WHISTLER, British Columbia -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries started her World Cup season in the best way possible.Elana Meyers Taylor could not say the same.Humphries teamed with Cynthia Appiah to win the season debut race at the Whistler Sliding Center on Saturday, finishing their two runs in 1 minute, 46.53 seconds and posting the fastest time in both heats. Christina Hengster and Sanne Monique Dekker of Austria were second in 1:46.77, and Jamie Greubel Poser and Lauren Gibbs of the U.S. took the bronze in in 1:46.86.Humphries and Appiah broke the tracks start record, with a 5.09-second time in their first heat.Regardless of a win or a loss, I think it is important to start the season strong and Im really happy with how we performed today with two good starts and two good runs from a driving perspective, Humphries said. It is all about performance. That is what Canadians expect from us.Gruebel Poser got a medal for the seventh time in her last nine World Cup starts.Even though I dropped back in the second run, I had another really great run and I cant be mad about that, Greubel Poser said. We gave everything we had, including two great pushes.Humphries would have likely trailed her close friend and top rival, Meyers Taylor -- the longtime American star and two-time Olympic medalist who built a 0.36-second lead past the midway point of her first heat. But Meyers Taylor lost control of the sled and crashed, ending her day but escaping serious injury.Kehri and I are OK, Meyers Taylor said on her Facebook page. Banged up but OK.Meyers Taylor added that she would see her fans in Lake Placid, where the tour is headed for its next stop in two weeks -- a sign that she doesnt intend to miss any time.Even with Meyers Taylor out, the Americans had two sleds in the top seven Saturday. Brittany Reinbolt teamed with first-year push athlete Briauna Jones to finish seventh.I tried to have fun and enjoy the experience, especially since it was Briaunas first World Cup, Reinbolt said. Its the first time I really like I had the chance to be competitive on this circuit.Humphries broke the track start record in her first attempt Saturday, topping a mark that had stood for six years.She nearly lost the record about five minutes later.Meyers Taylor and Jones got off the start ramp in 5.06 seconds -- 0.03 seconds better than Humphries -- but their run ended well before the intended finish. Meyers Taylor was in position to take a huge lead when she crashed hard during that first heat, getting disqualified even though the sled crossed the line because Jones fell out along the way.Their sled was damaged, and the record never went into the books. Because they were DQed, the start record reverted to Humphries mark.Alexander Kasjanov of Russia was the winning pilot later Saturday in the four-man race that wrapped up the first World Cup weekend of the season, finishing in 1:42.51.Switzerlands Rico Peter got his team across the line in the silver-medal spot, finishing in 1:42.71. Germanys Johannes Lochner drove his sled to third in 1:42.94 -- just edging former world and Olympic champion Steven Holcomb of the U.S., whose team was fourth and missed the podium by a mere 0.03 seconds.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Trevor Knight got a tip from assistant coach Jim Turner before facing fourth down from the 1-yard line in overtime in Texas A&Ms 31-24 victory over No. 16 UCLA on Saturday.The offensive line coach noticed how UCLAs defense had approached several plays and told Knight what he should do.Coach Turner said ... youre going to have an opportunity to pull this ball and walk it into the end zone, Knight said.And thats exactly what he did.Knight threw for 239 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores, including that one in overtime to lead Texas A&M past UCLA in his debut with the Aggies.Texas A&M sealed the victory when Justin Evans knocked down Josh Rosens pass at the goal line on fourth down.All Im thinking is: `Man, Ive got to make a play. Ive got to make a play, Evans said. He threw it up. I went up for it and made a play.Knight, a graduate transfer from Oklahoma, outplayed Rosen.Rosen threw three interceptions while working under heavy pressure from a defense led by Myles Garrett.The Aggies looked to have this one wrapped up when they led by 15 in the fourth quarter after using two third-quarter touchdowns.But UCLAs offense finally got going after that, scoring twice in two minutes with the second one coming on a 62-yard pass by Rosen to cut it two 2. A 2-point conversion after that TD tied it with 2:39 remaining.The Bruins were driving again after a third straight punt by A&M when Evans intercepted Rosens pass for the second time to give A&M a chance to win it in regulation.But Knights pass was knocked down in the end zone to force overtime.I took too long to get going, and that cant happen, Rosen said. Its a quarterback-driven sport, and you cant have a quarterback play that bad in the first half. Its completely unacceptable.Knight wasnt the only former Sooner to shine for the Aggies on Saturday. Running back Keith Ford had a touchdown and 65 of A&Ms 203 yards rushing in his first game since setting out a yeear following his transfer from Oklahoma.dddddddddddd.NO CONVERSATIONGarrett, who led the Southeastern Conference with 12 1/2 sacks last season, had a sack, 1 1/2 tackles for losses and two quarterback hurries on Saturday. He was asked if Rosen said anything to him.We didnt have any chit chat. There was no trash talk, Garrett said. I just knew I was going to be in his face a lot.THE TAKEAWAYUCLA: Rosen will have to make better decisions and the Bruins need to shore up an offensive line that allowed five sacks on Saturday to get back on track and win the Pac-12s South division as they were predicted to do.TEXAS A&M: Coach Kevin Sumlin will certainly have plenty for Knight to work on after seeing him in game action for the first time with the Aggies. But his solid performance along with the excellent outing by the running game answered some questions about an offense that lost quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray to transfers and got a new offensive coordinator in Noel Mazzone this offseason.POLL IMPLICATIONSUCLA: The Bruins will likely fall a few spots in the poll because of the loss, but should remain ranked thanks to the comeback that forced overtime.Texas A&M: The Aggies were receiving the second-most votes among teams not ranked in the preseason poll, so they should enter the poll next week thanks to the win and several losses among ranked teams on opening weekend.UP NEXTUCLA: The Bruins meet UNLV for just the second time next Saturday in their home opener.TEXAS A&M: The Aggies stay home again next week when theyll face FCS opponent Prairie View, which is just 50 miles away, for the first time.LAST WORD:Proud of our guys to get the win, but the way things happened weve got a lot to work on, Sumlin said. We kind of went to sleep at the wheel there early in the fourth quarter. We cant have lapses like that. ' ' '
