Torrance, Ca-  El Segundo’s dynamic duo in quarterback Jason Kehl and wide receiver Shahman Moore proved to be too much for Torrance to handle in Friday nights non-league match up.

 
After placing 62 points in last weeks win over Bishop Montgomery, the Eagles had no issue once again reaching the end zone on their way to a 42-7 victory over the Tartars.
 
Torrance (0-4) fell behind early, trailing 14-0 at end the first quarter allowing a 28-yard touchdown hook up between Moore and Kehl. On their next possession, Kehl would sneak it in himself from the 1-yard line for the score.

The Tartars had very little going offensively all night not getting on the board till the final minute of the first half on an 88-yard catch and run by freshman Eric Suarez.

 
“We’re still very young and very inexperienced at the line, but we aren’t rookies anymore. This is game four”. Said Torrance head coach Rock Hollis.
 
A higher dosage of Torrance running back Jeremiah Aiono might have done some good for the Tartars in the first half. He had 42-yards on just 8 carries.
 
The Eagles didn’t take long after the halftime break to put the game out of reach. A six-play drive capped by 53-yard catch gave El Segundo a 28-7 lead and Moore’s third touchdown of the night.
 
The senior Moore finished the night with 7 catches for 155 yards and 3 touchdowns.
 
“I was comfortable, coach told me to come out and make plays,” said Moore. “We had a hard time running the ball tonight so I’m glad I was able to step up for my team.”
 
Tyler Maseuli was the lone spark plug for Torrance totaling 4 tackles for a loss with one sack and 4 catches for 38 yards.

Torrance quarterback Ryan Carroll threw for 164 yards on 11-27 passing and 3 interceptions, the last of which was returned for a touchdown with under 3 minutes.  Aoino ended with 82 yards rushing on 18 carries.
 
El Segundo (4-0) are still undefeated and have beaten the Tartars four times in the past five years.
 
Kehl had 294 yards through the air on 15 of 22 passing with a total of 4 touchdowns and no interceptions.
 
Torrance hopes to put this loss behind as they are still in search for their first victory.

OLE MISS IS AutoNation NATIONAL TEAM OF THE WEEK
Rebels win in Tuscaloosa for first time since 1988

 DALLAS (FWAA) – The Ole Miss Rebels beat Alabama on its home field for the first time since 1988, forcing five turnovers that led to 24 points in a thrilling 43-37 win in Tuscaloosa. Beating Alabama in consecutive years for the first time in the 60-game series earned the Rebels (3-0) the AutoNation National Team of the Week honor for games of the weekend of Sept. 19.

Junior quarterback Chad Kelly threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 21 yards and another score in handing Alabama its first home loss in three seasons. Senior wide receiver Cody Core caught four passes for a career-high 123 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that put the Rebels ahead by 14 points.

“Oh man, what a game,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. “It was definitely a four-quarter battle. We thought we had it put away a couple of times, and they just wouldn’t go away. The great thing about it is we can improve so much from this. Hopefully, we’ll take all the positives from it and be excited about the win, but look at everything that we didn’t do properly and get better for next week.”

This was the Rebels’ second straight win over a top-five team. Ole Miss beat No. 4 Mississippi State 31-17 last year. Ole Miss also scored at least 43 points for a third consecutive game, the first time that has happened in school history. The Rebels were perfect in the red zone (4-for-4, 2 touchdowns, 2 field goals) and remain perfect on the season at 15-for-15 (12 touchdowns, three field goals). Kelly has now accounted for 12 total touchdowns this season.

Other AutoNation National Team of the Week nominees for the weekend of Sept. 19 included:

Stanford (2-1): The Cardinal overcame an 11-point second-quarter deficit and outscored USC 31-10 the rest of the way, topping the 6th-ranked Trojans 41-31 in Los Angeles.

Long Beach, CA – Today was game two of the WNBA Western Conference Semifinals between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Minnesota Lynx, where the Sparks were able to pull off a warrior’s victory (Sparks 81 Lynx 71).

The Sparks went into today’s battle in a do or die position having lost the first game at the Target Center in Minnesota on Friday (September 18th).  Looking at today’s game it was obvious the Sparks studied footage from Friday’s game where Maya Moore clearly owned the court putting up a hardy 33 points (a career high) and Seimone Augustus with a solid 17 points. Sparks Head Coach Brian Agler also brought to his team’s attention that even though they (the Sparks) had four players in the double digits that those efforts were all in vain if they allow the Lynx’s 23 points off of turnovers.

The Sparks answered the call to battle with zero hesitation.  The Sparks looked energetic and assertive. The Sparks had at one point a 22 point lead over the Lynx. The Lynx attempted to make a run in the 3rd  quarter and the Sparks looked like they were about to throw in the towel but unfortunately for the Lynx it was a false alarm. The Sparks were able to come out of the timeout with the right strategy to shut down the Lynx on those chance opportunities. During the game it was noted that the Lynx were not prepared for Ana Dabovic ( 19 points)  to come off of the bench shooting nothing but fire.  The Lynx’s Moore was still able to get 27 points in but with the Sparks blocking like they were antiaircraft missiles it wouldn’t be enough on this here night.

The Sparks had four players in double digits (Candace Parker 25, Jantel Lavender 11, Alana Beard 11, and Ana Dabovic 19). This battle was not without its casualties.  Nneka Ogwumike took a hard foul in the 3rd resulting in a strained neck. It is not know if she will be healed and back on the court for game 3. Candice was quick to credit this win to great teamwork, focus and playing the last minute like it is the first.

