Durham 421 for 9 (Jennings 129) drew with Hampshire 472 for 9 dec (Ervine 93, Adams 86, Smith 67) and 174 for 4Scorecard The arrival of rain in mid-afternoon confirmed the inevitable draw in the Specsavers County Championship match between Durham and Hampshire at Chester-le-Street.After resuming 60 ahead on nine without loss, the visitors opted for safety as Jimmy Adams took 171 balls to score 49. They were 174 for four, leading by 225, when rain ended play, leaving Hampshire still at the foot of division one.Hampshire coach Dale Benkenstein said: All the batsmen are looking in good touch and from my time here at Durham I know that to score 472 is pretty rare.It was also probably the best we have been in the field this season, although Tino was not at his best and losing Ryan McLaren didnt help. If we had had a hundred lead we might have had a chance of winning.For the last few games we have been doing the basics right and giving 100 per cent, which hasnt always been the case.Staying in division one is a massive priority but we dont produce bowlers and its the best bowling sides who tend to finish at the top.They were not so desperate for a win that they were prepared to take risks, scoring 85 in the morning session for the loss of two wickets.Graham Onions improved on his first innings efforts but had to be content with the wicket of Will Smith halfway through his one-hour testing spell.The acting captain fell for ten when he pushed forward and edged behind, but while Jimmy Adams contined to dig in Tom Alsop played fluently for 34.On 14 he edged Keaton Jennings fourth ball just wide of the slips, but it was a surprise that Jennings was on before Scott Borthwick.The leg-spinner had plenty of rough to bowl into outside the left-handers off stump and in his third over Alsop left one which turned sharply to bowl him.Hampshire were 200 ahead with seven wickets standing and 42 overs left when Adams edged a drive off Paul Coughlin for Ben Stokes to take the catch at slip.Michael Carberry made 55 before a shooter from Barry McCarthy bowled him shortly before the rain arrived. Bart Starr Super Bowl Jersey . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. JK Scott Super Bowl Jersey .

The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side.

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. Dean Lowry Super Bowl Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolinas offense finally opened things up this season. Freshman quarterback Jake Bentley was a big reason why.Bentley threw for two touchdowns and 201 yards Saturday in his first college game to lead the Gamecocks to a 34-28 victory over Massachusetts. The victory matched the Gamecocks total from their dysfunctional 2015 season and was the most points they had scored this fall.We just really opened up the playbook when Jake was back there, because we know he can throw it very well, said receiver Deebo Samuel, who had eight catches for 106 yards.South Carolina coach Will Muschamp was expecting to redshirt Bentley this season before the teams mounting offensive problems -- they entered dead last in points per game in the Football Bowl Subdivision -- left the first-year coach open to any solution.Bentley proved the right answer against the Minutemen (1-7). He led the Gamecocks (3-4) to touchdowns on their first two series, and then threw a pair of pretty fade passes for TD, the first from 16 yards out to K.C. Crosby and later a 24-yarder to Bryan Edwards to lead 27-7.When UMass cut things to 34-28 with less than 5 minutes left, Bentley accounted for 30 yards to help the Gamecocks run out the clock.Muschamp said he and quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper decided Bentley had improved enough from August until now to be a positive change for the teams attack. Bentley had waited for his shot behind senior Perry Orth and fellow freshman Brandon McIlwain, who had each started three games this season.At the end of the day, we felt like he had progressed very well, he said.Bentley was not available to the media per Muschamps rules against letting freshman do interviews.Running back David Williams ran for two 1-yard TDs for South Carolina, but said he was excited about Bentleys debut.Ive just been impressed since I met, his IQ, how comfortable he is, leading the Gamecocks, Williams said.Muschamp was frustrated with his defense, especially in the second half when the Minutemen rallied.It was an excited locker room because we won, he said. But its also a locker room tthat knows it made mistakes and corrections have to be made.ddddddddddddUMass did its share to help with three turnovers in the opening half, two which led to two South Carolina scores.Tight end Adam Breneman had two TD catches for Massachusetts, which fell to 0-3 against Southeastern Conference teams this fall.THE TAKEAWAYMASSACHUSETTS: UMass has been outscored 131-77 in its four games this season against teams from the Power 5 conferences.SOUTH CAROLINA: Its future -- and offensive recovery -- may have started with Bentley behind center. The freshman, wholl turn 19 next month, is sure to have some bumps ahead, maybe as soon as next weeks home game against No. 18 Tennessee. But there was little benefit keeping the strong-armed Bentley on the bench if he could spark up the offense this season.SOUTH CAROLINAS RUN GAMEAfter gaining only 30 yards in a 28-14 loss to Georgia two weeks ago, Gamecock runners put up 194 yards against the Minutemen. Freshman Rico Dowdle led the way with 87 yards and Williams had 69 yards.NEAR MISSESBreneman said UMass knows how close it has come in its games with the SEC this season -- losing 24-7 to Florida and 47-35 to Mississippi State before the South Carolina game.Is it impressive that weve played with three SEC teams so far and you look back on it and see that we couldve won all three of those games if we wouldve made one less mistake, Breneman said. At the same time, at some point, being close isnt good enough. I think thats the feeling in the locker room.UP NEXTMASSACHUSETTS: The Minutemen return home to play Football Championship Subdivision opponent Wagner. The game ends the UMass home season as it finishes with games at Troy, BYU and Hawaii.SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks go back to the Southeastern Conference grinder against No. 18 Tennessee. The Gamecocks have only won two SEC games the past two seasons and will face a difficult challenge against the Vols, who are in the thick of the Eastern Division chase. ' ' '
