DALLAS -- Baker Mayfield first donned the giant gold cowboy hat -- awarded to the winner of the Red River rivalry -- then ran around the field with the Oklahoma Sooners flag.The Oklahoma quarterback who grew up in the Austin area also made three long sprints down the field during the game. Those were to the end zone to celebrate touchdown passes to Dede Westbrook as the 20th-ranked Sooners held on to win 45-40 over the beleaguered Texas Longhorns on Saturday in the annual game Mayfield knows so much about.Its special to me. Very special, Mayfield said. Ive been waiting a long time to actually come away with a win against these guys.Westbrook set a single-game Sooners record with 232 yards receiving on 10 catches, including three TDs longer than 40 yards .Hes got track-type speed, Mayfield said.After their 71-yard scoring hookup in the second quarter, the longest TD pass ever by the Sooners (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) against Texas, Mayfield sprinted along the Oklahoma sideline, then toward the middle of the field to acknowledge crimson-clad fans on the opposite side of the stadium before going to the end zone to meet up with Westbrook. They celebrated again after TDs of 47 and 42 yards in the third quarter.You just look at the plays we gave up, Charlie Strong said, the embattled third-year Texas coach who has taken over calling the defensive plays. You cant give up home runs thrown over your head.Mayfield lost to Texas as a freshman at Texas Tech in 2013 before transferring to Oklahoma, where he sat out a year before losing as the Sooners starter last October. This time, he completed 22 of 31 passes for 390 yards and overcame two interceptions in the first quarter, and a fumble in the final minute that his big right tackle Bobby Evans recovered.Samaje Perine added 214 yards and two touchdowns rushing on 35 carries as Oklahoma piled up 672 total yards in the highest-scoring game in the history of the rivalry.Texas (2-3, 0-2) led after two long TD passes by freshman quarterback Shane Buechele in the first 4 1/2 minutes after halftime. But Oklahoma went ahead for good when a Mayfield 4-yard TD run made it 28-27.While Oklahoma had four turnovers, Texas only turned those into three points.Very fortunate to lose the turnover battle the way we did and still win, Sooners coach Bob Stoops said.TAKEAWAYSOklahoma: While far from perfect, the Sooners are off to a good start in their pursuit of a 10th Big 12 title. The Sooners are also on the way to overcoming the disappointment of those two early non-conference losses that quickly eliminated any realistic chance of returning to the College Football Playoff for the second year in a row. Mayfield and Westbrook have developed quite a connection (five TDs, all of at least 40 yards, in two Big 12 games).Texas: A loss increases the heat on Strong after the Longhorns gave up more than 40 points for the fourth time this season, and more than 500 yards for the third consecutive game. But the Longhorns need to keep taking shots down the field with Buechele, who had TD passes of 63 yards (to Devin Duvernay) and 45 yards (to Dorian Leonard ) in the second half.WILD ENDINGAfter Donta Foremans 22-yard TD run for the Longhorns with 1:45 left, they almost got a huge break when Mayfield fumbled while being sacked on third down, but Oklahoma recovered and punted. Texas had a final wild play, completing several laterals and going forward at least 20 yards before eventually losing 9 -- after a final declined penalty for an illegal forward pass. Foreman finished with 159 yards rushing and two touchdowns.POLL IMPLICATIONSA more lopsided score for Oklahoma probably would have caught the attention of more voters , especially those who might not have tuned into for the less than must-see Red River game matching 2-2 teams. If not for all the miscues, the Sooners likely would have had a bigger margin. They may jump a spot or two, but are still a long way from the No. 3 spot they had to start the season.FIRST PICKSThe Texas defense had its first two interceptions of the season, both by Dylan Haines in the first quarter. One was on a ball through the arms of receiver Mark Andrews; the other came when Haines was the only player in the vicinity of the pass after the intended receiver got knocked down in the middle of the field without a penalty being called.UP NEXTOklahoma: The Sooners are home next Saturday for another 11 a.m. kickoff, against Kansas State.Texas: The Longhorns are home for the first time since Sept. 10 when they host Iowa State next Saturday.---APs college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale NFL Jerseys China . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

