FRESNO, Calif. -- Arion Worthman is supposed to be the Air Force quarterback of tomorrow. Problem was, the Falcons needed him Friday to keep their free-falling bowl game hopes solvent.With the starting quarterback injured, and Air Force staring at a fourth straight loss, Worthman came off the bench midway through the third quarter and rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns to rally the Falcons to a 31-21 win at Fresno State.Coming off three straight losses, I knew I had to do everything I could to give us a chance to win, said Worthman, who entered the game with one rush and one pass in his career. I wanted to help our seniors finish strong.Air Force (5-3, 2/3 Mountain West Conference) can clinch a third straight postseason bowl with a victory Saturday at Army, or in any other of its final four games.As for the Bulldogs (1-8, 0-5), they lost a seventh consecutive game for just the second time in school history, joining the 1929 team, and matched the second-worst start in program history.Worthman was just the spark the Air Force game, and season, needed. Falcons coach Troy Calhoun was in no mood to discuss any potential quarterback controversy when asked who will start next week.Thats not something we have to answer right now, Calhoun said.Senior captain Nate Romine appeared to injure his ankle on a 2-yard carry with 6:19 remaining in the third quarter. Fresno State had just taken a 21-17 lead on KeeSean Johnsons third touchdown of the day, a 52-yard catch and dive to the pylon.It was crazy, Worthman said. Nate went down, and our whole sideline went quiet. I heard them shouting my number -- `2-2-2! and I knew it was my time to go.Fresno State, playing its first game since head coach Tim DeRuyter was fired, soon wished it hadnt knocked out the starting quarterback.Worthman showed an instant burst of speed running the triple option on keepers around the edge, and used his stout frame to muscle through the pile on interior runs.And, run, Air Force did. Worthman dropped back for one pass out of 31 plays, and was dropped for a sack with no attempted throws. Everything else was Air Force showing off the nations fifth-ranked rushing offense -- this time, with a quarterback leading the way.Worthman leaped into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown to give the Falcons a 24-21 lead with 13:02 left in the game. He sealed the win with a 4-yard keeper with 2:34 to play.Oh my gosh, Arion was awesome, senior tailback Jacobi Owens said. Im proud of him. It makes our team even better. We definitely needed to win. Were happy to get out of that slump.THE TAKEAWAYAIR FORCE: The Falcons have struggled on pass defense all season, but used four interceptions to turn back the Bulldogs. One, an end zone interception by Brodie Hicks, stopped Fresno State from taking a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Another, by Patrick Healy for a 35-yard touchdown return, capped a 17-0 Falcons run. The (first) pick was really huge, Calhoun said. One stopped points, one converted into points. We needed both.FRESNO STATE: The Bulldogs are out of bowl-game contention, so their attention is focused on finding the next head coach to replace DeRuyter. Local media reports name former Cal coach Jeff Tedford, a former Fresno State player and offensive coordinator, as the clear front runner. Tedford has long-running ties with Fresno State athletic director Jim Bartko from their mutual time at Oregon. Other potential candidates include Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, a former Fresno State quarterback, and former USC coach Steve Sarkisian.KEY NUMBERSAir Force: Kicker Luke Strebel made a conference-record 22 consecutive field goals before missing one in the previous game against Hawaii -- and then missed a 27-yard attempt in his first try Friday. The junior made up for it with a 27-yard field goal in the third quarter.Fresno State: Sophomore wide receiver KeeSean Johnson entered the game with three career touchdowns -- then matched that in a single game with scores of 36-, 2- and 52-yards. Johnson finished with 10 catches for a career-best 142 yards.Last wordSometimes I think we tend to give up on kids too quickly after they make mistakes, and that sends a bad message. I believe that leaving Chason (Virgil) in was the right decision. -- Fresno State interim coach Eric Kiesau, on not changing quarterbacks.UP NEXTAIR FORCE: The Falcons can win the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy for a record 19th outright time with a win next Saturday at Army. Air Force beat Navy 28-14 on Oct. 1 in the first leg of the round robin.FRESNO STATE: The Bulldogs hope to avoid the second 1-8 start in school history, dating to 1921, in next Saturdays trip to Colorado State.Replica Jordan España .

When the Senators lost backup goalie Andrew Hammond to a groin injury on Oct. 28 in Calgary, Nicholle urged her husband to rejoin the team.Anderson arrived in time to pitch another shutout on Sunday, this time a 37-save performance against the Edmonton Oilers. At the end of the night, he broke into tears.He held a strong face, but you could still see the pain in his eyes, Senators captain Erik Karlsson said of Anderson, who was recognized on Monday as the NHLs first star of the week for stopping all 59 shots he faced. He came in here and led by example. He didnt say much, had the same routine, and showed what a true leader he is. He did a hell of a game and got us the two points.Senators coach Guy Boucher said he was left speechless by the character both his goalie and team showed against Edmonton.We love hockey, its a great game, Boucher told reporters Sunday. But there are things bigger, and there are a lot of people who showed that tonight.The Senators (5-3-0) will play host to the Hurricanes ((2-4-2) twice in November.dddddddddddd Last season, they were 1-0-2 against Carolina.The Hurricanes most recently lost 4-3 at home to the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Their 3.75 team goals-against average is fourth highest in the league.Were giving up too much, coach Bill Peters told the teams website. Its not a recipe for success, short term or long term.Our details arent very good. It compounds itself. Puck management is the biggest thing we have to address.After facing the Senators, the Hurricanes will be off until visiting the Nashville Predators on Saturday.Its been a tough start, but it will be nice to get a few practices in after a big game in Ottawa, hopefully a good win, center Jordan Staal told the Hurricanes website. Well continue to work on the things we need to work on to be a better team.While Hurricanes center Victor Rask has picked up at least one point in every game this season, Senators winger Mike Hoffman finally scored his first goal of the campaign in Edmonton.Hoffman has been Ottawas top marksman in each of the past two seasons.Coming in here and facing one of the best teams in the league was a big task for us, Hoffman said of the Edmonton game. We all wanted to play for (Anderson) and do everything we could. Its a tough situation. Hes a huge part of this team and for him to come in here and stand on his head like that ... were a family.
