Today's SportsGEORGETOWN - Last season it was seven turnovers that cost Temple in its season opener. The Wildcats lost their next game, but it was because they were up against a superior opponent. For the most part, the turnover mistakes had been corrected.
The problems in this year's opener, a 27-24 home loss to Pflugerville Connally last Friday, were one late turnover and two coverage breakdowns.
WACO - It took four overtimes on a wild Thursday night but the Troy Trojans earned their first victory of the season.
Marcus Ege scored on the third play of the fourth overtime and defensive back Jason Mayo made the game-ending sack on West's two-point conversion attempt to give Troy a 39-37 win in the Westfest Bowl at Waco ISD Stadium.
AUSTIN - The Alamodome scoreboard declared a loss.
So did the Belton Tigers' dejected mugs after their valiant season-opening effort came up short in a 36-27 loss to No. 2-ranked Abilene last Friday in San Antonio.
ROGERS - Sure, there's no longer any postseason implications riding on tonight's showdown between rivals Academy and Rogers. But that hardly means that it's suddenly become just another football game.
"I know it's not for this community," Rogers coach Jeff Walker said.
CAMERON - At this point, it's almost routine now.
About this time each fall, Decrick Westbrook finds his way to class and settles into a desk for the start of another school year. Soon after, his new teacher calls out students, name by name, making sure everyone is accounted for.
ARLINGTON (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys are going into the season feeling a lot better about kicker David Buehler.
Limited to kickoffs as a rookie last season, Buehler showed he can handle placekicks, too, by making field goals of 51, 45 and 40 yards - all with plenty of room to spare - then nailing a 31-yarder as time expired to lift the Cowboys past the Miami Dolphins 27-25 in the preseason finale Thursday night.
