ALBANY, N.Y. –  Nick Doscher threw for a pair of touchdowns, and the Wagner defense held Albany to 188 yards of total offense as the Seahawks overcame preparation obstacles due to Hurricane Sandy to topple the Great Danes 30-0 for first place in the Northeast Conference. The Seahawks (6-3, 6-1) won despite a disrupted work week due to Hurricane Sandy. The Wagner campus was evacuated Sunday, and players reconvened Tuesday to prepare for Albany (7-2, 5-1) on a campus that was still shut down and without electricity. Wagner's six-game winning streak is its longest since 1988, and its longest ever in NEC play. Doscher was 10-of-15 passing for 253 yards and two TDs, including an 88-yarder to Anthony Carrington early in the third quarter that stretched Wagner's lead to 20-0.

East Rutherford, NJ –  Matt Moore came off the bench to throw for 131 yards and a touchdown, and the Miami Dolphins dominated on defense and special teams en route to a convincing 30-9 rout of the rival New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Moore replaced Ryan Tannehill after the rookie first-round pick injured his left quadriceps on a sack by New York's Calvin Pace during the Dolphins' second drive and completed 11-of-19 passes without a turnover. He received plenty of support from a defense that sacked Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez four times and came up with two takeaways as Miami (4-3) registered its third straight win following a 1-3 start.

Norv Turner still on shaky ground | Redux

Norv Turner still on shaky ground

Excerpt:

San Diego's Thursday evening win reportedly saved Norv Turner's job, but for how long? Owner Dean Spanos had actually thought through what he could do if the Chargers had actually lost their fourth straight game, 2 sources told Yahoo! Sports. As hard as it would have been (the Chargers do not have any person else on the training staff who has ever been an offensive coordinator or who has called the plays), Spanos likely would have pulled the plug on Turner. And according to the aforementioned report, he would have been changed by special-teams organizer Rich Bisaccia. ... The genuine question is whether Turner-- who is still under immense pressure, according to one of the sources-- will continue to endure his merry-go-round run on the training hot seat. (Yahoo! Sports) Comment

Tim Tebow stays tight with his old coach.

Syracuse, NY –  Michael Carter-Williams filled the stat sheet with 11 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds and three steals, as No. 4 Syracuse cruised to an 84-48 victory over Eastern Michigan on Monday. DaJuan Coleman scored 14 points, Brandon Triche added 12 and Jerami Grant and Trevor Cooney each chipped in 11 for the Orange (6-0), who have won a school- record 26 consecutive games at the Carrier Dome. Rob Murphy, who spent seven years as an assistant coach under Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, got a rude welcome from his mentor for the second straight year. The Eagles (5-2) committed 24 turnovers and shot just 30 percent from the field one year after losing to the Orange by the same exact score. Derek Thompson and Glenn Bryant paced Eastern Michigan with 18 and 16 points, respectively.
