PASADENA, Calif. Mark Eichhorn Blue Jays Jersey . - Touchdown. Turnover. Touchdown. Turnover. Touchdown.And on it went for Oregon.Marcus Mariota and the Ducks are built for speed and in a flash they turned the first College Football Playoff semifinal game into a Rose Bowl rout.The Ducks dusted Florida State 59-20 on Thursday and now its on to Texas to try to win their first national championship.Its incredible. Im so proud of these guys right here, Mariota said. Weve got one more to take care of.Pac-12 champion Oregon (13-1) will play Ohio State in the title game Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas. Ohio State beat Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night.The second-seeded Ducks scored six straight times they touched the ball in the second half, with five of the touchdowns covering at least 21 yards and the last four coming after Florida State turnovers.In a span of 12:54 on the game clock, the score went from 25-20 to 59-20.A lot of fun, said Oregon coach Mark Helfrich of the Ducks run, but at the same time these guys were able to retain a tremendous focus.In the matchup of Heisman Trophy winners, Jameis Winston matched Mariotas numbers, but the Seminoles (13-1) were no match for the Ducks.Third-seeded Florida States winning streak ended at 29. In Winstons first loss as a college starter, maybe his last game in college, he threw for 348 yards and turned the ball over twice.I think what he did as a competitor and what he does with his teammates, hes one of the great players in not only college football, but college football history to me, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. It was a tough day out there.Mariota was mostly brilliant again. Directing the Ducks warp-speed, hurry-up offence, the junior passed for 338 yards and two touchdowns. When he sprinted for a 23-yard touchdown with 13:56 left in the fourth quarter it made the score 52-20 and it made the Ducks the first team to reach 50 points in Rose Bowl history. This was game No. 101.The longer you go, the stronger you get, said Ducks safety Erick Dargan, who forced a fumble and intercepted a pass. We went longer and we stayed stronger. Everyone kept demanding more out of each other.The Ducks fans spent much of the final quarter mockingly doing the Seminoles warchant and tomahawk chop. After it was over the players sported T-shirts that read WON NOT DONE.The first playoff game at college footballs highest level, the type of post-season game fans have longed for forever, looked like it would be a classic for about two and a half quarters.Under a cloudless sky, on a chilly day in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl featured the third matchup of Heisman Trophy winners and a couple of quarterbacks who could be vying to be the first overall pick in Aprils NFL draft.On the same field where Florida State erased an 18-point deficit against Auburn to win the national title last year, the Seminoles trailed at half for the sixth time this season.And then the hole got deeper.Seminoles freshman Dalvin Cook was stripped by Derrick Malone Jr. with Florida State in Oregon territory. The Ducks quickly flipped the field and Royce Freeman scored his second touchdown of the day from 3 yards out to make it 25-13.Helfrich had called the Seminoles unflappable during the week leading up to the Rose Bowl — and they showed it on the next drive.Winston threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to freshman Travis Rudolph to make it 25-20 Oregon with 8:07 left in the third.Then the Ducks took off.Mariota zipped a pass to Darren Carrington for a 56-yard touchdown pass.Then another fumble by Cook, and the wave of big plays and points the Ducks do better than any team in the country started rumbling.Mariota hit Carrington for a 30-yard touchdown and the Rose Bowl, filled mostly with green and yellow, was rumbling, too.With the sun just about set behind the San Gabriel mountains, the Ducks put the Noles away.On fourth-and-5 in Oregon territory, Winston had lots of time but couldnt find a receiver. He was flushed from the pocket and as he loaded to throw his foot slipped and the ball popped out of his hands.It kind of looked like he slipped on a banana, like in cartoons, Oregon linebacker Torrodney Prevot said.The fumble bounced into Tony Washingtons arms and the defensive end went 58 yards for a score.It was just a crazy play, Winston said.The wave had washed over Florida State.Florida State had not lost since Nov. 24, 2012, to Florida. Winston had never lost a college start in 26 tries.Turnovers were a problem all year for Seminoles, who came into the game 84th in the nation in turnover margin (minus-3), and in the playoff it was ultimately what doomed them.We beat ourselves, Winston said. We were never stopped at all.Winston, whose two years at Florida State have been filled with spectacular play on the field and controversy off, still has two years of eligibility left, but he has nothing left to prove.Mariota and the Ducks are moving on, with a chance to add the biggest prize of all — the only significant one missing — to their trophy case.___Follow Ralph D.

