COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Trevor Knight got a tip from assistant coach Jim Turner before facing fourth down from the 1-yard line in overtime in Texas A&Ms 31-24 victory over No. 16 UCLA on Saturday.The offensive line coach noticed how UCLAs defense had approached several plays and told Knight what he should do.Coach Turner said ... youre going to have an opportunity to pull this ball and walk it into the end zone, Knight said.And thats exactly what he did.Knight threw for 239 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores, including that one in overtime to lead Texas A&M past UCLA in his debut with the Aggies.Texas A&M sealed the victory when Justin Evans knocked down Josh Rosens pass at the goal line on fourth down.All Im thinking is: `Man, Ive got to make a play. Ive got to make a play, Evans said. He threw it up. I went up for it and made a play.Knight, a graduate transfer from Oklahoma, outplayed Rosen.Rosen threw three interceptions while working under heavy pressure from a defense led by Myles Garrett.The Aggies looked to have this one wrapped up when they led by 15 in the fourth quarter after using two third-quarter touchdowns.But UCLAs offense finally got going after that, scoring twice in two minutes with the second one coming on a 62-yard pass by Rosen to cut it two 2. A 2-point conversion after that TD tied it with 2:39 remaining.The Bruins were driving again after a third straight punt by A&M when Evans intercepted Rosens pass for the second time to give A&M a chance to win it in regulation.But Knights pass was knocked down in the end zone to force overtime.I took too long to get going, and that cant happen, Rosen said. Its a quarterback-driven sport, and you cant have a quarterback play that bad in the first half. Its completely unacceptable.Knight wasnt the only former Sooner to shine for the Aggies on Saturday. Running back Keith Ford had a touchdown and 65 of A&Ms 203 yards rushing in his first game since setting out a year following his transfer from Oklahoma.NO CONVERSATIONGarrett, who led the Southeastern Conference with 12 1/2 sacks last season, had a sack, 1 1/2 tackles for losses and two quarterback hurries on Saturday. He was asked if Rosen said anything to him.We didnt have any chit chat. There was no trash talk, Garrett said. I just knew I was going to be in his face a lot.THE TAKEAWAYUCLA: Rosen will have to make better decisions and the Bruins need to shore up an offensive line that allowed five sacks on Saturday to get back on track and win the Pac-12s South division as they were predicted to do.TEXAS A&M: Coach Kevin Sumlin will certainly have plenty for Knight to work on after seeing him in game action for the first time with the Aggies. But his solid performance along with the excellent outing by the running game answered some questions about an offense that lost quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray to transfers and got a new offensive coordinator in Noel Mazzone this offseason.POLL IMPLICATIONSUCLA: The Bruins will likely fall a few spots in the poll because of the loss, but should remain ranked thanks to the comeback that forced overtime.Texas A&M: The Aggies were receiving the second-most votes among teams not ranked in the preseason poll, so they should enter the poll next week thanks to the win and several losses among ranked teams on opening weekend.UP NEXTUCLA: The Bruins meet UNLV for just the second time next Saturday in their home opener.TEXAS A&M: The Aggies stay home again next week when theyll face FCS opponent Prairie View, which is just 50 miles away, for the first time.LAST WORD:Proud of our guys to get the win, but the way things happened weve got a lot to work on, Sumlin said. We kind of went to sleep at the wheel there early in the fourth quarter. We cant have lapses like that.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Stitched Phillies Jerseys . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Wholesale Phillies Jerseys .

NEW ORLEANS -- If Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams keep scoring like this, opponents are going to have trouble matching up with Los Angeles second unit this season.Clarkson scored 23 points, Williams added 21, and the Lakers won for the fifth time in six games, beating the New Orleans Pelicans 126-99 on Saturday night.Me and Lou are going to be real aggressive coming in. Were trying to do a good job of leading this second group, bringing the energy, scoring the ball, pushing the pace, Clarkson said. Coach (Luke Walton) gave that to us. Thats our role and thats what were going to do.DAngelo Russell scored 22 and Nick Young added 15 points for the Lakers, who shot 55.3 percent (52 of 94) overall and made 16 of 30 3-pointers.Combined, Lakers guards scored 84 points.It just shows how much firepower weve got and how deep we can go, Clarkson said. Weve got so many options, its crazy.Anthony Davis scored 34 for New Orleans, but left the game for a pivotal stretch with lower back pain after his layup had cut Los Angeles lead to 63-62 in the third quarter. Davis, who crumpled to the court after his shot fell, went to the locker room and was out of the game for four-plus minutes while the Lakers went on a 14-0 run.It just locked up on me, Davis said of his back. I hate being out, so I tried to do whatever I could to come back.Davis added nine more points after he returned, but New Orleans never recovered, losing for the ninth time in its first 10 games and dropping to 0-5 at home.New Orleans has been without three top players -- guards Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans, and forward Quincy Pondexter -- so far this season. The lack of depth caused by those absences stuck out against a Lakers second unit that has demonstrated exceptional chemistry lately.Their bench totally dominated the game, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. We couldnt get Lou stopped. I thought Clarkson pretty much scored at will.Rookie Buddy Hield scored 18 points and Langston Galloway added 12 for the Pelicans.Young was 5 for 7 from 3-point range, while Clarkson went 4 of 6 and Russell 4 of 7..ddddddddddddRookie Brandon Ingram scored 10 points for the Lakers. He left the game in the second half with what team officials said was a sprained left ankle, but Ingram said he might have returned if his team hadnt built such a comfortable lead in the fourth quarter.TIP-INSLakers: Julius Randle had 11 rebounds to go with eight points. ... Williams entered the game as one of the top scorers in the NBA in a reserve role, averaging 15.9 points. He scored 14 in the first half, hitting six of his first 10 shots, including a 3-pointer. His 21 points tied a season high. ... Young, who entered the game 22 of 22 on free throws this season, did not attempt a foul shot -- nor did any Lakers starter. ... The Lakers 53.3 percent shooting from 3-point range was their best since hitting 14 of 25 (56 percent) in a 111-103 win over Denver on Dec. 30, 2014.Pelicans: Davis reached 30 points for the seventh time in 10 games this season. ... Hield reached double digits in scoring for the fourth time in six games, scoring no fewer than nine points in a game during that span and as many as 18 twice.REMINISCINGWalton and Gentry hugged in the hallway outside the locker rooms before the game. They also reminisced about their time as assistants on the same staff with Golden State during the 2014-15 season, when the Warriors were NBA champions. Gentry said he was not at all surprised to see Waltons early success as a first-year head coach of a young team that won only 17 games last season.Hes got a great feel for the game, but I think more so than that, hes got a great feel for people. He can relate to anyone, Gentry said.Gentry also alluded to a couple of Lakers players whove said they would run through a wall for Walton. In our profession, Gentry began, laughing as he spoke, youve accomplished a lot when an NBA player says something like that about his coach.UP NEXTLakers: Visit Minnesota on Sunday night.Pelicans: Host Boston on Monday night.
