touchdowns and spearheaded a running attack that amassed 572 yards and scored seven touchdowns as Youngstown State ran all over Antworten

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Martin Ruiz ran for 183 yards and three touchdowns and spearheaded a running attack that amassed 572 yards and scored seven touchdowns as Youngstown State ran all over Missouri State 65-20 in the Penguins regular season finale Saturday.Youngstown State (8-3, 6-2) entered Saturday a game behind both North Dakota and South Dakota in the Missouri Valley Football Conference standings.Joe Alessi ran seven times for 190 yards and two scores and Jody Webb carried 15 times for 166 yards and two touchdowns.Ruiz scored from 3-yards out and again from a yard out in the first quarter. He broke a 94-yard touchdown in the second. Alessi scored on runs from 61 and 75-yards out in the fourth quarter and Webb scored on runs of 52 and 53-yards.Brodie Lambert was 18 of 34 for 197 yards and two touchdowns for Missouri State (4-7, 2-6). When Tim Duncan decided to reflect on his outstanding 19-year NBA career, the understated star did it in the most Timmy way possible: seated at a table with a friend from the islands.Two days after the San Antonio Spurs announced his retirement , Duncan told longtime friend Rashidi Clenance that he simply started not enjoying myself as much. It wasnt fun as much. When its not fun anymore, Im done.When the decision was made public, Duncan was hailed as perhaps the greatest power forward the league has ever seen, a five-time champion and unparalleled teammate whose selflessness and determination served as the backbone for the most enduring success story in American sports over the last two decades.Duncan tried to avoid much of the praise, watching former teammate Bruce Bowens tribute on ESPN and coach Gregg Popovichs emotional news conference on Tuesday.I about lost it on that one, Duncan said during the interview streamed online by ViVid Streaming.I didnt expect the response that I got, Duncan said. No, I didnt. Thats the way Im built. I knew that I didnt want to sit there and watch what was being said. Its appreciated, but I just didnt want to watch it.Duncan looked relaxed while doing the interview, seated at the table with a green T-shirt with a picture of Manu Ginobili and himself blocking out. He said there were no immediate plans for the next phase of his life, which is just the way he wants it.Thats the beauty of it. There is no script, Duncan said. For the first time in 20-something years, I dont have a script. I dont have somewhere I have to be and something I have to do. So, I get to go out and enjoy my kids even more. Outside of that, I get to do a little living..ddddddddddddDuncan has two children -- son Draven and daughter Sydney -- and for several years has had a side business in San Antonio customizing automobiles.I dont know that they were happy or sad, Duncan said of his children. I think theyre OK with the fact that Im going to be around more and they dont have to compete with the schedule or anything else. So, I think theyre happy about it but theyre sad that they wont be able to go to the games and see me play. Its mixed.Duncan downplayed the significance of his career several times during the interview, consistent with his humble demeanor ever since he was the No. 1 overall pick out of Wake Forest in 1997. He said he never pays attention to comparisons between himself and other all-time greats.I dont really care where the rankings go, he said. Im in the conversation. Im OK with that. Thats above and beyond anything I ever thought Id ever be. That in itself is an honor.Duncan also penned a letter to Spurs fans that was posted on the teams website and said he was taken aback by all of the fawning over the last three days.Luckily Im not dying, he cracked. Im just moving to another chapter.He grew emotional as the interview came to a close.Its been fun, Duncan said, pausing to compose himself. The next chapter will be fun, too. I really enjoyed the ride. I really enjoyed the cheers and the laughs and the highlights and the lowlights, everything that comes with that package. ... No better way to put it than, `Thank you.---AP freelance writer Raul Dominguez in San Antonio contributed to this story. ' ' '
