week. "Ive hit, I believe, about eight or 10," he said. And then when he was asked where, Woods smiled and said, "On the range." McDowell has seen plenty of Woods over the last few year

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Things sure do get wild in West Virginia whenever Oklahoma comes to town.In the first meeting of top 10 teams in the Big 12 this season, the eighth-ranked Sooners (8-2, 7-0 Big 12, No. 9 CFP) will try to keep their faint national playoff hopes going on Saturday night, along with the consolation prize of moving closer to a league title.Then theres No. 10 West Virginia, which badly wants its first league crown but needs some help along the way.The Mountaineers (8-1, 5-1, No. 14 CFP) also want to put to rest the notion that its not up to par with Oklahoma, which is the only Big 12 team that West Virginia hasnt beaten since joining the league in 2012.Ive been here a long time, 0-4 against Oklahoma, said West Virginia center Tyler Orlosky. Obviously you want to win this game and itll set you up for the rest of the season, finish out strong. And hopefully we do.West Virginia has the Big 12s stingiest defense, allowing 20.6 points per game. Chances out that goes out the window in a series that has seen two high-scoring games in Morgantown.In 2012, Oklahoma needed a last-second TD pass by Landry Jones to beat the Mountaineers 50-49 in a game that featured 1,440 yards of offense .Two years later, the teams combined for 1,013 yards, Oklahomas Samaje Perine ran for 242 yards and four scores , and the Sooners won 45-33.Oklahoma has a 14-game conference winning streak. Its last three road games have been decided by 10 points or less.Theres always a certain challenge and energy to playing on the road to a rowdy crowd, said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. The guys kind of unify, and bond, and its sort of you against all of them, and you can get a charge out of that.---Some other things to note when the Sooners and Mountaineers meet on what could be a cold, rainy night:TITLE FOCUS: Oklahoma or No. 13 Oklahoma State can win the Big 12 title if one of them wins their remaining games. The Sooners can wrap it up with a win Saturday coupled with an Oklahoma State loss at TCU. The Cowboys and Sooners meet Dec. 3. West Virginia takes the title if it wins its remaining three games and Oklahoma State loses once.QBS PERFORMING DIFFERENTLY: Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has thrown 17 TDs with two interceptions in his last four games. West Virginias Skyler Howard has five interceptions in his last three but hopes to take advantage of a Sooners defense that is allowing an average of 297 yards.HONORING TAVON: Oklahoma wide receiver Dede Westbrook revealed this week that he wears No. 11 in honor of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin, who currently wears the same number. Austin starred at West Virginia. In 2012, he had a school-record 344 rushing yards and league-record 572 all-purpose yards against the Sooners, a performance that Westbrook enjoyed watching while attending junior college. That guy was awesome, Westbrook said.WVU RBS: Coach Dana Holgorsen said he wasnt sure of the status of West Virginia running backs Rushel Shell and Justin Crawford, who playing sparingly last week with injuries. That left freshman Kennedy McKoy to get the bulk of the carries in a 24-20 win over Texas . McKoy ran for 73 yards and West Virginia had a season-low 114 yards on the ground in struggling to close out the Longhorns after building a two-touchdown lead.PASS RUSHERS APPLY: If the Mountaineers want to get to Mayfield, theyd better get busy. West Virginia has just 17 sacks this season. Noble Nwachukwu, who is tied for the team lead with three, sat out the Texas game with a leg injury. Holgorsen said he expects Nwachukwu to be ready this week.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale China Jerseys . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

