NEW ORLEANS -- Will Worth is getting a pretty good handle on this late-game heroics stuff.A week after Navys quarterback scored the winning touchdown on a late, 1-yard run against Connecticut in his first start, he did the same thing in a 21-14 American Athletic Conference victory against Tulane on Saturday night.The winner against Connecticut came with 3:08 left in a 28-24 victory and the winner against Tulane came with 2:57 left, capping a performance in which he had 111 yards rushing on 26 carries.The offense had confidence that we could move the ball and we just had to finish the drive, Worth said. It was great to see that the o-line was pushing, everyone just really gave everything they had for that last drive and it showed.Worth, a senior thrust into the starting lineup when Tago Smith suffered a torn right ACL in the season opener against Fordham, had eight carries for 58 yards on the winning 10-play, 72-yard drive. He threw a two-point conversion pass to Toneo Gulley for a 21-14 lead.It was a back-alley fight, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. They punch us, we punch them, they punch us, we punch them... Fortunately, at the end, we found a way to win that game.Tulanes Andrew DiRocco missed wide left on a 45-yard field goal attempt with 7:39 left in the game, setting up Navys winning drive.Its disappointing, but thats how Navy wins games, just how they did it, Green Wave first-year coach Willie Fritz said. They grind it out. Theyve got a winning culture there, and thats what we want to have.After a scoreless first quarter, Navy (3-0, 2-0 American) drove 94 yards on 15 plays and took a 7-0 lead on Chris Highs 6-yard touchdown run. The 15 plays were the most by the Midshipmen on a possession this season.Tulane (1-2, 0-1) responded with an 8-play (all runs), 75-yard drive capped by a 2-yard touchdown from Josh Rounds. He had five carries for 52 yards on the drive.Shawn White had 4-yard touchdown run, but Bennett Moehring missed the extra point and Navy led 13-7.The Green Wave responded with a 76-yard drive that ended with 36-yard touchdown run by Dontrell Hilliard with 19 seconds left in the third quarter.BACKFIELD DEPTHWorth and Gulley were the headliners, but the depth of Navys rushing attack was significant. Gulley had 80 yards rushing, but High (51 yards) and White (6 yards) scored the touchdowns that set the stage for Worths heroics.DODGING BULLETSThe Midshipmen nearly did themselves in with two fumbles, but the Green Wave failed to capitalize. Tre Walkers fumbled ended the first drive of the second half at the Tulane 30 and Worths fumble stopped another drive at the Tulane 34 early in the fourth quarter. Tulane, which did not commit a turnover, punted after the first recovery and missed a field goal after the second.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: The Midshipmen strengthened their position in the AAC with a road win as Worth continued to show growth. He not only ran for more than 100 yards and scored the winning touchdown, but he showed poise throughout the winning drive.Tulane: The Green Wave narrowly lost what would have been an uplifting win in Fritzs first AAC game. Freshman Johnathan Brantley had his moments in his first start, but hell need to show more consistency as a passer going forward. He completed 3 of 12 for 21 yards.UP NEXTNavy: The Midshipmen have an open date next week before visiting Air Force on Oct. 1 in their first game in this seasons Commander-In-Chief Trophy series. Air Force leads the series 28-20, but Navy won last seasons meeting 33-11.Tulane: The Green Wave conclude a three-game home-stand when they host Louisiana-Lafayette next Saturday. Tulane leads the series 21-6, but the Ragin Cajuns prevailed in the last meeting, 24-21, in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl in 2013 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Denzel Ward Womens Jersey .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Todd Richards got a vote of confidence from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. The club signed Richards to a one-year contract extension through the 2014-15 season. The 46-year-old Richards has a record of 42-38-9 in his 99 games with the Blue Jackets, including a 24-17-7 mark and franchise-best .573 winning percentage in 2012-13. The club, which was last in the NHL after its first 19 games, went 19-5-5 to the finish and tied for eighth in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs on a tie-breaker with Minnesota. "We believe Todd is one of the top young coaches in our game and he has had a steadying influence on our team since taking over as head coach in January 2012," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "The hard work put in by Todd and our coaching staff has been a big reason for our teams improved play and we are excited that he wiill continue to serve as our head coach.dddddddddddd" Richards went 77-71-17 in two seasons as the head coach of the Wild in 2009-11. Hired as an assistant coach in Columbus, he took over when Scott Arniel was fired midway through the 2011-12 season, taking over a team that was 11-25-5, and went 18-21-2 the rest of the season. This past year, the Blue Jackets became known as a relentless, physical team -- just what Richards had hoped. "I always want to be known as a hard-working team. To me, it doesnt matter the skill that you have," he said after the season. "Our work ethic and how we stayed with it for 60 minutes became our identity." Earlier on Friday, Richards lost his top assistant when Keith Acton left to become associate coach of the Edmonton Oilers. Current assistant Dan Hinote is the most likely candidate to replace him behind the bench. ' ' '
