rth straight regular-season tournament title after winning the Cha

SAN MARCOS, Texas -- Had Houstons season gone as planned, DEriq King would have spent Saturday night standing on the sideline as the Cougars third-string quarterback.Instead, King caught a touchdown pass, threw for a TD and returned a kickoff for another score and No. 6 Houston cruised to a 64-3 victory over Texas State to remain undefeated.King is the first Houston player ever to pass, run and return a kickoff for a touchdown in the same game. The freshman was recruited to play quarterback but moved to wide receiver after the Cougars lost two receivers to injuries.If I played quarterback, I might have redshirted, King said. I really like what Im doing now.Greg Ward Jr. passed for two touchdowns and ran for one before leaving the game after playing one series in the third quarter. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 289 yards.King made a mistake by calling for a fair catch on the Houston 5 during a first-quarter Texas State punt. He soon made up for that, however, catching a short pass from Ward on a bubble screen and taking it in for a touchdown from 48 yards out.Early in the second quarter, King took a handoff from Ward and threw a high pass to the end zone that Steven Dunbar pulled in for a 15-yard touchdown.King began the second half by returning the kickoff 99 yards for another touchdown.Regardless of his versatility, Houston coach Tom Herman said King will someday return to quarterback.The second the clock hits double-zero in our bowl game hes going right back to the quarterback meeting room, Herman said. I think the kid has a chance to be a tremendous quarterback.Houston (4-0) gained 563 yards and limited Texas State (1-2) to 142. Texas States Tyler Jones completed 17 of 30 passes for 100 yards.Houston is a talented team that plays hard, Texas State coach Everett Withers said. Weve got a lot of work to do.THE TAKEAWAYHOUSTON: The Cougars , who came in as five-touchdown favorites, have handled two overmatched opponents (Lamar and Texas State) and two tougher ones (Oklahoma and Cincinnati) with aplomb so far. The margin of victory against Texas State was the largest for Houston since beating Louisiana Tech 73-3 on Aug. 31, 1991.The Cougars scored all seven times they reached the red zone.I was really proud of the offense, Herman said. The last couple of weeks they had a habit of shooting themselves in the foot and not finishing drives.TEXAS STATE: With the loss to Houston, the Bobcats are 0-5 against Top 25 teams since moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2012.Withers said this one stings.I want them to feel hurt, and if they dont we have a real issue, Withers said. It hurts me like someone just stuck a knife in my heart and I hope they feel just as bad. Some guys have that hurt, but not all of them. We have some major stuff to fix.POLL IMPLICATIONSHOUSTON: The Cougars are likely to remain at No. 6 .

Wholesale Kyrie Irving Shoes . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. No. 7 Virginia and Providence enter Saturday nights championship game of the Emerald Coast Classic having played several of the same opponents so far this season.After the Cavaliers dismantled Iowa 74-41 and Providence took care of Memphis 60-51 in Friday nights semifinal games, the two teams will meet after sharing two common opponents already, and one on the way when Virginia plays Ohio State Wednesday night.Both teams have wins over Grambling State and St. Francis Brooklyn and the Friars only loss this season came at the hands of Ohio State.Virginia has continued its dominance on the defensive end of the court as Iowa became the fourth straight opponent that the Cavaliers held to 41 points of fewer. The Cavaliers only opponent to top 41 was UNC Greensboro (51 points) in the season-opener.Iowa was slated to be Virginias toughest test to date, but the Cavaliers dominated the Hawkeyes in every facet of the game as they dished out 18 assists and never trailed again after Iowa scored the first two points of the game.Providence shot just 40 percent in their win over Memphis but held the Tigers to 34 percent shooting as they will be the toughest defensive opponent the Cavaliers have faced all season. The Friars allow just 58 points per game but have had trouble scoring the basketball so far -- something that wont bode well against the Cavaliers.Forward Rodney Bullock has averaged 21 points per game and continued his strong play with an 18-point performance against Memphis.ddddddddddddVirginia is looking for its fourth straight regular-season tournament title after winning the Charleston Classic last year. The Cavaliers win over Iowa marked just their third win in the state of Florida in the past 22 tries. Virginia put three players in double figures against the Hawkeyes and will need to continue to shoot the ball at the 50 percent clip they have been this season to maneuver the Providence defense.The Friars also put three players in double figures scoring in their semifinal win but got just 10 points from their bench, something that will need to improve against Virginias defense. The Cavaliers have used their bench to their advantage all season and that was no different against Iowa. Virginia got 31 points from their bench, including a career-high 14 points from forward Jared Reuter -- a possible defensive matchup for Bullock.Providence will look to be the first team to solve the undefeated Cavaliers this season but it wont be easy. Virginias hot shooting from the perimeter will provide a challenge for a Friar team that has defended the three-point shot well this season, but against lower competition.The Friars and Cavaliers are set to tip off for the tournament title Saturday night at 7p.m. ET.
