LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Germany went five days without winning a World Cup doubles medal. For USA Luge, the wait was six years.Both had ample reason to celebrate Friday.The German duo of Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken won the World Cup luge doubles race at Mount Van Hoevenberg on Friday, edging the American team of Matt Mortensen and Jayson Terdiman -- who took second on their home track for the first USA Luge medal on the circuit since 2010.Its been a long journey, for sure, Terdiman said.Eggert and Benecken finished their two runs in 1 minute, 28.382 seconds. Mortensen and Terdiman took the silver in 1:28.545, and Robin Johannes Geueke and David Gamm were third in 1:28.726.Eggert and Benecken are now 3-for-3 this season, having swept the doubles season openers at Winterberg last weekend.The last U.S. World Cup doubles medal was a bronze for Terdiman and Christian Niccum on Dec. 4, 2010. American doubles teams had not reached the podium in 60 World Cup races since, including sprint competitions.This one will taste better, I think, Terdiman said.The Americans didnt even have to wait to see the scoreboard at the finish line. From the roar of the crowd as they made their way out of the final turn, they knew a medal was theirs.Im really hoping this is the stepping stone for a brighter future, Mortensen said. This shows we can get in there. This was part of our four-year plan, to get a medal this season, and now weve done it early and this is fantastic.Mortensen and Terdiman held the lead for most of the first run, before Eggert and Benecken -- the last sled down the track in the opening heat -- edged them by 0.126 seconds.And that was essentially the final margin, though that didnt stop the Americans from celebrating wildly at the finish.U.S. womens luge star Erin Hamlin said Mortensen and Terdiman knew after last weekends World Cup opener, where they finished fourth in the sprint race and sixth in the doubles race, that they were sliding well enough to compete.Coming to home ice apparently was the final piece of the puzzle.This years been really good for them, Hamlin said. Theyve had really solid training. I think theyre finally at a point where theyre pretty comfortable on their sled, really enjoying sliding and feeling good about sliding. So I think its exciting to see.The mens singles race is later Friday, with the womens race and team relay event scheduled for Saturday.

Tim Williams, AlabamaGrade: 92Williams needs to work on his technique a bit, but he has a high ceiling as a pass-rusher.dddddddddddd With excellent first-step quickness, he notched seven of his 10.5 sacks last season in his final seven games. Williams is effective setting up blockers with initial speed before quickly planting and generating speed-to-power to rock offensive linemen on their heels.?He has yet to make a start in his first three seasons and is still raw particularly versus the run, but Williams possesses rare upside off the edge.?