GULLANE -- Tiger Woods couldnt get anything close all day except for the one place that mattered at the British Open. His name high on the leaderboard. Woods didnt charge into contention Friday at Muirfield as much as he kept from falling back like so many others. Not only did he go 12 holes without a birdie, he only had two reasonable chances before finally cashing in with a 15-foot putt on the last hole for an even-par 71. It looked even better as the day went on, and more players ahead of him kept dropping shots on the some of the fastest greens at the British Open. When the second round ended, Woods was at 2-under 140, only one shot behind 49-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez. Woods was tied with Lee Westwood (68) and Henrik Stenson (70). He plays in the penultimate group Saturday with Westwood. "Just continue plodding along," Woods said. "Just continue being patient, putting the ball in the right spots. Were not going to get a lot of opportunities out there, but when I have, Ive been able to capitalize. And hopefully, I can continue doing that." It was enough to impress Graeme McDowell, who found himself caught up in watching golfs No. 1 player work his way through the wind. "There will be no surprise to me if hes picking up the claret jug on Sunday night," said McDowell, who also had a 71 and was 4-over 146. "But Im not writing off the rest of the field. Theres quality players there in this field, and Im certainly not writing myself off. But if he continues to play the way hes playing, hes going to be tough to beat." For three hours in the middle of his round, Woods looked like he was trying to hang on. Getting the speed of the green was tough enough after officials hand-watered the greens overnight, making them slower than what Woods faced Thursday afternoon. The real problem was judging the speed of the fairways. Six times he came up short of the greens as he tried to bounce his shots off the firm turf and onto the putting surface. On consecutive holes, Woods finally saw the ball run onto the green and over the back. From just short of the 10th green, he knocked his putt some 15 feet past the hole and made that coming back for par. He was short enough on the 11th that he chipped over a hump about 10 feet by the hole, and missed that putt to make bogey. On the 14th and 15th holes, his shots landed 30 yards short of the green and both times ran off the back edge. He hit a flop shot from mangled grass to 3 feet on the 14th, and he chipped to 5 feet on the 15th. Both times, he saved par. It was hard work, and Woods looked the part. "I was having a hard time to get the ball to chase, and then on top of that, trying to hit the putts hard enough going up the hills," Woods said.dddddddddddd. "But then toward the middle part of my round, I lost the pace and was blowing it past the hole. But finally got it fixed at the end." The key for Woods comes on Saturday. He had a share of the 36-hole lead last year at the U.S. Open and PGA Championship and fell too far back after the third round to seriously contend. And he has never won a major when he wasnt atop the leaderboard going into the last round. "Im not going to win every major I play in," Woods said. "But certainly I can try and put myself there. If I give myself enough opportunities, Ill get my share. And I think I have so far in my career." McDowell wasnt sure what impressed him more -- the clutch putting or control Woods had of the flight of his irons. Fridays round was played in an opposite wind out of the east, and it led to some significant adjustments. Hit 3-wood off the tee and a 6-iron onto the green at the 448-yard 15th on Thursday. The next day, it was a 5-iron off the tee and sand wedge just over the green. The par-5 17th hole was downwind in the opening round, so Woods hit 4-iron off the tee and 4-iron onto the green. On Friday, he hit 3-wood off the tee and for his approach, leaving that some 50 yards short of the green. As for the driver? That remains a rumour. McDowell said he had to check twice with Joe LaCava, Woods caddie, "that the driver head cover actually had a driver underneath it." "Because it actually hasnt seen the light of day -- not even close," McDowell said. "Hes playing the golf course conservatively, using his iron play to devastating effect. Very impressive. I said to him on the 18th green, That was a clinic the last two days. That was very impressive. Combo that with some great putting, hes going to be dangerous." Woods was asked how many drivers he has hit this week. "Ive hit, I believe, about eight or 10," he said. And then when he was asked where, Woods smiled and said, "On the range." McDowell has seen plenty of Woods over the last few years. He played with Woods in the final group at Bay Hill last year, which Woods won by five shots. He played with him in the final round at Doral this year and made a strong run until Woods won going away. "He was very, very impressive the last two days," McDowell said. "He will not be far away this weekend the way hes playing. Iron play, the flight control that he has in his irons ... he just hits the shot that youre supposed to hit at all times."
