PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Janarion Grant scored three touchdowns and Rutgers overcame an early scare against Howard in posting a 52-14 victory on Saturday, giving new coach Chris Ash his first win.Grant resurrected a stunned Rutgers (1-1) from a 14-0 first quarter deficit with an 84-yard kickoff return, and he was in the center of a 21-point third quarter with touchdown runs of 58 and 21 yards.Quarterback Chris Laviano added three touchdown passes as the Scarlet Knights scored the final 52 points in wearing down Howard (0-2), an FCS opponent that was facing its second straight Big Ten Conference opponent.Grant was the difference in this game in which Rutgers rushed for 375 yards and had 512 yards in total offense. The senior wide receiver finished with six rushes for 106 yards, two receptions for 24 yards and three kickoff returns for 119 yards. His longer rushing TD came on a direct snap in a wildcat formation and was aided by a great block by Laviano.Laviano (11 of 22 for 137 yards and an interception) had touchdown passes of 22 yards to Andre Patton, 7 to Carlton Agudosi and 29 to Jawuan Harris.Kalen Johnson threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Robert Mercer on the opening drive of the game for Howard and he scored on a 15-yard run less than two minute later. It was set up by an interception by Alonte Dunn on Rutgers first play from scrimmage.The Bison gained 248 yards in the first half and five in the second.THE TAKEAWAYHOWARD: Bison coach Gary Harrell may be second-guessing himself after taking out Johnson. He led scoring drives on the first two series and was then replaced by redshirt freshman Jason Collins for the third series, which came after Grants kickoff return. Harrell alternated his quarterbacks against Maryland and he did it again Saturday. The problem was Howard never got going again. Still, the Bison showed signs they will be able to compete in the MEAC and do better than their 1-10 mark a year agoRUTGERS: Despite the lopsided win, Rutgers is going to struggle this year. Howard gashed the defense with its running game and their quarterbacks had no problem finding open receivers. Against better competition the Scarlet Knights are going to be handled easily, much like No. 8 Washington did in the season opener. The most interesting aspect was that Rutgers used freshman quarterback Tylin Oden in the fourth quarter and he showed the athleticism that is needed in the power spread offense.UP NEXTHOWARD: The Bison play their home opener against Hampton on Sept. 17.RUTGERS: The Scarlet Knights stay home and face New Mexico on Sept. 17.---AP College Football Website: www.collegefootball.orgClearance Custom Soccer Jerseys . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

Double Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar paid tribute to wrestler Sakshi Maliks bronze medal performance in Rio saying that it would show the way ahead for women wrestlers in India and also challenge theories about athletes requiring several Olympics under their belt in order to win medals.Sakshi has done a great service for women wrestling, she has shown the women wrestlers of the country the way, Sushil said while speaking to CNNNews18 this morning. She never left her confidence and her drive. Had she given up, she wouldnt have won. The person who fights to the last, wins. She was outstanding. Sushil said, It is like a service she has done the country because the people of India were just pining for a medal.What was even more remarkable about Sakshis medal-winning performance was the fact that Rio happened to be her first Olympic Games. Sushil, who won his first Olympic medal in his second Olympics in Beijing 2008, said that a debut Olympic medal was not impossible. First Olympics or last doesnt make a difference. What matters is how are you performing? How are you winning? How did youu lose? That is what is important.dddddddddddd The idea that you will win a medal only in your second or third Olympics is nothing. What matters is your focus and the work you put in. Saskhis focus has been entirely on her wrestling and she has given her life to it. Who does the maximum work gets the medal.India has, following Sakshis bronze, now won three repechage medals in wrestling at the Olympics. It was to begin with Sushils Beijing bronze, the tipping point for Indian wrestling. The repechage rounds Sushil said, tend to give a wrestler a certain clarity of purpose. Once you miss an opportunity and you are given another, then it is like you get a new understanding of your situation. The repechage becomes he said, your only chance.You have got this opportunity, put your whole self into it. It is why you become filled with energy and purpose. Because you know that either you will achieve what you have worked so long for or will set yourself back again. ' ' '
