LINCOLN, Neb. -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. ran for two touchdowns and threw a perfect deep ball to Alonzo Moore for another, and Nebraska pulled away in the second half to defeat Fresno State 43-10 on Saturday night for Mike Rileys 100th win as a college coach.The Cornhuskers pounded away at the Bulldogs with runs on 51 of their 64 plays, and Devine Ozigbo ran for a career-high 103 yards and two touchdowns. The biggest of Armstrongs few passes came two plays after Kieron Williams first career interception, when Moore beat his man to catch in stride a 57-yard TD early in the fourth quarter.When we run it that well, we open up a lot for the receivers, Armstrong said. When we get a chance to throw it, we have to complete them.Armstrongs second-half TD runs of 9 and 4 yards helped the Huskers turn a 14-10 halftime lead into a blowout.Fresno States Chason Virgil, who missed the last nine games in 2015 with a broken clavicle, completed his first five passes and 11 of his first 14. The Bulldogs got a scare when he banged up his left shoulder late in the first half after being driven out of bounds by linebacker Luke Gifford, who was ejected for targeting.Virgil returned to start the third quarter but didnt get much done the rest of the night against a Nebraska defense that got better as the game went on.I thought our guys went toe-to-toe with them for a pretty good bit, and then they broke our will in the fourth quarter, Bulldogs coach Tim DeRuyter said.Fresno State was without receiver DaMari Scott, who was suspended for the game because of an NCAA eligibility issue, an FSU spokesman said.The Huskers remembered punter Sam Foltz, who died in a car crash in July. When they lined up in punt formation after going three-and-out on their first series, they lined up with 10 players and no punter, and the crowd responded with loud cheers and applause. When they were flagged for delay of game after the play clock expired, Fresno State declined the delay-of-game penalty.The Huskers also had Foltzs No. 27 jersey draped over the end of their bench.THE TAKEAWAYFresno State: The Bulldogs, coming off a 3-9 season, hung with Nebraska for a half and should be improved if they can keep Virgil healthy for new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau.They capitalized on Robert Stanleys blocked punt and a couple Nebraska penalties, and that allowed them to keep it close until the third quarter. First-year defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward can take consolation in that its unlikely his unit will go against another opponent that runs the ball as well as Nebraska.Nebraska: The game plan was perfect against an opponent that ranked 117th against the run last year, and once Armstrong and the Huskers got going in the second half, they were nearly unstoppable. Nebraska, which finished with 292 yards on the ground, ran on 20 of its first 21 plays, and Riley made good on his plan to get Armstrong more carries.Ozigbo and Terrell Newby formed a strong 1-2 combination, and freshman Tre Bryant showed up well when he got his chances late in the game. The Huskers need more discipline. They had three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in addition to an ejection for targeting for a third straight game.UP NEXT:Fresno State: The Bulldogs go from playing in one of the cathedrals of college football to hosting Sacramento State. DeRuyters Fresno teams have beaten Football Championship Subdivision opponents by an average of 26 points.Nebraska: The Huskers host Wyoming, coached by former Nebraska assistant Craig Bohl. This is no gimme. The last time the teams met, in 2013 in Lincoln, the Cowboys scored a couple late touchdowns and put a scare into the Huskers before losing 37-34.---Online: AP college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.orgBernie Kosar Youth Jersey .

Though he had the undefeated champion a few paths outside of pacesetter Go Maggie Go, they were in virtual lockstep through the first six furlongs of the 10-furlong race run in 1:11.13.I cant honestly tell you I wasnt concerned, Smith said.But every so often, Smith would look down at Songbird and could see - and feel - she had no concerns whatsoever despite the rapid early pace.Around the far turn, Songbird left Go Maggie Go behind and the rest was rather easy as Songbird cruised home a seven-length winner of the 136th Alabama before an announced crowd of 40,329 on a perfect summer afternoon.Songbird is perfection embodied as she ran her record to 10 for 10, this being her sixth Grade 1 victory.I never like to say its easy, but shes just got a lot of talent and makes it look easy, but its not easy, said Jerry Hollendorfer, the trainer of Songbird.What wasnt easy Saturday was the fact owner Rick Porter wasnt at Saratoga for the race. Instead, he is hospitalized in Delaware, making the victory even more meaningful to Hollendorfer and Smith.Mr. Porter is having a little bit of a hard time of it right now, but hes a real tough guy and we expect him to come through with flying colors, Hollendorfer said. It was our hope and wish that we could win for him today and we did.Smith said he had the chance to speak briefly to Porter on Friday.It was extremely important we win this and lift Mr. Porters spirits, Smith said. Hes fighting. Were hoping. Were praying.Songbird had a fight on her hands as Go Maggie Go, breaking from post 4 under Luis Saez, went to the front. Songbird, breaking from post 6, took Smith right with her through a quarter-mile in 23.76 seconds, a half in 47.77, and six furlongs in 1:11.dddddddddddd13.Im a rider Im thinking a hundred different things, Smith said. Who is going to make the late charge? Have we done too much soon? But I look down at her about every five steps and shes just doing what she does. Every now and then shed throw an ear [up] so I knew she was comfortable. Me, in my head, Im trying to figure out whats going on behind me.Smiths biggest fear was that Weep No More would pull a reprise of what she did in the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland in April when she came from out of the clouds to nail Rachels Valentina and Cathryn Sophia on the wire. But no one was coming.I was coaxing her with the whip just a little, I wasnt really hitting her, just stay the same, you dont have to go no faster, Smith said. Then I stood up and saw she was 10 in front.Going for Broke, making her stakes debut, rallied from sixth to get second by 1-3/4 lengths over Family Tree. Weep No More, Flora Dora, Go Maggie Go, and Dark Nile, who was eased, completed the order of finish.Songbird covered the 1-1/4 miles in 2:03.00, running the last quarter-mile in 26.99 seconds. She returned $2.40 as the favorite.She was tired, but theyre supposed to be going a mile and quarter with those early fractions, Smith said. Im not going to lie to you and say she came back skipping. I mean she was blowing but the sign of a champion is how shell recover in a couple of days.Songbird return to a loud ovation from the Saratoga faithful, some holding Songbird posters that the New York Racing Association gave away.Songbird is expected to ship back to Southern California on Tuesday. But, she is expected to return east for the Grade 1, $1 million Cotillion at Parx on Sept. 24. ' ' '
