GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Navys ground attack was relentless, and its defense definitely got the job done when it mattered.And now Navy has something it has never had before -- a division championship.Will Worth rushed for 159 yards and four touchdowns and Shawn White added 150 yards and three scores as Navy walloped East Carolina 66-31 on Saturday.The win gave the Midshipmen (8-2, 6-1 AAC) the American Athletic Conferences West Division title and propelled them into the conference championship game, while the Pirates (3-8, 1-6) lost for the eighth time in their last nine games. Navy, which will be playing in its first conference title game, leads the all-time series 5-1.This feels great, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. Nobody gave us much respect this year, and our kids took that to heart all season. Our kids have kept their mouths quiet, and Im proud of the way theyve played. Were excited about this win.The result spoiled ECUs senior day celebration for Zay Jones, who passed former teammate and current Atlanta Falcon Justin Hardy for the FBS career receptions record.Jones caught 12 passes for 212 and two touchdowns, giving him 392 career catches. Jones broke Hardys old record of 387 catches -- for 4,541 yards and 35 touchdowns -- set two seasons ago.We fought hard, but this is one of those games, especially when you play against a team like Navy, ECUs first-year head coach Scottie Montgomery said. The two three-and-out possessions, scored touchdowns and the muffed kickoff return make it hard to get into the game when youre trying to steal possessions. Im just so happy for Zay. He has just been wonderful -- he had a seamless transition into this new staff and new situation and new mindset.Worth became the fifth player in Navy history to rush for over 1,000 yards and pass for over 1,000 in the same season. He rushed for over 100 yards in his sixth straight game.This is something were definitely excited about, Worth said. Weve just got to keep this thing rolling and finish it out strong. We just kind of got in a groove and everything was working for us. Just to be able to spread the ball around like that, it was all working.The 100-plus rushing totals from Worth and White marked the third straight game in which a duo of opposing runners broke the century mark against ECU.The O-line played their butts off and made a lot of big holes for me, White said. A-backs and wide receivers were on the outside making great blocks and I was just able to see it and read it. Those holes got really, really wide. Especially for a big guy like me.James Summers rushed for 134 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown, for the Pirates.Navys seniors became the Academys all-time winningest class at 37-13 over its four seasons so far. The 1909 (36-7-5) and 2015 classes (36-16) had jointly held the record.Navy was playing one day after U.S. Marshall Patrick Carothers, a father of five including freshman reserve linebacker Paul Carothers, was shot and killed while serving a warrant in rural southeast Georgia.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: The Mids triple-option offense is a death by a thousand cuts for all but the best opponents, and thats the way they like it. With a double-threat quarterback in Worth and a dominant fullback in White, Navy has scored 42 or more points six times this season.East Carolina: The Pirates put together plenty of offensive fireworks, but were being outrushed for over 100 yards per contest before getting crushed in that part of the game (483-181) on Saturday. Theyll get one more chance to play spoiler, and then run defense must be an off-season project.STAT LINENavys nine rushing touchdowns were the most ever against ECU, surpassing the record of eight set by the Mids in 2010. The Mids finished with 480 rushing yards on 68 carries, while their 113 passing yards were the most they have ever produced against the Pirates.UP NEXTNavy: The Midshipmen will visit SMU on Saturday, and then play in the AAC title game at the home of the higher seed on Dec. 3. The Army-Navy game is Dec. 10 in Baltimore, Maryland.East Carolina: The Pirates will close their season on Saturday at Temple. Brian Dawkins Eagles Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. Shareef Miller Youth Jersey . Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Randall-Cunningham-Jersey/ . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. Randall Cunningham Womens Jersey . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Brian Westbrook Womens Jersey .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. Several aces take the hill on Wednesdays full 15-game MLB slate, but are any of them worth using? We take a closer look at each of them and go over the best options on the mound and at the plate.PitchingEliteCorey Klubers projected Game Score trails Chris Sales by a point, but he gets top honors because of his matchup, as the Cleveland Indians and the Minnesota Twins continue a set in Progressive Field. That said, despite their recent losing ways, the Twins are still scoring runs. Its their pitching that has been suspect. In fact, Kluber gets the edge over Sale because he has a home game with Pat Dean as his mound opponent.Just when it seems Sales days of high strikeouts are history, he strings together five outings with 46 whiffs in 38? innings. The return to dominance will be put to the test when the Chicago White Sox?go into Comerica Park against the?Detroit Tigers, who have the second-fewest strikeouts against left-handers in the past month. That, combined with drawing Justin Verlander as his mound foe, drops Sale behind Kluber in terms of DFS potential. That said, neither Sale nor Kluber profile as great DFS investments, especially in tournaments.SolidVerlander has a home date with the Pale Hose. Though the importance of the win in DFS varies in accordance with the format and site, Verlander profiles as the top cash game option on the docket. The White Sox are below average versus righties, giving Verlander a good chance of tossing seven frames for the 17th time in 28 outings.David Phelps was a popular GPP pick last Friday night, and things were going swimmingly for three frames, until the San Diego Padres knocked him out in the fourth. Next up for the Miami Marlins right-hander is a road affair in Citi Field against the?New York Mets, who dont offer the same strikeout upside as the Friars. However, Phelps is still in play for GPP action.Gio Gonzalez, on the other hand, sets up nicely for GPP deployment with a date in Citizens Bank Park