BOISE, Idaho -- On the verge of another win over a Pac-12 team on its home field, Boise State nearly crumbled in the final minutes.Fortunately the Broncos did enough over the first three quarter to hold on.Jeremy McNichols rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns, Tyler Horton returned his first career interception 85 yards for a touchdown and Boise State held on in the fourth quarter for a 31-28 win over Washington State on Saturday night.Brett Rypien threw for 299 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown to Thomas Sperbeck, but was intercepted twice in the fourth quarter, giving Washington State chances until the final play when Luke Falks desperation heave was batted down.Boise State (2-0) won its 34th straight regular season non-conference home game, knocking off the last out of conference team to win on The Blue.We did not face adversity in our first game. ... We got a chance to do that tonight, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.Falk was 55-of-71 passing for 480 yards and four touchdowns, but it took three quarters before he could beat the Broncos throwing downfield, hitting Tavares Martin Jr. on a 50-yard TD late in the third quarter that pulled the Cougars within 24-14. Rypien quickly answered, completing three straight passes for 68 yards before McNichols second touchdown run pushed the Broncos lead 31-14 on the first play of the fourth quarter.That proved to be enough -- barely.There were definitely some uncharacteristic mistakes I made tonight, Rypien said. But we won. Were 2-0.Falk rallied in the fourth quarter, throwing touchdown passes of 14 yards -- on fourth down -- to Jamal Morrow and hitting Gabe Marks on a 33-yard TD with 4:17 left right after Rypien was intercepted to pull within 31-28. Washington State got the ball back with a minute remaining after poor clock management by the Broncos, but the Cougars had their own problems with the clock and settled for Falks final throw that fell short.Leach ripped into his teams toughness after the loss, saying the Cougars outplayed Boise State in every other category.We outperformed them in a ton of different ways but were not tough enough, Leach said. And as a football team we have to get (a lot) tougher and right now were not very tough.Washington State (0-2) was trying to match what it did in 2001 when the Cougars won 41-20 in Boise and rebound from being stunned by FCS power Eastern Washington in last weeks opener. But the Cougars got off to an awful start with Falk getting intercepted on their opening drive deep in Boise State territory and watching Horton manage to stay inbound and sprint 85 yards to give the Broncos the early lead.It was the first of six drives by the Cougars that reached Boise State territory and failed to end in points. The Cougars had a field goal attempt blocked, punted twice and turned the ball over on downs twice inside the Broncos half of the field, the last coming when Morrow was stuffed on fourth-and-1 at the 46 with 5:12 remaining.TAKEAWAYSWashington State: Any momentum from last years nine wins and a bowl victory is gone for the Cougars. They were able to rebound a year ago after losing to FCS Portland State in the opener by winning at Rutgers, but an 0-2 start this year may be difficult to overcome with the upcoming schedule.Boise State: The Broncos remembered how to win at home. Boise State lost its final two home games of last season, the first time losing consecutive home games since 1997. They made sure it wasnt three straight.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Broncos were on the edge of cracking the Top 25 last week. Theres a chance the Broncos could slide in this week, although the fourth quarter rally by Washington State may have taken away some votes. Either way, if the Broncos can win at Oregon State in two weeks, they should be able to break through at that point.UP NEXTWashington State: The Cougars close out their non-conference schedule as Idaho makes the 8-mile trip across the state border to face the Cougars.Boise State: The Broncos get the week off before facing a second straight Pac-12 school, traveling to Oregon State on Sept. 24.LAST WORDIt was a good test for us.

Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. He may have been barely awake after a redeye flight from Moscow but Sachin Siwach probably didnt mind the attention he was receiving in New Delhi on Monday. As only the third Indian - and the first in six years -- to win a gold medal at the Youth Boxing World Championships, it was deserved.So the 17-year-old, who had claimed the 49-kg light flyweight title in St. Petersburg on Saturday, darted from one to another. He collected a Rs.1 lakh cheque from the new boxing federation chief, and posed for pictures with the Sports Minister Vijay Goel. On Tuesday in his village of Mithathal, near Bhiwani another ceremony has been planned.All this might have seemed very unlikely at the start of the year when Siwach missed a national level youth tournament that had been organized to select talent for a national camp ahead of the Asian youth championships.As the gold medallist and best boxer at the Haryana State Championships, Siwach had expected to participate and likely dominate the national tournament in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh. However a severe bout of typhoid fever meant those plans came to nothing.With the Indian boxing federation alternatively in a state of limbo or non-existent for the last four years, tournaments of any kind were few and far between. Siwach might well have lost his chance for selection to the camp if it wasnt for the fact that he had been one of the regular performers at both the domestic and international level. Siwach, who has not lost a bout at the national level since the 2011 sub-juniors (where he lost in the quarterfinals), had won a bronze medal at the 2015 world junior championships.It was that previous international win that convinced the selectors to include him in the national camp at Aurangabad. Siwach hadnt yet recovered completely from his illness when he took part in the selection trials for the Asian Championships. He beat amongst others the winner of the national tournament in Bhimavaram (incidentally the same boxer he had beaten to claim the Haryana state title) to qualify for the Kazakhstan tournament.Siwach was still feeling the effects of his illness at Pavlodar. While he usually had to cut 2-3 kilos to make weight, he was a kilo under the limit of the lightest of weight divisions at the Asian Championships. He would lose in the quarterfinals 2-1 to the home boxer who would go on to win the tournament.I was very weak going into the tournament but I was still very sad that I lost. Four of my teammates won medals (three silver and one bronze) and I had returned empty handed, Siwach said. He would get his chance at the World Youth Championships. With no illness hampering his training, Siwach got three months of training at the Hawa Singh Academy in Bhiwani. It wasnt as if the academy is flush with facilities .Bahut dikkat hoti hai (its is very difficult), says Siwach of the stable where 150 odd boxers train on a makeshift rings made of stones and ropes. But what the Hawa Singh Acadeemy lacks in resources it more than makes up for in results.dddddddddddd The girls from the academy have regularly been in the news.Pooja Rani and Saweety Boora have won medals at the Asian Championships while another two - Neeraj and Jyoti - had won gold and silver respectively at the recently concluded National Womens championships in Haridwar. At the World Championships in St. Petersburg, Siwach had no easy fight. He faced junior world champion Cosmin Girleanu of Romania in the pre-quarters and Cubas Jose Grinan in the final.However Siwach claims his hardest fight was in the quarterfinal against little heralded Cheng-yu Hsu of Chinese Taipei. It was in my mind. I was desperate to beat him because I knew if I did, I had a medal. If I lost against him, all my effort till then would have been a waste, he says. The bout with the Taipei boxer was indeed the closest of Siwachs bouts - he took a narrow 3-2 split decision.There were no nerves, only clinical boxing in the dominant 5-0 wins against Girleanu and Grinan. Siwach says he would shoot videos of the two opponents and send them to Sanjay Sheoran - his coach at Bhiwani. Sheoran - incidentally, the son of the legendary Hawa Singh would then plan out a course of action.The plan was simple.At 58 Siwach is easily amongst the tallest boxers in his division and enjoys a significant reach advantage. All he had to do was never to get involved in close in fighting. He needed to punch from range and keep moving. He didnt need to throw a lot of combination. Lead with a left jab and then follow with the right cross and left hook, says Sheoran. And while stick and move sounds simple enough, tactics are often forgotten in the heat of the ring. Siwach despite his age was able to stick to his strategy.He has a very cool head. He is a very technical boxer. He doesnt take a lot of pressure but is able to focus when he has to, says G Manoharan, chief coach at the youth national camp and who accompanied the team to St. Petersburg. A clear mind is just one of the many gifts, Manoharan believes Siwach possess.He has light bones, says Manoharan. That means he has a major height and reach advantage over his opponents in light flyweight. If he wants he can even move up to flyweight (52kg) or even bantamweight (56kg) and still have the reach advantage, says Manoharan. Siwach isnt moving from light flyweight any time soon though. From the highs of winning the world title, Siwach will soon find himself in less rarefied settings when he prepares for his next tournament - the youth nationals - in Delhi in December.I will probably take a couple of days off and then I will be back training, he says. His goals are higher. I want to compete at the 2020 Olympics. It is the youth boxers who will come of age at Tokyo. I think it will be my chance then, he says confidently. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
