  导出博客文章CINCINNATI -- Greg Ward Jr. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . threw an interception in the end zone. Cincinnati responded by going down the field, getting a touchdown and grabbing the lead and the momentum.For the first time this season, No. 6 Houston was on the road and feeling the pressure. How would the Cougars respond?Ward ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and the Cougars fabulous defense returned a couple of interceptions for touchdowns as they pulled away to a 40-16 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday night.The fourth quarter exemplified a veteran team thats played in big games, coach Tom Herman said. They go down and score and we come back and take the lead.Nobody was under the spotlight more than Ward, who sat out a 42-0 victory over Lamar on Saturday because of a sore shoulder. He came through pregame warmups without an issue, and got treatment on the sideline between series.They were keeping my shoulder warm on the sideline, Ward said. It tends to get tight. I was thankful to be out there.The Cougars (3-0, 1-0 American Athletic) trailed 16-12 early in the fourth quarter before Ward and the defense took over.Ward dispelled any worries about his arm with a 39-yard touchdown pass on the Cougars second series. He was 24 of 36 for 326 yards with two interceptions, and he ran 26 times for 73 yards.We put in a defense just for him, some guys that were faster, Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville said. We did a good job in pass coverage and hed just pull it down and run. Thats hard to defend.Houstons defense took away any semblance of a running game from Cincinnati (2-1, 0-1) and accounted for 16 points on its own -- a safety and the two interception returns by Steven Taylor and Howard Wilson.The Cougars havent allowed any of their last five opponents to rush for 100 yards. Cincinnati managed only 30 yards rushing, putting too much pressure on redshirt sophomore Hayden Moore, whose two fourth-quarter interceptions allowed the Cougars to pull away.Moore had never faced a defense so good. He made an impact early with a 61-yard touchdown pass , but the lack of a running game was tough to overcome. Moore finished 21 of 37 for 275 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and three sacks.You cant beat any good team if you cant run the football, Tuberville said. They put all the pressure on our quarterback and receivers and they dictated the game to us.THE TAKEAWAYHOUSTON: Oh that defense. The Cougars didnt need to get a lot out of their offense -- and Ward wasnt at his best -- in order to win a tough league game on the road. Thats another good sign in a season that opened with a 33-23 win over Oklahoma.It was ugly for a long time, Herman said. I think well be OK if we can take care of the self-inflicted wounds.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats have been overly reliant on a pass-heavy offense the last two years. The defenses showing on Thursday was encouraging -- it simply wore down. The defense also looked solid during a 38-20 win at Purdue on Saturday, coming up with five interceptions.We got a little tired at the end, Tuberville said. The defense was out there forever.POLL IMPLICATIONSHOUSTON: The Cougars have their highest ranking since they were No. 3 in 1990. Any chance to move up? The top three teams in the poll -- Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State -- all play road games against ranked teams this week, while Michigan and Clemson are at home.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats got one vote in this weeks poll, and did nothing to suggest they deserve more.UP NEXTHOUSTON: The Cougars will be looking for another easy time at Texas State on Sept. 24. Last year, Ward led them to a 59-14 win by throwing for four touchdowns and running for two more as Houston piled up 689 yards.CINCINNATI: The Bearcats host Miami of Ohio on Sept. 24 for the Victory Bell. Theyve won 10 in a row over their local rival, although Moore had to overcome four fourth-quarter turnovers last year to pull out a 37-33 win in Oxford.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Stitched Jerseys From China . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. http://www.stitchedwholesalejerseys.com/ .com) - The Calgary Flames aim to bounce back from their first regulation home loss of the campaign on Friday night when they host a Detroit Red Wings club that they swept in three meetings a season ago. MINNEAPOLIS -- The lore of the Minnesota Vikings, with four losses in four Super Bowl appearances and five NFC championship game defeats since then, is marked by a long list of major letdowns.The latest jarring blow came just before the beginning of this long-anticipated regular season, when quarterback Teddy Bridgewaters left knee collapsed during a routine non-contact drill. The injury caused enough damage to keep him out for the rest of the year and put his 2017 season in question, too.The massive injury to Minnesotas popular leader was a devastating, emotional setback. Bridgewaters absence hasnt deterred the Vikings from thinking big, though. From coach Mike Zimmers inherent defiance to the bold trade made for Sam Bradford, the Vikings havent given up on their Super Bowl goal. Their window to win it all for the first time in franchise history is still open, albeit not as wide as a week ago.Were not going to stick our heads in the sand. Were going to figure out a way, Zimmer said. Everybody can count us out if they want, but I think thatd be the wrong thing to do.Zimmer, inspired by the lessons learned from his late father, a long-time high school coach, and mentored by former boss Bill Parcells, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has always thrived with an underdog mindset.He didnt get his chance to be an NFL head coach until age 57. As the Vikings stacked up victories on the way to the NFC North title last year, Zimmer frequently mentioned to the team and to the media the external skepticism surrounding their success, even if some of that was simply made up.So when asked after Bridgewater went down how the leadership void will be filled, Zimmer zoomed right past the accomplished veterans on the roster and wholly embraced the responsibility as his own.Im going to lead them, Zimmer said. Im going to make sure that theyre paying attention, doing things right. Anytime you have a tragedy or whatever you want to call it, theyre going to be looking to somebody for strength and wisdom and all these other things. Part of my job is, and Ive already started to do it, to talk to them about the things that I believe we have to do and how we need to move forward. Thats why they hired me.The pressure will be on Zimmer, as well as on running back Adrian Peterson and a deep, solid defense.Its very unfortunate to have the injjury happen, Peterson said. Nike NFL Jerseys China. It takes a team to win a championship, so were still chasing the same thing.Here are some key angles to know about the season for the Vikings:REPLACEMENT PLAN: The Vikings gave up a 2017 first-round draft pick, plus another selection in 2018 that could reach as high as the second round based on conditions, to get Bradford from Philadelphia. Clearly, the plan will be to start the 2010 first overall draft pick once hes up to speed with the offense. Shaun Hill, who backed up Bridgewater last year and has begun his 15th season in the league, is more likely to lead the huddle Sunday at Tennessee.THE FRONT FIVE: Some reasons the Vikings were so eager to watch Bridgewater play, and so confident in his continued development, were enhancements to an offensive line that leaked a lot in his first two years. Free agents Alex Boone and Andre Smith have taken over at left guard and right tackle. Joe Berger, who excelled while filling in for John Sullivan at center last season while the six-year starter recovered from a back injury, was good enough that Sullivan recently was let go. Brandon Fusco has returned to his original spot at right guard, and right tackle Matt Kalil has entered the final season of his contract.GROUND GAME: After leading the league in rushing in 2015 at age 30, Peterson also ought to benefit from better blocking in front of him. The Vikings have been planning to make versatile running back Jerick McKinnon more of an integral part of the offense, too.THE FRONT FOUR: The backbone of the team is a defensive line thats as stacked and deep as ever. The Vikings tied for seventh last year with 43 sacks, and theres the potential to land higher. Defensive end Everson Griffen, who posted 22+ sacks over the last two seasons, is poised for a big year.RAISING THE ROOF: After a couple of preseason tuneups, the Vikings will formally open U.S. Bank Stadium on Sept. 18 when they host the rival Green Bay Packers. The $1.1 billion venue was built on the same site as the old Metrodome.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
