AKRON, Ohio -- In a story Oct. 15 about the Western Michigan-Akron college football game, The Associated Press, based on information from the Western Michigan coach and television announcers, reported erroneously how Akron players destroyed an oar before the game to Western Michigans Row the Boat motivational mantra. Akron officials say an oar was broken into pieces, not burned.A corrected version of the story is below:No. 24 Western Michigan shuts out Zips 41-0Jarvion Franklin rushed for a school-record 281 yards and Zach Terrell threw for two scores and ran for two more as No. 24 Western Michigan -- ranked in the Top 25 this week for the first time in school history -- shut out Akron 41-0 on SaturdayBy MITCH STACYAP Sports WriterAKRON, Ohio -- Javarion Franklin and Zach Terrell made sure one of the biggest weeks in the 100-year history of the Western Michigan football ended on a high note.Franklin, a junior running back, rushed for a school-record 281 yards and quarterback Terrell threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more as No. 24 Western Michigan -- ranked in the Top 25 this week for the first time in school history -- shut out Akron 41-0 on Saturday.Corey Davis caught two touchdown passes to add to his career school record, finishing with eight catches for 63 yards. The Broncos (7-0, 2-0 Mid-American Conference) had 585 yards of offense.It was an incredible credit to our players, Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck said. They played possessed. They executed the game plan perfectly.Franklin, whose previous career-high rushing game was 211 yards against Idaho two seasons ago, ran for a 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Terrell was 21 for 31 for 207 yards.By the time the fourth quarter started, I really had no idea I had a lot of yards, Franklin said. Jamauri (Bogan) kept saying something about 200 but I thought he was lying, so Im like, `hey, whatever. I just go out there and move the chains.Western Michigan held Akron (4-3, 2-1) to 283 yards of offense and snuffed out their biggest threat in the second quarter when quarterback TraVon Chapman was intercepted by Broncos linebacker Casey Carson at the WMU 3-yard line.Chapman, subbing for injured starter Thomas Woodson for the third straight game, was 13 for 31 for 153 yards and was intercepted twice.THE TAKEAWAYWestern Michigan: The strong season continues for the Broncos. They looked efficient on most of their offensive drives and shut down the Zips. Every win makes coach P.J. Fleck more attractive to the Power Five teams expected to have coaching vacancies after the season.Akron: The Zips suffered their first MAC loss, but theyre still likely to compete for the East Division crown. That means they could see WMU again in the conference championship game.Every now and then, you just get beat, Akron coach Terry Bowden said. Tonight, we just got beat on offense and on defense. Western Michigan just took it to us, and we didnt have any answers.POLL IMPLICATIONSNot many people saw Western Michigan roll over the Zips. But the score was decisive enough for the Broncos to hold their No. 24 spot or even move up.GIVING IT UPWestern Michigan became the last FBS team in the nation to commit a turnover when Akron defensive end Daumantas Venckus recovered a Davon Tucker fumble at the Akron 14 in the second quarter. WMUs Terrell had thrown an interception deep in Akron territory in the first quarter, but a defensive holding call nullified the play. Akron intercepted Terrell for real in the fourth quarter.WORKING ON A DREAMWestern Michigan is 7-0 for the first time since 1941, when it finished the season 8-0. The Broncos havent won the conference since 1988, when they went 7-1 in the MAC and 9-3 overall. They were 1-13 in 2013 -- Flecks first season -- before going 8-5 the past two years.THATS NOT VERY NICEA motivating technique for the Akron players Saturday was breaking an oar into pieces before the game -- designed to make light of Flecks Row the Boat mantra, which is supposed to symbolize a group of people working in unison for a common goal. Fleck, who came up with the mantra after losing an infant son shortly after birth a few years ago, didnt like it.Its not very classy, in my opinion, Fleck said after the game. Were not into revenge. I do believe in righteousness....Very simple, I think its just two different cultures.ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAMOne of the biggest cheers from the sparse crowd at InfoCision Stadium came in the second quarter when the PA announcer informed the crowd that the Cleveland Indians had taken the lead in the American League Championship Series being played about 40 miles away at Progressive Field. The Indians took a 2-0 lead over Toronto.UP NEXTWestern Michigan: The Broncos return home to play Eastern Michigan.Akron: The Zips travel to face Ball State.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy Authentic Colts Hoodies . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble.

