Wizards and an unknown team Friday in Atlanta and expects to make a decision this week

Pound the ground was a common theme around college football over the weekend. One running back recorded the most carries by anyone in 13 years, another went over 300 yards and a quarterback rushed for the most touchdowns by anyone at his position this season.Lets start with Texas DOnta Foreman. His 51 rushing attempts in a 24-21 overtime loss to Kansas were a school record and the most in the Bowl Subdivision since Michigans Chris Perry ran 51 times against Michigan State in 2003.Foreman finished with 250 yards, marking his fourth straight game of 250 or more and his 12th straight over 100. But he fumbled twice, with the second one at the Kansas 13 as Texas was trying to put away the game.Foreman built on his national rushing lead. Hes averaging 186.3 yards a game, 20 more than San Diego States Donnel Pumphrey, who was held to 78 yards by Wyoming.West Virginias Justin Crawford joined Foreman and Utahs Joe Williams as the only running backs to go over 300 yards in a game this season. Crawford had 331 on 24 carries in the 56-28 loss to Oklahoma . Like Foreman, Crawford also had a crucial fumble, losing the ball at the OU 4 with his team down 21-0 early in the second quarter.Iowa States Joel Lanning tied the school record with five rushing touchdowns in a 66-10 win over Texas Tech, the most TD runs by a quarterback since Navys Keenan Reynolds had the same number against East Carolina in September 2015.Other top rushing performances: Stanfords Christian McCaffrey broke a 90-yard run, longest in the nation Saturday, and finished with 284 on 31 carries against California; South Carolinas Rico Dowdle had 226 yards against Western Carolina; Florida States Dalvin Cook had 225 yards against Syracuse; and Missouris Damarea Crockett of Missouri had 225 against Tennessee.---Other notable statistical feats:SOMETHING IN THE AIRFreshman Dom Maggio of Wake Forest and Corey Bojorquez of New Mexico each popped 80-yard punts, tied for the third-longest in the nation.Maggios came in the third quarter against Clemson and beat his previous long of 67 yards. Bojorquezs boomer in the second quarter was 1 yard off the school record that has stood since 1958 and topped his previous best of 66 yards.LONG PLAYSFloridas Austin Appleby and Tyrie Cleveland connected for a 98-yard pass play that tied for the longest in the nation this season. Appleby hit Cleveland with a deep ball from his end zone, the freshman shook off a defensive back at about midfield and ran to the end zone in a game the Gators won 16-10 .The other long play Saturday came on a screen pass from Maryland freshman Max Bortenschlager to D.J. Moore, who took it 92 yards for the Terrapins only touchdown in a 28-7 loss to Nebraska.KICK RETURNST.J. Logans 100-yard kick return against the Citadel was the longest ever by a North Carolina player at the Tar Heels Kenan Stadium. Two visiting players, in 1936 and 2012, had 100-yarders at the stadium. For Logan, it was his second kick return for a touchdown this season and fourth in his career.South Carolinas Deebo Samuel also had a 100-yard kickoff return, against Western Carolina.MR. EFFICIENCYOregon States Marcus McMaryion was a model of efficiency in a 42-17 win over Arizona , completing 16 of 19 passes for 265 yards and five touchdowns. His pass efficiency rating of 288.211 was second-best in the nation this season behind Chad Littons incredible 367.225 for Marshall against Morgan State.Oregon State hadnt had a QB throw for five TDs since Sean Mannion in 2013. McMaryion had come into the game with only four TD passes for the season.SACK ATTACKHoustons 11 sacks against Louisville on Thursday were the second-most in program history and pushed the Cougars from 36th in the nation to ninth, with 36. The 11 sacks tie for most in the nation with Utahs 11 against Arizona State.Myles Garrett of Texas A&M had the most sacks individually, recording 4 1/2 against UTSA to more than double his season total. He now has 8 1/2.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Custom Football Jerseys China .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.

Dwight Howard has agreed to a three-year, $70.5 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks, Howards agent, Perry Rogers, told ESPNs Chris Broussard.The deal is totally guaranteed with no option.The agreement was first reported by The Vertical.Howard had a productive meeting with the Hawks on Friday, a source previously said. It was the Atlanta natives first meeting of the free-agency period.It was a really, really, really good meeting, the source said. Very impressive. Dwights going to look at all his options. But it went very, very well.Howard, who had also drawn interest from the Boston Celtics, had been scheduled to speak with other teams by phone Friday, the source said.A source previously told ESPNs Calvin Watkins that Howard was looking for a contract beginning at $24 million per year.It remains unknown whether Howard will play with Al Horford or replace him.Combined with Atlantas agreement with Kent Bazemore on a four-year deal worth $70 million Friday, the Hawks have nearly exhausted their available salary-cap space, while All-Star free agent and nine-year team veteran Horford has yet to pick a team.However, the Hawks were engaged in trade talks Friday that potentially would allow them to open more cap space in the event Horford decided to re-sign. Horford is one of the most coveted free agents on the market, with several teams interested in him, including the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards.The Hawks have yet to offer the full five-year max too Horford, a source said.ddddddddddddorford met with the Celtics, Rockets, Wizards and an unknown team Friday in Atlanta and expects to make a decision this weekend, sources said.Howard, 30, returns to his hometown after three seasons in Houston, where he battled injuries and wasnt the force he was earlier in his career. He managed just 13.7 points and 8.5 field goal attempts per game last season, his lowest numbers since his rookie season with Orlando in 2004-05.He had an opportunity to remain with Houston but declined a player option that would have paid him $23.2 million.If Horford leaves, the Hawks would need Howard to play better than he did in Houston. After averaging 18.3 points in his first season, he tailed off to 15.8 while missing half of the 2014-15 season, before dropping off further last season while the Rockets barely made the playoffs.Even if his offense isnt there, Howard can at times be a dominant rebounder and shot-blocker, although not quite at the level that won him three straight defensive player of the year awards from 2009 to 2011.Howard, who has averaged at least 10 points and 10 rebounds per game in each of his 12 NBA seasons, averaged fewer points per game last season than Horford (13.7 to 15.2) but was the much better rebounder (11.8 to 7.3).ESPNs Brian Windhorst, Calvin Watkins and Ramona Shelburne and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
