STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Pat Chambers watched nearly all of the film available on Wright State heading into Saturday.Penn States coach was worried about the Raiders, specifically their ability to shoot 3-pointers with pinpoint accuracy and fill hoops at a clip of nearly 83 points per game. That average took a big hit after Penn State tilted the court decidedly with stingy defense in the Nittany Lions 72-50 win on Saturday.I probably watched six out of their nine games, Chambers said. They can really fill it up. A team like that really scares me, and man, these guys really stepped up.Shep Garner scored 17 points, Payton Banks added 15 and the Nittany Lions (6-3) held the Raiders (6-3) to just 16-of-66 shooting. Mark Alstork led Wright State with 15 points while Justin Mitchell and Steven Davis added nine each. Mitchell led the Raiders with 11 rebounds.Wright State shooters made just 6 of 23 3-pointers but heated up with three in the final seven minutes. By then it was too late as the Nittany Lions led by 27 when Mike La Tulip hit the Raiders final 3-pointer with 3:51 left.Im pretty sure thats the worst offensive output that Ive ever seen in 22 years, Wright State coach Scott Nagy said.Josh Reaves and Lamar Stevens added 12 points apiece for the Nittany Lions (6-3) who won their fourth straight. Tony Carr grabbed 12 rebounds.The Nittany Lions led for all but 56 seconds and pulled away after leading 29-26 at halftime. Penn State opened the second half with a 13-2 run and steadily increased it as the game wore on. The Raiders werent able to cut Penn States lead by any more than 13 points and did so when Grant Benzinger tipped in a rebound to make it 45-32 with 14:42 left.I thought our team did a really nice job coming out in the second half and basically saying, were better than what we showed in the first half, Chambers said.BIG MIKE, BIG DIFFERENCE MAKERPenn State forward Mike Watkins was dominant before foul trouble forced him to spend most of the first half on the bench.The 6-foot-9 forward grabbed five rebounds, blocked four shots and added a steal in the first seven minutes he played. He finished with eight blocks, nine rebounds, a steal and added eight points. He was 6-for-6 shooting from the free-throw line.Id like to say a lot of times, we have really good defensive possessions and I like to think of myself as a really good on-ball defender, Reaves said. But just having Mike behind you, its just so comforting. Its God-given. Its just a blessing to have him behind us playing defense.When Watkins returned in the second half, he continued to foil the Raiders who had little success driving the basket and underneath. They finished with just 16 points in the paint.STEVENS BOUNCE BACKStevens first half ended poorly. He missed his last five shots, all short or mid-range jumpers and Wright State chipped away at Penn States lead in the meantime. Stevens entered the locker room frustrated.He sparked Penn States run in the second half with six of the teams first 13 points including two nice drives, one ending with a vicious slam dunk between defenders.I think that ignited us for sure, Chambers said. Lamar was pretty upset about how he finished the half and I talked to him very kindly at halftime and then he said to me, `I got you. And thats when I knew Lamar was about to turn it up and really play well. But we need that consistency for the minutes that hes on the floor.THE BIG PICTUREWright State: Picked in the preseason to finish in the middle of the Horizon League pack, the Raiders entered the game a game behind Valparaiso and Oakland for the conferences top spot. Theyll play five of their next six games on the road including the Horizon League opener against Oakland on Dec. 29.Penn State: The Nittany Lions have four players averaging in double figures and two are freshmen. The balanced scoring has been buoyed by Chambers commitment to spread minutes around to keep his players fresh. Eight of 10 Nittany Lions played at least 15 minutes on Saturday and the strategy appears to be paying off with four games left before Penn State begins Big Ten play.UP NEXTWright State plays at Loyola of Chicago on Wednesday.Penn State hosts George Mason on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. We have a new superstar player to celebrate in college football, but not a new No. 1 team.Boy, was it close, though.For the first time in the history of the Associated Press poll, the top three teams played on the road against ranked teams, so we expected some shake-up. And by the time Cal completed its upset of No. 11 Texas, seven ranked teams had fallen in Week 3.?No. 1 Alabama found itself in familiar territory, trailing SEC West nemesis Ole Miss for the third straight season.The No. 19 Rebels held a 24-3 lead late in the first half at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, but the Crimson Tide scored two touchdowns in the final 2:10, the second coming on Eddie Jacksons 85-yard punt return.After Alabama went ahead 48-30 late in the fourth quarter, Ole Miss scored two touchdowns in eight seconds, thanks to a successful onside kick, before the Crimson Tide survived with a 48-43 victory. For the Tide, the 21-point deficit matched the largest comeback in the programs storied history. For the Rebels, it was the second game this season in which theyve lost