  • No. 24 Army wins AAC championship in first attempt as Daily runs for 4 TDs in 35-14 win over Tulane

    • AP
    • Dec 07, 2024

    WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) The first conference championship celebration in Army history was underway at midfield and Bryson Daily made clear it would be a brief one.

    The Black Knights are going after another trophy next week.

    “Beat Navy,” Daily said.

    He and the Black Knights ought to be a tough matchup for the Midshipmen – or just about anyone.

    Daily rushed for four touchdowns to tie the American Athletic Conference championship game record, and No. 24 Army completed a perfect first season in the league by beating Tulane 35-14 on Friday night.

    Kanye Udoh rushed for 158 yards, including a 72-yarder to set up a Daily TD, and a score. Daily added 126 yards on the ground for the Black Knights (11-1), who overwhelmed AAC opponents with their bruising, clock-eating rushing attack during their first around the league, then ran it to perfection in the championship game. Army won the first conference title in its 134-year history.

    The Black Knights have one game left in the regular season and it’s they one they want most: against Navy next Saturday for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

    “Now we’ve got the biggest game of the year coming up in eight days and we’re looking forward to that,” Army coach Jeff Monken said.

    Daily had runs of 5, 3, 4 and 7 yards. The 221-pound quarterback’s four rushing scores gave him 29 this season, breaking the AAC record of 25 set by Navy QB Will Worth in 2016. The conference player of the year has rushed for multiple TDs in 10 consecutive games.

    Except for an unsuccessful stint in Conference USA from 1998-2004, the Black Knights had played as an independent since their program began in 1890. Monken said this week that Army felt that it needed to be in a conference to have a pathway to college football’s expanded postseason.

    As cadets poured out of the stands to join players in a midfield celebration, the Black Knights must have been loving the decision.

    Darian Mensah threw two touchdown passes for Tulane (9-4), which was playing in its third straight AAC championship game and has lost the last two. The Green Wave had hopes of hosting before losing at home to Memphis on Thanksgiving night, ending their 17-game winning streak in conference games.

    They were even shakier Friday, botching field goal attempts after their first two drives, then fumbling a kickoff and having a pass intercepted in their own territory on the next two.

    Then Tulane could barely get its hands on the ball in the second half, when Army had TD drives of 11 and 16 plays.

    “When you start slow the way we did, missing two field goals early, you don’t do yourselves any favors,” Tulane coach Jon Sumrall said, “because once they get a lead, a couple scores, it’s really, really hard to overcome.”

    A temperature of 29 degrees to begin just the third December game in the 101-season history of Michie Stadium demanded a strong running attack, and nobody does it better than Army, which came in leading the country with 312.5 rushing yards per game.

    Army gained 335 on the ground and went 4 for 5 on fourth down.

    Daily didn’t even attempt a pass until the second half – when he kept a scoring drive alive with a 9-yard completion on fourth-and-5.

    The Green Wave were asked during the week about playing in the chilly conditions along the Hudson River, and the weather may have been a factor when Tulane attempted a field goal after a good first drive. Holder Brice Busch dropped the snap on the Army 27.

    Army promptly went 72 yards in 11 plays for Daily’s 5-yard score. Tulane got inside the Army 20 again on its second drive but had to settle for another field goal attempt. The Green Wave handled the snap this time but Patrick Durkin’s kick was wide right from 38 yards.

    Daily’s 4-yard run made it 21-0 before Tulane finally got on the board on Mensah’s 42-yard pass to Mario Williams with 44 seconds left in the half.

    But Army regained control with a 6 1/2-minute drive to open the third quarter.

    Tulane: The Green Wave will regret their untimely and uncharacteristically sloppy play to finish the regular season after never losing the turnover battle in any game until their last two.

    Army: The Black Knights’ opponents know what’s coming and only current No. 4 Notre Dame, which routed Army at Yankee Stadium last month, has been able to stop it.

