whom he shaped Indias progress with a third-wicket

LANDOVER, Md. -- Dana Holgorsen could sense it on the sideline when West Virginia built a two-score lead early in the fourth quarter against BYU. The Mountaineers were feeling too good.I said we can get excited about being up 16 points if you want to but this thing aint over, Holgorsen said.He was right.Taysom Hill and BYU rallied, but Maurice Fleming ended the Cougars last threat with an interception near his own goal line and the Mountaineers hung on 35-32 on Saturday.Skyler Howard passed for 332 yards and Rasul Douglas returned an interception 54 yards for a score for West Virginia (3-0), which will head into Big 12 play unbeaten.Its encouraging to be able to address some of these things when youre 3-0 as opposed to losing a game like this and trying to address them after that, Holgorsen said.West Virginia grabbed a 35-19 lead with 11:27 left in the fourth when Howard hit Daikiel Shorts for a 9-yard score.We have to be one of those teams thats constantly on the gas pedal and we let up, West Virginia tackle Kyle Bosch said.The Cougars scored two touchdowns in less than four minutes to cut their deficit to three with 5:55 remaining. They got one last chance to put together a game-winning drive after a miscommunication between Howard and center Tyler Orlosky led to a West Virginia fumble near BYUs goal line.Hill drove BYU to the West Virginia 28, but his final pass was tipped away from a receiver by West Virginias Nana Kyeremeh and intercepted by Fleming to seal it.Weve been talking about that all week in practice, Fleming said. We get a lot of tipped balls. We just got to get our hands on them.BYU (1-3) has lost three straight by a total of seven points to Power Five teams after opening the season with a two-point win on a last-second field goal against Arizona.I just know we havent played our best game yet, BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. Im waiting for that to happen.THE TAKEAWAYBYU: Three interceptions stand out for Hill, especially the forced throw under pressure that turned into a pick-six, but this was his best performance of the season (241 yards passing, 101 rushing). He looked more like his pre-injury self when he leaped into and off of a couple of defenders during a third-quarter run. After two straight games where the offense struggled, there had been some fans clamoring for Tanner Mangum, the sophomore who filled in admirably when Hill was injured last year.Hill got banged up and went to the locker room briefly Saturday in the second half, but did not miss a play.West Virginia: The season started with some uncertainty as to what the future holds at WVU for coach Dana Holgorsen. A perfect start is a nice way to turn down the heat. And in whats looking like a wide-open Big 12, the Mountaineers are good enough offensively to at least be in the mix of contenders.MAKING A CASEBYU was one of 11 teams Big 12 officials met with earlier this month in Dallas as they consider whether to expand the 10-team league. The Cougars performance on the field against West Virginia is not likely to sway things. If nothing else, their fans did a nice job of showing off the schools national reach. The lower level of FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins, behind the BYU bench was well stocked with the white and blue of the Cougars -- despite being 2,000 miles away from their campus in Provo, Utah for the neutral site game.The Big 12 is all about offense and the Cougars did their best to keep up. Jamaal Williams had 169 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, but he had a key turnover, too. Williams lost a fumble that led to a West Virginia touchdown.I feel like we just beat ourselves, Williams said.UP NEXTBYU: On Friday night, the Cougars play a team from outside the Power Five for the first time but Toledo coming to Provo is no break. The Rockets are 3-0 and coming off an open date.West Virginia: The Mountaineers start Big 12 play with Kansas State on Oct. 1.---Follow Ralph D.

Cheap Adidas Maple Leafs Jerseys . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. India opener Shikhar Dhawan had gone eight Test innings without a 50-plus score, before his 84 in the first innings of the Antigua Test. He had been susceptible in the channel outside off, often reaching for the ball with his hands, on earlier tours to England and Australia. At the training camp in Bangalore, ahead of the departure to the Caribbean, Dhawan had focused on his feet movement and judgement against away-going deliveries outside off, with batting coach Sanjay Bangar placing a fourth stump just outside off.The workout seemed to have reaped immediate reward, with Dhawan showing restraint outside off and laying the platform for Indias 302 for 4 on the first day. He was tested by fast bowler Shannon Gabriel - who had M Vijay nicking behind with a prancing delivery - in a fiery first spell, but Dhawan survived by adhering to attrition over attack.I think opening is the toughest work and you need a big heart for it, Dhawan said. New wicket, new ball and they bowl with full energy and as an opener your technique should also be good because you have to leave a lot of balls and you need patience as well. Middle order needs it [patience] too but new ball has its own challenge. Vijay got a good ball, it was a very quick ball. I was luckier in that sense so Gabriel was bowling really well and with time you get that experience.Now I know better from the past about which balls to leave and that is from experience and it helps improve the game and my shot selection and it showed in the partnership with Pujara and Kohli.Dhawan felt India were in a good position, especially after sacrificiing a batsman or an allrounder to beef up their bowling, and hinted at the teams strategy of batting only once of a slowing surface.ddddddddddddWe are in a good position especially because we are playing with only five batsmen, Dhawan said. So we are in a good position and we will want to bat as long as possible tomorrow, that will also tire them out. Good thing is we have Virat set and batting.Dhawan lauded Virat Kohli, who scored his 12th Test century, with whom he shaped Indias progress with a third-wicket partnership of 105 in 27.1 overs.He has played a tremendous knock and scored a hundred and continued scoring, Dhawan said. Hopefully he scores big runs and gets a double-hundred after 150. It feels good to bat with him and we were rotating strike and scoring runs at a good pace. I feel that made a difference because we made the partnership in 120 balls or something. That is a good thing and it is always a pleasure to watch Virat, the way he times the ball.Dhawan also identified the importance of Cheteshwar Pujaras contribution in blunting a disciplined West Indies attack, although Pujara only contributed 16 off 67 balls, before lobbing a leading edge to point off legspinner Devendra Bishoo.My partnership with Pujara was also important because the ball was new at that time and it was important to leave the ball at that time, Dhawan said. The middle order got benefit of that because the ball was older and my partnership with Virat benefitted from that. ' ' '
