CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginias players are coming off a last-second loss that stretched their road losing streak to 17, but the Cavaliers feel they are on the cusp of ending the skid.Their next chance comes Saturday when they host Central Michigan (3-0).We get more hungry each game because we know were almost there, defensive end Andrew Brown, coming off his best college game with 3 1/2 tackles for loss and a sack, said this week. Weve just got to make it happen.Virginia lost 13-10 at Connecticut last Saturday when backup placekicker Alex Furbank, playing in the first football game of his career, missed a 20-yard field goal that would have forced overtime as time expired.New Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall isnt letting players hang their heads. Brown said he does things at team meetings to keep the attitude upbeat, like showing video of funny plays that happened.But center and co-captain Jackson Matteo said the coach is not all happy talk.Coach Mendenhall always says its up to us, he said. When everyone chooses to collectively put everything towards every single practice, deliberate practice, those practices will lead to the game and when we get to the game it will be second nature to us. Well just go out there. Well just play. Its going to be so special.The Chippewas, of the Mid-American Conference, impressed their coach John Bonamego last week by following up their last-second victory at Oklahoma State with another focused effort in a 44-21 win against UNLV.Its very important to be able to handle success, especially as you start to string these together, Bonamego said. It becomes very easy to maybe kind of be intoxicated you success or maybe let up a little bit.Quarterback Cooper Rush threw for 352 yards and six touchdowns on just 20 completions in the rout.Bonamego, though, has also been impressed by what hes seen from Virginia.A wounded animal is always the most dangerous, the coach, in his second season at his alma mater, said. Im sure theyll pull out all stops and well be prepared for anything and everything.---Some other things to watch when Central Michigan visits Virginia:OPPOSITES ATTRACT: The Chippewas will arrive averaging 41 points and allowing just 17 per game, both in the top 30 nationally. Virginia allows 31.3 points and scores 18.7 per game.DEFENSIVE TEST: Virginia struggled in its first two games adapting to Mendenhalls 3-4 defensive alignment before rallying against the Huskies. A high-powered offense with a veteran quarterback in Rush will provide a test, but Mendenhall said after scouting the Chippewas, the focus went completely back, and its on us. Rush has 78 career touchdown passes and 12 300-plus yard passing games in his career.KICKING: Furbank, a former soccer player at Division III Randolph-Macon, was forced into duty with regular kicker Dylan Sims nursing a groin injury. Sims still handled kickoffs, and Furbank made a 23-yard field goal and an extra point, but missed the crucial kick at the end when Virginia had to rush to even get the kick off. Mendenhall said when Sims is healthy again, the two will continue competing against each other on a weekly basis.PENALTIES: Mendenhall wasnt exactly thrilled when his team was not called for a single penalty it its opener, viewing the number as representing and absence of aggression. He hasnt been exactly happy in the two games since, either: The Cavaliers have been called for 10 penalties in each for a total of 193 yards.THIRTY-ONE YEARS: Central Michigan, 0-13 against ACC programs, is seekings its first 4-0 start since the 1985 season when Bonamego was a walk-on wide receiver and backup quarterback. That team went on to finish 7-3.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootbal.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjrJerry Rice Jersey .

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St.FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyders 25th regular season, and to another bowl game.Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday.We just did what we do. I dont think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them, said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. Im just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong.Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games.To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us, Silmon said.Kansas State ran for 336 yards, its sixth consecutive 200-yard game on the ground. The Wildcats have 17 rushing TDs their past four games.TCU (6-6, 4-5) will play in its 14th bowl with Gary Patterson, even after finishing the regular season without a winning record for only the third time in the coachs 16 full seasons and being held without a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2006.Really across the board we got thrown around by everybody, Patterson said. Weve got to grow up on offense. Until they do that, we wont win many games against good people.The Wildcats went ahead for good when Ertz broke free for a 32-yard TD run in the second quarter to make it 10-3.Right after halftime, Ertz threw a quick slant to Byron Pringle, who caught the ball near Kansas States 30 and took off sprinting down the middle of the field on the 83-yard catch-and-run score. He escaped a defender diving at his ankles before going the final 20 yards.Simlon had both of his TDs after halftime, including a 5-yard score when he avoided two tacklers in the backfield and then bulled through another defender.I think maybe the second half might have as been as good a half as we have played, Snyder saaid.dddddddddddd Defensively, we played well across the board throughout the ball game.THE TAKEAWAYKansas St.: With Ertz effectively leading the way, the Wildcats continue to pound teams with their running game. Ertz has three 100-yard games and 99 in another in the last six games. Snyder said the Wildcats have gotten better overall each game.TCU: Where has that fast-paced, high-scoring offense gone? TCU hadnt been held without a touchdown in a decade, since a 12-3 home win over Texas Tech in 2006. The Horned Frogs also had only six points in their previous home game -- They had an extra point blocked after a touchdown in a 31-6 loss to Oklahoma State two weeks ago.HE SAID ITWere going to have to grow up or go recruit. Thats what I told them Im doing tomorrow, Im going recruiting. Got to grow up. Cant be shaking your head and putting your head down when you get beat. You got to grow up. Thats what 4-year-olds do. Thats not what men do. You got to grow up. -- Patterson.BETTER THAN PREDICTEDKansas State was the preseason pick to finish eighth in the Big 12. The Wildcats instead finished fourth. Every year it seems like we come out and prove people wrong, linebacker Trent Tanking said.TAKEN AWAYBoth teams thought they had defensive touchdowns. TCU defensive end Josh Carraway scooped up what initially was ruled a fumble by Ertz and returned it 6 yards. Replay overturned the call to an incomplete pass. In the fourth quarter, officials ruled that TCU running back Kyle Hicks forward progress had been stopped before he fumbled and K-State took the ball to the end zone.UP NEXTKansas State and TCU both wait to find out for sure Sunday where they will be going for their bowl games. While the Wildcats will likely return to Texas for their bowl game, the Horned Frogs could also be playing an SEC team in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