    Tulane: The Green Wave fell out with the Memphis loss after going into the game ranked 18th and won’t get back in.

    Army: The Black Knights will extend to a ninth straight week in the AP Top 25, their longest stretch since being ranked each week of the 1958 season.

    Tulane: Awaits its bowl destination.

    Army: Faces Navy next Saturday in Landover-Maryland.

  • Dan Campbell’s 4th-down gambles help Lions beat Packers 34-31 and clinch playoffs

    • AP
    • Dec 06, 2024

    DETROIT (AP) Dan Campbell’s gambles paid off.

    Detroit went for it on fourth down for a fifth time to set up Jake Bates’ 35-yard field goal as time expired, Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes and the Lions clinched a playoff spot with a 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

    Campbell has been perhaps the NFL’s most aggressive coach since taking over what was a league laughingstock in 2021, but he turned it up a notch against the Packers with a short-handed defense that he wanted to keep off the field.

    “That was how I wanted to play that team with where we are at,” Campbell said.

    The NFC-best Lions (12-1) broke a franchise record with their 11th straight win – including two over the Packers (9-4) – to stay ahead of Minnesota (10-2) in the highly competitive NFC North.

    “This will be one of those you’ll never forget,” Campbell said.

    Campbell kept his offense on the field on a fourth-and-1 at the Green Bay 21 with 43 seconds left. David Montgomery ran for 7 yards, barely getting a handoff from Goff after the quarterback got his feet tangled up and was falling toward the turf.

    “It’s a bad feeling,” Goff said.

    The play ensured the Lions could try a field goal without giving Green Bay the ball back, and Bates hit his third-game winning kick this season.

    “I just felt like we needed to end it on offense,” Campbell said. “I did not want to give the ball back and I believed we could convert. I trust the O-line. I trust David.”

    Goff threw two touchdown passes on fourth-and-goal, one to Tim Patrick, who had two TD catches. He also threw an interception in the third quarter to set up one of Josh Jacobs’ career-high matching three TD runs.

    Goff found Jahymr Gibbs open in the end zone for a 2-yard pass on a fourth down with 11 seconds left in the first half to put Detroit ahead 17-7. Goff later connected with Patrick on a go-ahead, 1-yard touchdown pass midway through the fourth quarter.

    Green Bay took advantage of the only time Campbell’s aggressiveness didn’t pan out, denying Gibbs on a fourth-down run late in the third quarter from the Detroit 31.

    Jacobs scored for a third time on a 3-yard run on the ensuing drive.

    “The risk was there,” Campbell said.

    Brandon McManus made a 32-yard field goal with 3:38 left to pull the Packers into a 31-all tie in a game that had four lead changes earlier in the second half.

    “That’s exactly the kind of game we expected,” Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said. “It was tough and it went back and forth. There were just a couple plays that didn’t go our way.”

    The Lions’ final drive began with Goff’s 19-yard pass to Jameson Williams. He also connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown for 16 yards on the decisive possession. Goff finished 32 of 41 for 283 yards, and six Lions had at least five receptions, the first time that’s happened in NFL history, according to OptaSTATS.

    “They have great playmakers and they just get them the ball,” LaFleur said. “Jared Goff is an excellent quarterback and we gave him time to throw.”

    Jordan Love was 12 of 20 for 206 yards with a touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft early in the third quarter.

    “They have a really good offense, but so do we,” Love said. “I don’t think there was any extra pressure on us. We just got off to a slow start.”

    LaFleur lamented that someone holding the American flag during the national anthem ended up shouting at the Packers and had to be separated from them by officials before the game.

    “He was yelling at our players and giving the throat-slash gesture,” LaFleur said. “I’ve never seen anything like that. I would just like security to step in there and get him off the field.”

    Packers: S Evan Williams (concussion), S Javon Bullard (ankle), DE Lukas Van Ness (thumb) were hurt during the game. CB Jaire Alexander (knee), LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), CB Corey Ballentine (knee) and WR Romeo Doubs (concussion) were inactive.

