HOUSTON -- About the only thing that slowed down the sixth-ranked Houston Cougars on Saturday was bad weather that led to a 3 1/2-hour delay.The Cougars easily overcame the absence of injured quarterback Greg Ward Jr. as well as the marathon lightning delay for a 42-0 victory over Lamar.Im really proud of the entire team really for handling that kind of adversity, coach Tom Herman said. We train for that kind of chaos.With Ward on the sideline nursing an injured right shoulder, backup Kyle Postma ran 39 yards for a score in the first quarter in a game that lasted six hours, 18 minutes.The Cougars had three players top 100 yards rushing for the first time since 1974, and piled up 381 yards on the ground. Kevrin Justice had 111 yards and two touchdowns, freshman Mulbah Car added 109 yards and a score in his debut and Postma scrambled for a career-high 106 yards with two TDs.Dark clouds descended on the stadium soon after Postmas score, and a lightning strike forced the game to be suspended at 11:36 a.m. with 3:13 left in the first quarter.Multiple lightning strikes followed, pushing the game back again and again. It wasnt raining at the beginning of the delay, and fans remained in their seats despite a warning to move to the concourse. It was a festive atmosphere, with many fans chanting and dancing, and at one point doing the wave.But it began to rain at about 1:30 p.m. and chased all but a few fans out of their seats. By the time the game resumed at 3:12 p.m., the once mostly-full stands were dotted with many empty seats. The official time of the delay was three hours, 36 minutes.The Cougars passed the time during the delay receiving some extra coaching, listening to music and even dancing. They also had some chicken sandwiches delivered as lunchtime came and went with no end to the delay in sight.Everybody made the most of it, linebacker Steven Taylor said.It didnt take Houston (2-0) long to get going after the delay, and a touchdown dive by Justice made it 14-0 with less than a minute left in the first quarter.That score was the first of three straight touchdowns, which included a second score from Justice, which pushed the lead to 28-0 at halftime.We kind of wore down, Lamar coach Ray Woodard said. I was proud of our effort, but we just got outmanned today.The Cougars answered those who wondered if they would suffer a letdown after their huge win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma last week, or be looking past the FCS Cardinals (0-2) toward Thursdays American Athletic Conference opener at Cincinnati.Herman said that Ward would have played had Saturdays game been a conference game and that hed return against Cincinnati.He believes his team can be much better despite coasting to Saturdays win.To win a game 42-0 and still have that much work to do is a definite eye-opener for our guys, he said.THE TAKEAWAYLAMAR: The Cardinals should benefit from the experience of facing a top 10 team when they open Southland Conference play next week.HOUSTON: The Cougars did what they were supposed to do against a lesser opponent and were able to give some of their banged-up starters a little bit of a break with a quick turnaround.YES, THEYRE RELATEDIn case youre wondering, Lamar quarterback Carson Earp, who started but threw for just 14 yards while splitting time with Andrew Allen, is related to infamous Old West lawman Wyatt Earp.The senior and the man known for his part in the legendary battle at the O.K. Corral are distant cousins.The propensity for people to refer to quarterbacks as gunslingers seems a little silly when compared to the likes of Wyatt Earp, who was literally a gunslinger in the wild West.TOUGH DAYThe only area where Houston struggled on Saturday was in the kicking game. Ty Cummings was 12 for 12 in his career before missing field goals attempts from 31 and 25 yards against Lamar.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Cougars should maintain their position in the poll after getting a lopsided win against a team they were supposed to beat.UP NEXTLAMAR: The Cardinals host Sam Houston State on Saturday.HOUSTON: The Cougars play at Cincinnati Thursday.LAST WORDIt was 511? It seemed like about 1,511, Woodard said about Houstons total yardage.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Adidas Canada Sale .

Adidas Outlet Canada . PETERSBURG, Fla.Rising Pune Supergiants severely dented Delhi Daredevils playoff hopes, with a nine-wicket win via Duckworth-Lewis in a rain-affected IPL clash. Adam Zampa again starred for Pune, taking 3-21 two games after his stunning 6-19 in a four-run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad.Supergiants seamer Ashok Dinda (3-20) too was impressive with three wickets as Delhi managed only 121-6 - helped by Chris Morris (38no off 20 balls) taking 22 from the final over.Pune got off to a stirring start in reply, scoring 30 from the first three overs, and although Usman Khawaja (19 off 13) fell soon after, they were well ahead of the rate required when rain intervened twice in their run-chase.The second stoppage came with Pune 76-1 after 11 overs and no further play was possible, meaning the Supergiants, who cant qualify for the playoffs, at least move off the bottom of the table, while Delhi stay sixth, slipping further adrift of the top four.MS Dhonis decision to bowl first after winning the toss was rewarded when Dinda trapped the dangerous Quinton de Kock lbw in the third over - Delhi sluggishly only managing four runs from the first three.Karun Nair hit back-to-back boundaries in the fifth over to help his sides cause, before Dinda added a second victim in Shreyas Iyer.Nair steadilyy accumulated 41 from 43 balls, but batsmen continued to struggle at the other end - Zampa removing Sanju Samson (10) stumped and Rishabh Pant to a top-edged slog, before accounting for Nair too, albeit to a questionable lbw decision in the 14th over.dddddddddddd. MS Dhoni was rewarded when he won the toss and decided Rising Pune Supergiants should bowl first JP Duminy (14) fell in the penultimate over to Dinda, but Morris final-over assault - two fours and two sixes smashed from the last four balls - at least gave Delhi something to bowl at.Punes start with the bat was in stark contrast to Delhis, Khawaja smashing three fours off Zaheer Khan in the third over.He fell to Morris four balls later, but Ajinkya Rahane (42no off 36) and George Bailey (8no) cruised along despite the rain breaks and Pune eventually secured a well-deserved win.Catch more IPL action on Wednesday as play-off hunting Royal Challengers Bangalore play struggling Kings XI Punjab.
