Cheap NCAA Jerseys Football .His teammates feel the same way, as a goal from Crosby in his first appearance of the season was all the Penguins needed to overcome a slow startCrosby jump-started a comeback as the Pittsburgh Penguins rallied from an early two-goal deficit to beat the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Tuesday night.We started off behind the 8-ball there getting down, but we stayed in it and had a big second half, Crosby said.Crosby, who scored on the power play, missed the teams first six games with a concussion.Carl Hagelin and Eric Fehr also scored for the Penguins, who extended a seven-game unbeaten streak against the Panthers.Marc-Andre Fleury, who has started the first seven games of the season for Pittsburgh, stopped 20 shots. Matt Murray, who backstopped the Penguins to a Stanley Cup in June, served as the backup to Fleury after missing the first six games with a broken hand.Reilly Smith scored a power-play goal and Mark Pysyk also scored for the Panthers, who have lost 11 of 12 against the Penguins in Pittsburgh.James Reimer made 19 saves in his second start of the season.Panthers F Jaromir Jagr returned to Pittsburgh where he won two Stanley Cups and five scoring titles, totaling 1,079 points in 806 games from 1990-01.The Penguins honored Jagr, the No. 5 pick in the 1990 NHL draft, during Tuesdays morning skate with a commemorative plaque made out of material from the Civic Arena roof. The 44-year-old Jagr, who is in his 23rd NHL season, ranks third all-time in NHL history in goals and points.For the most part, it was a good game, especially the first two periods, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. I thought we played hard and played really well, but then we let it get away from us.Crosby cut the Panthers lead to 2-1 in the second period. Crosby, who was wide open in the slot, had to reach for a pass from Evgeni Malkin, but recovered to whip a shot from the slot over Reimers shoulder.I had some time, so you want to make sure you put that one in when you have that much time, Crosby said.Hagelin tied it in the third when he sent a shot underneath Reimers arm during a 2-on-1.Fehr put the Penguins in front for good when he one-timed a pass from Tom Kuhnhackl between Reimers legs.Crosbys goal was the catalyst.Crosby, the two-time MVP and reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner, hadnt played since sustaining a concussion in practice earlier this month.Crosby participated in a full-contact practice Monday for the first time since suffering his third concussion in six years. And while Crosby called his participation in practice a major milestone in his recovery, he still feels theres more to improve upon as he works his way back.Ive been skating on my own, so its tough to get in any practices or game situations, Crosby said. I kind of expect that, but I feel like things kind of slowed down as the game went on.Despite the concussion, he forced his way into the action Tuesday when he recorded a hit on the first shift of the game.When you miss that much time, you just try to get involved early, Crosby said.Crosby described himself Tuesday morning as a game-time decision, but coach Mike Sullivan said the Penguins captain would likely make his season debut barring a setback after participating in the game-day skate.Sullivan was happy with the results.For me, he didnt miss a beat, Sullivan said. We got a huge boost from his goal. Were grateful we got him back in the lineup and were a better team when hes in there.Crosby, who captained Team Canada to a World Cup of Hockey championship last month, missed the better part of two seasons after sustaining a concussion in January 2011. He stressed he didnt panic when doctors told him of the latest diagnosis.The Penguins, meanwhile, went 3-2-1 with Crosby out of the lineup. He hopes its the last one he has to miss.Im just happy to be back, playing my first game, Crosby said.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Mitch Wishnowsky had pushed No. 4 Washington in a back-and-forth showdown with No. 17 Utah.

I somehow slipped out of that. I was a little afraid because I lost about five yards to begin with. Once I got around that, my blockers did a good job setting up open space and that was it.That guy was a good punter. The best Ive seen. The ball would just hang in the air forever and it was hard to judge where the ball was really going, but his leg paid off for us in the end.After Utah tied it at 24 with 9:07 left, Washington (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) pinned the Utes on their own 1 on quarterback Jake Brownings pooch punt. The Utes (7-2, 4-2) went three-and-out and punted to Pettis, who ran parallel toward the far sideline, broke a tackle and outran everyone else. It was Pettis second punt return touchdown of the year and the first Utah has allowed since 2009.Browning threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns, and Myles Gaskin ran for 151 and a touchdown.It was awesome for Dante to get that return at the end because thats a heck of a punter, Petersen said. Hes a weapon. We could get nothing. He just kept driving us back, driving us back. .

This is how it goes, sometimes you have to grind out games in the fourth quarter.Fans may have gotten a preview of the Pac-12 championship game as the Huskies continue to hold the top spot in the North Division.

The Utes were on the ropes, trailing 14-0 in the second quarter, when safety Chase Hansen read Brownings eyes, jumped a deep route and returned the interception 30 yards to set up Joe Williams 2-yard touchdown run. It was Brownings first interception since Sept. 24. Andy Phillips kicked a field goal as time expired in the second quarter.Did they win on that, I dont know, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said about the punt return. Thats a great play by them, but if we punt it and they milk the clock down and kick a field goal, maybe that gave us our best chance to win -- just get the ball back immediately. ... You never know how things are going to play out.That punt wasnt bad. We missed a tackle or two. ... We had really controlled the field position with Mitch and the punting game up until that last punt.THE TAKEAWAYWASHINGTON: The Huskies have a clear path to the Pac-12 championship game and a possible College Football Playoff berth.