Colts Hoodies Shop . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The longest regular-season win streak in the NFL these days belongs not to the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, the NFC champion Carolina Panthers or the perennially contending New England Patriots.It belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs.The team of Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles and Co. that lost to the Patriots in the playoffs last season has not dropped a regular-season game since Oct. 18, 2015. And that means the Chiefs carry a 10-game streak into a season full of optimism that begins against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.It was such a good run last year and we felt like we had so much more in the tank, Chiefs center Mitch Morse said. We are ready to prove ourselves this year and go all the way. Thats the ultimate goal, and anything less is unsatisfactory.The Chiefs certainly hope to get off to a better start. After winning their opener in Houston a year ago, they proceeded to lose five straight games, a run of misfortune that included the loss of Charles to a season-ending knee injury.But behind the calming poise of Smith, the running duo of Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware, and a top-flight defense, the Chiefs pieced together one of the best stretches in franchise history. Not only did they return to the playoffs, they also won their first postseason game in nearly three decades.Now, they want to take another step.The ultimate goal, veteran pass rusher Tamba Hali said, is to win a championship here.As the Chiefs prepare for their season opener, here are the dominant story lines:INJURY WATCH: Pro Bowl linebacker Justin Houston will not be back until at least midway through the season after having surgery to repair a knee ligament in February. The Chiefs have also been cautious with Charles and Hali, both of whom are coming off their own knee surgeries.Im ready for whatever the coaches ask, said Charles, who likely will sit out the opener. Im ready, happy and looking forward to getting on the field. When my time comes, its going to come.SHARING THE LOAD: Charles, West and Ware give the Chiefs three running backs capable of carrying the load, so it will be interesting to see whether there are enough carries to go around. Charles is the most complete of the three, but the scatter-bug West and bruising Ware offer a nice change of paceAll of those guys have ddifferent things that they do well, co-offensive coordinator Brad Childress said.dddddddddddd. We expect them to do the same type of things.DEFENSIVE QUESTION MARKS: The absence of Houston and Halis age and health make the pass rush a significant question mark. Former first-round pick Dee Ford has not lived up to expectations, and a season-ending hip injury to middle linebacker Josh Mauga leaves the linebackers corps in flux.The Chiefs may need to generate quarterback pressure from Jaye Howard, Dontari Poe, Allen Bailey and rookie Chris Jones, who together form one of the leagues best defensive lines.We continue to come out and do a lot of good things, Poe said. I feel like we can be the best weve ever been since Ive been here. I feel like if we keep pushing well be right where we want to be.BUCKLING DOWN: There are also questions in the secondary, where second-year pro Steven Nelson and Phillip Gaines have been competing for the starting cornerback spot opposite Defensive Rookie of the Year Marcus Peters.Eric Berry should provide some leadership, but will he be rusty early on? The All-Pro safety did not sign his franchise tender and report to training camp until Aug. 31, so he missed all of the preseason.The only thing is just getting used to so many bodies flying around, NFL bodies, he said. You try to fill it in with high school players and other people that are around training, but its different when you have 11 guys on the field that know what theyre doing and know where to be. Things tend to move a little faster, so just getting that rust knocked off and adjusting quickly.CALLING THE SHOTS: Chiefs coach Andy Reid will continue to have the final say on offense, but hell have new voices helping him out. Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson is now the head coach in Philadelphia, so Childress is sharing duties with Matt Nagy. But both coaches insisted very little has changed.Theres some staples to our offense, but we grow, Nagy said. We adapt to the players that we have, and (Reid) is very creative. He does a good job of mixing guys around -- mixing and matching. So thats a part of keeping the game fun as well.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale NFL Gear Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys White NFL Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
