TAMPA, Fla. -- Quinton Flowers threw for 350 yards and four touchdowns to lead South Florida to a 48-17 rout of Northern Illinois on Saturday night.With two-time American Athletic Conference rushing leader Marlon Mack sitting out after spending the past week in the concussion protocol, Flowers accounted for 403 of his teams 658 yards total offense while tossing TD passes of 73 yards to Ryeshene Bronson, 26 yards to Rodney Adams, 13 yards to DErnest Johnson and 6 yards to Chris Barr.The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 53 yards on 11 carries, helping the Bulls (2-0) -- preseason favorites to win the Americans East Division -- remain unbeaten through two games for the first time in four seasons under coach Willie Taggart.2-0! Its been awhile, Taggart, 14-23 in his first three seasons with the Bulls, said. Climbing is easier than hanging on.Northern Illinois quarterback Drew Hare was carted off the field with an apparent left leg injury midway through the third quarter. The redshirt senior missed the last five games of 2015 with a right Achilles injury.Backup Ryan Graham threw an 11-yard TD pass to Aregeros Turner, who also scored on a 4 run for the Huskies, who lost their season opener at Wyoming 40-34 in triple overtime.THE TAKEAWAYNorthern Illinois: The Huskies have played in six straight Mid-American Conference championships games and also appeared in a league-record eight consecutive bowl games, which is to say the most important part of their season is still ahead of them. The 0-2 start will mean little if NIU can rebound -- especially defensively -- to make another strong run in conference play.South Florida: Taggart has his team playing with confidence and swagger. The Bulls have won nine of 11 games dating to last season, improving to 2-0 for the first time since 2012, when they went on lose nine of 10 and finish 3-9. The last time USF won three straight to begin a season was 2011, when it dropped seven of eight following a 4-0 start to wind up 5-7. Houston may be the team to beat for the American title, however Taggarts bunch looks as strong as any bidding to represent the East in the leagues championship game.NEXT MAN UPMack led the American in rushing the past two seasons. He had a streak of five consecutive 100-yard performances ended when he sat out the entire second half of USFs season opener against Towson, finishing with 58 yards. Darius Tice replaced him in the starting lineup Saturday night and gained 120 yards on 19 attempts. DErnest Johnson shared the workload, finishing with 87 yards on 16 attempts.It was good to get so many guys get involved and contribute, Taggart said.TRACKING THE HUSKIES:A week after scoring three touchdowns and leading NIU with 144 yards receiving and 82 yards rushing, NIUs Kenny Golladay was limited to four receptions for 43 yards and no TDs. Hare, meanwhile, completed 13 of 20 passes for 96 yards, no TDs and no interceptions before being injured when he was nearly tackled in his own end zone with 7:43 remaining in the third quarter. Graham was 9 of 15 for 65 yards, one TD and no interceptions.I dont know the diagnosis on Hare, NIU coach Rod Carey said, Right now, well move forward with Ryan.UP NEXTNorthern Illinois: Huskies get a break from the road, where they played consecutive games to begin a season for the first time since 2013, and return to DeKalb, Illinois for their home opener against San Diego State.Itll be good to be home, Carey said. Weve got to a bunch of things to correct and move forward.South Florida: Begins the tougher portion of its non-conference schedule, traveling to Syracuse next Saturday before returning home to face No. 3 Florida State in two weeks.Now we get to see if we can take this show on the road and do what we do at home, Taggart said. Erik McCoy Youth Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.

Archie Manning Youth Jersey .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. NEW YORK -- Given he never pitched into the ninth inning this year, CC Sabathia is happy the New York Yankees brought back Aroldis Chapman.Its exciting when he comes in. It just lights up the Stadium, Sabathia said Wednesday at the Yankees holiday food drive.New York traded Chapman to the Chicago Cubs in July for prospects, including touted 20-year-old shortstop Gleyber Torres and pitcher Adam Warren.After helping the Cubs win their first World Series title since 1908, Chapman became a free agent and agreed last week to an $86 million, five-year contract with the Yankees, a deal that has not yet been finalized.The Yankees also dealt Andrew Miller to Cleveland, leaving Dellin Betances as the remaining reliever from their late-inning triad.Now Chapman and Betances will form a duo, with Tyler Clippard, Tommy Layne and Chasen Shreve among a large group competing for sixth- and seventh-inning mound time.I think with the guys that we have now, you have that same kind of relief where you can go out and pitch a good game and feel like the games shut down once you get to those guys, Sabathia said.Sabathia took an overnight flight from Portland, Oregon, after attending an NBA game with Derek Jeter. Sabathia has been at Yankee Stadium several times each week following arthroscopic surgery Oct. 11 on his right knee.Im trying to get my mobility back and make sure that Im ready to go come spring training, he said.A 36-year-old left-hander, Sabathia pitched with a brace on the knee this yearr and went 9-12 with a 3.dddddddddddd1 ERA, his lowest ERA since 2012. He will make $25 million next year, the final season of his contract.He figures to slot in second or third in a rotation that includes Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda, who also can become a free agent after next season.Luis Severino, Adam Warren, Bryan Mitchell, Luis Cessa and Chad Green figure to compete for the final two starting berths.Well see how it shakes out and who ends up in the bullpen. But its exciting to have this kind of talent, Sabathia said.Severino was 5-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 11 starts over the final two months in 2015. The 22-year-old right-hander went 3-8 with a 5.83 ERA this year in 11 starts and 10 relief appearances, making only four big league starts after mid-May.I felt like we kind of put some expectations on him, some heavy ones, and things just kind of snowballed on him, Sabathia said. Obviously, him going back down and coming back up and pitching well out of the bullpen helped him confidence-wise.New York is going with youth, planning to start Gary Sanchez at catcher, either Greg Bird or Tyler Austin at first, and Aaron Judge or Aaron Hicks in right.It is a team in transition, Sabathia said. Watching all the young kids come up and do what they did last year was fun, and hopefully they can keep it going and carry us hopefully to the playoffs this year. ' ' '
