9/28/18 Vikings can't catch up to big-play Rams in 38-31 loss By Ben Goessling LOS ANGELES – Even with as much as the Vikings had working against them Thursday night, what happened to them against the Los Angeles Rams defied convention, for a defense that’s been fashioned into one of the NFL’s best under Mike Zimmer’s watchful gaze. A year ago, the Vikings had shut down the Rams’ high-flying offense, delivering one of its signature performances in a 24-7 victory that gave the Vikings the inside track on a first-round bye. On Thursday night in the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, it was the Rams who landed the haymakers in a 38-31 victory. Since 2006, teams traveling two or more time zones west were 13-30 in night games in the Pacific Time zone, posting a 0-6 record on Thursday nights. The Vikings traveled to Los Angeles to face the NFC’s only undefeated team without defensive end Everson Griffen. Nothing about their task was enviable. Still, the way the Rams carved up the Vikings’ defense — the league’s top-ranked unit from a year ago — was startling to watch. Jared Goff had thrown five touchdown passes by the end of the third quarter, becoming the first quarterback to post that many against the Vikings since Drew Brees did it on Dec.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

    Local Sports Report -- September 23 Posted by TBN On 09/22/2013 Local Sports Report with Buddy Long (Click Here) Griffins turnovers send Redskins to 0-3, Ravens dominate Texans for huge win at home!!!! Hello Sports Fans, I’m Buddy Long. And this is the Monday September 23rd edition of Southern Maryland Sports. Washington Redskins: Redskins drop to 0-3 with loss to Lions!!! On a day when it appeared the Washington Redskins would turn things around and claim their first win of the season, the turf at FedEx Field was rather unkind, sending a Robert Griffin III fumble into the hands of a Detroit defender, then taking away an apparent Aldrick Robinson touchdown. Griffin later threw an ill advised pass while on the run, that was eventually picked off. The end result was a 27-20 win for the Detroit Lions, thus ending a 21 game losing streak in the nations capital for the Lions, encompassing 74 years. Lions QB Matthew Stafford went 25-42 for 385 yards and 2 touchdowns. The game started off well for Washington as DeAngelo Hall intercepted a Stafford pass, returning it 17 yards for the first score of the game. Alfred Morris added a 30 yard TD scamper in the second quarter. But again, the Redskins secondary had a tough day with one of the leagues best receivers in Calvin Johnson, as well as Nate Burleson, both of which had 100 yard days. The Redskins now take their 0-3 record to the west coast to play the Oakland Raiders next Sunday, then have a bye week before the bulk of a most difficult schedule will begin, starting with a road trip to the division leading Dallas Cowboys.