after leading by 21 points. (The other was against Florida State.)It was a taxing win for the Crimson Tide, and many of their players and coaches needed an IV -- but not Nick Saban.You have coaches getting IVs, Saban said. You have players getting IVs. But the old fella doesnt need an IV because they dont make em like they used to.While Alabama took some time to find its footing against Ole Miss, No. 2 Florida State was run out of the building at Louisville. The Seminoles were embarrassed in a 63-20 loss against the 10th-ranked Cardinals -- it was the third-largest victory over a top-two team in the 80-year history of the AP poll and the biggest since 2008.Although were only one-third of the way into the season, Louisvilles Lamar Jackson might be an early runaway winner of the Heisman Trophy. The sophomore quarterback continued his sizzling start by running for four touchdowns and throwing for one more against FSU. Jackson has accounted for 18 touchdowns in three games.?The Cardinals are more than a one-man circus, however. Louisvilles defense held FSU star tailback?Dalvin Cook?to only 3.4 yards per carry and harassed freshman quarterback?Deondre Francois?into 7-of-18 passing.After humiliating the Seminoles, the Cardinals will get their chance against defending ACC champion Clemson on the road on Oct. 1.We look at the start of the season and we know that everything has to go through Florida State and Clemson, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said.Alabama doesnt seem ready to loosen its grip on No. 1, but it might be hard to argue that the SEC is still the best league. In fact, that distinction might belong to -- gasp! -- the Big Ten, which figures to have at least three teams ranked in the top 10 when new polls are released Sunday.No. 3 Ohio State scored 35 points in the first half at Oklahoma and all but knocked the No. 14 Sooners out of the College Football Playoff race with a 45-24 victory. The Buckeyes are 19-0 in road games under coach Urban Meyer, and theyve won five consecutive road games against ranked foes. After losing nine underclassmen to the NFL draft, the Buckeyes were supposed to be a year away from challenging for one of the four spots in the CFP. But even with eight new starters on both sides of the ball, Ohio State again looks as if it might be the team to beat in the Big Ten.Quarterback J.T. Barrett threw four touchdown passes against Oklahoma, all of them to sophomore Noah Brown, who might have already turned in the touchdown catch of the season with a behind-the-back (of the defender) grab late in the first half.Although Ohio State won easily for the third week in a row, No. 4 Michigan was actually tested for the first time. The Wolverines fell behind Colorado by 14 points twice in the first quarter before rallying for a comfortable 45-28 victory at the Big House.In the first two games, we were never really punched in the face, Michigan tight end Jake Butt told reporters. It wasnt going to be a fairy tale the whole season.Ohio State probably wont be Michigans lone competition in the Big Ten. No. 12 Michigan State built a 29-point lead in the third quarter at No. 18 Notre Dame before the Fighting Irish fought back for three late touchdowns. The Spartans held on for a 36-28 victory to end a three-game losing streak against Notre Dame.Along with Oklahoma, the Fighting Irish have already lost two games and are probably eliminated from the CFP race before the calendar even turns to October. So is USC, which lost 27-10 at Stanford on Saturday night. Cardinal star Christian McCaffrey had 260 all-purpose yards, scoring on a 56-yard catch and 1-yard run.Nebraska also figures to enter the top-25 rankings after beating No. 22 Oregon 35-32. The Cornhuskers were aided by the Ducks decision to keep trying two-point conversions; Oregon went 1-for-5 on the attempts, the most missed conversions by a team in the past 10 seasons.With a 3-0 start, Nebraska suddenly looks like the favorite in the Big Ten West. FCS national champion North Dakota State stunned No. 13 Iowa 23-21 with a last-second field goal in Iowa City. The Bison are the first FCS program to defeat an AP-ranked opponent since 2013 and the fourth to do so since the FBS/FCS split in 1978.I told them before the game we belonged. I told them at halftime we belonged, North Dakota State coach Chris Klieman said. Thats a great football team we beat today. You cant tell anyone in our locker room were not good enough to beat anybody.After a wild start to the 2016 season, the Crimson Tide werent the only ones who needed to catch their breath Saturday.This game was so wild and woolly, Saban said. It was an unbelievable game for fans to watch. It was a really difficult game for a coach to have to suffer through, but we made it.We made it.Thats more than a lot of the spoorts traditional powers could say after Saturday.dddddddddddd.Playoff teams after Week 31. Alabama: Freshman Jalen Hurts ran for 146 yards in a 48-43 win at Ole Miss, becoming the first quarterback to run for more than 100 yards on a Saban-coached team (in college or the NFL).2. Louisville: The Cardinals made an emphatic statement in their 63-20 rout of Florida State. They were the first ACC team to score 60 points in three straight contests, and the 63 points were the most given up by a Seminoles team in a game.3. Ohio State: The Buckeyes scored 35 points in the first half of a 45-24 win at Oklahoma, the most points the Sooners gave up in the first half of a game at Memorial Stadium. OSU opens Big Ten play in two weeks against Rutgers at home after a bye this coming week.4. Michigan: The Wolverines fell behind Colorado 21-7 early but pulled away behind their dominant defense. The Buffaloes had more points, yards and first downs in the first quarter than they had in the final three quarters combined.Next four in contention1. Houston: After a slow start at Cincinnati on Thursday night, the Cougars exploded for 28 points in the fourth quarter of a 40-16 victory. Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. returned from a shoulder injury and passed for 326 yards with three total touchdowns (two rushing and one passing).2. Clemson: After two so-so performances to start the season, the Tigers demolished FCS foe South Carolina State 59-0 at Death Valley. It was so bad that the coaches agreed to play 12-minute quarters in the second half.3. Stanford: The Cardinals win over USC was their third straight victory over the Trojans by double digits, a first in the programs history. Stanford will play three of its next four games away from home: at UCLA, at No. 8 Washington and at No. 18 Notre Dame.4. Michigan State: The Spartans built an early 29-point lead, then held on for a 36-28 win at Notre Dame. It was Michigan States first win in the rivalry since 2010 and its first in South Bend, Indiana, since 2007.Heisman candidates1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville: Jackson accounted for five more touchdowns against Florida State (one passing, four rushing) to give him an FBS-high 18 in three games this season. Entering Saturday, none of the 127 FBS teams other than Louisville had scored 18 touchdowns this season. It was Jacksons fifth consecutive game with 100 rushing yards and 100 passing yards.2. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford: USC has become McCaffreys favorite opponent. In his past three games against the Trojans, including two games last season, McCaffrey is averaging 320 all-purpose yards. Saturday was his 13th straight game with at least 200 all-purpose yards, best in the FBS.3. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State: Barrett had four passing touchdowns and rushed for 74 yards on the ground in the Buckeyes convincing win over Oklahoma. Barrett passed Braxton Miller and Troy Smith on Ohio States all-time list with his 55th career touchdown pass.?4. Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State: Pumphrey ran for 220 yards with three touchdowns on 23 carries in the Aztecs 42-28 win at Northern Illinois. It was his second straight game with more than 200 rushing yards, and he set a Mountain West Conference record with his 52nd career touchdown.Best momentsBest playsWorst plays1. Clemsons Ray-Ray McCloud can sleep better at night. South Carolina States Ahmaad Harris fielded a kickoff and flipped the ball to an official --?without taking a knee. The Tigers recovered the fumble for a touchdown.Tweets of the nightQuotes of the night1. I saw that the linebackers were down the middle. I had to get the corner to the middle of the field, and once they called hike I said, I got to get to the middle before he does. Before he beats me there. Thats what I did. He threw a good pass; I had to adjust and come down with it and secure it. That put us on top. -- Georgia receiver Isaiah McKenzie on his winning touchdown catch against Missouri2. As a quarterback, you cant do that. It stinks that Im sitting here and saying that its my mistake again, but I have to correct it because its on me. If we dont turn that ball over like that, we probably sit here and win the game. -- Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly3. Everybody knew that it was not a fluke. It was physical play. It got our attention. I did not have to say something magical to get them fired up. -- Miami coach Mark Richt, about how Appalachian State got his teams attention with its overtime loss at Tennessee in its opener. The Hurricanes defeated the Mountaineers 45-10 on the road.4. The refs came over to me right before the half and asked if Id be OK with shortening up the game if South Carolina State was. I said itd be fine with me. They came over again before the start of the third quarter and asked if Id be OK with 12-minute quarters. It was fine with me. -- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who agreed to play 12-minute quarters in the second half against FCS foe South Carolina State, after taking a 45-0 lead at the halfStats that matter1. $2,175,000: Amount of money that North Dakota State has been paid by the six FBS opponents it has defeated since 2010.2. 82: Oregons streak of 82 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass, an NCAA record, ended in its loss at Nebraska. The last time the Ducks didnt throw a touchdown pass was in a 26-17 loss to Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl.3. 6: Auburns 29-16 loss to Texas A&M was its sixth consecutive defeat in an SEC home game. The Tigers havent beaten an SEC foe at home since knocking off South Carolina 42-35 on Oct. 25, 2014.4. 14: Since 2005, Nebraska coach Mike Riley has 14 victories over ranked opponents while his own team was unranked, the most by any FBS head coach during that span.
