PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State coach Mike Leach is famous for his Air Raid passing offenses.Turns out the Cougars have a ground game too.Washington State rushed for 280 yards and six touchdowns to beat Oregon 51-33 on Saturday, sending the Ducks to their third consecutive loss.Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and James Williams each ran for two touchdowns for Washington State (2-2, 1-0 Pac-12), which was coming off a bye week. Washington State defeated Oregon in double overtime last year, a game that sparked the Cougars run to a 9-4 record.I dont think anybody expected six touchdowns out of us, Morrow said. Its great.I dont think tonight was our full potential, Wicks said. Youll see a way better running team.Leach said the passing of Luke Falk, who threw for 371 yards, helped set up the ground attack.The biggest thing was the passing was real effective, Leach said. We got them off balance with the pass.Oregon (2-3, 0-2) has lost three straight games and held a team meeting earlier in the week to seek a turnaround.Royce Freeman, who missed the last game with a leg injury, ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns for Oregon.We didnt have any big plays of any kind tonight, said Oregon coach Mark Helfrich. Both sides put a ton of pressure on each other at the wrong times; the offense was not answering, the defense was not answering.Sticking together is paramount, and we will, Helfrich said.Washington State piled up 651 yards of total offense, to 416 total yards for Oregon.Falk completed 36 of 48 passes with one touchdown.Almost every play they called was a pass and they checked to a run, Helfrich said. That balance was very difficult for us to stop.Oregons Dakota Prukop completed 14 of 22 passes for 132 yards.Washington State came in averaging 121 rushing yards per game.Washington State opened the scoring with Falk hitting Gabe Marks on a 7-yard touchdown pass.Oregon replied with an 11-yard touchdown run by Freeman to tie the score at 7-7.Washington State marched 75 yards on its next drive, with Wicks running four yards for the touchdown and a 14-7 lead.Freeman bulled over from the 1 to tie the score at 14-14 midway through the second quarter.Washington State went 80 yards in seven plays on its next series, including a 40-yard bomb from Falk to Kyle Sweet. Morrow ran the final 10 yards for a touchdown and a 21-14 lead.Oregon went three-and-out and Washington State got the ball near midfield. Wicks scored again, this time on a 2-yard run, for a 28-14 lead at halftime.Washington State opened the second half by marching to the Oregon 5, but Erik Powells 22-yard field goal attempt was blocked. He has missed all four of his field goal attempts this season.Oregon immediately gave the ball back, when Dwayne Stanford fumbled after a reception and WSUs Robert Taylor recovered. He returned the ball to the Oregon 26. But Washington State turned the ball over on downs when Falks pass to Sweet in the end zone fell incomplete.Prukop was then sacked in the end zone by Hercules Mataafa for a safety and WSU led 30-14.After a WSU punt, Freeman ran 75 yards for his third touchdown to cut Oregons deficit to 30-20 late in the third. Oregons conversion pass failed.The Cougars replied with a 75-yard drive that ended with Morrows 14-yard touchdown run for a 37-20 lead.Williams added a 38-yard touchdown burst midway through the fourth that gave Washington State a 44-20 lead.Charles Nelson returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to cut WSUs lead to 44-26.Williams added a 3-yard touchdown run.THE TAKEAWAYOregon: The Ducks lead the all-time series 47-40-7, but are clearly not as formidable as in recent years. Their defense looks suspect.Washington State: The Air Raid offense also has a ground attack this year. The Cougars appear to be rebounding from an 0-2 start, and have topped 50 points for two consecutive games. WSU, which beat the Ducks 45-38 in double overtime last season, notched consecutive wins over Oregon for the first time since 2002 and 2003.UP NEXTOregon hosts No. 10 WashingtonWashington State plays at No. 7 Stanford, which lost big at Washington on Friday.

Cheap Custom Jerseys Store . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. http://www.customjerseyschina.com/ .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start.

Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. The $300,000 Zenyatta Stakes, named after the 2016 Hall of Fame inductee who won her first 19 races, features a rematch of the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes in which champion Stellar Wind edged three-time champ Beholder.On paper, the top two from the Clement Hirsch look like the best two horses in the five-horse field ... and not by a little bit.So, devising a betting strategy for this race really comes down to whether you think Stellar Wind (#5) has improved enough as a 4-year-old that she is now the better racehorse, or you believe Beholder (#2) was not at her best in the Hirsch and will gain a measure of revenge on Saturday in the Zenyatta Stakes.As much as I respect Stellar Wind, I fall into the second category. Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella is a master at preparing racehorses for a target. He was always pointing toward the TVG Pacific Classic with Beholder and a shot at a repeat win in Del Mars signature race. For that reason, I dont think he had Beholder fully cranked up for the Hirsch, preferring to have her run her best race in the Pacific Classic.Beholder finished second to California Chrome in the Pacific Classic, beaten by five lengths, but posted her best Equibase Speed Figure and Beyer Speed Figure in that race since she won it a year before by 8 ? lengths. With six weeks rest between the Pacific Classic and the Zenyatta, I exxpect shell still be on top of her game and be extraordinarily tough to beat.ddddddddddddStellar Wind has not raced since the Hirsch, but throughout her career shes been especially effective when given plenty of rest between races. I expect her to run well, too, but it just feels like Beholder at her best deserves the edge in this race.I feel pretty confident that Beholder and Stellar Wind will finish first and second in some order, so thats how Id suggest betting the race. Use Beholder over Stellar Wind in a straight exacta (by all means, flip the runners if you prefer Stellar Wind), and try to pick which of the three remaining runners has the best shot for third. For me, thats the key to betting the race.Of the remaining three entrants, Vale Dori (#3) offers the most upside, but Taras Tango (#4) offers the most consistency. Im going to take a shot on Vale Dori for third because she has a little more early speed on a track that plays well for horses with a bit of zip, and the race is only 1-1/16 miles.Betting Strategies on a $20 BudgetStrategy A $20 exacta -- Beholder over Stellar Wind ($20)Strategy B $20 trifecta -- Beholder over Stellar Wind over Vale Dori ($20)For more stories like this check out Americas Best Racing.
