EL PASO, Texas -- John White took his final hand-off of the day, followed his lead blocker and set of a celebration. White plowed into the end zone from eight yards out to give Utah a 30-27 overtime victory against Georgia Tech on Saturday in the Sun Bowl. "They trusted me with the ball, so I saw Shawn Asiata blast somebody and I knew I was going to go in," White said. "As soon as the ball crossed the plain I looked up to the ref and saw his hands go up and knew it was a touchdown so I just wanted to go celebrate with my teammates." Justin Moore kicked a 34-yard field goal in Georgia Techs overtime possession to take a three-point lead, but White finished a 115-yard rushing day with the game-winning score on his 26th carry. The Utes (8-5) tied it in regulation when Jon Hays hit DeVonte Christopher with a 28-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-14 with 1:32 left in the fourth quarter. "Theres no quit in these guys," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "They kept believing, coaches kept believing, and we found a way to win in the end." Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson was disappointed with his teams play in the fourth quarter. "We couldnt block in the fourth quarter and the plays we needed to make just didnt happen," Johnson said. "It feels like somebody kicked you in the gut. When you are competitive, it really hurts" The Yellow Jackets (8-5) drove to the Utah 31 with two seconds left, but David Scully missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt as time expired to send the Sun Bowl to overtime for the first time in its 77-year history. Moore had earlier missed two 42-yard tries for Tech. "I thought (Scully) hit the ball good and I actually thought it went in but I guess it was a few feet to the right," Johnson said. "We didnt make enough plays and we missed three field goals." Georgia Tech lost its seventh straight bowl appearance and Utah improved to 7-1 in bowls under Whittingham. Georgia Techs Preston Lyons, who came in with only 39 carries, rushed for a career-best 140 yards on 18 carries and Tevin Washington passed for 137 yards and ran for 97. Utah grabbed a 7-0 lead on Asiata capped the game-opening drive with a one-yard run. With David Sims out of with an injury and Orwin Smith also ailing, Georgia Tech relied heavily on Lyons, who put the Yellow Jackets on the board with a 36-yard run up the middle to tie the game 7-7. Lyons finished the first half with 129 yards on 12 carries. "Defensively we were real soft against the running game in the first half," Whittingham said. "They had a nice scheme and showed us stuff we didnt practice. It took us a while to adjust to that and we gave a bunch of rushing yards in the first half however only seven points, which is the bottom line." Coleman Peterson banked in a 25-yard field goal with 14 seconds left in the first half to give the Utes a 10-7 lead. A 27-yard punt by Utah set up Moores 32-yard field goal to tie it in the third quarter. The Yellow Jackets scored again on their next possession. Washington hit Embry Peeples with a 58-yard pass, then found Stephen Hill for a 31-yard touchdown to make it 17-10. Moments later, Quayshawn Nealy picked off a pass by Hays and returned it down the sideline 74 yards for a touchdown with 4:14 left in the third quarter. "We should have put the game away in the fourth quarter," Johnson said. "We didnt let up. We ran most of the same plays in the fourth quarter that we ran in the rest of the game." Hays hit Kendrick Moeai with a three-yard touchdown pass with 6:50 left in the fourth quarter to make it 24-17. Hays went 15 for 31 for 193 yards. Nike Air Max 1 Dam .

Nike Air Max 90 Billigt . -- Kawhi Leonard had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and second-seeded San Diego State survived Devon Beitzels scoring burst to win its first NCAA tournament game, 68-50 over Northern Colorado on Thursday.DENVER -- The Colorado Avalanche are rounding up the old crew to restore the downtrodden franchise. First, Joe Sakic was given more responsibility in the front office. And now Hall of Fame goalie Patrick Roy is rejoining the Avs as head coach. Colorado reached an agreement in principle Thursday with Roy to lead the team and also serve as vice-president of hockey operations. Roy will join forces with Sakic, who was recently promoted to executive vice-president of hockey operations. The Avalanche won two Stanley Cup titles with the duo on the ice and the organization is hoping they can help turn around a struggling franchise. Pull this off and it just might be Roys biggest save yet. The Avs finished a year theyd rather forget, winding up last in the Western Conference and sitting out of the playoffs for a third straight season. The dismal season led to the dismissal of coach Joe Sacco late last month. However, the team does have the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft. They also have one of the winningest goalies of all time, a fiery competitor during his playing days who will bring that sort of intensity to the bench. The 47-year-old Roy becomes the sixth coach in Avalanche history and the 14th in franchise history; the team began as the Quebec Nordiques and moved to Denver before the 1995-96 season. The Avs captured the first of two Stanley Cup titles that season, with Roy in net. Although he has no NHL coaching experience, Roy did spend the last eight seasons as coach and general manager of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, winning the 2006 Memorial Cup. He also is a part-owner of the QMJHL franchise. "This is an unbelievable day for me," Roy said. "Its a new and exciting challenge that I am really looking forward to. Almost 10 years to the day that I announced my retirement as a player I am back in Denver and hope the fans are as excited as I am." Roys younger brother, Stephane Roy, let the secret out of the bag earlier this week, posting a Facebook note saying his brother would be the new coach. That left fans in the Mile High City eager all week, hoping two of the most beloved players in team history would team up again. "This is a very exciting day for our fans and a significant moment in our organizations history," team president Josh Kroenke said. Following the season, the Avalanche shoook up their front office, naming Kroenke as their team president as he took over for longtime executive Pierre Lacroix, who was instrumental in assembling the squads that won championships in 1996 and 2001.dddddddddddd Kroenkes first task was giving Sakic more of a say in every day hockey decisions. He also allowed Sakic to seek out the next coach. Naturally, he turned to someone he knows quite well. "All along Patrick was our top candidate and we are thrilled that he has decided to accept this offer," Sakic said. "Patrick has a great hockey mind, is a tremendous coach and there is no one more passionate about this game. He will bring that winning attitude to our dressing room to help this young team grow." Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006. He retired with the most regular-season wins in NHL history (551), since passed by New Jerseys Martin Brodeur. Roy also won two Stanley Cups with Montreal and remains the winningest goalie in Stanley Cup history with 151 postseason victories. "Patricks passion for the game of hockey both as a player and as a coach defines who he is as a person," Kroenke said. "He is a winner and is coming back to Denver, where he created numerous special moments on and off the ice while helping lead us to two Stanley Cup championships." Roy won three Vezina Trophies (1989, 1990, 1992) and was selected to the NHL All-Star team six times. The excitable Roy started his career with Montreal, winning two Stanley Cup trophies for the Canadiens. But a rift grew with the team after a game against Detroit on Dec. 2, 1995, when Roy allowed nine goals before he was finally taken out in the second period. Upset, Roy told Montreal it was his last game for the team. A few days later, he was in Colorado, helping the Avs win their first Stanley Cup title. To this day, Roy sweaters permeate the Pepsi Center on game days. Hes that revered. Roy had his number retired by the Avs a decade ago and a banner to commemorate the achievement now hangs from the arenas rafters, alongside those of Peter Forsberg (21), Ray Bourque (77) and his new partner in turning around this franchise, Sakic (19). The team has quite a bit to build around, too, especially since the Avs have a young nucleus in place with Matt Duchene, Ryan OReilly and captain Gabriel Landeskog all under 23. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