against the strikeout-prone Philadelphia Phillies. The hosts sport one of the leagues lowest weighted on-base average (wOBA) versus southpaws in tandem with a generous strikeout clip in this scenario.Steven Wright had an odd return from the disabled list last week, really struggling early before getting it together and ending on a strong note with five scoreless frames. Next up for the Boston Red Sox knuckleball artist are the Tampa Bay Rays in Fenway Park. Normally, the oppositions strikeout rate is paramount to the analysis, but it might not be as applicable in this case. Wright has not faced the Rays, though R.A. Dickey has started three games against them with mixed success. As usual with knuckleballers, you either believe or you dont. Ownership on Wright is usually low, so hes a contrarian option, though some might see the Rays high whiff rate and go for it.Felix Hernandez and Drew Smyly have been pitching well, but both are saddled with challenging road affairs. Hernandez leads the Seattle Mariners into Arlington, and Smyly and the Tampa Bay Rays draw the Red Sox. Consider them only as contrarian options.Well close out the solid section with the guy who fell one out short of a no-hitter in a 133-pitch effort: Giants lefty?Matt Moore. Most will avoid him based on the high pitch count and because he faces the Diamondbacks, who hit lefties well in their hitter-friendly venue. However, the Snakes fan at a 23 percent pace versus southpaws, so this could be a chance to get Moore with low ownership.StreamersNew York Yankees rookie?Luis Cessa?has tossed consecutive six-inning efforts, each with five strikeouts and one walk. The Kansas City Royals are hitting better over the second half, but if you need a mid-week boost, Cessa should be safe to use without putting ratios in jeopardy.Matt Wisler was a very popular acquisition in seasonal formats after stifling the Diamondbacks last time out. As someone who always seems to time Wislers good and bad outings wrong, I snickered at the pickups. However, considering Wisler will take on the meek San Diego Padres and their 25 percent strikeout rate against righties, I can sign off on using the Atlanta Braves righty Wednesday. Not only that, since lefties give Wisler the most trouble and the Friars arent especially strong from that side of the plate, I can see using Wissler in GPP play as opposed to stacking against him.ddddddddddddBartolo Colon usually hovers near but doesnt surpass the 50 percent cut-off we use to highlight possible spot starters. He is at 40 percent heading into his meeting with the Miami Marlins in the Big Apple, and it should be higher.St. Louis Cardinals?rookie righty Luke Weaver might not go deep into the contest with the Milwaukee Brewers in Miller Park, but if you need some whiffs, Weavers 9.6 K/9 meshes well with the hosts 25 percent strikeout clip versus righties.Ricky Nolasco is a below average hurler, but he doesnt beat himself with walks. When hes working at home in Angels Stadium, the runs-suppressing venue has him in play, especially against the below-average attack of the Cincinnati Reds.AvoidFour arms with very risky matchups land in the avoid tier based on the projected Game Score of 45 or below. If you need some help gauging the risk of someone youre interested that isnt covered in todays notes, please ask in the comment section below or send a tweet to @ToddZola.Maybe if Twins lefty Pat Dean were facing the Indians at home hed be worth the risk, but he is a risk by the lake. The Tribe has assembled a solid lineup with platoons and switch-hitters that are effective against all pitchers.Colorado Rockies rookie Jeff Hoffmans minor league numbers hinted he could be effective, even in Coors Field, and he might prove that correct. However, for now he still needs to prove it and is thus best left on the bench against the Los Angeles Dodgers.On the other end of that matchup is Dodgers righty?Ross Stripling. Although he has done a good job keeping the ball in the yard, hes too risky against the lefty-heavy Rockies lineup in Coors Field.Injuries to the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation have kept Ryan Vogelsong in the rotation. In some matchups, he could be in play, but not against the Chicago Cubs, especially in Wrigley Field.HittingAs hinted in the end of the pitching notes, theres a plethora of places to look for hitting. Youll want some exposure to Coors Field while filling in the blanks elsewhere. With Dodgers righty Stripling on the hill, Charlie Blackmon, David Dahl and Carlos Gonzalez are elevated for the home team with Gerardo Parra and Daniel Descalso in the mix. On the other side, Chase Utley, Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Reddick and Andrew Toles all enjoy the platoon bump over Hoffman.The non-Coors stack with the highest exposure will probably be the right-handed contingent of the Houston Astros facing Oakland Athletics fill-in southpaw Ross Detwiler. George Springer, Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Evan Gattis and Yulieski Gurriel make up one of the most daunting top six in the league.The other chalky stack will be Washington Nationals righties against southpaw Adam Morgan. Trea Turner, Jayson Werth, Anthony Rendon, Wilson Ramos and Ryan Zimmerman are a formidable unit.Part of the allure of the Indians lineup are three switch-hitters in play against all pitchers, namely Carlos Santana, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. With mediocre southpaw Dean on the hill, add Rajai Davis, Mike Napoli and Brandon Guyer to the list.Matt Garza has had issues with lefties, so while the St. Louis Cardinals are predominantly right-handed, finding a spot for Matt Carpenter or Brandon Moss gets some exposure. Though, if you want to be even more of a contrarian, try incorporating the likes of Jedd Gyorko, Stephen Piscotty and Jhonny Peralta from the right side as their ownership will be low on a slate with so many great options.Lastly, the Cubs are in play against almost every pitcher, let alone Vogelsong on the Wrigley Field rubber. Anthony Rizzo will be popular but as with the right-handed Redbirds, Kris Bryant and Addison Russell might have lower exposure than normal because they lack the platoon edge.Most likely to hit a homer: Carlos CorreaThe bigger challenge might be pegging which Astro hits more than one. Correa might not get multiple, but he has a good chance at knocking one out of Minute Maid Park.Most likely to steal a base: Travis JankowskiThe Padres run as soon as they get off the bus. Look for Jankowski to continue to pile up the pilfers. ' ' '
