PROVO, Utah -- Nick Emery scored 22 points, Eric Mika had 17 and TJ Haws added 16 as Brigham Young defeated Colorado 79-71 on Saturday night.Colorado (7-3) missed 11 of its final 12 shot attempts of the game. The Buffaloes led 62-61 with 7:50 left, but BYU (7-3) seized control with a 12-1 run and held on for its second win in as many games.I really felt like tonight was one of the best all-around performances of this group, Cougars coach Dave Rose said. Every guy didnt have a great game as far as numbers were concerned, but every guy that played gave supreme effort.The Buffs trailed for most of the game, but led 58-55 after a jumper from Wesley Gordon with 9:43 left in the game. But BYU freshman Steven Beo, making just his seventh career appearance, drained a 3-pointer from the right corner on the Cougars next possession to tie the game. After Thomas Akyazili hit a 3-pointer for Colorado, the Buffs didnt hit another shot for more than eight minutes as BYU pulled away.The Buffaloes went 9 for 29 from the field in the second half, including 3 for 13 from 3-point range.We turned the ball over and we didnt get good movement -- we were standing around a lot, said Colorados Derrick White, who led the Buffaloes with 21 points.The Cougars outrebounded the Buffaloes 46-31, including a 14-7 advantage on the offensive glass.Weve all just got to rebound collectively, said Colorado junior George King, who had 14 points and a team-high 12 rebounds. What do we say at Colorado? Defend and rebound. We didnt do a good job defending in the second half and we got beat on the boards.BYU was 9 for 19 from 3-point range, including a 4-for-5 effort by Haws.Yoeli Childs had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Cougars. Xavier Johnson had 17 points for the Buffaloes.BIG PICTUREColorado: The Buffs lost a true road game for the first time this season, thanks in large part to a stretch of more than eight minutes late in the second half during which Colorado failed to hit a field goal.BYU: The Cougars won back-to-back games for the first time since Nov. 19-21, when BYU defeated Coastal Carolina and Saint Louis to cap a four-game, season-opening winning streak.UNDER THE WEATHERMika went just 3 for 11 from the field, but was 11 for 13 from the foul line, snagged seven rebounds, dished out six assists and blocked three shots despite battling through an illness. The performance came on the heels of a 26-point outing Wednesday against Weber State. Erics had a tough week, Rose said. He played Wednesday night and then he played again (Saturday). The days in between ... hes had a tough week.A LONG TIME COMINGThe Cougars win was their first over Colorado since Dec. 17, 1955, and just their seventh in 24 meetings with the Buffaloes.

Two of the top young running backs in the NFL will share the field in San Diego on Sunday.And both players were considered huge question marks entering the season after disappointing rookie campaigns.San Diegos Melvin Gordon is finally living up to his star billing, while Miamis Jay Ajayi came out of nowhere to become one of the NFLs top rushers. Those developments add plenty of luster to Sundays matchup (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS) between the Chargers (4-5) and Dolphins (4-4).Gordon is coming off the top game of his career, a 196-yard rushing effort against the Tennessee Titans that boosted him to third in the NFL with 768 yards. He also leads the league with 11 touchdowns (nine rushing, two receiving) after failing to find the end zone as a rookie.Ajayi is in the midst of a superb three-game frenzy in which he has rushed for 529 yards, a stretch that saw him become just the fourth player in NFL history to post back-to-back 200-yard outings. He ranks sixth in the NFL with 646 rushing yards and is averaging a sparkling 6.0 yards per carry.Turns out the two 23-year-olds have a close friendship, stemming from working out together prior to the 2015 NFL Draft.Im always checking on Melvin every week to see how he does, Ajayi said. Im so proud of him to come back from last year, where he wasnt able to score a touchdown and a lot of people were kind of starting to write him off a little bit.Through talking with him through the offseason and everything, he really put his head down and did a lot of things to set himself up for a great year. Hes starting to showcase the ability that everyone knew he had, and its exciting to see how well he has been doing.Gordons rushing output against Tennessee was the ninth most in Chargers history, and he added 65 receiving yards to give him 261 total yards.He already has passed last seasons total of 641 rushing yards. Gordon also has erased last seasons image as a fumbler -- he lost four of the five he put on the ground -- and coach Mike McCoy now repeatedly refers to him as the teams bell cow.Every guy wants to make a play, Gordon said. Every guy wants you to look at him and think, I can count on this guy. Thats how we all want to be. When you get the opportunity to have the ball in your hands, its your job to make something happen.Ajayi is making things happen as wwell after opening the season as a healthy inactive against the Seattle Seahawks.dddddddddddd Arian Fosters injury issues -- and eventual retirement -- opened the door for Ajayi, who responded with outings of 204 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 214 versus the Buffalo Bills and 111 against the New York Jets during the clubs three-game winning streak.The play of rookie left guard Laremy Tunsil helped fuel Miamis rushing success. Getting Ajayi loose could be a challenge on Sunday with San Diego ranking fifth in the NFL in rushing defense at 85.3 yards per game.Rookie defensive end Joey Bosa is making an impact on the Chargers defense, as he has four sacks in five games. Cornerback Casey Hayward, tied for the NFL interceptions lead with five, and outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, who has a team-high five sacks, also are enjoying standout seasons.San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers is feeding off the improved run game, throwing for 2,560 yards and 17 touchdowns against seven interceptions.Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is experiencing a relatively quiet campaign by passing for 1,877 yards and eight touchdowns against seven interceptions. He has passed for just 605 yards during the three-game winning streak that has been highlighted by Ajayis emergence.Miami ranks just 30th in defending the run (136.1 yards per game) despite the presence of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Veteran defensive end Cameron Wake has a team-best five sacks, including four in the past three games.The contest also marks the first time that McCoy and Miamis Adam Gase will square off as head coaches. The two spent four years together on the Denver Broncos staff before McCoy became the Chargers coach in 2013.Another backdrop is that the contest is San Diegos first at Qualcomm Stadium since the citys voters overwhelmingly said no to a ballot measure to fund a $1.8 billion downtown stadium. The franchises future home is once again in limbo.As you can imagine, were all disappointed, Rivers said. In the midst of a season, you cant get too caught up in it.Rivers passed for 311 yards and three touchdown passes last December when the Chargers sailed to a 30-14 victory over the Dolphins. ' ' '
