(STATS) -- There wasnt much Wofford and The Citadel, two Southern Conference rivals that run the triple option on offense, werent going to know about each other on Saturday.Wofford true freshman Joe Newman was somewhat of the exception.He came off the bench when starting quarterback Brandon Goodson was injured in the second half, scoring on a 36-yard keeper in the fourth quarter to provide the winning margin of Woffords 17-3 victory at No. 6 seed The Citadel in the second round of the FCS playoffs.The Citadel (10-2) had gone unbeaten in the SoCon, but Wofford (10-3) avenged a regular-season loss while advancing to play at Youngstown State (10-3) in the quarterfinals next Saturday.I truly believe that we have a team that for whatever reason believes so strongly in themselves, said Woffords 29th-year coach Mike Ayers.I love this group of kids. Some of them are real goofy, but they are young. The one thig they are not goofy about is when they go on that field and play. I cant say enough about our coaches and our preparation.The Terriers have 28 seniors on their roster, but Newman played a key role in the first important action of his career. He appeared in only three regular-season games.When Goodson was injured on the Terriers second possession of the third quarter, Newman entered the game.It was tied 3-3 in the fourth quarter when he raced around left end for a go-ahead touchdown with 10:28 left to play.The Citadel ground its way to the Wofford 8 on its next possession, but the drive stalled and Cody Clark missed his third field goal of the game from 32 yards out. He entered 12 of 16 on the season.A Lorenzo Long 43-yard run put Wofford in field-goal range, but David Marvins 46-yard attempt was partially blocked with 4:23 left, giving The Citadel one more possession.The Bulldogs got into Wofford territory, but Terriers defensive back Devin Watson intercepted Dominique Allen at his teams 38 and raced untouched for a 62-yard pick-six to seal the upset.Neither team found the end zone until the fourth quarter. Clark converted a 23-yard field goal midway through the first quarter. Marvin kicked a 46-yarder in the third quarter to even the game.The two rushing attacks -- The Citadel entered the game ranked first in the FCS and Wofford was fifth -- finished below their season averages. Wofford finished with 223 yards, led by Longs 90. The Citadel had 236 yards, led by Tyler Renews 76 and Allens 60.Wofford trails The Citadel in the all-time series, closing its deficit to 41-28-1. Hydro Flask Water Bottle Sale . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Hydro Flask Sport Cap Bottle . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. http://www.hydroflaskaustraliasale.com/hydro-flask-18-oz-sale/wide-mouth.html . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front.

PHILADELPHIA -- Josh Huff returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, Carson Wentz outplayed Sam Bradford and the Philadelphia Eagles beat Minnesota 21-10 on Sunday, handing the Vikings their first loss of the season.The Eagles (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak while the rested Vikings (5-1) hardly looked like an unbeaten team after having a bye.I thought we played embarrassing in two phases, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. Im very disappointed in the performance.Bradford returned to Philadelphia for the first time since his trade to Minnesota eight days before the season opener paved the way for Wentz to start. Bradford was 7-7 in his only season with the Eagles and won his first four starts for the Vikings.But the Eagles pressured and harassed their former quarterback all game, sacked him six times, and forced his first three turnovers this season.I thought he missed some throws that he normally makes, but he got hit a lot, Zimmer said. Its probably hard to evaluate his performance when (the line) looks like a sieve.Wentz also struggled early, tossing two interceptions. But he recovered to lead the Eagles on a couple of scoring drives, including a 5-yard TD pass to Dorial Green-Beckham in the third quarter for an 18-3 lead.Thats a great defense we played, Wentz said. I have to be smarter with the football. We found a way to win. Thats huge for us.Both teams had a sloppy start.After combining for only three turnovers in 10 games, the teams traded giveaways on five consecutive series in the first quarter and totaled eight turnovers. The Vikings started two straight drives inside the red zone, but squandered both chances.Blair Walsh hit a 48-yard field goal to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead before Huff broke loose for his second career touchdown return. Huff sprinted up the right side, ran through Walshs attempted arm tackle at the 40, raced untouched to the end zone and capped it with a somersault. Wentz ran in from the 1 for the 2-point conversion to give the Eagles an 8-3 lead.QUOTABLEVikings: T Jeremiah Sirles: If Sam doesnt feel comfortable back there, its our fault. Its not one guys fault. Its five guys fault.Eagles: Huff said: Hes a kicker. I couldnt let a kicker tackle me or Id be mad at myself.FANTASY STATSVikings: Bradford was 24-41, 224 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Matt Asiata had 55 yards rushing. Corrdarrelle Patterson had seven catches for 67 yards and a TD.ddddddddddddEagles: Wentz was 16-28, 138 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs. Ryan Mathews had 56 yards rushing. Huff caught four passes for 39 yards.MISSED OPPORTUNITIESThe Vikings had the ball at the Eagles 2 after Andrew Sendejo intercepted Wentzs pass and returned it 16 yards. But Bradford tossed his first pick when Rodney McLeod caught a lofted pass in the end zone.The Eagles gave it right back when Darren Sproles fumbled Wentzs handoff. But on the first play from the Philadelphia 17, Connor Barwin stripped Bradford and Malcolm Jenkins recovered. Jenkins returned it 76 yards for a score, but he was ruled down by contact after a video review.Wentz threw another interception on the next series, a diving play by Xavier Rhodes. But Minnesotas offense didnt do anything again.Down 18-3, the Vikings couldnt get a yard on third and fourth down from the Eagles 6 early in the fourth quarter.GOING FOR ITDoug Pederson took a point off the board after a roughing penalty on the Vikings against Caleb Sturgis and went for the 2-point conversion. Wentz ran it in up the middle on a draw.Pederson went for fourth-and-2 from the Vikings 44 with 1:21 left in the first half. Wentz gained 6 yards on a keeper and the drive ended with Sturgis making a 35-yard field goal for an 11-3 lead.For me, it was an easy situation and I had trust in our guys, Pederson said about the risky calls.INJURIESEagles: CB Ron Brooks was carted off the field after injuring his right ankle trying to make a tackle in the first quarter. Brooks was immediately ruled out and the injury appeared serious. ... LT Jason Peters didnt finish the game after injuring his biceps. ... LB Kamu Grugier-Hill came out with a hamstring injury.Vikings: Sendejo didnt return after injuring his ankle in the first quarter.FRANCHISE FIRSTThe Eagles have returned kickoffs for touchdowns in consecutive games for the first time in team history. Wendell Smallwood returned one 86 yards for a TD in last weeks 27-20 loss at Washington. Huff had a 107-yard TD return as a rookie in 2014.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
