TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Even Nick Saban sometimes has to deliver an I told you so to his team, along with a few other choice words.No. 1 Alabamas slow-starting 31-3 victory over FCS team Chattanooga on Saturday night was one of those times.Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards, but the Crimson Tide (11-0) spotted the Mocs (8-3) the games first three points and didnt really shake them until late in the third quarter. The defense had a more Bama-like performance, and hasnt given up a touchdown in 13 quarters.Sabans halftime message after a week of trying to get his players to take Chattanooga seriously: I said, `Do you believe me now?Id been telling them all week, Saban said. The rest wed better bleep out.Hurts was 15 of 21 for 136 yards a week after torching Mississippi State for 347 yards. He had a 47-yard TD pass to Calvin Ridley and added two 1-yarders to Gehrig Dieter, including one in the final minutes that made the score look a little closer to what most expected. Hurts set Alabamas single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback.Damien Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Ridley gained 94 yards on seven catches.Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart did not play in the game, and Saban indicated he was held out because sometimes we have players that have a violation of our standard of behavior.It was a milestone win for Saban, whose 41-5 record as the No. 1 team gives him the most of any coach. He had been tied with Ohio States Woody Hayes (40-4-1) and Florida States Bobby Bowden (40-5).This one came after a string of more impressive performances against Southeastern Conference opponents.I worried about it all week long, Saban said. When youre playing conference games every week and youre playing big games every week, its really hard to get guys not to have a letdown.Chattanoogas first-quarter field goal put Alabama behind for the first time since Kentucky scored the first three points on Oct. 1. The Mocs trailed just 14-3 until deep into the third quarter before Harris raced 25 yards for a touchdown.Alejandro Bennifield completed 16 of 21 passes for 106 yards for the Mocs, who sacked Hurts three times.I remember playing them here in 2013 and barely recording a first down, Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman said. They have got a really good football team, and they probably slept walked coming into this game. I am not trying to think that they were all jacked up to play Chattanooga, but our guys were pretty excited to play, and I am awful proud of them.Alabama wasnt exactly pushing the Mocs around early. Chattanooga stopped two runs from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled right on fourth down and hit Dieter in the end zone for a 14-3 lead.That was set up by a muffed punt at the 9.I guess we just underestimated them, Ridley said.THE TAKEAWAYChattanooga: Was almost even in total yards with Alabama midway through the third quarter. Didnt allow a sack to a defense that came in with the most in the nation.Alabama: It was probably the least impressive performance of the season, considering what `Bama is expected to do to FCS teams. Left tackle Cam Robinson and backup Korren Kirven, who started at right guard, both left late with shoulder injuries. Saban expects them to be able to play in the Iron Bowl.POLL IMPLICATIONSChattanooga: Came in ranked No. 11 in the FCS coaches poll and shouldnt be judged much for this one.Alabama: Still a lock to be No. 1 in the AP poll and playoff rankings, especially with teams behind Tide struggling.UP NEXTChattanooga: Finished the regular season and awaits its playoff fate.Alabama: Hosts Auburn in the Iron Bowl seeking a third straight win over its in-state rival.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Nike Basketball Canada Store .

Air Max 90 Black And White .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. PHILADELPHIA -- Geoff Collins stood at a podium and endeared himself to Temple and his new city with stories about childhood trips to Philadelphia Flyers games and lessons his dad handed down from John Chaney.The Georgia native painted himself so much as one of Phillys own, that its amazing Collins didnt confess he was named with two fs in honor of the Temple Tuff motto.Collins, a Florida defensive coordinator, didnt just desire to become a head coach, he insisted. He specifically wanted to coach Temple.And why not?The Owls have long shed their stained reputation as the worst football program in Division I and have become a winning team that competes for conference titles and plays in low-tiered bowl games.With a room full of students wearing Mayhem is Coming, T-shirts, Collins asked rhetorically: Whats next?The better question may be, what more can any coach accomplish at Temple?The Owls have peaked as a program heading into the Dec. 27 Military Bowl with back-to-back 10-win seasons and a spot in the AP Top 25. The Owls are the American Athletic Conference champions and coach Matt Rhule cashed in with a new job at Baylor in the Big 12. The Owls could run the table and still always be on the outside of playing in a major bowl game. Big picture, none of the teams outside of the Power Five are contending for playoff spots without a lot of unlikely circumstances.It has not done all it can do, Temple Athletic Director Pat Kraft said Wednesday. Weve got to keep building the momentum. We win conference championships. We want to be nationally ranked, consistently. There is so much in front of us.Collins, 45, is out to prove he can lead his own program as well as he orchestrated frenzied defenses at Florida and Mississippi State that earned him the Minister of Mayhem nickname.Hes charged with ensuring the Owls dont slip back into oblivion much like they were headed in the final season of Steve Addazios two-year stint. Rhule, a longtime Temple assistant, returned from a one-year stop in the NFL to save the program and lead the Owls to their greatest successes in an otherwise futile history.Rhule accomplished feats like an upset of Penn State, a nationally televised home game against Notre Dame that brought ESPNs GameDay to Philly and Temples first conference title since 1967 all without a campus stadium.ddddddddddddThe schools drive for a 35,000-seat stadium appears to be stalled. The $126 million plan has generated controversy since February, when Temples board of trustees approved a feasibility study, hired architects and tore down apartments on university land near campus.Its in the boards hands, Kraft said.Heres the best Collins can hope for at Temple: Just keep the program at the top of the AAC.Thats the goal, contend and make a bowl every year.It will be hard for Temple to year in and year out keep up with the Florida schools in the AAC East because of resources and recruiting. It would be remarkable if Collins can keep the program at this level.Rhule can offer Collins tips on how to build a winner on North Broad.Collins and Rhule forged a close friendship when they coached on the same staff at Division III Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Rhule constructed the championship formula at Temple and Collins said he doesnt want to stray too much from what worked.I want to meet with every single person in that building, Collins said.But he still has unfinished business before he starts his handshake tour.Collins is set to return to Gainesville, Florida and decide with coach Jim McElwain if hell stay for Floridas Jan. 2 Outback Bowl game against Iowa. Collins and his wife are putting the finishing touches on adopting a child.Collins held a private team meeting before his press conference -- where he refused to say he would pledge to recruits that hed stick around for all four seasons. But for a day, Temple wasnt worried where Collins will be in four years because he was with the Owls today.We found the right guy, Kraft said. Were going to keep this thing going.---More college football coverage: http://collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' ' |
