Leicester held 0-0 by 10-man Bournemouth
We did 39 points in the first half (of the season) so in the second half we try to make 40 points. You can also follow it with our LIVE scores (THE BEST ONLINE), results and stats.
Patterson, one of the most superstitious fellows you’ll meet on any sideline, changed out of the black shirt he wore during that disgusting first half and slipped into a purple number.
Saudi execution risks fueling sectarian tensions
Many of those executed had links to al-Qaeda and played a role in a string of deadly bombings throughout Saudi Arabia since 2003. But Saturday’s execution of top cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr drew calls in Iraq for the Saudi embassy to remain shuttered.
“I didn’t take it as a 30-point lead or anything like that”, or running back Royce Freeman.
Tide takes fight out of Spartans
The point is this: Nobody has mastered stern and disciplinary football on the college level like Saban, and no one ever will. That quickly gave way, however, to an onslaught in which the Buckeyes amassed 537 yards in their 42-35 comeback triumph.
Kohlhausen looked shaky in a first half during which he completed only 9-of-19 pass attempts for 97 yards. I’m going to do my best to restore every Horned Frogs’ confidence in me. Still, it lends no explanation for how TCU senior walk-on backup quarterback Bram Kohlhausen somehow shook off an very bad first half only to return from the locker room wearing a red cape.
Doctson had 1,300-plus yards, almost 80 receptions, and 14 touchdowns in 2015 to easily make him one of the biggest receiving threats in the game.
The problems would continue for OR with two Starters out, it was noticeable with Vernon Adams not in the game. OR may be the hotter team with an upper hand, but the Ducks are not changing their preparation for TCU. The dual-threat quarterback from Dallas is second nationally with 381 total yards per game, but missed a game in November after awkwardly twisting his right ankle in a win over Kansas. The last month he’s been on fire, however, throwing for an average of 310.8 passing yards per game in his last six starts while tossing for 21 scores with just four interceptions.
The Horned Frogs found themselves down 31-0 at halftime after giving up an absurd 376 yards to an OR offense that looked completely unstoppable.
Sure, TCU got a break when OR senior quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. was knocked out of the game, and the Ducks’ wings were suddenly clipped.
Coming into the 2016 Alamo Bowl, TCU had to be depressed.
The Frogs would edge even closer when Jaden Oberkrom executed a field goal in the fourth quarter to make it a 31-20 game. Both teams scored a touchdown in the first overtime and then matched field goals in the second overtime. Kohlhausen would take the ball to the one yard like with a diving flip jump that was not Marcus Mariota like, but TCU would be at the 1 yard line of Oregon.
TCU wide receiver Jaelan Austin (15) catches a touchdown pass in front of OR cornerback Chris Seisay (12) during the second half of the Alamo Bowl NCAA college football game, Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016, in San Antonio. It lost hold of the tight grip it had on the game and gradually watched as the lead was trimmed drive-by-drive as a rejuvenated TCU offense exploded in the third and fourth quarter.
The Ducks capped their season-ending surge with a 52-42 home victory over Oregon State in the Civil War on November 27.
– With nine sacks, defensive end Josh Carraway had the most sacks by a TCU player since Devonte Fields had 10 in 2012.
Collins had touchdown runs of 22 yards and 13 yards in the first 17 minutes. OR would settle for a 41 yard field goal for a 41-38 lead. TCU won 47-41 in triple overtime.
The comeback also tied for the second-largest comeback in any game between two FBS teams, trailing only a rally from 35 down by Michigan State against Northwestern in 2006.