Authentic Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars can reach another miserable milestone Sunday against Denver.With a loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos (7-4), the Jaguars (2-9) would become the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit losses in six consecutive seasons.Its a dubious distinction Jacksonville surely would rather avoid. To do that, though, the Jags need to win out. That seems like an ultra-long shot for a team that has lost six in a row and already secured its ninth consecutive non-winning season.Its definitely frustrating because you always think year after year that this could be the year to turn things around, and when things dont go the way you expect, its so easy to get down, said veteran defensive end Tyson Alualu, one of three guys who have been on Jacksonvilles roster for six seasons. This is by far the most talented team Ive been a part of. We know thats not the issue.That just shows that this is a team that could be a contender in this league and we just have to find answers to how we need to finish games and win games.Only four others have lost as consistently often as the Jaguars. Tampa Bay had 12 consecutive seasons (1983-94) with double-digits losses. Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13) werent nearly as inept as the Buccaneers, but they still managed to post at least six straight seasons with 10 or more losses.The Jaguars seem like a lock to join the exclusive -- and depressive -- club. After all, they are winless in four games at EverBank Field this year and havent beaten a team thats finished with a winning record since 2012.Jacksonville seemingly will catch a break with Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian sidelined because of a sprained left foot, leaving rookie Paxton Lynch to make his second career start and first on the road.Denver needs a victory to keep pace in the crowded AFC playoff picture. Coach Gary Kubiaks team has dropped four of its last seven games, including two of three on the road. The Broncos trail Oakland and Kansas City in the AFC West.I dont pay attention to that stuff, star linebacker Von Miller said. We just are trying to put our best football out there. That is all we can do. We still have five weeks left. It is a long way. Taking it one game at a time, playing as good as we possibly can and whatever happens, happens.The Jaguars, meanwhile, continue to play hard despite mounting losses and speculation about coach Gus Bradleys job security. Players, though, seem to realize theyre playing out the string down the stretch.ddddddddddddEvery time you come to work, its like a job interview because these coaches go other places, Alualu said. This league is all about what have you done for me lately, so its about producing on the field and making plays if you want to stick around.Here are some other things to know about the Broncos and Jaguars:GROUNDED GROUND GAME: The Broncos struggling ground game took another huge hit when battering ram rookie fullback Andy Janovich underwent season-ending surgery on his left ankle Tuesday. When healthy, Janovich added toughness to the group thats been missing since C.J. Andersons knee surgery in October. The Broncos likely will play more two-tight end sets now with A.J. Derby and Virgil Green.PLUCKING BRONCOS: The Jaguars have signed a free agent from Denver in each of the last three seasons, and only defensive tackle Malik Jackson has panned out . Jacksonville signed guard Zane Beadles to a five-year, $30 million contract in 2014 that included $12.5 million guaranteed. Beadles struggled and was cut after two seasons. Jacksonville gave tight end Julius Thomas a five-year, $46 million deal last year that included $24 million guaranteed. Thomas missed four games in 2015 because of a broken bone in his hand and two more this year because of elbow and back injuries.BRONCOS INFIGHTING: Kubiak insists the incident was an emotional, heat-of-the-moment thing, but Aqib Talibs shove of Jordan Norwood after the returners second muffed punt last weekend might foretell fractures in the locker room. Denvers dazzling defense has carried an inept offense and inconsistent special teams all season, just like last year. Talib said he apologized and Norwood said he accepted. The Broncos own the best pass defense in the league and are fourth in total defense, but their offense is 19th because their O-line cant protect the passer or bore holes for running backs.DEPLETED BACKFIELD: The Jaguars would like to keep the ball on the ground against Denver, which ranks 27th against the run. But running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) wont play and backup T.J. Yeldon is still recovering from an ankle injury. So Jacksonville might have to count on seldom-used reserve Denard Robinson.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Nike Baseball Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Authentic Cheap NHL Jerseys Canada Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys China NCAA Jerseys Cheap Nike NHL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Football Jerseys Store Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Jerseys NCAA China Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys ' ' '
