Neuigkeiten rund um das Forum » two overs later, caught by Hayley Mathew

USC began this season overrated, just as it began the past six seasons overrated. The effect of the NCAA scholarship penalties handed down in 2010 is just now ending. And yet we continue to fall for the hype.It has everything to do with Trojan tradition and how much all of us bought into what Pete Carroll sold so well for nine seasons. He has been gone for seven years, and the two decades before he arrived werent so hot, either.We spend a lot more time talking about the Trojans than their play has warranted. With that, the first three items in this column mention USC. Fight On?1.?Wisconsin?and USC?benched their veteran quarterbacks this week for redshirt freshmen backups, and Im not surprised at all. For one thing, both the Badgers Alex Hornibrook and the Trojans Sam Darnold provided a spark off the bench in the first three games. More important, coaches are conservative by nature. They are going to start with experience. It struck me that in the case of both Wisconsin fifth-year senior Bart Houston and USC fourth-year junior Max Browne, neither had been able to win playing time before this year for a reason. I say that in full hypocrisy as someone who decries quarterbacks transferring the minute they dont get to play.2.?Nebraska?head coach Mike Riley tossed off a comment Monday that he coached against?Northwestern, the No. 20 Huskers opponent Saturday, in the Rose Bowl. He didnt just coach in that game 21 seasons ago. USC coach John Robinson said Riley, his offensive coordinator, made the difference in the No. 17 Trojans 41-32 upset of No. 3 Northwestern. In Cardinal and Gold, the recently published oral history of USC football written by my ESPN colleague Steve Delsohn, Robinson said Riley came up with the idea of going shotgun and no-huddle against Northwestern. That was one of the better coaching efforts that I remember anyone on my staff making, Robinson said.3. Last week, USC head coach Clay Helton said?Stanford?is the model for his program. This week, the?UCLA?that welcomes the No. 7 Cardinal into the Rose Bowl (ABC, 8 p.m. ET) looks very much like Stanford in one important way. The Bruins average possession time in the fourth quarter in their three games?this?season is nearly ten-and-a-half minutes. Everything in Stanfords game plan points toward wearing down teams so that they are easy pickings in the fourth quarter. Against the Trojans, the Cardinal ran the ball 15 times and threw one pass, holding the ball for 9:36 in the last quarter of the 27-10 victory. One other item that makes the fourth quarter relevant: Stanford has won eight straight over UCLA.4. It would be fitting for No. 14?Tennessees?long climb back toward national prominence to include a victory over No. 19?Florida, whom the Vols welcome to Knoxville on Saturday. The Gators have won 24 of the past 30 games in this SEC East rivalry, including the past 11. While you may hear over?and?over that Florida won the past two games by one point each, eight of the other nine victories came by at least two-score margins. If Tennessee can exorcise these demons, that will bode well for No. 1 Alabamas visit three weeks later. The Crimson Tide have won nine straight over the Vols.5.?Oklahoma?freshman quarterback?Austin Kendall?called the Ohio State defense basic, and after the Buckeyes thrashed the Sooners 45-24, Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops called Kendalls comment ridiculous. No, whats ridiculous is Stoops using Kendalls mistake as an excuse to?withhold?younger players from contact with the media in the future. Im sure Kendall is mortified, and Im sure he wont do it again. And Im sure his teammates understand that. Teach the young guys what to do and move on. What does a media ban teach them?6. The father of?Iowa?junior linebacker Ben Niemann will see him play Saturday for the only time this season. The Hawkeyes play at?Rutgers, where Jay Niemann is the defensive coordinator. This is the only regular-season game Jay Niemann will see Iowa play because Rutgers and Iowa both?have Oct. 29 as their open date. On Tuesday, Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz said he still felt uncomfortable about luring away Ben from playing for his dad, who was on the Northern Illinois staff at the time. I felt awful, Ferentz said. I mean, it was a really painful conversation in some ways, just because I know as a coach how special it is to have a son on the team. Ferentzs three sons played for him at Iowa; Brian Ferentz coaches the Hawkeye offensive line.7. Of course its more complicated than this, but I cant remember an offense as dependent on a dual-threat quarterback as Gus Malzahns spread at?Auburn. When Malzahn ran the offense in the 2010 national championship season, Cam Newton led the Tigers to 499 yards and 41 points per?game. The next season, without Newton, production fell to 338 and 25.7, respectively. When Malzahn came back as head coach and had Nick Marshall running his offense for two seasons, Auburn averaged 493 yards and 37.5 points per game. Since the beginning of last season, those numbers have fallen to 386 and 27.3, respectively. Not to mention 8-8 overall, 2-7 in the SEC and 1-5 vs. ranked opponents. Jose Quintana Jersey .

LOUIS -- St. West Indies Women 148 (Taylor 56, Hartley 4-31) beat England Women 110 (Sciver 27, Dottin 4-19, Fletcher 3-20) by 38 runsScorecard West Indies produced an inspired defense of a target of 149 to secure a 38-run win over England, leveling the five-match series 1-1 on Monday in Jamaica.The hosts emulated Englands effort in the first ODI in another low-scoring thriller as captain Stafanie Taylor top-scored with 56 before she was the seventh wicket to fall, caught by Laura Marsh off Katherine Brunt in the 43rd over. Brunt had struck in her previous over as well to claim Stacy-Ann King stumped by Amy Jones standing up to Brunts medium pace as she ended with figures of 2 for 30 in nine overs.Alex Hartley bookended Brunts scalps with 4 for 31 in 10 overs as the left-arm spinner ripped through the West Indies middle order. Anisa Mohammed was the last wicket in that sequence, caught by Tammy Beaumont to make it 129 for 8 in the 44th but Afy Fletcher made a crucial 14 before being run out off the final ball of the innings by Brunt to ensure West Indies batted through their overs.Fletcher then played an even bigger role with the ball to spark an incredible collapse by England, falling from 93 for 3 in the 35th to be all out sevenn overs over having added just 17 more runs.dddddddddddd Fletcher had England captain Heather Knight caught for 26 to break a key 37-run stand with Nat Sciver, then accounted for Sciver two overs later, caught by Hayley Mathews for 27 to make it 107 for 5. Danni Wyatt, who was Player of the Match in the first ODI after top-scoring with 44, was trapped leg before for 7 by Fletcher in the 39th as the wheels started to fall off Englands chase.After Fletcher burrowed through Englands middle order, Deandra Dottin wiped out the tail, taking the last four wickets for just one run. The allrounder bowled a triple-wicket maiden in the 40th to leave England shellshocked. Brunt was out leg before off the first ball of the over, Marsh bowled and Sophie Ecclestone caught behind off the last two balls to put Dottin on a hat-trick and West Indies a wicket away from victory. Four balls into the 42nd, Dottin won her second lbw decision, Jones this time, to end the game.The two sides now shift to Sabina Park for the final three ODIs in the series which will count towards the ICC Womens Championship standings.
