12 ! Monday, Nov: 15, 2010 Hamlin sees Chase lead cut at Phoenix By Jenna Fryer ASSOCIATED PRESS AVONDALE, Ariz. Carl Edwards marked the end of a 70- race losing streak by climbing into the grandstands at Phoenix International Raceway for a rau cous celebration with the fans. D NASCAR Roughly oO feet Hamlin sat in silence on the pit road wall, wondering how his iron clad grip on the Sprint Cup had been pried apart by fuel strategy. 'lt's tough to not be happy hav ing the point lead going into the last race. But we were sitting pret ty' Hamlin said. He was in prime position to take a comfortable lead into next week's season finale by dominat ing Sunday's race at Phoenix. He led a race-high 190 laps and had four-time defending champion .Jimmie Johnson in trouble for much of the afternoon. And when third-place driver Kevin Harvick was penalized for a loose lug nut on a late stop, noth ing seemed to be in the way of Hamlin's first career NASCAR title. Then cautions didn’t fall as thev McGloin From Page 16. taking responsibility for his inter ceptions at his postgame inter view. He said he didn't change his demeanor in the huddle at all from one half to the next, and quarter backs coach Jay Paterno saw the same thing. He was pretty poised.'' Paterno said. "He was fine the whole game. He didn't get to high, didn’t get too low. He did a good job managing that part of it.

(814) 865-2531 should have, Edwards chased him down and Hamlin had to bum a ton of fuel trying to preserve the win. His Joe Gibbs Racing crew knew he was going to be at least a dozen laps short of making it to the finish on his last tank of gas, and crew chief Mike Ford called in the No. 11 Toyota for gas with 14 laps remaining. Hamlin was in second place when he headed to pit road, with a nearly 60-point lead over Johnson. The pit stop dropped him to 19th, and he had to drive like a madman through the field trying to salvage the dav. His crew watched and waited for Johnson to make his fuel stop Harvick’s penalty had given him the opportunity to make an extra stop for gas but Johnson never ducked onto pit road. Crew chief Chad Knaus coaxed his driv er around the track, urging him to conserve every final drop. It played out perfectly for every one but Hamlin, whose rally still left him 12th. Johnson wound up fifth, Harvick was sixth and Hamlin's lead going into Homestead-Miami Speedway is a mere 15 points over Johnson. Harvick is a manageable 46 points out. Both Joe and Jay Paterno said they hadn't even given thought to the notion of who will start next week's game or even if there is a competition for the spot. McGloin has played the majority of the last four games after Bolden started the first six. McGloin finished the day going 15-for-30 for 159 yards with a pair of touchdowns. But he threw as many comple tions in the second half as he did interceptions, going 2-for-12. while consistently rushing throws. The most important stat on McGloin - s line was the two picks. three point game in the third quarter." Day to remember Offense: Wide receiver Justin Brown The Linns first touchdown pass in the Horseshoe during Paterno's tenure landed in the arms of the sophomore. Brown's 23 yard touchdown catch put the Lions on the board and was his third catch of the drive. He hauled in five passes for a career high 64 yards and was the game's top receiver in both catches and yardage. Defense: Linebacker Nate Stupar When Mike Mauti left the game in the second half with a shoulder injury, Stupar was forced to step in. Though the defense was gashed by the Buckeyes' ground game. Stupar finished the game with seven tackles, which ranked second on This time of year, students are in the holiday spirit!

AD DEADLINE: PUBLICATION DATE SPORTS Defense From Page 16. defense surrendered a season high in rushing yards, and much like the Oct. 9 loss to Illinois when Mauti sat out because of a high ankle sprain the defense couldn’t find an identity. Getting beaten by the ground game, as well as missing tackles and having lapses in coverage all took their toll during both games. But what the defense missed from a performance standpoint. Mink From Page 16. Ohio State countered. In a big way. It shut out Penn State in the second half, giving up just 60 yards of offense. Keying in on the run, Ohio State forced the Nittany Lions into mucky 3rd and-longs, buttoned up its inter mediate pass coverage and bait ed Matt McGloin to throw the deep ball, something he has no problem doing. “I think they knew what we were gonna do,” said McGloin. whose second half stat line of 2- for-12 for 18 yards and two inter ceptions was most certainly the result of his offensive coaches not having a Plan B. Trouble ensued. Devon Both came as a result of dis guised coverages and second half adjustments by Ohio State, he said. ‘The first half, I was able to just look at the coverage and bang. I knew where I was going." McGloin said. “In the second half, they did a great job of mix ing things up." Jay Paterno took some of the blame for the Nittany Lions' sec ond-half struggles. He said the offensive coaches didn't do a good enough job adjusting to the changes in Ohio State's cover age. They changed it up enough the team, and had nice pressure on a 3rd and 5 in the second quar ter that allowed Jack Crawford to record a sack. Day to forget Offense: Quarterback Matt McGloin McGloin's second-career start started off well but quickly became memorable for all the wrong reasons. The redshirt sophomore went 15-for-30 for 159 yards, but his gunslinger mental itv proved costlv in the second half. McGloin fired two intercep tions that were both returned for 30-plus yard touchdowns, which allowed Ohio State to regain a lead it hadn't had since the first quarter. Defense: Defensive line The entire defense, aside from Willis' fourth-quarter intercep tion. didn't make plays. The Buckeyes continued to plow it also struggled with the emotional loss of one of the lead- “He brings a lot of attitude and a lot of passion to the game." Stupar said. “He's a great player and last week and previous weeks he's shown that. I'm sure a lot of people were dis appointed that he got hurt and missed the second half, but there's always somebody else to step in." Stupar finished the game sec ond on the team with seven tackles, and while he said he felt his performance went well, he Torrence stuck with his man. then bolted to jump the route underneath to fullback Michael Zordich, batting it around for a few strides en route to a 34-yard touchdown, ending a streak of 91-straight pass attempts by McGloin without an interception. That gave Ohio State its first lead since 3-0. saddled McGloin to respond to adversity for the first time, and turned the game Turned the game 1 ? You're dragging behind. Tressel says. “Turning point means you're starting to head in the right direction, and then you have to do things like. 1 don't know, w e rushed for 314 yards and they had two defensive touch downs and did a little bit better on third down, but you've got to get the momentum Hipped and then come up with those plays coverage-wise to take away some of the easy stuff." Paterno said "We Ithe coaches I could probably have done a better job." Senior wide receiver Brett Brackett also didn't put the blame on McGloin's shoulders He noted a pair of cruel:;: drops as well its the receiver' mabilby to make a play on either o! the two interceptions. “You really can't knock bun a all."
