PULLMAN, Wash. -- Washington State coach Mike Leach is famous for his Air Raid passing offenses.Turns out the Cougars have a ground game too.Washington State rushed for 280 yards and six touchdowns to beat Oregon 51-33 on Saturday, sending the Ducks to their third consecutive loss.Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and James Williams each ran for two touchdowns for Washington State (2-2, 1-0 Pac-12), which was coming off a bye week. Washington State defeated Oregon in double overtime last year, a game that sparked the Cougars run to a 9-4 record.I dont think anybody expected six touchdowns out of us, Morrow said. Its great.I dont think tonight was our full potential, Wicks said. Youll see a way better running team.Leach said the passing of Luke Falk, who threw for 371 yards, helped set up the ground attack.The biggest thing was the passing was real effective, Leach said. We got them off balance with the pass.Oregon (2-3, 0-2) has lost three straight games and held a team meeting earlier in the week to seek a turnaround.Royce Freeman, who missed the last game with a leg injury, ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns for Oregon.We didnt have any big plays of any kind tonight, said Oregon coach Mark Helfrich. Both sides put a ton of pressure on each other at the wrong times; the offense was not answering, the defense was not answering.Sticking together is paramount, and we will, Helfrich said.Washington State piled up 651 yards of total offense, to 416 total yards for Oregon.Falk completed 36 of 48 passes with one touchdown.Almost every play they called was a pass and they checked to a run, Helfrich said. That balance was very difficult for us to stop.Oregons Dakota Prukop completed 14 of 22 passes for 132 yards.Washington State came in averaging 121 rushing yards per game.Washington State opened the scoring with Falk hitting Gabe Marks on a 7-yard touchdown pass.Oregon replied with an 11-yard touchdown run by Freeman to tie the score at 7-7.Washington State marched 75 yards on its next drive, with Wicks running four yards for the touchdown and a 14-7 lead.Freeman bulled over from the 1 to tie the score at 14-14 midway through the second quarter.Washington State went 80 yards in seven plays on its next series, including a 40-yard bomb from Falk to Kyle Sweet. Morrow ran the final 10 yards for a touchdown and a 21-14 lead.Oregon went three-and-out and Washington State got the ball near midfield. Wicks scored again, this time on a 2-yard run, for a 28-14 lead at halftime.Washington State opened the second half by marching to the Oregon 5, but Erik Powells 22-yard field goal attempt was blocked. He has missed all four of his field goal attempts this season.Oregon immediately gave the ball back, when Dwayne Stanford fumbled after a reception and WSUs Robert Taylor recovered. He returned the ball to the Oregon 26. But Washington State turned the ball over on downs when Falks pass to Sweet in the end zone fell incomplete.Prukop was then sacked in the end zone by Hercules Mataafa for a safety and WSU led 30-14.After a WSU punt, Freeman ran 75 yards for his third touchdown to cut Oregons deficit to 30-20 late in the third. Oregons conversion pass failed.The Cougars replied with a 75-yard drive that ended with Morrows 14-yard touchdown run for a 37-20 lead.Williams added a 38-yard touchdown burst midway through the fourth that gave Washington State a 44-20 lead.Charles Nelson returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to cut WSUs lead to 44-26.Williams added a 3-yard touchdown run.THE TAKEAWAYOregon: The Ducks lead the all-time series 47-40-7, but are clearly not as formidable as in recent years. Their defense looks suspect.Washington State: The Air Raid offense also has a ground attack this year. The Cougars appear to be rebounding from an 0-2 start, and have topped 50 points for two consecutive games. WSU, which beat the Ducks 45-38 in double overtime last season, notched consecutive wins over Oregon for the first time since 2002 and 2003.UP NEXTOregon hosts No. 10 WashingtonWashington State plays at No. 7 Stanford, which lost big at Washington on Friday.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Getting Dirk Nowitzki back on the court couldnt come at a better time for Dallas. Without him in the lineup, the Mavericks have struggled to get enough done on offense to offset their defensive shortcomings.Nowitzki has been sidelined since the teams season-opening 130-121 loss to the Indiana Pacers. He has been nursing a sore Achilles tendon and dealing with a stomach ailment. Without the veteran forward, Dallas (0-3) is one of six NBA teams that still hasnt won this season.The latest loss for the Mavericks was perhaps the most painful. Dallas fell 93-92 to Houston on a free throw from James Harden with 0.1 second left after shooting just 38.1 percent (32-of-84). Solving these sudden offensive woes has become top priority.We have to keep finding ways, guard Wesley Matthews said. Our margin for error is slim, like most NBA teams.Nowitzki plans to return to the starting lineup when the Mavericks face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Having him back on the floor for a tough road game could give Dallas a major boost.I feel better, Nowitzki told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Tuesday. Its been obviously a rough few days.Nowitzki has a knack for unleashing offensive fireworks against Utah. In the three games last season, Nowitzki averaged 19.3 points on 55.3 percent shooting.Utah (2-2) should be better prepared for what Dallas can do this season. The Jazz handed San Antonio its first loss of the season on Tuesday night, downing the Spurs 106-91 behind 22 points and seven assists from veteran point guard George Hill. They got it done on both ends of the court.dddddddddddd San Antonio shot just 43.4 percent (33 of 76) while the Jazz made 48.4 percent (15-of-31) of their 3-pointers.Defense has been Utahs bread and butter early in the season. The Jazz have allowed just 89.3 points per game over their last three contests. Utah has held opponents under 90 points in 59 games dating to the start of the 2014-15 season -- the most of any NBA team.Offensively, the Jazz seemed to have figured things out. They hit a bump with a terrible shooting performance against the Clippers on Sunday, but bounced back in style against the Spurs two days later. Hill is a big reason behind it.In his first four games with the Jazz, Hill is averaging 20.5 points and 4.8 assists. He is also playing mistake-free basketball. Hill had zero turnovers against San Antonio and made several big baskets in the fourth quarter when Utah needed them to pull away.Jazz coach Quin Snyder said he has encouraged Hill to go full throttle on offense.Hes got a lot of pride in his defense, Snyder said after the teams home opener last Friday. We have talked about George being aggressive offensively. So I think the pride defensively and aggressiveness is what helps make him.Dallas eliminated Utah from the playoffs in its most recent trip to Salt Lake City in April. The Mavericks downed the Jazz 102-91 behind 22 points and 11 rebounds from Nowitzki, 23 points from Deron Williams and 20 points from Matthews. ' ' '
