SALEM, Va. -- Blake Jackson knew that, more than usual, Mary Hardin-Baylors fortunes were going to be in his control with the NCAA Division III title at stake.The dual-threat quarterback embraced it, running for 119 yards and a touchdown and leading the Crusaders to a 10-7 victory over Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl on Friday night for their first football national championship.I like the pressure. I like the challenge, the senior said. Thank you to the coaches for believing in me.Jackson carried 28 times for the Crusaders (15-0), and completed 16 of 27 passes for 171 yards with an interception. The Crusaders virtually ignored running back Markeith Miller, who arrived with nearly 1,500 yards rushing, but gained just 11 on nine carries.We had trouble running the ball, coach Pete Fredenburg, who started the Crusaders program 19 years ago, said. Blake took up the slack. We felt like he was going to have to be the catalyst for our offense.Jacksons touchdown came on a 1-yard run with 3:16 left in the second quarter, and was the final score of the game.There was a ton of athletes out there tonight on both sides of the ball, Titans coach Pat Cerroni said. Great athletes, but No. 7 (Jackson) was exceptional.Dylan Hecker ran 2 yards to give the Titans (13-2) a 7-0 lead after just 6:22, but Oshkosh could never find that rhythm again. The Titans drove to the Crusaders 35 in the final minute, but Matt Cody intercepted Brett Kaspers fourth-and-10 pass from the 35 to clinch the victory.Dont drop it, Cody said he thought as the clinching play came spiraling toward him.Kasper finished 20 for 33 for 185 yards with two interceptions. The Titans were held to 30 rushing yards on 29 attempts.The Titans were playing in the championship game for the first time. Mary Hardin-Baylor lost in its only previous appearance in 2004.THE TAKEAWAYMary Hardin-Baylor: Jackson and the offense get the credit for scoring points, but the Crusaders defense held the Titans scoreless after the offense turned it over three times -- at midfield, at the Crusaders 27 and at the Titans 6 while looking for a cushion touchdown. The defense also stopped Oshkosh three times on fourth down -- twice inside the Crusaders 30 and then on the games penultimate play.Wis.-Oshkosh: The Titans run a modified 3-4 defense, with virtually no pass rush, and it backfired on them in the first quarter when the Crusaders used a 20-play, 66-yard drive to get their first points on a 22-yard field goal by John Mowery. On the drive, Jackson ran around behind the line unchallenged, at times finding receivers downfield and other times running through gaps for yardage. The Crusaders converted their first five third downs on the drive before settling for the field goal.BIG KICKJohn Mowerys 22-yard field goal was the difference, and he seemed like a liability to the Crusaders coming in.Hes made just 8 of 15 field goal tries on the season, with a long of 42, but was true when a 20-play drive stalled at the Titans 5.Mowery later missed a 19-yard try, while Oshkosh, whose kicker Eli Wettstein was 16 for 22 on the season with a long of 50, was left on the sidelines for the Titans final play. A field goal try would have been a career-best 52-yarder.MISCELLANYJaedon Johnsons interception for Mary Hardin-Baylor was their 33rd of the season. Codys was their 34th. ... Heckers touchdown run was his 17th of the season, but he finished with just 29 yards on 13 carries. ... Millers first touch for the Crusaders came on their 22nd play from scrimmage, and he was stopped without a gain. ... In a game that tied for the second-lowest scoring in Stagg Bowl history, the Crusaders finished 11 for 18 on third down and the Titans were 8 for 17.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Matt Irwin Predators Jersey .

That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Case Keenum threw four interceptions in the Los Angeles Rams third straight loss on Sunday, a 17-10 defeat at the hands of the New York Giants, but head coach Jeff Fisher said he is not ready to start No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff.The quarterbacks not the reason, by the way, that we lost three games, Fisher said in his opening statement from London, after the Rams fell to 3-4 heading into their bye week. Im staying with Case. He had a couple of tips and things like that today, not necessarily his fault, and then Brian [Quick] didnt get the audible adjustment at the end.Keenum began the game 5-of-6 for 74 yards and a touchdown, but he finished it completing only 27 of 47 passes and throwing four picks.The first went right through the hands of Tavon Austin, turning into a 44-yard touchdown return by Landon Collins. The last came in the end zone, after miscommunication with Brian Quick on an audible at the line of scrimmage, resulting in an easy interception by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.Take a look at the tape, Fisher said, see whos responsible for the interceptions.Fisher was intimating that the fault of the interceptions fell mostly on his receivers, pointing to another one on an incompletion to Kenny Britt, who was wide open for a deep ball that couldve resulted in a long score.?Keenum overthrew Britt while pressured, but Fisher said Britt stopped midway through his post route because the veteran receiver thought he wasnt the primary target.Said Fisher, speaking about the team in general: Well make changes at receiveer before I make changes at quarterback.ddddddddddddBut the middle two interceptions were all on Keenum, who made poor throws to Austin that were picked off in an ugly last three quarters for the offense. No. 2 was another tipped ball that fell into Collins hands, and No. 3 was thrown into double coverage in the end zone for the first of two by Rodgers-Cromartie.Over the last two weeks, Keenum ranked second in the NFL in completion percentage and fifth in passing yards. But he failed to convert on final drives that couldve tied or won the game each time and still entered the Week 7 matchup with the second-worst Total QBR among qualified quarterbacks.Then he played poorly, prompting speculation about whether its time to go with the anticipated future face of the franchise. Still, Fisher said: Jareds going to play when we feel Jareds ready. Had we won this game you wouldnt have been asking about Jared, which I understand. But we didnt lose this game because of quarterback play today. We lost it at some other positions.Last year, though, Fisher said immediately after a Week 10 loss that he wasnt ready to make a change from Nick Foles to Keenum, then went from Foles to Keenum the very next day.Keenum has thrown an interception on the Rams last possession in each of the past three games.I take full responsibility, Keenum said. You cant turn the ball over in this league. ... Ive got to get better. ' ' '
