His last two scoring runs came in the third quarter, when Georgia Tech extended a 17-7 halftime lead.Thomas threw for 136 yards and ran for 84 yards before sitting out the final quarter as Georgia Tech (3-0) remained undefeated against Vanderbilt (1-2) since World War II.Today was our day, Thomas said.The Yellow Jackets gained momentum for Thursday nights visit from No. 5 Clemson as they won their sixth straight game in the series and improved to 12-0-1 against the Commodores since 1941.Vanderbilt was held to 275 total yards, including 69 yards rushing on 18 carries by Ralph Webb, who led the Southeastern Conference in rushing through two games.Georgia Tech produced a surprising 222 yards passing, including a late 77-yarder from backup Matthew Jordan to Clinton Lynch.The Commodores were held to 85 yards rushing while averaging only 2.8 yards per carry.Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason gave credit to Georgia Tech defenders for looking sort of like popcorn as they shed blockers.A guy was on a block and all of a sudden got off a block and our back would have to change direction, Mason said.Kyle Shurmur capped Vanderbilts opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kalija Lipscomb.We werent expecting that big play out the gate for them, but they scored fast and we had to come back and score fast, Lipscomb said.Mills, a freshman, had the game-winning touchdown in Georgia Techs season-opening win over Boston College but was held out of last weeks win over Mercer as punishment for an undisclosed violation of team rules.Sitting out last week made me think a lot, Mills said. It hurt my team.THE TAKEAWAYVANDERBILT: The Commodores were held to one touchdown for the second time in three games. Vanderbilt opened with a 13-10 loss to South Carolina before beating Middle Tennessee 47-24. Webb was effective at times but had too little help. Vanderbilts defense was fooled too often on late option pitches by Thomas.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets already have matched their win total from 2015, when they finished 3-9. The offense struggled at times in a 17-14 win over Boston College to open the season but has since gained momentum. It was no surprise to see the spread option attack produce 289 yards rushing.UP NEXTVANDERBILT: The Commodores will be looking to make up for last years 14-12 home loss to Western Kentucky when they face the Hilltoppers in Bowling Green, Kentucky.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets will have a quick turnaround but at least wont have to travel before playing No. 5 Clemson on Thursday night. The Tigers have won three of the last four in the series, including a 43-24 win at Clemson last season. Georgia Tech took a 28-6 win in 2014, the last time the game was played at Bobby Dodd Stadium.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Ben Gamel Jersey . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide.

Denard Span Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Edwin Diaz Jersey . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Everywhere Sue Bird looks on the court, theres someone in a U.S. jersey that can score. Its a point guards dream.From top to bottom this version of the American Olympic womens basketball team is stacked with offensive weapons. And at the early pace they are scoring at the Rio Games, they might break the 1996 teams record average of 102.4 points a game.Diana Taurasi scored 13 points and Sylvia Fowles added 12 on Monday as the U.S. posted its second blowout in as many days, beating Spain 103-63 on Monday. Thats two consecutive contests the U.S. scored at least 100 points -- the last time the Americans did that was in 2004.A lot of Olympic teams that Ive been on have had offensive power, but now we go all the way down the line to the 12th player, said Bird, who had nine points and five assists in the win. And the minute you stop theres no let-off. That person comes in and can do just as much offensively as the next. And also, we have our foot on the gas pedal.Were trying to get better in every single game and you cant, you cant relax. I know the score is, it is what it is. But we dont relax regardless.This team is so good offensively that reigning WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne comes off the bench and Tamika Catchings is the 12th player.Weapons. Were full of weapons. One through 12, everybody that comes in contributes to some capacity, Catchings said. And thats offensively, defensively as well. Youre talking about 100 points -- youve got to be able to score. Its fun. Its fun to watch. Its fun to be a part of. When we move the ball and everybody is just kind of like -- everybodys doing their part -- screening, rolling, cutting to the basket -- you never know where the shot is going to come from. As a team, were so selfless.The Americans (2-0) had a team-record 36 assists in the opening win. They followed that up with 23 against Spain.The victory was the 43rd consecutive for the U.S. in the Olympics. The contest was a rematch of the 2014 world championship gold medal game that the Americans won by 13. While this win didnt come in the same record fashion the U.S. opened the Olympics with when it beat Senegal by 65 points, the Americans coasted after the first few minutees.ddddddddddddSpain (1-1) led 8-6 before the U.S. closed the quarter on a 23-6 burst. Delle Donne was in the middle of it. She had seven points, including a 3-pointer from the wing that made it 27-11 during the game-changing spurt. The Spaniards couldnt get within single digits the rest of the way.Everyone we bring in off the bench can score and make a play, U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. Its fun to watch. For as little time as we had together, we do a lot of really nice things out there which is nice to see.Spain fought just to stay within 20 in the second quarter, thanks in part to the play of guard Leticia Romero, who stars at Florida State. The Olympic newcomer got her first playing time of the tournament and scored five straight points as Spain trailed 54-37 at the half. She finished with nine points.It was going to be a tough game, Romero said. They have to have a really, really bad game for us to have a chance to win it. Anything that we can get from today is positive.Bird ensured there would be some tough lessons Spain could take away.Playing in her fourth Olympics, Bird started the second half with a steal and then raced down the court for the layup. A few minutes later the lead was over 20 and the rout was on as Taurasi and Brittney Griner waved their arms to get a USA chant started. In Sundays win over Senegal, the crowd was behind the underdogs shouting down any American cheers. This time they wouldnt be drowned out.Alba Torrens, who the Connecticut Sun have the rights to in the WNBA, led Spain with 20 points.Spain missed the 2012 Olympics, but won the silver at the worlds. The Spaniards have never beaten the U.S. in a major competition, falling to 0-10 at the Olympics and world championships. They haveThe U.S. next plays Serbia on Wednesday while Spain faces China.In other games on Monday, Canada improved to 2-0 for the first time in Olympic history, rallying from 18 points down to beat Serbia 71-67. Japan also is 2-0 after beating Brazil 82-66. China topped Senegal 101-64.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg ' ' '