    Lions: DL Alim McNeill left with a head injury after he was evaluated for a concussion and returned to play briefly. OT Taylor Decker (shoulder), DT DJ Reader (shoulder), DE Josh Paschal (knee) and DL Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) were inactive.

    Packers: At NFC West-leading Seattle in a Sunday night game on Dec. 15.

    Lions: Host AFC East-leading Buffalo on Dec. 15.

  • Shelstad scores career-high 24 points as No. 12 Oregon tops USC 68-60 in Big Ten debut for both

    • AP
    • Dec 05, 2024

    LOS ANGELES (AP) Jackson Shelstad scored 21 of his career-high 24 points after halftime and No. 12 Oregon beat USC 68-60 in the Big Ten Conference debut for both teams Wednesday night.

    Shelstad made 12 of 14 free throws and reserve Keeshawn Barthelemey added 18 points on 4-for-5 shooting from 3-point range.

    Oregon’s leading scorers, Nate Bittle and TJ Bamba, each had just five points. Bittle entered averaging 14.6 per game, and Bamba was averaging 13.

    Oregon (9-0, 1-0) shot 21 of 55 (38.2%) from the field, including 8 of 23 (34.8%) on 3s.

    Desmond Claude had 20 points for USC (5-4, 0-1), and Chibuzo Agbo added 18 while making all 10 of his foul shots.

    Oregon: After trailing for most of the game, the Ducks surged ahead late. Shelstad hit a 3-pointer with 4:10 remaining to break a 55-all tie and give Oregon its first lead since 2-0.

    USC: The starters did the lion’s share of the work as coach Eric Musselman used four players off the bench – one of whom played just one minute. The reserves contributed eight points, all by Kevin Patton, in 50 combined minutes.

    Bamba missed his first 11 shots before burying a corner 3 to trim Oregon’s deficit to 49-44 with eight minutes left. The Ducks took control with a 10-0 run aided by five USC turnovers down the stretch.

    Oregon outscored the Trojans 22-7 in the final 6 1/2 minutes.

    Oregon hosts UCLA on Sunday. USC plays at Washington on Saturday.

  • Walter Clayton scores 27 points, No. 13 Florida beats Virginia 87-69 in SEC/ACC Challenge

    GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Walter Clayton scored 27 points, Alex Condon added 19 points and eight rebounds and No. 13 Florida beat Virginia 87-69 in the SEC/ACC Challenge on Wednesday night to remain unbeaten.

    Clayton hit five 3-pointers, including a four-point play in the second half, as the Gators (9-0) matched their best start since the 2005-06 season. That one ended with a national championship. This one looks promising, especially considering Florida has won every game by at least 13 points.

    Turnovers had a lot to do with the latest victory. The Gators scored 20 points off 15 turnovers, forcing the Cavaliers (5-3) into mistake after mistake.

    Virginia was a 17 1/2-point underdog, according to BetMGM, and held tough early. But the Gators showed their talent and depth while erasing a nine-point deficit and pulling away in the second half.

    Alijah Martin chipped in 16 points for Florida, and Denzel Aberdeen added 12.

    Elijah Saunders led Virginia with 19 points. Isaac McKneely finished with 12 points, seven boards and five assists.

    Virginia: The Cavaliers have lost their three toughest games by double digits, including 64-42 to Tennessee and 80-55 to St. John’s.

    Florida: A day after expressing little concern about Virginia’s defensive prowess or McKneely – “I ain’t worried about him” – Clayton proved to be the best player on the court. He hit 10 of 19 shots.

    The Gators hit three 3-pointers to spark a 15-0 run that turned a six-point deficit into a nine-point lead in the first half. Aberdeen hit two shots from long range.

    Florida had nine steals, giving coach Todd Golden’s team 74 in nine games.

    Virginia opens ACC play at SMU on Saturday, and Florida plays Arizona State in the Holiday Hoopsgiving in Atlanta on Dec. 14.