Tonight’s victory gives both teams a win a piece.  The war will be picked back up in Minnesota on Tuesday September 22, with the winner advancing to the next round. Both of these teams have a war chest full of talent so it’s going to come down which team wants it more.

UCLA Interception Prevents BYU Hail Mary

Pasadena, Ca – It’s late in the game, the Bruins are down by 6 points, and your star running back Paul Perkins is winded, so you insert Nate Starks into the back field. This allowed for a fresh Starks to be on field and not let BYU substitute fresh tacklers if Perkins needed a breather. It only took the Bruins 2:13 and 7 plays to go 80 yards capping the drive with a Starks 3 yard touchdown to tied game 23-23, before Ka’imi Fairbairn nailed the extra point for the lead.

The #10 ranked Bruins overcame a sub par performance to beat the #19 ranked BYU Cougars 24-23. Even though the Cougars had the ball and time on the clock to try a Hail Mary  for the third game in row, it just didn’t have the story book ending. On 4th & 7, with 58 seconds to go on the UCLA 42 yard line, linebacker Myles Jack came down with the interception to secure the one point victory.

Before that last throw BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum completed 30/47 passes for 244 yards to lead all passers in the game. Mangum, the 22 year old freshman smart play was almost enough for a win.

The UCLA game MVP and work horse was running back Perkins who carried the ball 26 times for 219 yards and a touchdown. Coach Mora said of Perkins, “He is just an incredible football player.” The last two games have been breakout games for Perkins the team quiet leader. This ground game helped the Bruins freshman quarterback Josh Rosen, who threw three first half interceptions.  It just wasn’t Rosen’s, night forcing throws and throwing back across the field late, which is huge no-no. “A game like this will teach Rosen a lot,” said Mora who spoke on his quarterback performance of 11/23 passing for 106 yards.

The Bruin defense stepped up big after bending but not breaking. UCLA was forced to insert linebacker Isaako Savaiinaea who finished with a game high 14 tackles and 1.5 sacks. This great performance came due to starter Kenny Young being flagged and ejected for the remainder of the game for targeting during BYU first offensives series.

These Bruins found a way to win and now are 3-0 going into next week as they prepare for Arizona in Tucson. This week expect practice to be turned up as they play their first Pac-12 team this year. The Wildcats were on fire tonight in their game, scoring 77 points on Northern Arizona University.

Los Angeles, Ca – The Pac-12 conference shows you why you need to be ready to play week in and week out. Stanford came in to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum still trying to find their identity. One thing that worked for Stanford coach David Shaw was a big dose of Kevin Hogan the 5th year Senior, 4 year starter who carved up the USC defense for 279 yards with two touchdowns. His leadership showed through in this battle verses a well-coached team.

Both teams in this tight battle, during which Stanford notched a 41-31 victory over USC, required each coach to adjust their game plans to keep their defenses off the field. That battle was won by Stanford having the ball for an additional 12:40 minutes.  Some of this time was grinned out by running back Christian McCaffrey who lead his team with 26 carries 120 yards rushing, 249 all purpose yards. Remound Wright complemented McCaffrey scoring 3 touchdowns, with 41 yards rushing.

Trojans quarterback Cody Kessler had good day with the time his offense was on the field throwing for 272 yards and 3 touchdowns. Just think if in the second half if Kessler had few more possession would it be a different outcome.  Kessler’s favorite target -JuJu Smith-Schuster- who just continued to make sure the fans know his name.  Smith-Schuster caught 8 passes for 153 yards to lead his team in receiving for the third week in row.

This game was a big win for Stanford in getting back on track. Coach Shaw said however, “The guys were celebrating after the game, but I reminded them we don’t get a trophy for this one. It’s a regular season game against a conference opponent that we won on the road. That’s great. ” Even Hogan was grounded with this victory, “You want to go 1-0 each week and [it’s] great to start Pac-12 play 1-0.”

The Trojans will have an opportunity to travel to Tempe and face Arizona State next week who is coming off a 34-10 victory over New Mexico Friday night. Stanford will have another test traveling to play Oregon State on a short week, on Friday night.

Harbor City- Serra quarterback Khalil Tate rushed for six touchdowns, including a four-yard run up the middle in overtime, to give the Cavaliers a 41-40 victory over Narbonne on Friday.

Narbonne cut the Cavaliers lead, 41-40,  in overtime on a Roman Ale six-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Byrd. The Gauchos went for the win but fumbled the snap and the two-point conversion failed.

Tate, an Arizona commit, rushed for 295 yards and added 195 yards passing.

“The whole week, coach told us it would be a close game,” Tate said. “We just have to be better than them and that’s what we did.”

Gauchos quarterback Roman Ale hit wide receicer Devaughn Cooper in stride for a 54-yard touchdown to give Narbonne an early 6-0 lead after a missed extra point. Tate answers with a 51-yard dash to the end zone, for a 7-6 Serra lead.

Tate rushed for 220 yards in the first half, including four touchdowns, to give the Gauchos a 27-19 halftime lead.

Serra Coach Scott Altenberg said Tate refused to come out after battling cramps in the fourth quarter.

“I couldn’t take him out because he wouldn’t let me,” Altenberg said. “He willed himself on one leg. Tonight he was the iceman.”
