PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State is 7-0 in conference play for the first time in its history. That isnt enough for receiver Gabe Marks.Now we want to be 8-0. That would be cool, Marks said.The surging Cougars, ranked 23rd in the nation, took control of the Pac-12 North by winning their eighth consecutive game on Saturday.Luke Falk threw five touchdown passes, including three to River Cracraft, helping Washington State beat California 56-21.The Cougars (8-2, 7-0 Pac-12, No. 23 CFP) have their longest winning streak since 1930 and are on a surprising quest for a Pac-12 championship.Its about just winning games, said Marks, who set a Pac-12 record for most career receptions in the game.Davis Webb threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns for Cal (4-6, 2-5), which has lost three straight games and is struggling to keep its bowl hopes alive.The victory, coupled with No. 4 Washingtons loss to Southern California, left the Cougars in first place in the Pac-12 North. But they werent getting complacent.Weve still got a lot of football to play, Falk said.Id like to be first place at the end of November, offensive lineman Riley Sorenson said.Cracraft caught nine passes for 87 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter with a leg injury.Falk completed 36 of 50 passes for 373 yards with one interception. The former walk-on broke a team record with his 23rd game of at least 300 passing yards.The Cougars produced 654 yards of total offense in the game, including 254 rushing yards.These guys run like trains, Sorenson said of the Cougar running backs. It adds a wrinkle we havent had.Californias high-flying offense piled up 525 yards but struggled to get into the end zone. Demetris Robertson had a pair of touchdown receptions for the Golden Bears.California had won 10 of the past 11 games between the teams and had not lost in Pullman since 2002.I was disappointed in the way we played, California coach Sonny Dykes said. We are not playing particularly well on defense, but it does not help when we have lost seven of our starting eight safeties for the year.Cal punted on the games first possession, and Washington States Kaleb Fossum returned the ball 75 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. It was WSUs first punt return for a touchdown since 2005.Gerard Wicks, who finished with 128 yards, scored on a 2-yard run for a 14-0 lead.Marks caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Falk midway through the fourth quarter to set the career receiving record.MARKS A LOTMarks caught seven passes in the game to give him 295 career receptions, breaking the Pac-12 record of 294 held by Colorados Nelson Spruce. Two of Marks receptions were for touchdowns.THE TAKEAWAYCalifornia: The Golden Bears are struggling to qualify for a bowl game, having lost four of their past five games.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Barring an injury, Victor Cruz is going to play for the New York Giants on Saturday in the annual preseason game against the Jets.Cruz, who has not played in a game since injuring a knee against Philadelphia in his sixth game in 2014, got through a week of practice without aggravating a groin injury that kept him out of preseason games against Miami and Buffalo.Coach Ben McAdoo said he planned to use Cruz early in the game.Im ready, Cruz said after practice on Thursday. Obviously its been a long time coming. I had a good week of practice, everything feels great so Im just excited to put that out there on the game field for the first time in a long time.Cruz said this is more than a preseason game to him, and there is some truth to that.General manager Jerry Reese said he wants to see the oft-injured Cruz play two preseason games.The Giants have a number of young receivers, led by Odell Beckham Jr. and second-round draft pick Sterling Shepard.Cruz could give Eli Manning another option if he can stay healthy, but if the 29-year-old cant stay on the field his place on the 53-man roster could be in jeopardy.This one is crossing so many hurdles, so many barriers, Cruz said. So many ups and downs that I had to face to get to this moment. Now, Im just ready to relax and go play some football again.dddddddddddd To me, this game is bigger than just the game. Although its just a preseason game, for me, mentally and emotionally, physically, its more than just a football game.McAdoo said Cruz got through a three-hour practice on Wednesday in good shape.When he first got out here this week, he showed a burst and showed some acceleration, he can put his foot in the ground, McAdoo said. He had a really nice release on a slant, which reminded me of the Houston game a few years ago, so it is encouraging.McAdoo said Cruz showed some flashes of his best days early in training camp before the groin injury.Manning said it was good having Cruz back at practice, adding he looked fast, explosive and healthy.I think hes had a good understanding of the timing of this offense and when the ball is going to be coming his way, Manning said.Hes always been a special guy in the slot just having a good feel. Giving sticks and its been easy for me to read his body language when hes coming in and out of breaks. Its good that we still have that.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Hoodies Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