Paul Quantrill Jersey .com) - American Madison Keys grabbed a first- round victory on Sunday in a rainy start to the Apia International Sydney tournament. https://www.cheapbluejays.com/596h-randal-grichuk-jersey-blue-jays.html . Szabados joined the Southern Professional Hockey League team last week. The 27-year-old goaltender from Edmonton backstopped the Canadian womens hockey team to Olympic gold Feb.MELBOURNE, Australia -- Venus Williams was moving freely in her first-round match at the Australian Open, breezing through the first set and getting a look at another break in the second against a player who upset her sister here two years ago. Thats when things started to go wrong for her Monday, the first day of the season-opening major. The seven-time Grand Slam champion missed the break-point chance in the sixth game and then, after getting to 40-30 on serve in the ninth, inexplicably firing three consecutive double-faults to surrender a break and just about the set to No. 22-seeded Ekaterina Makarova. After a quick break and a change of her self-designed zebra print dress, she took a 3-0 lead in the third before her unforced error toll climbed to 56 and Makarova won six of the next seven games for a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 win. The 33-year-old Williams, the second-oldest player in the tournament, has struggled with injuries and illness in recent seasons but reached the final of the WTA event at Auckland to start 2014 and came to Melbourne saying she was feeling better than she had in years. "The last 12 months I have had issues," she said. "But this year I definitely am looking forward to having a good run and feeling well." That didnt happen Monday. "My level was a little bit too up and down. Obviously my error count was a little high," said Williams, the 2003 finalist who was playing in her 14th Australian Open. "I have to give her a lot of credit, though, she was very determined ... played hard." Makarova said because it was the first match of the tournament, it was probably more difficult to beat Venus than it was to upset Serena Williams in the fourth round here in 2012. Shell meet another American in the second round after qualifier Irina Falconi beat Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain 6-3, 6-1. Two highly-ranked Italians lost in the first round, with 2012 French Open finalist Sara Errani, seeded 7th, beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Julia Gorges of Germany and No. 12 Roberta Vinci losing 6-4, 6-3 to Zheng Jie of China. Montreal native Eugenie Bouchard, who is seeded 30th, reached the second round with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Chen Tang Hao of China. Bouchard led the opening set 3-1, only to fall behind 5-3. Bouchard saved set points in the ensuing game on Tang errors before finally earning a 7-5 win on a break. The 19-year-old Bouchard was more in control in the second set and dominated to win the set 6-1. Vasek Poospisil, a 23-year-old Vancouver resident who grew up in Vernon, B. Jacob Waguespack Blue Jays Jersey. C., also won his opening match early Monday. The 28th seed, playing in a grand slam for the first time, defeated unseeded Sam Groth of Australia 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Two-time finalist Li Na beat Ana Konjuh of Croatia -- the youngest player in the tournament -- 6-2, 6-0 in 61 minutes to set up a meeting with another 16-year-old in the next round after Belinda Bencic of Switzerland accounted for 43-year-old Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm in three sets. Date-Krumm was 27 years older than Bencic, the reigning French Open and Wimbledon junior champion. The 2011 French Open champion is in the same half of the draw as No. 1-ranked Serena Williams, who was scheduled to play a night match against Australian teenager Ashleigh Barty. Wimbledon semifinalist Kirsten Flipkens was the first woman into the second round when she beat Britains Laura Robson 6-3, 6-0. No. 9 Angelique Kerber, 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, No. 14 Ana Ivanovic, No. 26 Lucie Safarova, No. 28 Flavia Pennetta, No. 30 Eugenie Bouchard of Canada and No. 31 Daniela Hantuchova also went through. American Madison Keys wasted five match points in the second set and another in the third before finally beating Patricia Mayr-Achleitner of Austria 6-2, 6-7 (8), 9-7. Eighth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka, who won the recent Chennai Open in India, was the first man into the next round, advancing after just 15 games when Andrey Golubev retired with an injured left leg. Wawrinka, who lost 12-10 in the fifth set to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in the fourth round here last year in the longest Grand Slam match of 2013, was leading 6-4, 6-1 when his Kazakhstan rival quit. Two other players retired due to shoulder injuries, with Alex Bogomolov Jr., quitting after losing two sets to No. 15 Fabio Fognini and No. 12-seeded Tommy Haas pulling out when he was down a set and a break against Guilllermo Garcia-Lopez. Third-ranked David Ferrer opened with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Colombias Alejandro Gonzalez on Rod Laver Arena and No. 7 Tomas Berdych beat Aleksandr Nedovyesov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Other men advancing included No. 9 Richard Gasquet, No. 14 Mikhail Youzhny, No. 19 Kevin Anderson, No. 23 Ernests Gulbis, No. 29 Jeremy Chardy, No. 32 Ivan Dodig, who beat fellow Croatian Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (8), 6-3, 7-6 (4), and American Sam Querrey, who defeated Santiago Giraldo of Colombia, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (3).
