EAST LANSING, Mich. -- It had been nearly two months since Michigan State won a game, so coach Mark Dantonio and the Spartans were happy to celebrate this victory.Even if this was merely a matchup to see who could climb out of last place.Tyler OConnor threw three touchdown passes in the first half, and Michigan State snapped its seven-game losing streak with a 49-0 rout of Rutgers on Saturday in what was a matchup of the last two teams in the Big Ten without a conference win.We sort of climbed out under a rock a little bit, Dantonio said. Youd have thought we won the championship in that locker room. Its been a long time.Now Rutgers (2-8, 0-7) is alone at the bottom of the league after the Spartans (3-7, 1-6) raced out to a 35-0 halftime lead. LJ Scott ran for 103 of his 122 yards in the first half, and Demetrious Cox returned an interception for a touchdown.Rutgers never made it farther than the Michigan State 27-yard line -- and on that drive in the second quarter, the Scarlet Knights ended up punting from the 30. The Spartans drove 92 yards the other way and took a 28-0 lead on a 4-yard touchdown pass from OConnor to Josiah Price.Price caught two touchdown passes, including a 2-yarder that opened the scoring in the first quarter. Cox made it 14-0 with a 30-yard interception return, and OConnor added a 50-yard touchdown pass to Trishton Jackson later in the first.We got dominated from the start to the finish up front on both sides of the ball, Rutgers coach Chris Ash said.THE TAKEAWAYRutgers: This was a matchup of two teams at the bottom of the Big Ten, but it didnt look like they were on the same level. This was an obvious setback for the Scarlet Knights, who had been more competitive lately in losses to Minnesota and Indiana.Michigan State: Theres nothing the Spartans can do now to make up for the horrendous losing streak that derailed their season, but this was about as emphatic as a victory can get. Michigan State outgained Rutgers 440-149 -- and did it without injured defensive lineman Malik McDowell .LOYALThere were plenty of empty seats at kickoff, but the turnout ended up being fairly good considering the circumstances. Attendance was announced at 73,701, and both Dantonio and OConnor made a point of expressing their appreciation afterward.The fans that supported us today -- it was awesome to still see that many people pack Spartan Stadium, OConnor said. Were playing for people like that.BOTH WAYSMichigan State freshman Donnie Corley had two catches for 18 yards and also played some on defense. He made two tackles.STRANGE PENALTYMichigan State had a chance to substitute liberally late in the game, and that led to an unusual call in the second half. Running back Delton Williams and wide receiver Paul Andrie were in the game at the same time, but they both wear No. 22.The Spartans were penalized 5 yards.EXTRACURRICULARSAsh said he was disappointed that his team lost focus at times. Quarterback Giovanni Rescigno elaborated.Some of the guys were jawing with their guys, Rescigno said. Coach talks to us all the time about, youve got to stay focused, stay focused on the task at hand and in what were doing.UP NEXTRutgers: The Scarlet Knights return home to face Penn State next weekend, and theyll be heavy underdogs again.Michigan State: The Spartans host No. 6 Ohio State. The Buckeyes will be out to avenge an upset loss to Michigan State last year that kept Ohio State out of the national title hunt.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Indians Jerseys 2020 .

CHASKA, Minn. -- When Davis Love III and the U.S. Ryder Cup team come to Hazeltine at the end of the month, they will be looking to avoid an unprecedented fourth straight defeat to the Europeans.The U.S. has spent two years planning and strategizing in hopes of turning the tide, and Loves first three captains picks lean heavily on experience as they try to end the skid.Love chose Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Matt Kuchar on Monday. He has one more pick to make, too.The Americans havent won since Valhalla in 2008, and they have only one rookie on the current roster while the Europeans will be bringing six newcomers to Minnesota.Experience is good. We know what to expect. We know how to handle it, how to deal with it, Love said. Weve been there. Were going to learn from our mistakes in the past and build on it.Love didnt surprise many people with his first three picks. Where he goes for the fourth and final spot may be a little more intriguing.Love said there was strong debate and discussion with vice captains Tiger Woods, Tom Lehman, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk late into the afternoon on Sunday before a consensus was finally reached, and those conversations will only increase before he chooses the final member of the team on Sept. 25 after the Tour Championship. The Ryder Cup begins Sept. 30.Holmes finished 10th in the Ryder Cup standings and called Love last week to tell him how important it was for him to be on the team. Holmes finished tied for fourth at the BMW Championship on Sunday and is one of the few active Americans to have never lost in the event. He went 2-0-1 at Valhalla.Some of my greatest memories in golf were at the Ryder Cup at Valhalla, Holmes said. So just really excited to get back in the Ryder Cup format and get out there and play.Fowler started the year with a victory in Abu Dhabi and was rolling at the Phoenix Open before losing a two-shot lead with two holes to play. He also lost the 54-hole lead at Wells Fargo and at Barclays, which prevented him from qualifying for the team on points. Fowler was part of the Ryder Cup Task Force aimed at turning around the Americans fortunes in the event, but he is 0-3-5 in two previous Ryder Cups, both on European soil.Kuchar was thought of as a favorite for one of the picks given hiis ability to play with any partner in a team event where chemistry is crucial.ddddddddddddHe has just one victory in the last two years at the Fiji International, but made a big impression by winning bronze at the Rio Olympics. He is 4-5-2 in his Ryder Cup career and has played on three previous American teams.It stinks for me to be sitting on the outside needing a pick, Kuchar said. I thought I had a nice year, but not nice enough to qualify on points. Team USA is certainly very strong. To have the picks weve had is fantastic.The three captains choices join Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson, who qualified in the final standings for the Americans.Left off the initial round of captains picks was Bubba Watson, currently ranked No. 7 in the world. He won at Riviera, but hasnt won a singles match in three Ryder Cups.Furyk was also passed over despite finishing tied for fifth and shooting 58 at the Travelers Championship. He did not make it to the BMW Championship, but he lost four months of the season to wrist surgery and only started playing in May.Other candidates include second-year pros Daniel Berger and Justin Thomas. Berger won at Memphis and Thomas won the CIMB Classic in Malaysia last fall, but the task force decided not to start counting points until 2016.Were a sports team and we have to draft the right player for the right position, Love said. Theres going to be a lot of stats and a lot of things to look at. But making our pairings, fitting into the team, doing all the little things youre asked to do, these three guys fill incredible roles and a lot of different roles.Kuchar said he had heard rumors of another candidate.That last pick is going to be quite amazing. I dont envy Daviss position. So its a tough job. But gosh, imagine that, Tiger Woods playing for Team USA, being a captain, Kuchar deadpanned. That would be incredible.I was originally going to go with me and my son Drew and Tiger, Love quipped. But none of us have shown any form coming off of injuries.---AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson contributed to this report. ' ' '
