completed three straight passes -- for 4, 5 and 6 yards -- and Minnesota settled for a field goal.On his teams next drive, Bradford completed a 2-yard pass on third-and-3, and the Vikings punted. The Lions drove for the tying field goal.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
